Quite a good song, really radio friendly, but lacks a biiit of memorability. I mean, when you have loved “King”, this sounds a bit meh. However, I still like it. 8 points.

Excellent staging. This is wild, unashamedly queer, instantly iconic. I hope he gets all of the twelves. Maybe then we'll be spared stupidity such as "France Should Win Because He's Real".

I can't wait to see the 2nd rehearsal clip later today. I just hope it's super entertaining and very gay.

I wouldn't be surprised if Olly and his team have taken inspiration from this, if there was anyone that knew how to sell sex through pop music, it's Madonna.

Lmao, UK what is this. Love the act, but it feels more appropiate for some hard techno/trance beats.

If only Andrew from Cyprus last year was the singer. xheat

This is like.... a flawless visual representation of what romance as a queer man is like. Hardcore visuals over a brittle, dreamy, wistful libretto. Losing oneself into sex but always secretly desiring (but not daring to hope for) more. This is me. This is us. We are Olly Alexander.

It's perfect. :12: points.

That preview clip looks :love: PDG as I’d say - pretty darn good.

It’s better than what I had in mind for the song, thinking we might go a bit literal of the Dizzy them. It’s great though.

I missed a lot of the build up this year as I was away, but oh my god, this is serving so hard. Some people won't like it (and it's a lot), but some people will love it and that's what people vote for.

It's certainly solved the issue of Dizzy being a bit unmemorable :ROFLMAO:

I see the bigots and right wing trolls have got ahold of the shower clip of Olly and the dancers joking around yesterday, run with it as our actual performance. Even people like Oli London have shared it. I'd laugh that they're taking it so serious if the comments associated with it weren't so horrendous

Olly Alexander is staying true to himself as an artist and a person. No matter what the result, this WILL be memorable and this is such a moment for his career in the UK.

Olly wanted it to be gritty and full of surprises and he and his team have delivered. It looks so modern and expensive too.

Results wise, the juries will probably hate it, anything too homo can still intimidate some straight people, but I am hopeful with the televote. But whatever, this is such a moment for the UK's Eurovision entries and for gay people across Europe.

Even though I don't like the song itself much, I am indeed keen to see the performance. Like the first time for me where the red color truly fits to the staging atmosphere.

I thought I was the only one who thought this but I go and read the comments and... even to another person the bathroom where Olly sings looks like the one from SAW

"GAME OVER!" (quote John Kramer) xrofl
