For those who have heard and enjoyed the extended mix what elements from that do you feel should be added to the performance at the contest? Because I don't know what could be added.
As has been pointed out, Ollie didn't sing live, he is miming the "live" version he recorded earlier in the week. So in that regard, it is on par with what we had before, for better or worse.
Like I said earlier in the thread, I fear that as much as I like the song and as great a pop song as I...
I feel this live version feels stronger overall, but the spoken word part here felt weaker, it almost sounded like he gave up midway through and even when he did it, it didn't sound all that loud. I like the moment in the song otherwise, but I feel that if he is going to do it, then he needs to...
Personally, I think that staging is overvalued by Eurovision fans, however, good staging can help elevate an otherwise mediocre song or at least make it a little more memorable, and in a final of 24 other nations that can help. It won't be the thing that wins it, however. And as I have said...
I have a feeling that the staging for this one at the contest is going to involve a rotating stage, at least one, what else will be on there I don't know. But given the UK's love for big props (that totally aren't to help secure a better running order position wherever they are drawn) I can see...
I will admit that when I first listened to this last night I forgot that this was a song for Eurovision and just thought this was just some modern pop song that Youtube decided to recommend to me. I think that it is a solid pop song, well produced, and sounds great. However, and I know this...
Just think, in just four days we'll get to listen to a song that will either be really good or just rather mid but we'll pretend it isn't. Or three days if it gets leaked on a radio station the night before.
This is the most we've had to speculate on. Given that the act was confirmed early on we didn't have the chance to have page after page of doom and gloom. And that is the one thing we are truly great at!
I could see an entry being sent in a different language (or partly in a different language) than English. But I can only see that happening at the insistence of a big name they are desperate to keep on their side, or it is something that wins a future National Final. Providing we ever go back to...
Given the funding deficit the BBC has apparently been having as of late it most likely is a cost-cutting measure. How likely it is to happen most likely depends on future successes at the contest and securing funding for the company as a whole. If the UK does well this year and next it would be...
