United Kingdom UNITED KINGDOM 2022 - Sam Ryder - Space Man

[escYOUnited]

If I was an astronaut, I'd be floating in mid-air
And a broken heart would just belong to someone else down there
I would be the centre of my lonely universe
But I'm only human, and I'm crashing down to earth

If I was an astronaut, I'd have a bird's eye view
I'd circle 'round the world and keep on coming back to you
In my floating castle, I'd rub shoulders with the stars
But I'm only human, and I'm drifting in the dark

I'm up in space, man
Up in space, man
I've searched around the universe
Been down some black holes
There's nothing but space, man
And I want to go home

If I was an astronaut, I'd speak to satellites
My navigation systems would search for other life
But I'd be up here thinking 'bout what I'd left behind
'Cause I'm only human with the real world on my mind

I'm up in space, man
Up in space, man
I've searched around the universe
Been down some black holes
There's nothing but space, man
And I want to go home

Gravity keeps pulling me down
As long as you're on the ground, I'll stick around
Stick around
I'll stick around

I'm up in space, man
Up in space, man
I've searched around the universe
Been down some black holes
There's nothing but space, man, no
Oh, I'm in the wrong place, man
Nothing but, nothing but, nothing but space, man
Nothing but, nothing but, nothing but space, man

I've searched around the universe
Been down some black holes
Nothing but space, man
And I want to go home​

The UK is sending Rihanna or Swedish House Maffia?

Why is Scott Mills saying we don’t get behind our act? We don’t get ‘behind the act’ because we know it’s always poor.

 

[MopManMoss]

Im not having Scott Mills tell me that our bad 21st century performance is down to me not getting behind our acts rather than the fact we've sent absolute trash for 24 years

 

[hijirio]

 

[spinachpie]

Oh they haven't announced it yet. They are doing it now

I hope it's Cheryl Cole.

U.K. 2022: Sam Ryder “Space Man”

Just announced on BBC Radio 1

So the rumours were right!

 

[spinachpie]

Ok official now. Spaceman.

It's a nice song and I absolutely love Sam Ryder's voice. He will KILL IT live.

It's reminiscent of a Queen song, but is just not on the same level. I think it will grow more and more on me though.

Live, he will be SO GOOD.

That´s the same argument some German Eurovision fans in denial come up with as well:
"Germany only performs bad at Eurovision because German fans and press bash our entries"
Yeah, "Sister", "Black Smoke", "Perfect Life", "I Don´t Feel Hate" would have been Top 10 in televoting if people "had got behind these acts".

Lol, like foreign people know and care.

Dutch public wasn't too supportive towards "Calm After The Storm", finished 2nd in the end.

Wait before someone brings up Brexit.

Not THIS in an already dead-year.

At this point, whoever delivers a hot female bop will be crowned the landslide winner.

 

[UnitedKingdom]

What a shame for Sam, such a beautiful voice, very mediocre bland song, but doing this is guaranteed to destroy any chances of any career in music. Oh and we’ll get the same poor points (if any) we always get. Sad times for him.

At this point I’d literally rather we just send joke acts. Would fare the same as any other.

Armenia is our last hope to get one but based on the leaked snippets, they will go for a mid-tempo American highschool/teen soap soundtrack from the mid 00´s.

Hello Spain

Last year we had some of the best female bops Eurovision has ever had, but there were too many and they all failed. So we've gone the complete opposite lol

 

[hijirio]

Hello Spain

And Albania

 

[Mainshow]

Hello Spain

Nah, it´s a "hot female dance routine/performance" - the song is rather weak?

 

[MopManMoss]

The damage Terry Wogan did to this countries perception of Eurovision is immeasurable

 

[Jonkonfui]

This song and everything is a bit JesusChrist-ish.

I find it quite catchy. And I am all for a storming performance to elevate a song.
