United Kingdom UNITED KINGDOM 2025 - Remember Monday - What The Hell Just Happened?

[ESC United Mod Team]

So about the girls, I am sure they are really nice in person and hey are capable performers .... though I must say in this performance they are giving "mean girl clique"-vibes. It feels like they are so forcefully trying to make them likeable and relatable but it completely flops.

 

[Storm]

I had not paid much attention to the UK during the week but I thought this was a lot better than the doom and gloom made me think. I mean it's still giving 100% Glee high school theater group (German commentator also compared them to German band MeKaDo from 1994 lol) but that one girl surely can sing. I'm still convinced this is picking up at least 40-50 jury filler points. I don't believe in avoiding the zero televote points though.

 

[Kairit]

This song is the type where I really can't tell if it's good or just really bad. The girls come across as quite charming and likable though, but I can't see why people would vote for this.

 

[SpiritofKeiino]

I enjoyed the performance tonight. I agree it's not gonna get many votes, but they made me smile

I enjoyed the performance too, it fit the theme from the music video, and they looked like they had fun. And the girl in pink, Holly, she finally got her vocals in check which was my major issue with their pre-party performances.

Are we left hand side of the board - not a chance. Is this an amazing song that I'll play endlessly - nope. But is this at least watchable and enjoyable and different from what else the final is serving - 100%.

Bravo ladies - enjoy it on Saturday!

Producers choice, they have to put it as the closer

 

[Rocket man]

"WTHJH" is definitely not a song I would listen to by choice, however their voices are great and they were really selling it.

The problem is the people in the UK record companies and the BBC that will only agree to the UK sending safe, beige, pop songs. Ok, "WTHJH" is kinda quirky in how it's arranged but this song is no "Biology" by Girls Aloud.

The song itself is in my top 10 this year. I really think it is unique, but the performance just doesn't fit to the song. It is cringe to watch at. I am really certain that with another stage concept the three would have done so much better.

It would be fitting right!

Lol that final sentence just has me thinking about Rylan's bizarre comment tonight about being like Biology - I was like... Ummm, what???

 

[Leydan]

Yeah, but I fear we're homing in for the death slot or something.

 

[Himan]

I hope no one gets double zero's, but I'm really scared. I hope Ireland will give it some points or something.

The BBC always seem very theatrical and retro, while most other entries in modern times use more movement and lighting to create shifting scenes.

Yeah, it's funny because I kinda see where he was coming from there. It was funny to hear later on people messaging in telling Rylan that he was crazy for suggesting this.

I still believe that it will be a battle between and for the last place

I wouldn't say it's exactly 'beige', it's just the BBC and probably much of the UK doesn't seem interested in the kind of electro dance or ethno/dramatic ballads that most places define Eurovision by now.

 

[Ewigkeit]

First of all, don’t get mad at me, I like this song.

BUT… the performance…

 

[hijirio]

I just don’t see them cracking into top 10 in any country's televote, like there are too many competitive entries to vote for.

 

[GermanBango]

With that running order it‘s completely doomed.

 

[Himan]

I don't see our juries nor our televote vote for it. And I'm Dutch, so we are in your 'sphere' so to say. Probably the 4th or 5th most likely to give you points.

I want to compare it to O'gene, but it's just weak compared to them, so it makes sense it gets less televotes and less juries to like them. And if you want nice harmonies or something like that as a jury, you have to give the points to Latvia, cause that's way better and more interesting. I actually think the UK will get double 0's and it's awful.
