Please choose her! The lyrics are Amazing and with a great message! After winning EYD a revamp like Lucie will Make shine the song in may, good luck from spain🇪🇸
I wanted Legends to win before the live performance but SuRie gave this song so much life on stage it was a deserved winner on the night. Lots of positives. It's catchy, it has a positive message, it's fun, it's uplifting. SuRie looked very stylish but also managed to come across as endearing. Her movements with the song felt natural on stage. Her voice was competent, great in places, though the opening needs to be stronger and there was one note that didn't quite fly. I'm sure she can improve on that though. The main improvements would be: 1) amplify the chorus. Lucie had a great revamp to her song last year that made it even more emotional and engaging; so a lesson can be learnt there. 2) staging. Something more. I'd really like to see a dancer/dancers on the stage. The BBC has sometimes treated the production too much like a music concert when ESC is also, and primarily, a TV show. I can imagine dancers that convey the storm in the first part of the song and then coming to life in the final chorus. Fireworks at the end. Be bold. Joe and Jake rocked the hell out of their song but the staging appeared so limited and threadbare (I'm sure the drum kits, tshirts and haircuts were expensive but nothing about the staging said "wow"). By contrast, Lucie had an incredible production team behind her last year: her dress, her hair, her make-up, the fan-like mirrors of gold. Very memorable. SuRie deserves the same and more. A textured stage performance with good use of camera angles. No LED screens in Lisbon will do well for SuRie if the team behind offer the TV audience an impressive staging. Good luck SuRie!
UK 2017: "Just give me your hand and hold on Together we’ll dance through this storm" UK 2018: "We can hold our hands together Through this storm, through this storm" I hope storms will end next year...
Good luck to our brothers and sisters in the UK from the USA! ❤ Honestly, I wasn't that big of a fan of this song at first, but after a few listens, I'm on board! Hello from New England! 🇬🇧🇺🇸
One of my favs when the songs were released, I was leaning more towards Asande I'll be honest. But after SuRie sang the song live my god goosebumps on goosebumps. It had everything emotion, it was catchy, her voice was beautiful, mesmerising it involved the audience. I can't understand how some people are being negative. Yes Asande was the favourite to win but unfortunately the live performance was not great, it just wasn't strong enough. Now Storm was amazing from the get go it was magical and the true winner. Go go SuRie you will be great in May and I'm proud your representing my country 😀😀
Well done SuRie you were my fav and didn’t think you’d win when seen Asanda was the favourite. But you smashed it live. Think this song would be good with screens in the background with a ‘mother/father and child, ‘brother’ &sister’ as each family name is mentioned....storm/thunder for chorus. Big up on the claps with the backing singers, lots of lights...then near end (spread your love....) drum on stage would be good for that bit. With the right staging this song will stand out even more . How anyone can say this song is forgettable is beyond me it is stuck in my head it is so catchy. Good luck SuRie ignore the haters many are behind you for the UK!!
Read some negative coments on the Eurofan pages but I don't care. How can they complain about this when we sent Electro Velvet. This is a massive improvement. Lucie was wonderful but I like this a lot.
One of my faves, also together with Raya's "Crazy" and Asanda's "Legends" one of the acts in EYD this year I'd love to see it at Eurovision. I enjoy the song much, it's fantastic and I love it. Team SuRie! ❤️
Jonathan Hodgson Well they were Romanian so their English lyrics aren’t gonna be that good. This song doesn’t have a good hook either. You must have bad taste in music.
Congratulations to SuRie - as I said on my last post. "Storm" is the best and most suitable choice for Lisbon. By the way - all the contestants on "You decide" did a great job...
I listend to all the UK contestants yesterday. First of all: All of the songs are pretty good. My favourite so far was Asanda. Tonight i woke up to a melody which got "stuck" in my head. It took me a while to realize that this was "Storm". And damn it - i can't get the song out of my head. And that is probably a good sign for a ESC entry. It has to "capture" people in a subconscious way. For non native English speakers the lyrics are of no significant importance.
Genuine contender. She just needs a massive dance troupe to run on dressed in a mash up of rainbows + all the different European flags and it's a dead cert! 😙
This would be my choice, hands down. It's vibrant, contemporary and has a universal feel, as though you could go anywhere in Europe and hear this playing. It's also the only one that I could remember after hearing it.
WHen hearing teh songs at first i wanted Asanda too but when it was performed live i thought this will not do well at all this song though was the best along with jazz elington imo however i do find this sometimes the lyrics can be a bit anticlimatic like were missing afew sentences if that makes sense .. i dont think we will win but i do think we will do well?
Hey, hey brother Do you remember when we were kids with no fear? Hey, hey sister Do you believe in the things we dreamt we’d discover? I still have faith I still believe in chasing rainbows Storms don’t last forever, forever, remember We can hold our hands together Through this storm, through this storm Storms don’t last forever, forever, remember We can hold our hands together Through this storm, through this storm Hey, hey mother Am I making you proud or could I do better? Hey, hey father There’s weight on my shoulders but it’s not over I still have faith I still believe in chasing rainbows Storms don’t last forever, forever, remember We can hold our hands together Through this storm, through this storm Storms don’t last forever, forever, remember We can hold our hands together Through this storm, through this storm Spread your love, give all you got Hold your head up, don’t give up, no no Hey, hey brother, don’t give up, oh woah woah Storms don’t last forever, forever, remember We can hold our hands together Through this storm, through this storm Spread your love, give all you got Hold your head up, don’t give up, no no Spread your love, give all you got Hold your head up, through this storm By: 😊😉D@Ng€rOu$ in Love 😀😜
Please choose her! The lyrics are Amazing and with a great message! After winning EYD a revamp like Lucie will Make shine the song in may, good luck from spain🇪🇸
Raúl Castee thank you very much
This was better than the version in the final...
Best UK entry for years! This is great and she sang even better live than in the studio version! Deserved to win! Good luck UK! Good luck SuRie!

lm here 3years later to remind myself of this beautiful song
Beautiful 😂😂😂😂😂
If the lyric "I still believe in chasing rainbows" doesn't sum up modern Eurovision, I don't know what does.
Samuel Coffey Riiiiiiiiiiight?!!
You know this is too Eurovision sounding for it to do well? UK public never learns
too right!!!!
This is great , I hope it wins on the 7th. The song reminds me of Emmelie de Forest. This is our best song since 1997. Good luck SuRie.
Jackie Negus thank you Jackie 🙏
Nothing like her
It isn't better than 1997
People mentioning cliches like that hasn't stopped songs from being amazing... Katy Perry, Rachel Platten are just two artists who come to mind.
You sang this at epsom primary school for a kid that died i cried all the wAy and thank you for that
Our best song in Eurovision for years... Definately a strong contender to win.!!! #uk
Come on!! Win it for the UK! You can do it SuRie!!!
I hold my hands up, before the show did not think it had a prayer but the live performance was great.
UK2019.
I love this song she has a powerful voice
Thanks so much, Sean
You are welcome
Dammit I can't stop thinking about this song, it's stuck in my head already.
Sorry not Sorry! SuRie not SuRie!!
Remember
Shogun I love it just listened to it damn good song
UK 2017: "Just give me your hand and hold on
Together we’ll dance through this storm"
UK 2018: "We can hold our hands together
Through this storm, through this storm"
I hope storms will end next year...
story m lmAo
😂🤙
Storms never end in the UK
I guess storm goes to Estonia this year😂
And then victor Crone came in 2019 😂
Good luck to our brothers and sisters in the UK from the USA! ❤
Honestly, I wasn't that big of a fan of this song at first, but after a few listens, I'm on board!
Hello from New England! 🇬🇧🇺🇸
I am so in love with this song. UK finally have a chance to win
One of my favs when the songs were released, I was leaning more towards Asande I'll be honest. But after SuRie sang the song live my god goosebumps on goosebumps.

Go go SuRie you will be great in May and I'm proud your representing my country 😀😀
I love that, that is my winner. Greetings from Poland, loooove
This song is probably the best song of 2018!!!!!I absolutely love it !! good luck suRie
I love the vocal flourishes
Been sure Asanda would walk it all week, but this song was the first thing in my head this morning...
Adam Collins aaahhhhh ear worms!! 👊
I like this. Good song. Congrats. from Spain🇪🇸
Much better than the current version
We love you Surie you deserve more come back to eurovision you are the BEST
Well done SuRie you were my fav and didn’t think you’d win when seen Asanda was the favourite. But you smashed it live.

Good luck SuRie ignore the haters many are behind you for the UK!!
She deserves to win
Best british eurovision song I've heard in years. She looks like a young Annie Lennox, sounds a bit like her as well.
This is the winner for UKs eurovision 2018 as it gets you involved within the song Its all about family as well . Good luck in brighton
DAVID PYPER thanks so much David!
You were right Dave!
My lovely horse running through the field...
Thelostsubrosian Sorry mate, that's the Irish entry.
Wrong country.
With you fetlocks blowing ,,,,,,, love it well said bro haha
Ireland haven't picked yet mate
This song should go to Eurovision, I love it. Greetings from Spain ❤
Good live performance by SuRie
I like it but it needs some changes. Mire beats, stonger chorus...stronger ending....
Good luck lovely UK
maybe new song and singer would help!
they deliberately don't add these bits in because we don't want to host it. it costs a fortune
it got them and it sounds worse now
I lovely UK! I am argentin
Read some negative coments on the Eurofan pages but I don't care. How can they complain about this when we sent Electro Velvet. This is a massive improvement. Lucie was wonderful but I like this a lot.

Team SuRie! ❤️
It's practically just a mix of Avicii lyrics and music etc.
The Tea Boyz one helluva compliment 👌
I'm also getting Clean Bandit vibes
yeah i get you
Don’t disrespect Avicii like that
RIP
My winner, of course, but it needs a revamp
AMANDA A.S she needs a stronger chorus and a better ending!! The Verses of this one are amongst the best of this season
Agree!
It makes me happy that you like the verses too!
I really like it, it will sound different live.
Boring and Dull We should choose funky Raya
My friends sister died to day we're useing it for a memorial thank you 😥
I really like it because we sang it as a school and she went my school and we sang it for this liitle girl Isabelle who died
She won!! GOOD job uk!

SuRie official OMG I CANT WAIT, I LOVE THE SONG SO MUCH.
Congratulations Surie! Best of luck in Lisbon. Give it everything 😗
It's so upbeat, what it should be about, it's a great song.
By far the best of the six entries tonight on BBC2
Congratulations to SuRie - as I said on my last post. "Storm" is the best and most suitable choice for Lisbon. By the way - all the contestants on "You decide" did a great job...
actually really like this
WHAT this is aweesomme!🔥UK go!

SuRie official 666666666666
dan292009 Strong? You must be deaf.
Finn P pardon?
I missed a song like this in a long time
This Song make me cry... I love It
Absolutely ❤️ this song 👍
Stunning. This could do very well in Lisbon, but I agree that the chorus needs to be more dramatic. Well done SuRie.
Me encanta este tema para representar al Reino Unido. Good luck from Spain.
I listend to all the UK contestants yesterday. First of all: All of the songs are pretty good. My favourite so far was Asanda. Tonight i woke up to a melody which got "stuck" in my head.

It has to "capture" people in a subconscious way. For non native English speakers the lyrics are of no significant importance.
Definitely the best
YCiv san Togru thanks so much!
So emotional. I hope u'll win.
We'll be taking Eurovision by STORM! :D
Genuine contender. She just needs a massive dance troupe to run on dressed in a mash up of rainbows + all the different European flags and it's a dead cert! 😙
BolgTheVillan omfg I'm living r this idea
Winning song amazing congratulations SuRie
Such a motivational song that really represents our nation!
This would be my choice, hands down. It's vibrant, contemporary and has a universal feel, as though you could go anywhere in Europe and hear this playing. It's also the only one that I could remember after hearing it.
JP Haggerty amazing JP, thanks so much for your support!
Personally I wanted Asanda to win but this song was much better live than it is in this audio.
Alican 3 100% agree
Where to find live performance? Do you have link?
th-cam.com/video/xLGEx2x8xoo/w-d-xo.html
WHen hearing teh songs at first i wanted Asanda too but when it was performed live i thought this will not do well at all this song though was the best along with jazz elington imo however i do find this sometimes the lyrics can be a bit anticlimatic like were missing afew sentences if that makes sense .. i dont think we will win but i do think we will do well?
We're gonna finish like 25th again, fact.
Love it!!
Quite a nice song really. Well Done..
She can sing up a storm!
She will do us proud. The song is a real ear worm. 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Ladies and Gentlemen your 2018 UK Eurovision entry
LOVE THIS SONG AND SURIE
Good song, love it!
I love song
I was right, i picked this song to win in Brighton. Now lets hope the rest of europe thinks the same and gives it 12pts.
YEs! My fav ! Well done UK
GREAT WINNER ! 12 pts to UK from non competing country Slovakia xD
(I'm so happy that I could watch it on BBC 2 :D)
She wins!! congratulations :)
Nice but the chorus needs to be bigger, much bigger!
wessexmatt yes!! Need to hit a bigger drop too. Like the Scandinavian songs do in the charts
DazzlingGreenEyes Raya was better
Yeah, it's lacking dynamism when the hooky chorus bit comes in. It just kinda plods when it ought to arrive.
This is your best option UK!!!
This was written by THREE PEOPLE? Between them, they managed to rhyme forever and together. Wow.
Surprised this won to be our song for Eurovision. Let's hope it does better than I think it will.
Hey, hey brother
Do you remember when we were kids with no fear?
Hey, hey sister
Do you believe in the things we dreamt we’d discover?
I still have faith
I still believe in chasing rainbows
Storms don’t last forever, forever, remember
We can hold our hands together
Through this storm, through this storm
Storms don’t last forever, forever, remember
We can hold our hands together
Through this storm, through this storm
Hey, hey mother
Am I making you proud or could I do better?
Hey, hey father
There’s weight on my shoulders but it’s not over
I still have faith
I still believe in chasing rainbows
Storms don’t last forever, forever, remember
We can hold our hands together
Through this storm, through this storm
Storms don’t last forever, forever, remember
We can hold our hands together
Through this storm, through this storm
Spread your love, give all you got
Hold your head up, don’t give up, no no
Hey, hey brother, don’t give up, oh woah woah
Storms don’t last forever, forever, remember
We can hold our hands together
Through this storm, through this storm
Spread your love, give all you got
Hold your head up, don’t give up, no no
Spread your love, give all you got
Hold your head up, through this storm
By: 😊😉D@Ng€rOu$ in Love 😀😜
She's the winner 2018
