It's a hit! Olly's song is already playing in clubs. Olly is already a disco winner! For Olly, Eurovision is like promoting a new album. He doesn't even need victory!
I really like it, 5th place for me so far, but we have many strong entries this year, so it's gonna be tough. I feel The UK won't end up in the bottom 5, but not a winning song either. But fingers crossed. Maybe a top 10 finnish if performed really well.
I think until we see the performance. It’s hard to really know how it will do. Olly is a great performer and will bring vulnerability amd a professional element to it. Fingers crossed.
It's too linear, does not go to a different level. It's not a patch on 'Santify from the second Y&Y album' or 'King' from the their first album. I like Ollie, but unfortunately this is mediocre, yes Ollie is a great performer which should help ein some votes. But ultimately the song's not a great one.
I have seen Olly live a few times and in my opinion he can sing. He also has great stage presence. The studio cut is a bit safe and it is designed for the radio but is very well produced. My feeling is the live version will be arranged differently and will be a bit more Eurovision friendly. Longer notes, pauses etc
@@Vlad-vh4zkHe’s gotten far far better over the years. As long as he’s not going way over the top with his own personal choreography he’ll be more than fine.
United Kingdom can be lucky not to have to make it past the semi-finals The song is correct but has nothing transcendent, it is very repetitive, it is a fairly classic pop song The BBC needs to start understanding that you have to take more risks if you want to win Eurovision Good luck anyway
I don't feel this song immediately hits but after a few listens it's a bit of a earworm. The more I hear it the more I'm feeling it. Unfortunately on the night you get one shot at it and that may be the first time some voters might hear it and just won't get it. I think itsvgonna be a hit on the radio but not so much in the arena.
@@simondudley4679 100%. I don’t understand why they haven’t pushed for this, they basically fund it and it’s not exactly going to put anyone else at a disadvantage, if anything it levels the playing field.
I have similar thoughts, tbh UK let me down again. I just wanted them to send finally sth MEMORABLE and stop using safe card. This is a proper radio-friendly pop song, but it's not for Eurovision with its only 3 minutes to present yourself on the stage. Imo it's gonna end up somewhere in the bottom of the final, Olly's popularity might get them to around 18-22th place under the best of circumstances. Similar case to last year, sorry :(
I love the song I think only is a amazing performer .has a unique voice and.ive heard a few of the other countries and so far I think we stand a good chance of doing very well .
@@Catz-o1ztrue. Terry wogan eurovision commentator for uk made a joke of eurovision so it was always regarded as a joke by brits. Even in days when we did well. Its stuck graham norton replaced terry wogan also makes a joke of it. Its very amusing but im a eurovision superfan for 50 years .i love it
@@janeslater8004 yes exactly! And Wogan started this whole political voting stuff that people are still going on about now. He didn't do us any favours with that stuff even if the voting is a little predictable 😂 I beat you Jane, 53 years watching for me, I love how it's evolved but not all the social media fights and poor British attitude, Bucks Fizz never had to deal with all this. Enjoy the contest ❤🇬🇧🇬🇧❤
I feel like in a year full of crazy televote songs and girl bops this will stand out in a great way. Sam Ryder was very underwhelming at first but look what happened in Turin, I still have faith for a top 10
ts sweet and catchy, very hypnotic and pulsating..🧡💛💚💙💜. but... i miss a winning vocal highlight moment... but it ll be great to have him on stage, and he s there to have a god time... and we are all happy the UK are still part of the Eurovision family💙💛🧡
I’m not disappointed because this is the uk sending a great song… it’s not a winning song but who knows maybe the live performance will be amazing. For now I can see it getting a top 10 but with a great performance it can be top 5 I think
😊😊😊😊 You guys looking so divine and very respectful with the necklaces of the Star of David love it, thank you very much from israel 🫶, and yes I agree with every word, the song is really not going anywhere and the hype around it was terribly exaggerated!
I think most are missing the fact that this song is probably the best produced so far and it’s been purposely produced like that for the stage performance. This will elevate once people see the performance at the final. The other fact is this song will not connect with the Eurofans because it’s not Euro friendly enough. I predict top 10 for sure.
Very friendly radio song, reminds me so much of Pet Shop boys and I’m up for it as I’m a big fan of them, the 80’s sound is very in trend in Europe at the moment perhaps not as much in the UK and I do think knowing Olly as a performer he is going to do very well, he is a big fan of Eurovision and who knows, remember Sam Ryder, no one thought he could win, well he was so close, let’s be positive about our entry, I know Olly will give it all in Malmo, this won’t be a Mae Muller disaster
@@mariarucci78 well as I fan of Pet Shop boys who were amazing at Glastonbury in 2022, I’m not complaining, just love that style of music but I understand is not for everyone
You are right : the wow factor is missing, maybe the staging will elevate the song much more, I hope it for Olly. I found him amazing as an actor in 'it's a sin'. Hugs from Belgium ❤❤❤
It’s a song that sounds better on big speakers, it’s one of those. I’ve tried headphones and I’ve tried big speakers. Big speakers elevate it, so I expect it’ll sound even better in Sweden. But either way he’ll put on a show, I have complete faith! The staging will be amazing, I’m expecting maybe a slight remix. He’ll be looking at people’s comments and feedback I’m sure, he’s a huge fan of Eurovision. There’ll be some slight changes imo which will give it more gravitas.
Well that's a shocker.....NOT!!!! I could have predicted your reaction weeks ago...... Cheer up Toy ......I know, no extended dance break....how dare he !!!! Anyway I love it. It's catchy , and I am sure as a competent established artist it will be performed /staged very well. So,as a PROUD Brit (hint,hint!!!) I wish Olly good luck and just enjoy this experience at the wonderful ESC24. A smidgen of positivity and who knows just what might happen.......
This is the kind of song that i keep coming back to, to make sense of it (ie it’s not a songbi write off from the start) and i have to say the more i listen to it the more i like it. It’s defo high quality production and they have to elevate it on the stage to get the best result. Could be top 15, even top 10 ❤
From uk I did expected something something more especially from olly Alexander that know how to put it on a song that becomes viral on the web, 4 example ( king ), this one looks like :-“ ow yeah I did my homework that’s it “ just fine, and in little bit disappointed because Uk did a great job at the EVISION in the last years ( spaceman Sam Ryder ) just for say a name
Think Ireland might do ok this year if they qualify,,at least its a bit different and a bit of a risk,,the UK entry sounds like a cross between Steps and the Pet shop Boys.....really disappointed as like Olly..😔
The thing is if you listen to a lot of the hits today they are of this style. They don’t have a huge moment. It’s very contemporary. This is all about the live performance. As you said you didn’t enjoy Space Man until the live performance this is very much the case with this. Where as I Wrote A Song was very much a studio song and flopped live.
Alas I think the UK is probably going to find itself in the bottom 5 again unless Olly can bring something extra special to the staging to elevate the song. It's not a bad song but it just doesn't build or go anywhere.
After listening to it a couple of times you won't be able to get that chorus out of your head. - So, don't listen to it again. Heed my warning. 😉- They went safe with a PSB medley to hopefully avoid a bad result. Not sure they will though.
It starts off on a certain level but stays on that level till the end. I was waiting for the "BOOM" moment which didn't happen. I think in the Grand Final voting it will start reasonably somewhere in the middle but as the votes come in, it will slowly drop sadly into the bottom five & end up battling with Germany for 2nd to last place. I'd love to be wrong.
Honestly I think it’s getting a revamp with what he said when questioned about the staging. I really think he could have the best staging because Olly knows how to put on a show. Not a winner but I really don’t think it’ll be at the bottom either.
It's too linear, does not go to a different level. It's not a patch on 'Santify from the second Y&Y album' or 'King' from their first album. I like Ollie, but unfortunately this is mediocre, yes Ollie is a great performer which should help get some votes. But ultimately the song's not a great one.
I totally agree with everything you see. It ia an okay song but just a bit too flat and just "regular". No surprises. This is going to be the most competitive contest in a good few years, alas, the UK will be lucky to be the left side of the board...jury votes be ok, televote not so much so.
I agree wholeheartedly with what you both said. I think it's very average song and will probably just be an average result. UK could do soooo much better, thought they would have stepped up this year. Other countries songs are sooo much more creative and have more emotion with language that I don't even understand and I love other countries songs more for this year's Eurovision. I'm from UK and I am disappointed again. There's always next year 😊❤
I agree with Toy, I'm also a bit disappointed. Even though I didn't know Olly until now, there was such a hype about him that I really expected something more. Plus it's a big name, Olly's a star, he's representing England which are finals assured, so it really should be something more risky and authentic. But then again, I'm glad that Olly went to the ESC himself voluntarily and gladly. He was looking forward to it so I don’t want to be too critical of him. He is a big boost for England and hopefully there will be more talented young people who will be happy to go to Eurovision in the future inspired by Olly. I think he will finish in top 15 at the best but definitely not the last. Good luck Olly🤞
@@Catz-o1z It depends on how he does. But they had better come up with better staging for him than those dull colours in that video. He deserves better.
@@ar50000 yes absolutely agree, it was in response to the person who said that young talent would be inspired by Olly to enter Eurovision. I'm just seeing so much negativity towards a well known musician that I think they would run a mile! But then again the pressure and expectation on him is huge. I absolutely love the song myself, video is mesmerising but not really sure what it's supposed to represent, fingers crossed for a revised edition for Eurovision like Sam Ryder did.
Siete molto critici con voi stessi e ciò che che inviate. Olly non è sicuramente Sam Rayder quando ho sentito Sam nel 2022, mi ha catturato subito sapevo che andava forte, l ho adorato subito! io la mettevo sempre in top 5 ed è andato oltre! E sicuramente se non era per l Ukraina era lui '"il vincitore assoluto" Olly non mi cattura allo stesso modo ma una cosa è certa Olly sa cantare! io mi arrabbio quando passano cani e porci, il cantante è una professione seria e mi storto quando vedo inviare cantanti dalle dubbie capacità canore che spopolano solo per un ritornello che entra in testa ma non c è sostanza neu testi nella voce nelle composizioni musicali e arrivano alti.. In nome della musica mi chiedo che competizione strana.. UK dovrebbe essere più alto di quei 4 0 5 senza fare nomi. l anno scorso ero molto sbalordita per la Spagna e Paloma voti ingiusti e non comprensibili 😡e solo un mio pensiero buona fortuna! 👍
it’s giving me Snap by Rosa Linn vibes, I mean it looks a very radio friendly song, that is going to do very well in the radio and you would listen to it a lot while you’re driving for example, but that in eurovision it’s not going anywhere… btw idk why but i really like it, i think that talking about the production this song is one of the best this year
@@ar50000 Cut Bejba part and we have a deal! ;) But yeah now we can say that polish and british eurovision universum crossed when Olly was performing in The Voice of Poland and Szpak was a coach 🤣
I liked it - but I think they could cut out the humping bit and just move to the dancing in the auditorium... It was a good start (despite the sleazy public toilet in space!) - but I think it may alienate some people. I think the walls should fall down and then it goes into the auditorium much quicker - with all the lasers / fireworks! It just makes it more party-ish!
Have you seen his performance on ant and Dec Saturday night takeaway im proud of the uk song olly will be amazing and im sure he will have have amazing stageing plus he will be amazing at the Eurovision pre partys im proud of the uk song its definitely not the worst song in the Eurovision contest.
Pleasant song but not amazing enough, a bit repetitive and generic. There are stronger entries, by far moooore interesting. Sorry, 20 to 30th place to my point of view.
I know one, Arcade by Duncan Laurence in 2019….. I believe they both HATED that song to bits and pieces and found it extremely boring and blah…. And it ended up winning, but okay. I remember that from their reaction to the Dutch entry the next year, or the year after I believe, because you know, 2020…🤷🏻♀️ But I’m interested to see what they themselves have to say on this. Good question.
Hahaha, we have accepted that the songs we enjoy never do well!! All the ones we dislike always do well! But, we are here for the shows and the unrivalled excitement of ESC!
honestly, I didn't know anything about Olly, so I had to listen to Y&Y, watch It's A Sin, and even got some of that hype. But after the song was released, I was shocked as I felt nothing (not even confusion or hate, just nothing) for the 1st time. Now the song has progressed on me a little and often appears in my head, so I think the problem is that it was overhyped from the beginning and it made me wait for something epic and unbelievable to replace my top-5 at least, but appeared to be general good and save song. However, it goes much better with music video, so maybe with good staging and due to Olly's fanbase UK will be high enough.
Actually I do agree 100% ! I had higher expectations from Oli ? But the song did not deliver that ! It like same same melody from start to end ? It is song when you lessen one time you don’t want to lessen anymore ! For me is little disappointing ? I think Oli could do much better ! Thank you 🇵🇱
@@ToyAndGoy I don't know if he's been dieting or going the gym or he's been diagnosed with something. I made the comment out of concern more than anything. No malice intended.
Not going to be my favorite anyways, but I think he will move a lot on stage and perform really well. The song is not vocally demanding and that is on purpose, so he can move on stage. A lot.
For me personally, this song is a hit of this Eurovision. I've listened to this song 100 times already. Yes, in a live performance there are problems with vocals. But the song itself is just great. 12 points from Ukraine.
I put this in the same vein of Iru's "Echo" from Georgia 🇬🇪 last year...starts at a level of voice that is very good, but doesn't crescendo or go anywhere. Sooo...Germany has a chance to not be last place now, because I actually like Issak's song better now.
It's a nice song, not 'wow that's a winner' vibe but a sweet nice song, I enjoy it when it's playing, but it's not like: I gonna listen to it again and again and again
Totally agree with you both. Olly says they have a few mixes of this track. The verses are non existent, no story or build. The staging will be the video set on stage with four blokes dancing.
I love Olly but to be fair I just disappointed with this song. Something is missing on track but Idk what it is.. maybe, the chorus needs some revamp ?
You said it , you got it wrong with Sam Ryder, so you both may eat youre words again here Ollies song is a grower and after listening to it a few times im HOOKED on it. Btw i cant beleive two gays that didnt like "Its a Sin" ..you are both unique to say the least !
Good production, lovely voice, but the song is so flat and one dimension. Needs a better bridge, build up. Bit boring to be honest. Something I'd expect Ireland to bring out.
Let us know what you thought about United Kingdom entry for Eurovision 2024.
VOTE FOR YOUR EUROVISION WINNER: urlz.fr/q7q2
I like it. I don't feel disappointed like others. Not the winner, but I'm happy to see Olly on the Eurovision stage.
It's a hit! Olly's song is already playing in clubs. Olly is already a disco winner! For Olly, Eurovision is like promoting a new album. He doesn't even need victory!
it is not a hit lol

I think until we see the performance. It’s hard to really know how it will do. Olly is a great performer and will bring vulnerability amd a professional element to it. Fingers crossed.
You're kind of implying the studio cut is not that great.
Is that what you mean?
It's too linear, does not go to a different level. It's not a patch on 'Santify from the second Y&Y album' or 'King' from the their first album. I like Ollie, but unfortunately this is mediocre, yes Ollie is a great performer which should help ein some votes. But ultimately the song's not a great one.

The song need revamp for Eurovision! It’s a good song but need something more ! Good luck
United Kingdom can be lucky not to have to make it past the semi-finals
The song is correct but has nothing transcendent, it is very repetitive, it is a fairly classic pop song
The BBC needs to start understanding that you have to take more risks if you want to win Eurovision
Good luck anyway
Maybe they don't want to win it?
UK automatically qualifies but I dislike the singer and his song anyway
I cannot agree with you more. This song is very average. And it hurts because I love Years&Years ' songs.
oddly, I think it's very similar to Germanys entry: safe, well produced, radio-friendly, inoffensive - and mediocre

@@ar50000 yes absolutely agree, it was in response to the person who said that young talent would be inspired by Olly to enter Eurovision. I'm just seeing so much negativity towards a well known musician that I think they would run a mile! But then again the pressure and expectation on him is huge. I absolutely love the song myself, video is mesmerising but not really sure what it's supposed to represent, fingers crossed for a revised edition for Eurovision like Sam Ryder did.
Eurovision isn't eurovision without you guys.
😘
I like it, but I don't feel it is a winning ESC song, it will chart though I'm sure, and I wish him the very best with this song.
Siete molto critici con voi stessi e ciò che che inviate. Olly non è sicuramente Sam Rayder quando ho sentito Sam nel 2022, mi ha catturato subito sapevo che andava forte, l ho adorato subito! io la mettevo sempre in top 5 ed è andato oltre! E sicuramente se non era per l Ukraina era lui '"il vincitore assoluto" Olly non mi cattura allo stesso modo ma una cosa è certa Olly sa cantare! io mi arrabbio quando passano cani e porci, il cantante è una professione seria e mi storto quando vedo inviare cantanti dalle dubbie capacità canore che spopolano solo per un ritornello che entra in testa ma non c è sostanza neu testi nella voce nelle composizioni musicali e arrivano alti.. In nome della musica mi chiedo che competizione strana.. UK dovrebbe essere più alto di quei 4 0 5 senza fare nomi. l anno scorso ero molto sbalordita per la Spagna e Paloma voti ingiusti e non comprensibili 😡e solo un mio pensiero buona fortuna! 👍
it’s giving me Snap by Rosa Linn vibes, I mean it looks a very radio friendly song, that is going to do very well in the radio and you would listen to it a lot while you’re driving for example, but that in eurovision it’s not going anywhere… btw idk why but i really like it, i think that talking about the production this song is one of the best this year
the problem with olly's fanbase is: they're almost exclusively in britain
A what? Poland loves Olly and Years&Years 🤩
@@ann.juliee Really? Eurovision 2025: Blanka and Olly duet as the Polish representatives?!
@@ar50000 Cut Bejba part and we have a deal! ;) But yeah now we can say that polish and british eurovision universum crossed when Olly was performing in The Voice of Poland and Szpak was a coach 🤣
Next year uk should bring at the Eurovision Dua Lipa or Rita Ora with her collaboration with tezenis or Primark and dozens of ADVS hahahahahs 😂😂😂😂😂
תשמעו את השיר עם אוזניות זה פשוט פצצה של צלילים לתוך האוזן,מה יש לכם שיר מושלם מגיע לו טופ 5 אצלי הוא מקום ראשון וצריך לזכות
I like the song and will probably listen to it on my phone, but I agree that on the Eurovision stage it might get lost.
I liked it - but I think they could cut out the humping bit and just move to the dancing in the auditorium... It was a good start (despite the sleazy public toilet in space!) - but I think it may alienate some people. I think the walls should fall down and then it goes into the auditorium much quicker - with all the lasers / fireworks! It just makes it more party-ish!
Have you seen his performance on ant and Dec Saturday night takeaway im proud of the uk song olly will be amazing and im sure he will have have amazing stageing plus he will be amazing at the Eurovision pre partys im proud of the uk song its definitely not the worst song in the Eurovision contest.
THEY KNEW
Pleasant song but not amazing enough, a bit repetitive and generic. There are stronger entries, by far moooore interesting. Sorry, 20 to 30th place to my point of view.
hahah at your postman
Im interested which songs made you very angry in the past and did well on eurovision.. if you don‘t mind answering 😊
I know one, Arcade by Duncan Laurence in 2019…..
I believe they both HATED that song to bits and pieces and found it extremely boring and blah….
And it ended up winning, but okay.
I remember that from their reaction to the Dutch entry the next year, or the year after I believe, because you know, 2020…🤷🏻♀️
But I’m interested to see what they themselves have to say on this.
Good question.
Hahaha, we have accepted that the songs we enjoy never do well!! All the ones we dislike always do well! But, we are here for the shows and the unrivalled excitement of ESC!
A good example is In Corporo Sano from 2 years ago
Had high expectations but Im dissapointed. For me not standing out in any way😔
Surprise....Toy doesn't like the UK entry. We know what the reaction to Istael will be, if they get there...
Goy didn't like it either...
honestly, I didn't know anything about Olly, so I had to listen to Y&Y, watch It's A Sin, and even got some of that hype. But after the song was released, I was shocked as I felt nothing (not even confusion or hate, just nothing) for the 1st time. Now the song has progressed on me a little and often appears in my head, so I think the problem is that it was overhyped from the beginning and it made me wait for something epic and unbelievable to replace my top-5 at least, but appeared to be general good and save song. However, it goes much better with music video, so maybe with good staging and due to Olly's fanbase UK will be high enough.
Actually I do agree 100% ! I had higher expectations from Oli ? But the song did not deliver that ! It like same same melody from start to end ? It is song when you lessen one time you don’t want to lessen anymore ! For me is little disappointing ? I think Oli could do much better ! Thank you 🇵🇱
"Don't say let's do th is !You know like who we Sound like!
It's a bit safe to be honest.. it won't win but deserves top 15
The song is OK, but we need a huge stage performance to pull this one off!
Not been around for a couple of years. Goy has lost loads of weight! Compared to one of your videos from 2 years ago
Miaow.
@@ar50000 Not being catty or bitchy, just shocked.
Ooh, thank you! I really have! I see those old videos and just think 😱
@ar50000 he's 1000% right though, whatever tone you read it in!! 🤣
@@ToyAndGoy I don't know if he's been dieting or going the gym or he's been diagnosed with something. I made the comment out of concern more than anything. No malice intended.
Not going to be my favorite anyways, but I think he will move a lot on stage and perform really well. The song is not vocally demanding and that is on purpose, so he can move on stage. A lot.
For me personally, this song is a hit of this Eurovision. I've listened to this song 100 times already. Yes, in a live performance there are problems with vocals. But the song itself is just great. 12 points from Ukraine.
I put this in the same vein of Iru's "Echo" from Georgia 🇬🇪 last year...starts at a level of voice that is very good, but doesn't crescendo or go anywhere.
Sooo...Germany has a chance to not be last place now, because I actually like Issak's song better now.
Toyyyy-Goyyyyy- COVER ANNALISA SANREMO ....PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE❤❤
It's a nice song, not 'wow that's a winner' vibe but a sweet nice song, I enjoy it when it's playing, but it's not like: I gonna listen to it again and again and again
youre right. thats what i thought too
Totally agree with you both. Olly says they have a few mixes of this track. The verses are non existent, no story or build. The staging will be the video set on stage with four blokes dancing.
So delighted you like my comment!!! Made my day!!
Oooh, you sweetie!! 😘
It needs oomf
I love Olly but to be fair I just disappointed with this song. Something is missing on track but Idk what it is.. maybe, the chorus needs some revamp ?
It was nice but even if he performs well it's going to get lost this year.
I feel like it's too repetitive with the chours. It need more lyrics in the verbs and switch one chours with a verb.
It will create drama
love ur honest reaction guys!! i agree this song is radio-friendly but sadly not great for Eurovision... like u said its just mediocre.
Lift music but I´d hate for the lift to break down
🤣
Good song!
Please, UK, send Sam Smith. 😂😂
You said it , you got it wrong with Sam Ryder, so you both may eat youre words again here Ollies song is a grower and after listening to it a few times im HOOKED on it.
Btw i cant beleive two gays that didnt like "Its a Sin" ..you are both unique to say the least !
If it was in the semifinal this would be a NQ
Good production, lovely voice, but the song is so flat and one dimension. Needs a better bridge, build up. Bit boring to be honest. Something I'd expect Ireland to bring out.
Ps the stage performance is expected to be good so I've heard.
