gr-6bmiMlys

s847b0ZaQqk

LrU_jeNBb_k

lVjG7nwBoN0

z9L-nWgTN9s

sJjVSfSFk14

Which one is your favourite based off first impressions? For me it's Kerrie-Anne, not keen on any of the others except for maybe Michael but that comes nowhere near close to Kerrie-Anne's song.

[Nicky91]

i'm not watching the show (i have more favourites in the voice of holland than here so not difficult for me to choose between this and the voice) :idc:


but i think it might go between Michael and Kerrie for the public

[Headie]

1. Kerrie-Anne
*BIG GAP*
2. Michael Rice
*BIGGER GAP*
3. Anisa
4. Holly Tandy
*BIGGEST GAP*
5. Jordan Clarke
6. MAID

[Nicky91]

yeah but remember last year, you stanned asanda, and she didn't do well live so praying for kerrie now she can slay her song live

jury will decide first who wins the duels, and then the top 3 winners of each duel the public can vote for apparently

[Morgan.]

Holly Tandy :love:

[Nicky91]

Holly Tandy :love:

she has no chance against Michael, an x factor reject vs a talent show winner duh

[Black Dagger]

Kerri but it's more of the same genericness.

[Nicky91]

Kerri but it's more of the same genericness.

uk only has generic music anyway :D

Says the person who is from a country that just sends the most basic country songs. Off you bore

[Nicky91]

Says the person who is from a country that just sends the most basic country songs. Off you bore

we aren't doing that this year though :flutter: finally i am supporting my own country

[Wizard.]

Like how there’s less songs and more artists to choose from

[Babayaro.]

Dire.

[Nicky91]

Like how there’s less songs and more artists to choose from

it doesn't really matter since UK is gonna come near last anyway as usual :laugh3: :laugh3:


but UK must keep participating in eurovision since they bring in the funds for EBU

[Braden]

Jesus Christ, these are ****e.

[BBUK-Fan]

No wonder we lose because they put this crap as a our potential representatives

[_Tom_]

Kerrie-Anne with THE bop :clap1:

[andybigbro]

Don’t really get a Eurovision vibe from them.
Freaks probably more so and I prefer the girl groups version.

Kerrie-Annes video won’t play for me :shrug:

[RileyH]

Omg Holly LEGEND we want her!

[Black Dagger]

Don’t really get a Eurovision vibe from them.
Freaks probably more so and I prefer the girl groups version.

Kerrie-Annes video won’t play for me :shrug:

What is a Eurovision vibe? There isn't a typical sound anymore and that's why we struggle because we try for something that sounds Eurovision instead of trying to have a unique sound.

[Shaun]

1) Kerrie-Anne
2) Holly
3) Michael
4) Jordan
5) Anisa
6) MAID

Holly and Michael would have about the same chance as each other, but Kerrie-Anne's is the only song I'd listen to out of choice.

[Braden]

What is a Eurovision vibe? There isn't a typical sound anymore and that's why we struggle because we try for something that sounds Eurovision instead of trying to have a unique sound.

I think it's the complete opposite. We try too hard to find generic pop stars that would compete in today's music industry, but end up with the dregs (with all due respect) that desperately need to use this as a platform to launch their careers.

There's nothing special or unique about these songs, and all of these performers seem to fit a mould of what BBC thinks young/trendy people would like. Every act that wins Eurovision has something special and unique about them that the BBC is tone deaf to. Like, every single You Decide entry could be moulded into one competition and they'd still all be missing the mark of what eurovision is about. Fun and uniqueness. We just have no idea anymore and try to take it too seriously. Eurovision has evolved with time but its criteria of what makes a good entry still remains.

[ethanjames]

kerrie :love:

[Headie]

Apparently the jury picks one of each song to go through to the final round and then the public vote which of the three they want to represent the UK.

In other words we're gonna end up with Jordan's version of Freaks.

[Firewire]

I think Holly would give us the best chance but Kerrie-Anne's is the best song

[Headie]

Kerrie-Annes video won’t play for me :shrug:

Mess they re-uploaded it because they called her Kellie-Ann instead of Kerrie-Anne :skull:

[Greg!]

I cannot get over how good Kerrie's song is omg!

[Greg!]

This is true, especially on singing shows.

2014, 16 and 17 winners clearly don't agree lol.

There isn't a formula anymore for Eurovision.

[Shaun]

The jury decides which Sweet Lies makes it to the public vote?

Me @ Anisa

[Greg!]

Just listening to some of the others now. Michael’s version of Bigger Than Us sounds like an X Factor winners single lol. Think that could win but hopefully miss Kerrie has it in the bag!

[Nicky91]

1088465070714167296

disgusting, if you think of Israel like that :yuk:


i do find it sad about the people suffering, but would it stop me from entering eurovision in Israel NO



The Tuts need career ending asap for this awful tweet :mad:

[Nicky91]

whoever goes for UK, i expect them to be bottom with 0 points anyway after all their moans and criticism :laugh3: :laugh3:


no one moans anymore now except some of those silly wannabe celebs from UK :fan:


there were moans from other countries before but that was more being against a contest in jerusalem, all of that drama ended when it was announced the contest to be held in tel aviv

[Black Dagger]

Do you ever get bored.

[Nicky91]

Do you ever get bored.

btw uk 2006 entry Daz Sampson is back at Belarus national final, they are doing a 1 from 360 national final what san marino did last year

bunch of amateurs in that panel :laugh3: :laugh3:

[Black Dagger]

Bore off.

[Strictly Jake]

I actually like all of the songs. But kerrie stands out for me. I actually think the one with the biggest chance would maybe be Jordan I just think other countries would like him and the song

[Nicky91]

no one would be good for UK cause no other country likes the UK at eurovision


we just want them to stay for the funds :laugh:

[Nicky91]

freaks is dull, lifeless, boring

bigger than us is outdated, boring

sweet lies is too generic


nothing here is as good as what Lucie had, who had a good result recently for UK :shrug:

[Crimson Dynamo]

i genuinely cant listen as I just know they all all be terrible

[Denver]

freaks is dull, lifeless, boring

bigger than us is outdated, boring

sweet lies is too generic


nothing here is as good as what Lucie had, who had a good result recently for UK :shrug:

The song was terrible and was made better by a fantastic singer

[Nicky91]

uk will go for michael rice, he's this years SuRie type of contestant while Kerrie Anne has a too modern song (like asanda had last year)


Michael rice also won all together now, and that same producer is producer here at you decide :D

[Greg!]

Perched for this!

[Nicky91]

Perched for this!

other esc fans are also watching you decide but mostly to see UK flop with making a wrong choice

[sleleen]

So excited!

[Nicky91]

what flop to vote for choices choices :laugh2:

[Liam-]

I’ve come to terms with the fact Michael will win, I want Kerri to win, but Jordan’s version of Freaks is my guilty pleasure

[Nicky91]

Kerrie's song is too modern, mainstream generic for eurovision :hehe:

[Black Dagger]

what flop to vote for choices choices :laugh2:

Shut up for once.

[Denver]

Fuego getting rec

[Greg!]

OMG Kerrie stanning Fuego :love:

[Greg!]

Not a great performance tbh :skull:

[Shaun]

Hard to gauge what an actual Eurovision live performance would look like with this shoddy stage we're expected to judge them on. I've seen nativities with better production :umm2: depressing how little the BBC care about this.

[Greg!]

This one is so boring omg...

[Beso]

She's ****e

[Beso]

Plucky enough to give it a go though so hats off.

[Beso]

First judge just lied

[Beso]

It was pish hen

[Beso]

Rylan....gay innuendo...bore off

[Beso]

Seriously...he's like a 1960s carry on character.

[Denver]

So that put the pitch one through

[Beso]

Oh my God.....


What...not another Essex trumpet fanatic.

[Wizard.]

Just send this tbh

GiOGlYjKgX8

[Denver]

Mess he is from the Luminites, we wanted Steph

[Shaun]

[Wizard.]

Jordan’s freaks is getting picked and tbh I wouldn’t be mad

[Denver]

He used to be fit now he looks old

[Beso]

I'm actually liking him.

[Shaun]

this is dreadful. Like something off of that Take That musical.

[Wizard.]

Omg they sound bad and Jordan’s version is better

[Wizard.]

Omg they sound bad and Jordan’s version is better

[RileyH]

Jordan's performance is my fav so far :p

[Shaun]

either way, Freaks is the worst song and does not deserve to go through

[Wizard.]

Maid broke the forum?

[Greg!]

The gals were awful :(

[Wizard.]

I really don’t like this song

[Greg!]

Just had a gut feeling holly could be a surprise winner

[Denver]

Why does Holly exist

[Shaun]

Holly's going to chin this boy, proper northern lass

[Denver]

Just because you have dancers in cowboy hats doesnt make it country dear

[Greg!]

The cowboy dancers :skull:

[Shaun]

not gonna lie... this one is kinda cute? it wouldn't do very well (none of them will, though) but it's nice.

[Greg!]

Yeah it’s nice but bland

[Greg!]

Why does she speak like a Tibb newbie

[RileyH]

Holly slayed :love: winner!

[Greg!]

Ah joost loov dolleh parton :p

[Denver]

Why are they all recent well known entry as their faves :skull:

[Shaun]

haha he doesn't know the name of the city who's hosting x

get in the ****ing bin

[Liam-]

That one cowboy campaigning for a Grindr advert

[Liam-]

There’s something very unlike able about this guy, keep it

[Wizard.]

He would stand out more than Holly

[Shaun]

There’s something very unlike able about this guy, keep it

think it's the suit from Next

[Denver]

Why cant we send a pretty boy for once

[Greg!]

Prefer Holly’s version lol

[Shaun]

they're both "fine" versions of the song I guess. Not mad who gets chosen but I prefer Holly's. He's won it, though.

[Liam-]

Why are we so intent on sending bland 2009 lead Westlife single songs idgi, we’re spoilt for choice with the Australian contenders and most of these I’d rather just not

[Greg!]

I’m the messy fast camera movements that keep happening

[Wizard.]

Why cant we send a pretty boy for once

If Michael looked like Shawn Mendez we might win

[Denver]

If Michael looked like Shawn Mendez we might win

But instead he looks like Phil Mitchells son

[RileyH]

Fumed

[Liam-]

I’m screaming at Marvin being a judge, he blatantly doesn’t give a ****

[Denver]

France is winning

[Denver]

Bulgaria are a massive loss

[Shaun]

no Bulgaria? keep it

[Wizard.]

Come on Kerrie-Ann!

[RileyH]

Jordan > Kerrie >>> Michael

[Greg!]

This is SUCH a bop I still can’t get over it

[Shaun]

better than her first performance :clap1: just tidy up the wardrobe and staging and it could be good.

[Denver]

no Bulgaria? keep it

Bitch why act surprised when you knew it

[Wizard.]

Why does he look like Jonathon Cheban

[Wizard.]

This is actually my favourite :skull: it’s so catchy

[Liam-]

Kerri-Ann needs to win this that’s a banger

[Denver]

This could stand out

[Denver]

Kerri-Ann needs to win this that’s a banger

But she cant sing

[Liam-]

But she cant sing

Brendan Murray

[Liam-]

This song is really bad and it would get close to nothing, but I really like it?

[Barry.]

I like Freaks, so catchy.

[Shaun]

it is basically Pachelbel's Canon in D (aka the wedding march) so just listen to that instead girls

[Wizard.]

Sweet Lies is the weakest song ngl

[Greg!]

Michael is going to win :(

[Wizard.]

Michael is going to win :(

We want Jordan

[Barry.]

Michael is going to win :(

He is good though.

[Shaun]

[Liam-]

Sweet Lies would bang on a big stage

[Liam-]

I must have missed something, what’s the joke about Belgium about?

[Shaun]

I must have missed something, what’s the joke about Belgium about?

Mans not being able to negotiate in Brussels? Brexit joke innit

[Greg!]

I must have missed something, what’s the joke about Belgium about?

[Liam-]

Mans not being able to negotiate in Brussels? Brexit joke innit

[Greg!]

[Amy Jade]

That should have been Eleni or Jessica Mauboy singing not that trash

[Denver]

Wow we love the 2018 winner

[Denver]

Slayed us again

[Mitchell]

This version of storm is better ffs

[RileyH]

All I could think about is when ha mic got snatched

[Liam-]

This version of storm is better ffs

[Denver]

I am fully expecting Mn's to represent us in the next few years

[Shaun]

I am so bored of this man and thirsty gays allowing him a presenting career

[Denver]

We love Katrina

[Shaun]

Katrina :lovedup:

[Denver]

Mess at no suspense

[Shaun]

[Mitchell]

[Greg!]

Oh ffs.

[Denver]

Me when Riley H makes the quarter finals of TIBB on Ice

[Wizard.]

He might do well with the jury

[RileyH]

Nicky was right all along?

[Amy Jade]

This won? :skull:

25th place locked in

[Liam-]

We shouldn’t be allowed to choose, we always spoil it

[Greg!]

Why do we ALWAYS send shitty ballads? And people wonder why we do so badly

[Beso]

He looks like a badly stuffed turkey that is representing himself and not our proud nation.

[LaLaLand]

Ngl I dislike it

[Liam-]

‘We always lose Eurovision, we need to send something good’

*sends this*

[Strictly Jake]

Ok just caught up on this and it was so bad it was good I mean where do I start

Rylan is after a judges spot anywhere now he is out of a job and he treat this as his audition, it was pretty funny. My favourite was seeing him dance to netta who was the highlight for me

Molly and Marvin were irrelevant

Most of the songs were tragic. Kerrie Ann sounded better on the track then live, Anisa(is that her name?) was so boring, maid were beyond tragic, Jordan would only be ok in a Boyband. Holly was pretty darn good but...the cowboys they were awful in a great hilarious way they stole the limelight! I guess the best did win but it's defo not gonna win eurovision and we will be lucky if we don't finish in the bottom 3

Then the UK entry mashup was really something with bucks fizz and Katrina. Would have wanted scooch too though nicky will be gutted. Also Mel fell over that was pretty funny

Also the constant repeating of performances was tragic

So all in all it was beyond awful in a funny enjoyable way

[Morgan.]

We really do have terrible taste. Jordan's 'Freaks' was my favourite I think but all pretty dire.

Imo Jordan's Freaks > Hollys Bigger Than Us > Anisa's Sweet Lies > Kerri-Anne's Sweet Lies > Michaels Bigger Than Us > Maids Freaks

[Headie]

We shouldn’t be allowed to choose, we always spoil it

We should just let Rylan pick every year. He wanted Legends last year and Sweet Lies this year. Instead we got Storm and this bore!

[Headie]

Also the BBC need to stop teasing us with black girls who slay the recordings and then end up breathless in the live performances

[Strictly Jake]

Also the BBC need to stop teasing us with black girls who slay the recordings and then end up breathless in the live performances

Haha I know right! Also I thought the whole time this would be a great song for Alexandra Burke why didn't they ask her!?

[Headie]

These You Decide shows are always so messy every year, the hosts always talking over each other, awkward silences, dead crowds, missed cues etc. Why is it so shoddy :skull:

[Mitchell]

Jordan was robbed anyway, Kerrie Anne was too

[Headie]

How did Kerrie Anne's vocals improve so much from her first performance to her second one :suspect:

[Mitchell]

How did Kerrie Anne's vocals improve so much from her first performance to her second one :suspect:

Cos Anisa stopped sabotaging ha

[reece(:]

Ballads should be banned from Eurovision

[Liam-]

I want Electric Fields to get through and win anyway so we’re cancelled

[reece(:]

Tacky show, dull winner! A non event.

[Nicky91]

UK is my current 3rd out of 5 now behind Albania and czech republic, and in front of spain and france

[Black Dagger]

Lol the worst of the 6

Lmao. How can that even be p9ssible. Both Freaks were a monstrosity.

[andybigbro]

Ugh this would've been so good in Tel Aviv with a bit of polishing
