I must say ... he's painfully boring & predictable with the usual porno sexual behaviour. He's playing the Sam Smith Lil Nas game. But publicity bad or good is still an accomplishment in Olly's book no doubt .

As for other comments mentioning if it would be different with women & topless men, people have criticised over sexualised female performers aswell .

I'm pretty sure Madonna gets called out , aswell as people like
Ice Spice etc.

People are irritated & tired by how the music industry pushes the whole ' sex sells' theme, when surely it should be more on talent & their merit.
Maybe he is playing on shock tactics, I personally don't really care either way if he is or isn't tbh.

At least we're not sending him out with bare bones staging, like we've done to some of our entries in other years.

Plus we have all been complaining about the Entertainment Industry being overly sanitised/the Mary Whitehouse era/too soft in it's presentation, yet Eurovision this year does have the UK and Ireland (two countries that I never thought that I'd ever say this about) are in different ways trying to bring a bit of an edge to their performances, and we've got some people calling them out for it.

And personally I hope that Slovenia keep avoiding detection from the masses on this front tbh, as imo I am sick to death of what I personally call the CBBC era of the Entertainment Industry.

Personally the UK, Ireland, nor Slovenia are my number 1 choice out of this year's Eurovision songs, but let's celebrate sexuality and Satanic performances again.
