only Eurovision performance I disliked.
I actually think he was better in the year & years days, and had more memorable tunes. I still think of his hit ' I
was a king under your control ', that was a bop . |
We don't hear much of Eurovision entrants or winners much in the UK after the contest.
Sadly because it used to be I believe a springboard to international success.
Olly actually is still the same as in Years and Years days and I agree 'King' is a classic of his along with others, I love 'Shine'.
On his last album, still under Years and Years although his solo work in 2022.
I also loved the song 'Sweet Talker' from his number one album 'Nightcall'.
I really like Dizzy too, especially his totally stripped back take he's done on it.
It's actually sad really that Eurovision is going down the road of out of the ordinary and perhaps controversial stage effects and staging.
It's like concerts too, they are going for outlandish staging.
Being honest, I didn't like most of the effects or staging of the majority on Eurovision.
The one I liked most was the simplest in my view
The French guy singing his song and using his voice.
However it's how shows like this are now, having effects, routines and staging which more detract from the songs and hinder the artistes.
I can't see Eurovision changing though and only expect the staging and performances to be staged even more wildly in future.
As I said on here somewhere, I have a dvd of past Eurovisions from 1956 to 2014.
It only shows snippets of who came in the top 3 of the contests.
I have to admit I really enjoy that dvd immensely.
In the last 7 years at least, although I have still a party night on Eurovision.
Once it's over, I haven't looked back over the last few Eurovisions at all afterwards.
Nice talking to you GoldHeart.
