There's nothing wrong with having a laugh about a singer that you don't personally like, but some singers do tend to attract an obsessive detraction base.

For example Nickelback is another artist where the hatred that a lot of people have for them is imo unhealthy and actually disproportionate to anything that they've done.

I 100% agree again.
I quite like James Blunt myself
He's made some really strong recordings

As with Olly Alexander too, there's been a real minor disproportionate negative response to Eurovision.

I mean really, I love Eurovision myself for the songs, the acts and way out performances.
However is it now a really serious and even fair competion.
I don't mean that just as to the UK but to other Nations too.
I think you mentioned Germany and I'd agree there too.

Anyhow Olly picked himself up, got going again

Planning new tour dates and has a new album to come out very soon too.
Which his fanbase is eagerly awaiting the release date of.

So the news is all good.

I'll never understand the unhealthy dislike of singers.
People either like their music or don't.
There are so many artistes and so many types of music too.
Concentrate on the ones liked rather than the ones not liked is what I do.

I agree with you 100% on your points Joey.

And yes it was Germany that I mentioned, I mean their Blood & Glitter song last year did not deserve to be dead last imo, and I remember feeling similar about a couple of their other entries.

And good luck to Olly on his new Album, he should use his Eurovision experience as a point to prove his detractors wrong.
