Good morning Ammi

Yes Indeed Ammi, good luck to him on an entertainment show
There'll be some he does entertain, others lukewarm and those who wouldn't like him whatever he was singing or whatever his staging was.

I like his story of his life and am a fan of all his 'Years and Years' work which has over the years brought him chart success and number one albums.

I quite liked Luxembourg and am glad they are back in Eurovision.
I do find Croatia's entertaining.
I liked Iceland but it didn't get through sadly.
Ukraine is growing on me for some reason after hearing it last night

As for Olly's 'Dizzy' that chorus has been stuck in my head for weeks now
It's a really strong chorus.

The other semi final show is Thursday.
I'll tell you who I liked from there once I've seen them.

….ahhh, I didn’t realise that both semi finals hadn’t been shown, but yeah…let me know your thoughts of those ‘best ones…’…when you hear them all…if I get a chance, I might look up the ones you’ve mentioned and listen to those entries…Olly is a sweetheart of a person and I know that you’re a huge fan and will be championing him this weekend……I hope that you have a fabulously enjoyable Eurovision evening, Joey…..

i mean it was very hard to top the annoyingness levels of Serbia 2010, but here we are, Milan Stankovic finally has his successor

congratulations Olly and BBC



UGH what you could've had in Nathan Evans and ''Highland Girl'' slay sea shanty

well said Zizu.
Here's hoping he could do okay.

Although the UK is NEVER now anywhere near being a leading favourite in Eurovision generally or in the betting particularly, because of the past issues of political not liking of the UK image now internationally.

Olly will give his all and do his best, as indeed all the performers on the night will.
No one can do more than that.
So good luck to them all.

It's a pity that programme on his road to Eurovision hadn't been longer Zizu

Slovenia had a mermaid theme, of course there had to be nudity


they played that very well tbh, this coming from a person who has recently the series Siren in mind



Ireland also kinda a twisted sexual thing going on with their blue demon dancer, which was like a horror film to me, so wholesome i'm thinking about voting for them on saturday tbh

I'm not complaining about Slovenia's routine, personally I got a fair bit out of that routine.

But it isn't fair that Olly is getting pulled up for a sexual routine by some people, yet Slovenia is getting a free pass.

Imo I support both acts not being overly sanitised in that particular area.

And Ireland I'm with you on Nicky, that's a fascinating performance imo.

Croatia dominated and will be very hard to beat

Lots of bookies have him now at 125/1

[Gusto Brunt]

Just my opinion, but I think Olly is a silly choice.

He'll probably finish last.

No change there though.

In a perfect world I would say he’s the PERFECT choice as he’s loved the Eurovision
Song contest all his life …

Sadly due to politics and general pettiness his night will probably end in dreadful sadness.


The poor guy suffers dreadfully from severe depression and has been medicated for around 15 years plus he suffers from extreme anxiety so he’s nauseous before each performance..


I read that after each concert he’s often to be found in the bathroom ( throwing up ) and has to be dragged back on stage for the encore !!

Now he’s intelligent enough to have known how this is all gonna play out so he deserves special praise for putting himself through this ordeal.

Hopefully he has been prepared for the worst outcome, so that he can be pleasantly surprised if he can achieve higher than expected.

Yeah he’s a clever guy and a Eurovision obsessive so he will know that the song or the singer has little bearing on the outcome

Mock do you honestly think Olly cares about winning, he just wants to be shocking and get attention.

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.

Well I have watched most of his tv performances and interviews ( and his documentary) and I don’t recognise him from your description of him . I feel that you simply don’t know or understand him at all


I do think that this year is more sexually suggestive than ever before and the vast majority of the male prancers ( sorry dancers) were overtly feminine in looks and movements.



I never thought I’d see a three hour program where Olly looks like a docker in comparison to the others


Fantastic interview below !

Lyrics

Oh Ay Oh
Oh Ay Oh

Here We Are, Once a almighty superpower force to be reckoned with
now we feel, we feel lost, but is there hope in the sea of miracles
for our comeback at many mirrorballs

the sea of miracles (Yeah Baby)
many wonders, many mirrorballs

Oh Ay Oh
Oh Ay Oh (Oh Oh)

we are sorry for any crimes against europe
we were never bigger than yourope

now we feel, we feel lost, let there be hope in the sea of miracles
praying for miracles, miracles

the sea of miracles (Oh Baby)
many wonders, many mirrorballs

my love, my sea of miracles
Oh Ay Oh

we are just an island, surrounded by the sea of miracles
many wonders, many miracles, mirrorballs

Oh Ay Oh
Oh Ay Oh

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Miraclesssssss in the SEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

.

i'd say this has potential with a divine instrumental beat

You may as well bet on the next WWE ( fake wrestling ) competition-both are completely pointless .
