Please, if we're being real, nearly everyone here would be hating on the song just as much as the other boring male songs if it wasn't the UK entry and this wasn't a UK-centric forum. He still came second, I'm sure a few gays on forum.popjustice.com not being fans won't make any difference.
If it was Javine pipped to the post I'd be fuming but Sam is... whatever. Yes he seems enthusiastic about the contest moreso than the usual drivel we send in but it was still drivel just dressed up better in a sea of unusually dull and same-y performances. Definitely a few factors this year which made for a nail biting result nonetheless!
I think it will likely be one of the Big 5. As if it's someone else they would likely expect to be in the final automatically along with Ukraine. So I can't see see the EBU having 7 Automatic Qualifiers again.
Really over the moon for the UK and Spain! A great result overall and despite the over abundance of rather dull songs I had a lot of fun watching this year.
UK deserved its placing. They made the effort, sent a good song, staged it well and performed the fuck out of it. Lets hope this is a turning point.
