UK Entry 2022

[AllRed]

I mean, it's cute. Cuter than Embers. Cuter than 0 points, for sure. I predict a top 15 result.

 

[WowWowWowWow]

Nul points or not, the other day I heard Embers playing in Target. In America. That's impact baby! A global smash! Maneskin who?

I know this song isn't tickling a lot of your fancies, but I fucking love it. This is my favourite UK entry in years and years and years.

All I'm hoping for now is some fun, eye catching staging, because it's clear we don't have to worry about Sam's live vocal. He's a beast.

THIS!

I've only listened to it once so far, but I reckon it's the best UK entry for a few years. Lots of potential for breathtaking spacey staging too.

 

[salmonandmash]

It definitely has a lot of potential (to get off the bottom of the leaderboard, at least) if they pull out all the stops with the staging. His live vocals are really going to make people sit up and listen, even if the song is a bit middle of the road.

 

[krajol]

I don't get all the negativity here, it's definitely the best UK entry in a long time and with a good staging, it sounds like an easy top 10 or even top 5 to me

 

[Lost In Japan.]

Not that it’s a particularly high bar, but this is surely the best UK entry since ‘Children of the Universe’?

 

[Square]

FLOP

 

[Gasur]

Is it too late for a poppers o'clock revamp?

 

[pmas]

If he gets a second half running slot it should score enough with juries to get out the bottom 5 surely.

I hope we are bold and imaginative with the staging as others have said.

Female bop for 2023 though please.

Have we just copied Arcade though?

 

[~Paul~]

Have we just copied Arcade though?

In what sense?

The two songs aren't rhythmically, melodically or lyrically similar (to me anyway), and Sam and Duncan are very different performers, with very different voices.

 

[Square]

Have we just copied Arcade though?

No that would suggest a good song X

 

[MB]

All I can say is that it's better than Embers, it's A LOT better than Michael Rice so at least there's that.

 

[~Paul~]

No that would suggest a good song X

It's all a matter of opinion. While I do like Arcade very much, Space Man is a more musically interesting song for me, and I prefer Sam's voice.

 

[Punka]

Well, girl can sing. This is absolutely not what I wanted but it is a vast improvement on the last few years and I can see the strategy here. If he nails the live vocal and the presentation is strong this could do well.

 

[Mary Cherry]

If this does well I fear we’ll be sending Newton Faulkners for the next 10 years.
