UK Entry 2025

[Stuart]

Well, this does work well live

It’s coming home. We’re going to win Eurovision.

(I go through this phase every year)

This is definitely one of the most earwormy entries of the year. Great performance. The little excited giggles and "I love you girls" at the start was so cute.

The problem with starting big is that the song has nowhere to go which in turn makes it seem repetitive as hell and even live they can’t seem to find away round that yet.

I think they could do the first chorus acapella to show off their vocals and also make the 2nd chorus more of an event

The girls seem to be enjoying the ride, and I hope that will translate over on the night!

Interesting!

 

[nban2010]

Feel there's something special brewing here, and with the next 2 preparties coming up too, the hype will build. Hold your horses!

The tide is turning: the UK has moved up from 33rd to 32nd on the Eurovision Scoreboard app (we celebrate every win)

 

[Pug Life]

Yeah, I think they're very clearly aware of the focus on the live vocal, so they'll be careful not to compromise it and to do everything to showcase it.

I love this song. It's a total earworm.

I love it now but definitely took 5 listens. I don’t think it’s going to be as instant for the casual viewers.

Loving this promotion!

 

[nban2010]

They are absolutely smashing the promo game. It's becoming extremely hard not to root for these girls.

This has the potential to kill me off…

Oh wow! This is going to be a MOMENT!! But it will likely just make me even more angry that their talent is being wasted on such a bad song for the actual competition.

RM dancing to Kaj in an Icelandic sauna, all my eurovision dreams have come true!

 

[Wild Them.]

This song continues to send me. “Someone lost a shoe” with that really emotional vocal. “It was time to unwind and I volunteered”?? The Americanism of “no clue” is also really jarring.

It's really not that deep, just meant to be a fun song

Looking at the Remember Monday cross-Europe promo efforts, it feels a bit “what happened?” with Mae and Olly’s years? Why didn’t either really promote (or did they and I missed it?).

 

[happers]

I also can’t fully cope with the lost a shoe opening line, sorry. It still feels weird after stating the BBC were looking for a song with genuine emotional storytelling that we have a song with a lot of performative pearl clutching (literally). As much as I like the act, and enjoy the uniqueness of the song. But it’s still without genuine emotion for me, which is a shame as we could have had a wow moment with a soaring ballad like France this year.

Mae did a couple of parties that.. didn't go well, and it was a hard one to do any sort of acoustic-y promo with as it was so reliant on the backing. Olly was in a similar position but he also had a lot of the Israel drama hanging over him so I think that put the brakes on much of the promo.

This entry however is basically perfect for them rocking up to radio/TV/podcast studios and just singing, and they seem more than willing to do so.

Being a fun song - it is - doesn't mean it's beyond critique for lazy songwriting, sorry.

I really like the group, and they sell the hell out of the song, but as a song itself, it just doesn't stand up, despite it having a good hook, decent build throughout, and excellent vocals. Luckily Eurovision is also about the performance, staging, energy, vocals - I'm confident they will deliver on all of those fronts. There is potential for the UK to do well (and they'd deserve to).
