Bonnie Tyler - Believe In Me

[VoR]

From our doldrums years from 2003-2021, I genuinely think this was the best song, even while acknowledging that it was a terrible choice of entry (if that makes any sense)



That random triumphant WOOF at 3.08 sends me every time

 

[Kratz]

I actually think ‘Love Will Set You Free’ is the best song, albeit always doomed, but this is a good song.

Did the BBC pay for that elevating platform? I don’t think anybody else used it.

 

[Kratz]

It is astonishing that the BBC thought any of this was a viable strategy

 

[Tisch]

Is this an OPINION POLL?

I love it and I believe in her x

 

[Tisch]

YUYYYYYOoooouuuuiu sssssssaaayyyyyuyy yooooouuuuuuuu doooooonnnnnnttttttt. Beerllllll~~~~iii3evvvve~~ in aloooooooovvveeee and stuuuuuu~ffffffffffff


So beautiful

 

[VoR]

Yes it's an opinion poll!

 

[Tisch]

Yes it's an opinion poll!

Well then, it deserved ALL THE 12's

 

[Raining on Me]

I can't remember what I thought at the time, other than zero expectation probably, but yes now I do think this is rather nice

Trouble is, it was like our Eurovision equivalent of BREXIT FOOTBALL - the entitlement as if just sending an old legend and fuck any other effort required.

 

[Vicky the Vole]

Children of the universe is the best song from those years I think. I even like it better than Spaceman.

 

[Nancy]

It's FUCKING AWFUL

 

[Dark Carnival]

The answer is obviously Lucie Jones.

 

[GNL]

Really should have leaned in to the 80s hair, greased up muscle queen vibe of her biggest hits tbh.

 

[lolly]

The answer is obviously Lucie Jones.

in the 7th Heaven mix, without doubt. Not so sure about the original. Certainly the best performance from that period, though.

Believe In Me is nice, but not for Bonnie.

 

[ButterTart]

Lucie was the only one from 2012 to 2021 that really deserved to go top ten, but I did like this song a lot. It's not competitive in any way and couldn't justifiably have placed higher, but as a song in its own right it makes a nice listen.

 

[ButterTart]

I think there's a separate thread in here - Favourite UK entries from the DOLDRUMS YEARS.

I just think 'nice' isn't a word you can use to describe Bonnie's voice since the late 70s.

 

[Nancy]

The microphone only sound feed for her performance of this at the final is PAINFUL

 

[VoR]

This is... quite something
