United Kingdom 2024: Olly Alexander - Dizzy (1 Viewer)

[ADONK5]

Oooh it’s good

 

[ButterTart]

Yeah, this is already excellent.

 

[Soldi Elektronike]

The intro is very Pet Shop Boys.

It’s literally It’s A Sin!

 

[Hard Rock Ag-elujah]

The production

 

[ButterTart]

The second line of the chorus.

 

[ZjermGiraffe]

Ooh, the high notes are so going to go wrong on the night

 

[ButterTart]

Ooh, the high notes are so going to go wrong on the night

I'm sure they'll be outsourcing them.

 

[ADONK5]

Oh no not a spoken word bit

 

[ZjermGiraffe]

A TALKING BIT!?

 

[ZjermGiraffe]

VILE.

 

[Soldi Elektronike]

 

[KNT]

Put your feet up and get the dildo out hun

 

[ButterTart]

 

[ADONK5]

The ending is a bit abrupt

 

[ZjermGiraffe]

A moderate serve

 

[Una Kratz Per San Marino]

That’s a really good song.

 

[ADONK5]

We’d already heard the best bits but those bits were amazing anyway

 

[Hard Rock Ag-elujah]

Pretty fucking good. Well done babe.

 

[ADONK5]

After a few more listens I wonder if this could be my favourite entry of the year?

 

[dzjermlaw]

It’s literally It’s A Sin!

It wishes.

 

[ZjermGiraffe]

Poll added

 

[Soldi Elektronike]

It wishes.

I meant the INTRO

 

[ButterTart]

I'm absolutely fucking THRILLED.

 

[Una Kratz Per San Marino]

If they get the performance right (and surely lessons have been learned ) that could do really well. It’s got a good shot at appealing to juries and televote.

Consensus winner? Jaywick 2025?

 

[ButterTart]

The stage show is going to be MASSIVE.

 

[Mugatu]

I like it! Putting my gay creative director hat on, I'm imaging Ally at the centre of a graveyard rave setting with lots of strobes and a convenient dark area at the rear of the stage where several backing singers can hide.

 

[Soldi Elektronike]

Consensus winner? Jaywick 2025?

This is the thing, I feel like just a few weeks ago Ukraine looked like a runaway winner but now the field seems to suddenly be wide open.

 

[La Peneloupée monte le son]

That isn't winning

 

[Soldi Elektronike]

I never said the UK would!

 

[KNT]

Putting my gay creative director hat on, I'm imagining this

 

[Una Kratz Per San Marino]

That isn't winning

LooooooOOooooOOOOOp

 

[Alla]

A pretty good pop song that can't see being amazing live on stage in Eurovision. Probably a radio hit more than a winning contender, in my humble opinion.

 

[ZjermGiraffe]

Putting my gay creative director hat on...

...GIANT TRUMPETS!

 

[OutSynk]

This is very good, the Danny L Harle production is wonderful but probably TOO SUBTLE to win. Everyone's pussies will be devastated by Austria.

 

[La Peneloupée monte le son]

I'm struggling with the fact that the bits of the song we hadn't heard already feel like they actually dull its impact in terms of where they take the whole lot overall. Repeating the chorus but taking it down the scale? Ending that abruptly in a way that doesn't give skypunch, but rather just "oh."?

[La Peneloupée monte le son]

Aside from anything else, the spoken word section should clearly have been cutie of the evening (to the cadence of West End Girls)

 

[OutSynk]

I haven't actually heard Croatia yet. One hyperbole a day.

The last two years the UK songs have added bits at the beginning or end that aren't on the studio version, so I'm not seeing that bit as a finished article. I really like the second line of the chorus; it didn't do what I expected it to and I appreciated that.

 

[Samuel]

I’ve no doubt a good staging concept could really elevate this.

I also wouldn’t be surprised if we end up with a ‘Spaceman (Eurovision Edit)’-style rework of the final 20 seconds or so by the time it gets to May.
