Sorry, but I’m not entirely sure how much faith we should be putting into a clip where he’s wearing a bra, clearly taking the piss and even starts laughing halfway through. It does say a lot that people are more willing to base their assessment of our chances off this clip than the actual clips of the GENUINELY ASTONISHING rehearsal.

Astonishing the clip may have been, let's not pretend his vocals weren't ropey there as well.
 
Remember ButterTart was saying the same about Mae last year until the very last second. :eyes:

Absolutely, see what I said earlier- the verses sounded ropey to my ears, but there just wasn't enough to go on.

And whilst I entirely agree that was not a "performance" and he was taking the piss, they weren't just bad...they were bad enough for that to be a genuine worry.

Now now, he didn't like it originally, he was peer pressured into that remember. He definitely wasn't won over in approximately 0.037 seconds to become one of her biggest cheerleaders, and anybody who tells you he also thought that Michael Rice and James Newman were top ten bound is a filthy liar.
 
I thought the vocals in the rehearsal clip were fine.

I still dont know if this is going to do well or not(if it comes last so be it) but let not try and pretend this is on a par with Mae Muller, ffs.
 
I wouldn’t worry too much about that slightly silly clip (although no idea why they released it) - the rehearsal sounded fine
 
I love how a daft clip revealing that he can't sing has somehow managed to change anyone's opinion - we all knew from day dot the entire performance would hinge on being drowned out by noise and thirty backing vocalists dialled up to 100. Nothing's changed!
 
Good luck to him. The vocals may kill it but let’s hope a bit of an interesting staging and a solid pop song works well and gets the UK a good result. Plenty of time to moan about it afterwards. I, for one, am still excited to see what he can bring and won’t write him off just yet.
 
If she presents from the Television Centre they can quite literally ask her ‘Where is that, Shepherd’s Bush?’

How does incredible staging / ropey vox usually go, historically?

If he's shit, he really should have the good sense to throw in a "hey girls - what can you do for me?" if not the towel.

Anyway, I've not heard a single huff or puff, so will be going in to the lives expecting the reincarnation of Melanie Thornton as Gollum the house down boots mama okurr.
 
On Blue Peter (:eyes:) he's just given a very diplomatic answer about how he loves everyone and it's a "very strong" Eurovision year... But he then name checked Dame NEBULOSSA as his fave. :disco:

:Zorra:

And his fave UK entry is GINA G :disco:

Nice to see he does have SOME taste.
 
He's just broken a Guinness World Record. For spinning on a chair while catching balls or something. ("Dizzy!" Gettit?).

Let's see Big Sam Do THAT.
 
ALSO: did we know Dizzy's getting a revamp? Has he been performing it at the parties and I've just missed that memo?

Our Graham was on Virgin earlier and said THIS after they played the studio version -

The notes on the rehearsal earlier in the week suggested it had been changed to some extent
