For years, the rhetoric has been that UK do poorly at Eurovision because 'it's political'.
Legit Eurovision fans know otherwise - its because UK sends poor/unmemorable songs nearly every year.
When UK bother to make an effort, the results show the Euro public will respond favourably (2009 & 2011 being the two examples from the last 20 years)
FINALLY, the powers that be have given us a good song, a decent music video and got Tik Tok star Sam Ryder representing the country with a song that's catchy and memorable. It's not for everyone, that's fine. The way the scoring is set up, being 'OK' doesn't cut it - it needs to be a love it or hate it song to actualy get people picking up the phone and voting. UK's last 4 or 5 songs have been perfectly inoffensive and 'radio friendly' but have finished nowhere, including a couple of last places in there as well.
For the first time since 2011 I'm choosing to listen to the UK entry on Alexa/Youtube etc. It's quality.
Not saying we'll win but for the first time since Blue in 2011, I think we MIGHT and that's a massive improvement.
