It feels a bit unremarkable, which doesn't feel great for a Eurovision song. 

No idea what is good for a Eurovision song anymore though tbh, I think Olly Alexander has some kind of following which I guess is good.

I still haven't got over Cha Cha Cha not winning last year. 🟢🟢🟢

I like the UK entry. Nice to see a 'current' pop star giving it a go with plenty of enthusiasm.

Will it win? Who knows.

Just embrace the madness.

12 months ago, I never knew how much I would enjoy Finnish rap music! 😀

Eurovision judges like humorous uplifting songs. As usual, the UK's picked a clunker. That video is like an advert for a private psychiatry practice.

But if the humorous song is a bit too pleased with itself, or there's a gimmick that's belaboured too far, the judges and public can turn on them. You can never entirely predict what will play well, except that cynical/lazy/desperate copies of the previous year's winner usually do very badly.

The above misconception is probably why the UK doesn't allow the public to choose its entries anymore.

Going back over recent-ish winners, it's certainly both hard to spot a trend and hard to find one that really meets the criteria of 'humorous' and 'uplifting'.

At least the UK appears to have moved on from "cheap but camp as Christmas" or "veteran with no staging budget" as its entries.

Does every Serb entry look and sound like this?
