  I know this means absolutley naff all but the UK song by adding up Eurovision and BBC youtube views. It is now over the 1 million mark now.
  
  I know ours always get lots of views. But it is astounding

  
  For a comparison, Molly currently has 2.7million across the Eurovision TV and BBC One video's so for just over a week, I'm astounded how Electro Velvet are clocking up the views too

  Genuinely expecting this to be one of the worst entries ever looking at the writer's back catalogue.
  
  Should be up tempo though..

  John Kennedy O'Connor said it reminds him at lot of Israel 1989. He made that out as being positive, I can't think of anything worse.

  I think it wad the unexpected that caused yhr original dislike. Had ther of been an NF I'm convinced that the UK public would have voted high for it.
  now everyone has got used to it with the publicity it generated i csn see prople turning around.... maybe the beeb know what they are doing after all.... ;-)

  I have no trust in the Beeb on this at all. Just watching the two NFs last night makes me feel even worse. Wouldn't it be nice to see us put on a decent show that the rest of Europe could enjoy.

  no, JKO loathes the San Marino entry; that comparison with Israel was meant as a put down.

  I prefer Dima and Running Scared to Mans.
  
  Another year of smug Bjorkman running the show.

  I don't want Sweden to win again. I don't want more smug Bjorkman getting his own way as per usual.

  "Mystical contemporary ballad" 3 coma inducing words to describe a song but on the plus side he'd make a good Conchita impersonator.

  It started off quite mystical. In the end, it seems like an okay Melfest song.

  The Azeri track starts off lovely but then teeters off into an average track that doesn't sound much different from a lot already chosen. Stop ballads 2k15.
  
  Also a lot of backing track and the key change is actually really well done. It's not too bad, very well produced, but meh.
