Josh: That Sounds Good To Me
seeing I am off sick today with hay fever, and someone posted this song on a blog I read, I thought I would go through this pros, but mainly the cons of this song and the Pros are the dancers, they look like pros... the cons... depends...
this song is so far in the lead for the Gayest song in Eurovision this year, a contest that is usually hotly contested. this song will surely finish top three in that contest. as for the song contest... he is pitchy, particularly near the end. if they pump the music more than the vocals o the night, this could be the UKs best performer since... Katrina and the waves (UKs last winner). if the 'pitchy' doesnt go, he will be up there with... Jemini (Uk's only ever final score of 0)...
If it looks like a pop song and smells like a pop song (ie: pretty shit) it must be a Pete Waterman production, and it is! though it lacks the attempt of class and sophistication of last years entry from the UK (Jade's 'Its My Time), it does manage to maintain the repetitive nature, I mean Andrew Lloyd Webber (writer of last years entry) hasn't really written anything new in decades, and neither has Pete Waterman. Makes you wonder who the UK will roll out of the Old peoples home next year to write their Eurovision entry...
The UK is one of the most successful entrants of Eurovision, with 5 wins (1967, 1969, 1976, 1981 and 1997), but I am not a big fan of songs that win (though 'Making Your Mind Up' was very 'classy' and very camp). when I look into the past of UK entries, I want a song that sounds like it is from an American Western film. Oh look, it is Ronnie Carroll with 'Ring-A-Ding Girl', have a listen to what the UK gave us in 1962
