Simona Armstrong - Eurovision: Your Decision UK 2008 BBC One

[Messylin]

2:26 - "Changes! You look FUCKING LOST with all those CHAAAAANGES!!!"

[brokenpizza]

This song was sooooo good :D

[unrealeck]

This is why most Scots and Irish don't give a shit about Britain or the UK. People treat the UK as England and London.

[XJuanwikoX]

This song means a lot to me. this reminds of the death of my father on march of 08. this song does sucks a little bit but this is just crazy how sad I'm right now. :(...

[AndrewUK1987]

@XJuanwikoX I think it's a great song.

[shamblesman]

Dogshit..of the very finest order.

[finhq018]

This should have won. Better than Andy Nobody or the bird from Grange Hill.

[Bille994]

it makes me laugh that THIS is the quality of the UKs normal efforts at eurovision and yet every year people blame politics when we fail...

if we sent a good strong memorable entry we'd get a good place. like last year.

[MizziLin]

does anyone know if I can download this anywhere?

[TazLeigh101]

wow simona looks different from when she was on "how to solve a problem with maria"Shes really good

[Moo55]

LOL at 2:26

It sounds like she says "you look f***ing nuts with all those changes" :D

[lenalights]

@Moo55

Haha. Love it!

[loaiuk]

simona... you never told me before that was in maria.. i can't believe that went there.. hahaha

[jegersmuk]

Was this before or after she was in "How to solve a problem like Maria"?

[logamac]

She is from Romania.

[BlueRush]

She looks like someone out of Mortal Kombat.

[XPooh3r]

Simona reminds me Kari Byron from the Mythbusters.

Aren't they relatives?

[Michw120]

its not really eurovisiony if u know what i mean

[RockyySistuurs13x]

tbh i dont like it

we definitely sent the right person

but whoevr we send , it wont help really ;(

[alibarthez]

lOVED HER ON mARIA BUT THIS IS SHEER GARBAGE.

Not remotely memorable.

[Gemmmmaa]

Its kinda stupid, not being harsh but shes not even english... and this is the entry for the UK...

[BouncealongInf]

Gemmmmaa

when greece won 2005 she was from sweden!

When uk won 1997 Katrina was from US.

Whe Gina G represented UK 1996 she was from australia.

Greece singer this year from USA.

Poland singer this year from USA.

We should just send The Cheeky Girls at least we get a few laughs next time!

[Lucienofficial]

great idea!!! That'd be bloody great

[jss2007mad]

But it wasn't only Katrina that represented the UK, it was Katrina AND THE WAVES, and the origin of Katrina And The Waves is England.

Elena Paparizou had Greek parents.

Kalomira had Greek American parents.

The rest I agree on, although, if any none European artist wants to enter, I don't see anything THAT wrong in letting them. But good idea, maybe Romania will give us 12 if we send the Cheeky Girls, like Bulgaria gave Germany 12 this year.

[esc4all]

i don't think Romania will give UK even 1 point,Cheeky Girls aren't too apreciated here heh **cough** stupid b*tches **cough** :)

[scottmasterliam]

thats shcoking

what the uk need is some sexy dancing ladies :D

despite that they all help us

it would help abit

[xMikay]

I certainly voted for Simona. :(

[RawJobber]

me too mateyy :( :P - - i think andy is overrated and im not being a smartarse but i said to people that i got a feeling andy would finish bottom and he did.

Simona or Revelations would of done a little bit better :)

[dmjj92]

I love this, so much better then Andy.

[naythanevo]

Ok

Maybe My Comment Was A Bit Out Of Order!!

It Is A Nice Song Though

I Liked Her In The Maria Thing!

I Don't Think Its A Song For The Eurovision!

:D

[Parmazano]

yes this is very eurovision, out of tune at places, badly done, i love it, its better than anything else so far :P

[Chris2292]

tbh it is very eurovision

[alias609]

This makes Even If look like Eleanor Rigby. She can't sing a note either.

[xDanniBabix]

i love how she thought she had a chance lol..

she makes me laff so much the faces she pulls.

blatently tried to represent romania last year and they sed no so she was lyk "britain here we come, i meen if that jemini band got to do it then i sure as hell stand a chance" lol

[hbmpugh]

I really liked this! It's a shame she didn't win. Good on you for trying, Simone! :)

[xcxhx]

The backing singers are much better!

[naythanevo]

If This Got Picked 4 Eurovision, The UK Would Try 2 Get Points Off Romania As She Is From There Originally!

So Bloody Out Of Tune Though!

;)

[sihylands]

I dont think she's out of tune, she's not even flat, she just has a very different singing style, something that I think would have gona down well at Eurovision!

[SoulDiscretion]

Naff....

[jason1707]

if this was picked it would of came top 5... listen to last 5 years winners... its about the tune and this tune is great and the chorus is brill!! missed out big time!

[fazzo5000]

it's just rubbish and out of tune... But that's good, it's Eurovision, this would have been in the top 5 if it was chosen. It'll do much better than "even if"

[Lucienofficial]

you look 'f******' lost?!

[Apfelgras]

"You'll look back and laugh".

[tomloveskim2]

Everything was just off key. It could have been a good song but everything in it was just so out of sync its awful.

[prestonboi79]

i agree but ive some concerns with the whole set up not one of the artists sounded in key and they all sounded like they were struggling.

[scottyboy7902]

our best chance gone

[TyloSoph]

why is no one mentioning the fact that she swears...its eurovision, theres no need!lol

[Apfelgras]

Does she..?

[SwissConnexion]

She doesn't - She sings "You'll look back and laugh at all those changes"

[SwissConnexion]

This is a good song, but once again Britain makes the wrong choice...

[chulcoop]

This wasn't chosen. Even If by Andy Abraham will represent us.

Cliff

[romania4uluv]

the song is catchy, the singer is sexy, her voice is good... the interpretation sux, she looks high ( i really don't want to be mean)"Fire the person who rigs these live performances..No doubt the rest of the world is having a laugh at yet another pathetic attempt.." 100% agree !

[Truthreexamine]

3rd review. The intro is good but thats about it. It sounds like a bad attempt Australian rock from 10 years ago. Overall the song is very badly sang and the words are the only slight advantage from any change!

Now I have had listened to all 3 tunes..I would like to say this.

Fire the person who rigs these live performances..No doubt the rest of the world is having a laugh at yet another pathetic attempt..

Mark - UK Sound Engineerer

[krazykate56]

seriously. Maria reject. Get the point.You werent good enuff for maria. Wat makes u think u are brilliant. she thinks shes so good. And wat is she wearing?

[gianderosa1990]

Back up singers were off, not simona well sung from her.

[sirbryte]

wonderful lyric!!! but seriously did she thought she could won the eurovision?.....sister this was not can you solve the problem like maria? it was,do you think you can solve britain's problem of being a continuous loser at the eurovision?

[Meffybeffy]

I actually quite like this song =]

[mon4eto07]

this song is ok.....but its too normal...u need something awesome for euro vision!!! check out the bulgarian song, its soo much better! i still wosh u luck though..u gotta need it UK

[EuroDC1990]

My favourite was michelle, but I think this would have done best, purely because there is nothing remotely similar in the eurovision this year and there has never been anything that similar before. It is totally unique and diffferent and would have stood a good chance because of that.

[mihaibt]

Super! Bravo! Imi place! Traiasca ROMANIA!!!!! I LOVE ROMANIA!!!! I LOVE MY COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[yoyoMcLaren]

We love you Romania as well, love from the UK ;)

[jesusaurous]

That's a shame, I would've hoped she went onto something better than this after that Maria programme.

[dsvsadfuhd]

SORRY UK

[dsvsadfuhd]

England wht the hell have u done this was a gd song which had a chance of winning and u vote a man who songs make olds peoples life fun.

SHAME ON YOU

[scottyboy7902]

gets annoying, but i reckon if she would've gone through, we'd have had a good chance of winning

[erazordjinn]

I personally hate this song. Too OTT for me. One thing I find unfair though, is that only Simona is getting bashed because she's foreign. People seem to be forgetting that the lead singer of the Revelations was Swedish.

[chulcoop]

And here on youtube the revelations have been trashed because the lead singer could not sing properly live.

Simona - Fantastic singer, not very good song.

Relelations - Fantastic song - poor lead singer.

Solution - put simona in revelations.

[suffolkady]

This is better than that drivel from Andy or Michelle.

[sltr00per]

This is fucking shit!

[ChapatizLand]

THIS SONG IS GREAT x. I wanted her to win. I even voted for her.. Oh well its not the end of the world.

[Bulbaboi4444]

WE SHOULD HAVE GIRLS ALOUD

[lovecitygroover]

It doesn't matter who represents UK or any other country for that matter as long as 1 or more of the songwriters are from that country, after all it is a song contest & not a singer contest. Katrina was American the writer Kimberley Rew was British & also a member of 'the waves'. Same as Gina G she was an Aussie songwriters were Brits.

[catsnlovers]

terrible english song..

0 points from cyprus!!!

[pepper1534]

she aint even english so why was she doin the euorvision fro england?

[beanie124255]

for the UK not for england

[TubeDragon1]

Anybody can enter for any country, look how many Swedes have entered for different countries in the last few years. Celine Dione (Canadian) won for Switzerland and besides it's the UK not England. Get the facts correct before posting stupid comments.

[JerichoDKIB]

Best Entry was The Revelations by a country mile. Does anyone think the rest of Europe will vote for Andy Abrhamas?

The revelations had Swede and a Portugese so we coul dhave secured votes from these nations..Plus they are hot!!!

[TaienQuinn]

Given the fact that eurovision voting is usually political rather than reflecting who's song was best I think a Romanian act would have been a good idea. Besides the rules state that entrants do not need to be from the country they are representing. Besides which past winners Dana Int, Celine Dion and Katrina and the Waves aren't even European!

[fenixfirereloaded]

no sabe cantar, y eso ke ingles siempre suena bien pero esta tia no tiene ni idea.. en fin es mejor el chikilicuatre muhahah

[GenStudent78]

Good voice for karaoke on saturday night but not for Eurovision loool Brits need new freddie mercury.....

[N4Z1M]

this sonng would have done good for britain for sure but you can notice her non british accent and honestly some bad singing in most parts

[Bille994]

But Cyndi (from last year) was French, and her song was practically the same as the eventual winner. It shouldn't matter about their nationality, come on guys beggars can't be choosers, the UK needs all the help we can get...

But yeah all the songs this year were either terrible songs or badly performed (or both =| )

I hope next year someone at the BBC realizes that Europe isn't living in the 1970s.. if not then we're screwed.

[FabFletchie]

I agree with the comments that our entry should be from the UK. However, correct me if im wrong, but the last couple of times that the UK won, was when our entry was foreign ^^.Simonas song i thought was more memorable than andy's tbh and stood more of a chance of winning than he does :S

[stig114]

Sounds like a badly performed Stevie Nicks number, and the chorus is appaling

[billythomas18]

good song but i have to say i am glad she did not get in the eurovision for the uk as she was not even british she was romaninan

[gianderosa1990]

She is a British citizen, but was born and raised in Romania. So, i don't know what people class as British. I believe she lives here and has a UK passport etc.

[jpg2502]

w w w .ipetitions. com /petition/eurovision2008/index­.html

petition get michelle to eurovision! (remove spaces in address)

[AngryAnt0]

Winner won, get over it sorry, but thats just disrespectful. Andy won fair and square.

[ashleyxhuni]

i thought the song was good but shes foreign and surely if we are english and they are representing us in the eurovision then they should be english .

anyone else feel that way ?

[theinnoculator]

bollox...how can u come with crap like that..

[TubeDragon1]

Get it right, it's UK not just England. Some people are so ignorant.

[alisond66]

she's no even from britain!

[Muzickid123]

it should DEFINATELY have been simona and michelle in the sing off

[AdArmand]

The british public are FUCKING LASSSSST for not voting for this superstar!

[onetreehilldc]

come on people. . . wud u want her representin the UK? great song but wasted on a poor singer

[gothicmatie]

this should gone in to eurovision for us

not andy hes crap

and now we gone get no points

[uvisionsong]

totally agree

[kiwigirl1993]

we haven't won since the 80's i think so i think we have all given up on english stars for eurovison!

[hornmoich]

This is totally Eurovision, should be representing uk, at least Michelle Gayle aint representing us even with bias judging she didnt fool the public, hard luck Simona,missed opportunity me thinks

[AdArmand]

the english are notoriously poor in their selection of 'talent'. Simona should be performing this for Eurovision, she is a total character. There's a reason why people like Connie Fisher win - she's bland, she's... 'normal', and hey, she's got the british chompers. Simona has that Marlene thing going on.

[onetreehilldc]

very good song and eurovisiony but badly sung

[friendship890]

she sound weird at the end

[friendship890]

she's really good but somtimes on the chorous she shouts a bit. it doesn't matter that she's not english.

[xshaunthesheepx]

she should of won we're so gonna eurovision this year. She so rubbish which does well in eurovision everyone knows that! andy has a good vocie but its too good for eurovision!

[pepsichick2299]

LOL..I think she DOES say "you look fucking lost" at around 2.25..On live telly aswell? lol

[Schizomanicman]

You know, I think she does! lmao

[mhodgson66]

I know it sounds like that but she actually sings: 'you'll look back and laugh (at all those changes)'.

[lordkrill]

ugh crap song badly sung...have we no good singers anymore?

[DanUserXXXX007]

fantastic song should have won but she not English thats no good

[samperry209]

go andy

cmon britain think positive!

but this song is cool

micheles was alright but she did more dancing then singing

[ThatsSoKrissie]

02:26 well sounds like she says you look fuckin lost hahahaha!!!!

[feralferret]

The pitching/tuning of this track is complex, so it sounds out of tune on many lines. Same as Jemini's did a few years ago, which came across poorly in a live context.

Check out YouTube video Eu5kgSeZHfw

Very similar.

Jemini bombed and didn't get a single point in the contest, if I remember.

[ds1985]

Michelle and Simona were Amazing they should have won. Not boring Andy, This was Rigged. We need a winner. I think Terry loves making the U.K A Laughing Stock at eurovision so hes got something to talk about for three boring hours.

[WibblingFishMonkey]

This could have been a good song if it had a better singer.

[marisa14x]

shes fun. song was gd but michelles was better

[XFireXEaterX]

It's not my type of tune, but for some reason I really love this song :) She has a really original voice, and it's a beautiful song.

[Lawrence1534189]

she aint even english so why is she enterin for eurovision for english

[Busbyhead]

This one should have been the winner! Or at least Michelle's. This one has meaningful lyrics, a catchy and exciting tune, and it might have stood out amongst the competition - unlike the average pop song the public voted for. Simona even LOOKS completely Eurovision!

[spam60]

brutal

[CallMeResponsible]

I think this would have done well in Eurovision and its kinda different for us.

[flabchop]

this sounds more eurovision

[LittleDevil13579]

ok thanks

[sxckitten6]

little devil - i fought she sed youu look bak and laugh ,,

not sure though ,, listen tou itsee if youu fink am rite or not ,,

[luisgarcia7]

yeah get over yourself littledevil and shamblesman stop critising her guys! most of u guys probably have no talent at all so appreciate sum1 who does n stop being bitchy!

[LittleDevil13579]

sorry its not 2:44 its 2:26

[LittleDevil13579]

is it me or at 2:44 does she say you look f***ing lost????????? if it not what is she saying

[tigerlemurguy]

omg i thought that wen i was watching umm umm she swears (omg)

[AlexMac001]

I think she is saying "you look back and laugh at all those changes"

[stupidig]

i think to be honest andy abraham's song is s**t and this song or micheles should have won because their songs are typical eurovision songs!!!

[stupidig]

i think to be honest andy abraham's song is s**t and this song or micheles should have won because their songs are typical eurovision songs!!!

[Danny699]

U disgust me.

[alias609]

this is actually bollocks - she can't sing and when the judges started praising her I thought they were having a laugh

[greystar27]

I think this was fantastic, this should've won then we might of got votes from Romania lol

[Bille994]

if that's your opinion of other europeans then you don't deserve to live here. you disgust me, she did nothing wrong...

anyways... the song is better than andy's song by a long way, but i think |Loveshy had the best song, just needed some work on their vocals.

oh well maybe next year =D

[Axelfres]

You must be joking right? How can anyone be so racist?? Disgusting comment.

[bigbother1]

this woman is to stuck up.. go back to romaina and get a real job

[olsenal]

This SO had the best chance of winning ESC and is not mobo orientated for a change like everything seems to be at the moment. Simona came across as being quite likeable. But what did we get ? Fucking cabaret of course. Is it 1975 all over again ?

[SuperShnizzle]

personally i agree altough i thought michelle should have won i thought it should have been between simona and michelle. Also i thought the voting was rigged as terry did say i cannot be swayed when picking andy for the wild card and so i think their should be representatives of each of the countries in europe come to the studio and let them decide on who goes through as they would have picked big brovaz last year

[ujkakevin]

This was my favorite singer/song combination from the six but as soon as I saw that Andy Abraham was singing I knew who would win. As usual the "Great British public" has had its say and chosen an "OK British song" that IMHO is not "catchy" enough [unlike this one]. Ho hum - lets wait for May and the inevitable "no one likes us, the voting is all political" rather than admitting that we in the UK are bad at picking songs for the ESC.

[nks310784]

Should have won, Andy will never win with that song as it's not Eurovision. Great song but not as catchy as this

[threat20]

This def should have been the choice 4 eurovision. Oh well, at least andy's song is a bit better than the last 2 years entry.

[MissAVuk]

I wasn't so keen on this song before I saw the performance but her entire look screamed eurovision, I voted but Andy still got through!!!

[peterwillhab]

I Like the song. It's so much better than the leaked version :)!

However, I don't like when she sings the 'CHA' bit in Changes. Cha-nges.

[indigojellytots]

she was in how do u solve a problem like maria!

[doggie101171]

She looks cross between avril lavigne and a prostitute.

[theinnoculator]

u basket....do u know...i personally know and she's a gem of a person...so mind u b4 makin comments on a person u dont know...anyways u street doggie

[doggie101171]

wot do u mean am i street?

[XxzoewuvsyoohxX]

this is terrible to she is so off tune!!!

[peterwillhab]

Exactly where is she off tune?

[hiddencape]

This should have won, i mean nobody in romania votes for us, so why not make them gives us 12 points with this? its not even a bad song. the only good one of the night. I turned the TV off when this didnt go through. Andy sucked, and will get nil poi. Every one who voted for any is not thinking in the long run. its a popularity contest, so enter a good sony that isnt british!

[werkozzz]

I like her skinny legs. But I don't know who on Earth she is.

[horsyfreak2000]

Quite like the song but what is she wearing!

[horsyfreak2000]

Quite like the song but what is she wearing!
