  • This was much more suitable and better for eurovision than andy's song!

  • THIS SHOULD HAVE REPRESENTED US THAT YEAR!! :/

  • I must be listening to something else compared to everyone else because I think this is absolutely fucking shite.

  • Good God, this is awful.

  • I still cringe when I listen to this

  • In case anybody's wondering way it played out was two amateur girls bands sang, and one got through, then two semi-professionals sang and one got through, and two professionals sang and this awesome song got through. Then the twist, one of the acts was thrown a wild card. Unfortunately Andy Abrahams got it. The votes came in about half an hour later and this song lost to the wild card, and we came last, and apparently we blamed Europe... our version of Eurovision seems to be the worst song wins.

  • Utter shit.

  • crap!

  • Why did not United Kingdom send this song?

  • Good singer but this song is fucking horrible. Best singer and song in recent years has been Jade Ewen.

  • I will never get over this not winning the vote!

  • The energy in that performane alone should have got it through

    Not an easy song to perform

  • This song should have been our song for UK. way better than Andy Abraham.

    Michelle Gayle rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 25 people make me go "Ooh, bleh" ;-) Don't worry, I'm kidding. Mostly.

  • I loved this song !!

    

  • i can't believe you guys didn't vote for this.

  • I don't like it, Andy Abraham was boring though, last place either way.

  • I love it! I love it! Soooooooooo should have been our entry that year.x

  • This is CRAZY! I LOVE IT

  • Should have gone to eurovision.

    Not stupid Andy Abraham !!

    <3 Woo!

  • this is halrious im a good way haha she should have won :) we went up with jade then back down with that other guy haha

  • YAY i love this

  • It needed some work as the judges said, but this song would have given us a chance.

  • I love it! it's something different that you don't see at eurovision! it makes me boogie and i'm sure this would have rocked Belgrade!

  • super!!!

  • The judges said that Michelle should have won. In my opinion proffesionals should make the desicions, they know what works in Eurovision when the public vote for people, not the song.

  • Complete utter trash. Thank god the rest of Europe didn't have to see this.

  • Over 2 years ago and I still am annoyed that this song didn't get picked!

    The judging panel picked Michelle as their favourite, people in the audience were chanting her name, so there could only be one winner......Andy Abraham??!

    Andy Abraham who was only in the final 2 after getting Terry Wogan's wildcard vote.

    Fix, fix, fix!

  • This would have been embarrassing at the final!

  • If Andy didn't appear on X factor then Michelle would of got through o.o

  • Comment removed

  • she was robbed!

  • Thank god the beeb got rid of the stupid regional voting which ROBBED Michelle of being our entry. This song would have got us mid table at the very least. You need something to stand out at Eurovision and Andy was forgettable.

  • definately should have had this as our euro entry

  • should have been

  • This song would have definitely done well in the actual contest. Its a shame it wasn't voted for. I love it :D

  • she was sooooo much better! but im glad they made the right choice this year

  • The Eurovision song that never was. This is infinitely better than the rubbish we actually sent. Sure needed polishing, but this had the seeds of a good production; Andy Abrahams sorta went nowhere!

  • why on earth did we let this amazing song slip through our fingers, eh?!

  • it is a bit crap...but she is fit ...

  • Which song was this then...Don't mess with my Toot Toot? Or something from Godspell? It wasn't a song, it was a mish mash of soul and Cajun songs- and not very well sung!

  • This song should have been the winning ticket....stupid bloody public that know nothing about Eurovision

  • @rachlovestallulah I agree lol andy was crap

  • Stupid bloody BBC that knows nothing about Eurovision either ...

    Until 2009 of course ;)

  • @rachlovestallulah seconded 100%

  • this should of won andy was shit!

  • this sucks

  • she tried too hard!! andy was well better!!!

  • why on earth did the UK vote Andy, he was rubbish, i blame terry wogan, he let andy through. If he had not then this song would be at eurovision! On the other hand without andy, we would be stuck in the horrible Let Britain decide voting system. At Least ALW had chosen someone good!

  • Me too, I'd love to get a copy of the song. This was one of the last shows I saw on the telly before I ended up in Australia...I only went out for 20 lambert and butler and a pint of milk...

  • Does anyone know whether the song ever got released?? And whether one can download it somewhere? Thanks!

  • This way WAY better than Andy Abraham. I forget his name, but one of the judges that year said that this song was "EUROVISION EUROVISION EUROVISION!". And I agree with him.

  • I LOVE that performance.She really gives 100% and really got the crowd going.

    The Revelations had the slightly better song,but Michelle gives it so much welly that her entry stood out above all others.

  • oh sorry, forgot you was in every countries Music Charts!

    Its hard for them, they have to dance and sing at the same time...so obv parts will be out.

    So where was u in this show then? oh yes you wasnt!

  • penisboat blame the people who dont work who can.

  • THIS IS ACE i voted this.

  • this is the song that shud have represented us last year. andy abraham's song was good, but it wasn't eurovision. if we had michelle gayle, we wouldn't hav won but we wud hav done a lot better.

    oh well.....

  • This or the Revelations should have represented us last year, this years' song is absolute drivel, we will be hammered again, although to be fair some of that is due to the fact we are hated in Europe and only Malta and Ireland vote for us

  • Seriously? Just how many people haven't heard about the 50/50 jury/public vote? May i remind you last time the juries were widely used the UK won, in fact it was rare to see the UK outside the top 10 with juries even with a crap song!

    So you might not have faith in the song this year (I do), but the fact ALW will be on stage will roll in the jury votes. Okay, so we probably still wont win, but we'll get our best result since 2002 (our best since 2002 was 39 points in 2004 lol).

  • You can add Spain, Belarus, Germany, the Czech Republic, France, Israel, Russia, Latvia, Andorra, Bulgaria, Lithuania, FYR Macedonia, Slovakia, Greece (especially), Bosnia & Herzegovina, Ukraine, Albania, Serbia, Cyprus, Poland, the Netherlands, Croatia, Portugal, Ireland, Denmark, Moldova, Slovenia, Armenia, Hungary and Norway to that list of the only countries who vote for us now ;)

    Or perhaps it was just our terrible songs that were hated in Europe.

  • I think you proved him wrong :) I'm really happy with this year's entry.

  • unfortunately morons are in charge - hence andrew lloyd-webber's involvement this time and michelle not representing us last time

  • This song was still abit :s

    But tis catchy n wud of at least done abit better then Andy *load of shit, that was*

  • Hey you guys, be nice to eachother. I hope you kissed and made up. Michelle is great she shouldve been picked for the Euro last year we couldve won or had better points. xxx

  • Hey you guys lets be nice. I hope you kissed & made up. x

  • this song should have represented the UK last year

  • Omg

  • FFS, why don't you both just Shut the fuck up?!? Why can you not discuss Michelle Gayle's performance rather than the UK?!?.

    Infact, PenisBoat, the UK is icredibly good compared to other countries. We are one of the few that offer free medical care. We are, unfortunatly, in an un-just war at the moment, and alot of knife crime, but that is the PM's fault, Okay? Not ours.

    So STFU and rate the performance. Then both of you walk away and forget each other.

  • ill be ur customer

  • I never understood why the Eastern Europeans moved to England. They joined the EU and changed their crap currency to the Euro. Surely it must be better for them to stay where they were born as the cost of living is cheaper. What's the point of moving to our country, especially London where the rents are like £1,000 a month. Unless they're like the Phillipino's who rent one flat and share with like 100 friends from their fellow country whilst working 3 different jobs like slaves. Who knows!

  • yeah they gotta be off their heads coming to a shithole like the uk the tho spineless pussie called gordon brown just lets them in and gives free houses and money to muslims and eastern europeans but god knows what they are thinking coming to the uk its a fucking dump!

  • Compared to most countries, the UK is far from a dump. We offer free education, free healthcare, a minimum wage and a decent standard of living which is being abused by our country.

    If you think he is giving away money and houses to 'muslims and eastern europeans' you really are deluded. And without them coming into our country, we would be far worse than now. They are coming in and doing the jobs the UK are too lazy to do, we wouldnt need them if people decided to get up and do something!

  • and what about all the brtis that move to other countries, and set up ex pat clubs, they omnly drink in british owned pubs, they might as well be in the uk as they make no attempt to mix with local traditions yet people blame people from other countries for not doing exactly the same. seems that some people are selective when they start moaning about people coming from other places, the brits are just as giulty of the same things when they move abroad and claim their dole money

  • they are arseholes agred

  • hope u get laid off from work

  • your profile says you are a construction worker im assuming you have been laid off work going on youtube and bothering people all day and night

    now go away

  • actually i was born in barnsptaple, devon in 1991 lived in telford then moved to the isle of wight then lived in spain for 5 years came back to the uk lived in portsmouth for a year and now live in lancashire and there is nothing proud about living in the uk at the moment we have the most knife crime the problem of obesity and our economy has gone to shit and the music sucks ass

  • wow you presented me a bunch of shit of bands

    that didnt answer the question why does the uk suck so much

  • I will NEVER understand why this song did not represent the UK. OK it is simple but it had something special about it ..............it would have got us votes....although they have to rethink the dreadful ESC voting system.

  • why does the uk suck so muck?

  • This so should have been entered into the Eurovision Song Contest, we would have done so much better1 It's catchy, fun, quirky, cheesy but a marvelous put together track. This has Eurovision written all over it, this could easily be put onto this years as certainly doesn't sound outdated. Bring On Michelle Gayle for Eurovision...let's get a petition going!!!

  • It's obviously not the best song, but it's catchy and cheesey, like Eurovision entries should be! I can still feel the utter horror, confusion and outrage from when Andy's name was called!

  • Who voted for Andy?

  • well gd song....she should of gone up for us....we would of had a much better chance of winning........... u make me woooooooo woop ! :)x

  • she would of won probs

  • i wish that she got through

  • I lurve this song. It is top!!

    Should of been sent to eurovision rather than andy.

    Just a thought, I think Geraldine (Gerald) ((Peter Kay)) from the spoof comedy "Britain's Got the Pop Factor and Possibly a New Celebrity Jesus Christ Soapstar Superstar Strictly on Ice" should do a different rendition of the winners song and sing it for eurovision haha XD

  • luv the song any1 hu will go out with me i am single i need a boi 2 luv me email ur name nd age i am 14 xxx ty xx

  • I don't wanna be her hip bone xD

  • I love this song, and I know so many people who love it to. Does anyone know if she is ever going to release it, as I would buy it 100%!!!!!

  • Reform S Club and send them next time ..they'd walk it!!!!!

  • ohhhhh, great Brittan, this it terable!!! She can't even sing!!!!

    Last year andy and now this?????

    // sweden

  • ????? This was the song that came second to Andy in the national final selection.

  • It's a fairly nice song and it's catchy, but it would seem to me that Michelle Gayle doesn't stand out at all. Sometimes you can't even distinguish her from the back-up singers.

    Now that I've seen all of Britain's submissions, I would say that Simona's and Rob's were the two best, in tune, lyrics and voice.

  • I voted for this song. Michelle was robbed. Eurovision is a fix anyhow. Next year the voting structure has been changed coz its too political at moment. Love Michell Gayle!!!!!!

  • yh andy is a good singer but i think we would have got better then 14 points if michelle was reprasenting us

  • Erovishion is a fix

  • I voted for her 5 times. Michelle should have won.

  • this should of won

  • this was so much better than andy's! WHY DID WE CHOOSE HIM?!!!

  • Simply Electric!!!

  • OMG i LOVE THIS SONG, SHE SHOULD RELEASE THIS SOON!!!!! SUCH A GREAT AND FANTASTIC SONG I LOVE HER LOADS

  • shes wooda done ay better than andy :O

    omgg why didnt she get piked

  • ANDY WAS RUBBISH

  • This should have been our song for eurovision last year. Its fantastic! Did she ever get to release it as I really wanna get it!!

  • this song rocks I love it this one or thr revelations should oof gone to the eurovishion as this aong is WICKED!!!!XX

  • this hould of been the song cuz its funky n fun our song that we choose that we LOST was crap come england we dont need the best song we need the weridest song thats wat the other contries do

  • We don't need Eurovision full stop. UK has found The Kooks, Leona Lewis, Amy Winehouse, Snow Patrol and loads of other international stars.

  • This was the favourite of the night! So if you agree this deserved to win the British entry more than Andy give me a thumbs up! Only if you wanna though! "You make me Woo yeah you make me..." I am dancing with the laptop!!! Lol!!! :D

  • She has a voice like Shakira, dance moves like Beyonce, but the face of Andre... :/

    And she would have came in last place had she got sent to Belgrade. Either way it doesn't mean her song is better than Andy Abraham's, or that Andy's was bad.

    This song is far worse but any song the UK puts forth will be destined to be at the bottom of the heap with the public voting. They should do away with that altogether and go back to juries.

  • it would have done much better than the dreadful boring turtle! Woga's fault so UK you deserved to be last! No music taste at all! Plus, the voters are too dump to vote the X Factor loser. UK will never be in top 15 unless BBC changes direction.

  • awesome.

    im still dancing to this song.

    SO should have gone to esc for us !

    Woop, you go girl, show everyone what the uk is made of :) xxx

  • the best song from this year. The studio version is awful, but when live, it's amazing!!

  • XP andy was much better

  • absolute rubbish. are they giving birth?

  • Personally, UK would have done better with Michelle and I am not British, Andy just won because hes famous from coming second in the X Factor

  • I dont watch the x factor or any of the identikit "search for another pointless one hit wonder to steal xmas no. 1 from somebody who actually deserves it" shows and I wanted andy to win because he had the best song and performance. If we had entered this then we wouldnt be joint last, wed just be last-the practically guaranteed 8 points from british diaspora in ireland but no 6 points from the sammarinese jury because this is just like any other song in the rnb charts at the minute

  • jsam93 one word for u - Leona Lewis. One hit wonder? Dnt think so. Andy's song was boring and had no conviction whereas this song was original and funky!

  • Leona Lewis is the exception, shes a two-hit wonder!

    And ORIGINAL, ha! Out of all the words that could describe this song original comes last- as I said in my original comment, its just like any other song in the rnb charts at the moment

  • Well when Leona Lewis sells thousands of records will she just be another 200-hit wonder? And this IS original, it's like something from the 60s but not too old fashioned - if u bothered to tune into the RnB charts you'd know this is nothing like RnB, it's completely different thus it's original. Just my opinion.

  • This SO should've WON!! - Even the judges wanted it to!

  • For me personally after about 1:30 it loses the plot.

  • if this had gone to esc it would had got top 15 ;)...but still is a pretty banal song,not winning one,but 100 times that the boring bad song u guys sended to esc ;)

  • this is so much better than that andy abraham shit!

  • Our best result in the recent years was 2003 with Jessica Garlick.

  • 2002;)

    in 2003 uk came last with 0points :)

  • haha how could we forget lol

  • England hasnt one a Eurovision in avery lonng time but i think if she had performed we would have got better, im not sayin we wudve won but we wud have got higher, Her song was great wen i heard it i wanted to get up and dance HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA. SHES GREAT!!!

  • So true ... This song is propper euro pop. It would have done alot better than Andy did, andy is a good artist but he's more charts rather than Eurovision

  • needs more music!!

  • However, it's all about opinion, some of you may love it, good for you ! :)

  • (for the people who've missed this point) We know that the song is here, so there's no need to buy it, we mean: would everyone who claims they are motivated to rate this 5* actually, back it up with money to buy this.

  • Would've gotten more votes, but I don't think the songs that good. Much prefer her earlier material, I wouldn't buy it and i'm sure many many people who've given the song a good rating wouldn't buy it either.

  • samey yeh yeh I'm in tilted to my opinion she is SOOOOOOO out of tune and the song is a load of rubbish Andy wasn't boring ( he stood next to me ahaha) I FELT THE NEED TO SAY THAT :L anyway were was I'm not dissin your opinion and even if all of !you! bummed this song it still makes me want to shoot myself okey dokey

  • if you think about it picture this song being on eurovision i think it would have a better chance of winning than andys song, his song sound like something that would be on the radio

  • this song makes me want to shoot myself..

    get some dancing lessons you loser

    urm no offence :/

    andy was great

  • hattie its eurovision song contest not dance. but this makes !us! want to dance andy's was boring i just didnt listen

  • this song was much better than andy should of gone through, reminds me of a song beyonce would sing !!

  • i hate her dresslmao :|

  • this was my fav

  • this song would have won ...its spot on and so catchy

  • Sorry, but there is no way the UK are ever going to win under the current voting system :-(

  • Should have sent her, for the lulz.

  • we would have done better with this song

  • Much as I love Terry Wogan, was it not he that had the casting vote which chose Andy over Michelle? Like Andy or not, the song was so far below the man's talent level and was insipid and uninspiring. In much the same way as the pirates had stuck out (in a fun way I thought) in the line-up this year, Michelle's song would have at least stuck in people's minds and made a strong impression. Then, we could have seen if the Balkan blok vote was the problem!

  • andy was definitely better

    tbh i dont really like this song or the lass's voice

    sorry michelle.

  • I was watching songs for eurovision. When I saw this one, I thought: Well, here we have the winner of eurovision 2008!!! It's a good song, it's catchy, full of energy, rythm, it's funny,... And then I realised this wasn't the one they were sending! What happened!???! The one they sent was nothing!!

  • I'm not surprised at all that UK did not get a good place, it sounds so terrible

  • pues la cancion no parece tan mala, para haber quedado la última. Lo siento (i´m sorry...)

  • Andy was alright but the problem was it was forgettable.

  • its was forgettable it was the curse of performing at the beginning

  • She used to be on eastenders a while back ... is that where you recognise her name indigojellytots?

  • tbh, i didn't like either uk song much

    i gotta agree with terry wogan though, eurovision is mostly politcal now

    bring the old eurovision back!

  • why does her name ring a bell?

    was she from liberty x?

  • I LOVE THIS SONG .... SHOULD HAVE CHOSEN HER BRITAIN! Its sooooo euro pop -- andy is good also but this is more eurovision style song.

  • i agree! its an awesome song.

  • IMO, this song was deliberately not put forward for Eurovision. This song would have had Europe going crazy to dance. Andy the Binmans song was absolutely bland and dull. It was like one of those songs you listen to in the car, but you can't change cause you're driving so you put up with it anyway. BBC

    Big Bloody CON!

    I bet they rigged the Eurovision vote like they rigged the Blue Peter ones. We finished LAST.!!!

    How embarassing is that

  • Joint last with two other people actually ;D

  • If she won UK would have had a better chance, her song is really catchy and lovable, andys is ok but not tht impressed. hers is really good ^-^ x

  • i suppose in a way u r right...

    bcoz eurovision has become so cheesy...

    i dont think its any longer about true talent...or has it ever been?

  • True True.Most countries send talented people. We shud really send some talents unlike last year. Hopefully shell go for it again next year. if thats alowed cuz i really like her performance.

  • Has to be Greece tonight....now thats a song.

  • Thank goodness this didnt win!!

  • she is dancing and acting like tina turner singing proud mary. even the dress is nearly the same. and just for that, im glad she didnt win. noone should be copying tina turner!!!

  • she song should hav won but she isnt tht gooder singer cos she gets TOO enthusiastic! xox GOOD LUCK UK IN THE EUROVISION SONG TONIGHT!!!! LOOKING FORWARD TO LOSING AND LAFFING AT FUNNY ENTRIES! AND LISTENING TO TERRY WOGAN! xox

  • same same :D

    got to love terry

  • For a moment i thought Michelle was wearing pot noodle!

  • Much better than andys offering!!!!!!!!!

  • They shaved the baboon at my local zoo when he got an infection ... he jumped around and sqwarked and complained for ten minutes.

    If they were to have put a wig on the baboon - the similaritys are quite stunning!
