This song way way up there for a eurovision entry! One of the best entries from the UK in years.
Quality song!
The sooner they stop the block voting the sooner quality entries like this win.
Each country should have a panel of songwriters vote ONLY and they are only allowed to hear the song on the night and base their vote on songwriting alone!
Eurovision is a disgrace to good music and to every country with a true musical taste... Having said that, the UK should really take a closer look at which song/artist represents them. All recent enties (including this) are nothing more than mediocre "talent-show tracks" - come on brits! We KNOW you can do better...
Just realised that the babe at 00:15 is in the UK ad where the couple watch their car self-destruct because the guy hasn't paid his (exhorbitant) road tax.
The compettion is a joke anyway, not just cos the voting system is flawed but because the quality of music is terrible. Of course britain is gunna come last, cos no ones gunna vote. Besides which the ppl of the uk c eurovision as a joke and their right. we dont really care, we have the best music comin from dis country anyway
(puggy444) Er, excuse me but Britain has won it FIVE times before! Check on Eurovision site if u dont beleive me! And i didnt call them racists, i just meant that central europeans arent as open in general. And as for then only racist people u know being black, well u must live in an odd neighbourhood
A black man won eurovision in 2001 so this result wasn't due to being a black man. UK has no diaspora and no friendly neighbours so a chart song like this , drawn early on, will score nothing.
Andy has a great voise!!! I'm from Serbia but I voted for Andy becouse for me he was THE BEST!!! Of course it is all about politics and it's a shame, becouse the music should matter not politics. Maybe someday... Who knows...
im from sweden,in our compttion when perelli won,a band named rongedal performed with the song just a minute, pretty much like scissor sisters and i thought that it would ahve gone great for them. but then i realize that the east wont vote for that. this isnt a music competition anymore, its all about wich country that has the most neighbors. also im angry because i voted for uk,france and spain. but none of them got any votes from sweden! i mean wtf is this? its to many east people in sweden:(
Yeah i totally agree with Kimberino and ofiuk, this should've got more points than it did. Its because he's British and he's black, has anyone noticed that the other countries enteries were all white?
It's because the voting is all political. Everyone votes for their neighbours and everyone hates britain so we dont get any votes. Sad but true. Also usually we do suck. and yay go joint 23rd position!! lol!
why was this song not number one? Can someone explain this. Look at Russia, this was a poor performance, really poor. But why was this song on the last position why No Angels, from my country?
two problems with this song, however good Andy Abraham is, and this was our best song in years. 1 he is british. Europe hates us. 2 eastern europeans are generally racist, and do not have black people in their country. We should pull out and avoid more embarresment.
oh and the russian song did have good production, they payed TIMBALAND alot fo money to do it.
If any other country produced this song then it would of won i bet ! Next year some other country will have a song like this. its just annoying that we produce the best music in the world yet in eurovision you get crap and we have a decent song yet know one will vote ! omg we should just leave its pointless i hate it !
this is an example of how our music scene in britain has no musical ability anymore, this song was shit. it was like a halifax advert or somethin. russia had the best song by far it had emotion and passion, and the production quality was brilliant. This had nothing to do with politics, most other entrys were proud of there culture and they expressed it with there enthusiasm in there music. next year ... watch im gonna bring somethin to the table for our country to be proud of.
what the fuck are you talking about.. watch those russians, serbians, bosnians and whatever.. they are all clowns.. you cannot say they can sing.. it's just that they help each other by voting for each other -.-
how could russia win with that singer? .. he didnt even hit the tones ... the performance was soooo poor! ... look at andy abraham.. he's full of positive energy ;) .. this is a winner song!
I think this song was the best one we've put in 4 ages, Britain shud just say we don't want to be spanding loads of money on the Eurovision every year and just drop out - I mean whats the point of coming last every year?
how can anyone calls this shit seriousley it was the best song out of the whole competition its good good beat good lyrics and a bonus this year from all our other shockingly shit entry from the previouse years the man can sing n its fucking awesome n two fingers up to rest of europe that dont likes us n sucking up to russias ass so they dont cut of they power n gas to the restof europe lol its all pathetic now we know andy did good thats all that matters :D
i am taking this years eurovision vote seriously because whats the point in britain being part of europe if nobody likes us :L , YOu cannot honestly say that some of the piles of crap this year were better than britains entry , Sir terry wogan was right its NO LONGER ABOUT MUSIC , ITS ABOUT POLITICS , EVen if we had fukin abba we still wouldnt get any votes!
hope fully we wont come 24th out of 25 this year....this song should get us higher! very catchy MUCH better than last years..last years was embarassing! xx
oh god andy from xfactor. wow. he needs better material. Still better than dustin. People us Irish people are not all like that. he was put there by kids and their mums
Yeah , type eurovision 2008 into google and click on the first link that comes up , thats the official eurovision 08 site . You can watch it on there for free
Sounds like Madonna's "Express yourself" and has no chance of finishing out of the bottom 4 on the night, which is a shame as it is probably one of the best songs. A combination of an early draw, the last 2 letters of the country not being i and a and no diaspora to vote for the UK means very few points if any.
We cant possibly be in the bottom 4 because we get automatic qualification to the final. The lowest place we can possibly come is 25th-and thats not even the bottom 18!
Sorry, but I still have to disagree-its a catchy and funky song and theres no other one like it in the contest. In a year like this when songs like irelands and spains make a mockery of eurovision, we cant possibly come in the bottom 4, I promise you
Its a good tune, Most people in England haven't got a clue anymore, people can't even write music anymore - they just mix someone elses and all the little sheep dance to it!
Not a great song, but the best song the UK has sent in ages. :) There are so many ballads and extreme songs this year - this is simply a good tune! :)
This kind of comments should be deleted. You shouldn't be allowed to write anywhere. Have you no shame? You may be the kind of person who never goes out because you can be assaulted, really!
Anyway. Your pathetic comment doesn't deserve more words.
About this things, I think it's one of the best. I hope UK gets a good place this year.
it is the best we have done for a while ,there are some great songs in the contest this year just look at Turkey brill...Goodluck Andy I think your gonna need it mate
The BBC were pushing Michelle soooo hard to win. It's the X-Factor watching public who rocked the boat. It's a good song, especially in comparison with our recent efforts. Good luck Andy.
