UNITED KINGDOM UK EUROVISION 2024 REACTION - OLLY ALEXANDER - DIZZY

How are you doing today, my sweet? I'm very well, you look very handsome. I went to the barbers and I got my hair did and I got my beard did and I feel like a million bucks as they say. Million bucks? You said that in England, million bucks? No one says it in England. No one says it in England. You can't say something that sounds American in... But that's how I feel. This video is specific. That's how I feel. I left the barbers like... Oh, oh, oh, oh. I had a wonderful morning. I'm very glad to

hear that. Hello. Hiya. I'm Toy. I'm Goy. And Koy is in bed. Koy is looking for the sun. He tried to... He found an area with a bit of sunshine and he sat... He went and sat underneath the clothes dryer because there was this much sun coming in through the window. And then he just stood there like... He wanted to feel like million bucks. And welcome to... Value the Music. And we are with... King. We did a joke last year. It's the big day. It's the first of March. We were all felt a bit dizzy and

we were waiting for the UK's entry for Eurovision 2024 starting after... If this is your first time in our channel... Leave a tip if you'd like. You said that.

The wonderful veterans. Veterans. I like the veterans. Well, I came to appreciate the word. I hope you gu

ys appreciate that compliment. It's important to say whatever we are saying here, we are sharing with you our honest opinion. We do not wish to offend, hurt, insult or objectifying neither the singer nor your nation, but most importantly not anybody else. However, If we are offending you, we are sorry. We've experienced that, yeah? We have experienced that. How are you feeling when we are coming to react to a song from the United Kingdom? Same way I approach parenting. Zero expectations. Wow. Ju

st keep giving, keep giving, keep giving, expect nothing back. Keep giving, are you giving what? Your license fee to BBC? Yes. Olly Alexander was announced months ago. Ages ago. AGEES AGO. And the hype was so high and personally I don't know Olly Alexander as much. What I do know about Olly Alexander is, is acting skills in... "It's a Sin" which I did not really like. But... Years and years have some good songs. He has some good songs as solo. We could be surprised. I'm leaving my baggage aside

or trying, trying to... The song title is Dizzy. And all that sums up in my head is that 80 song. I'm just hoping it doesn't sound anything like that. I thought that he didn't say that it sounds like Conkers Conkers? Conkers Conkers? I'm collecting. Nothing about Dizzy in that. It is making you dizzy if you collect too many Conkers no? Conkers has nothing to do with getting Dizzy. I don't know about the song. If Conkers lands on your head. Well, it'll hurt. But... It'll hurt. OK, besides that, a

ny expectations? I imagine it's going to be electro-upbeat. From some of the things he said he was like, "Oh, it's going to be a gay party along those lines." And that's a fine line between being cheese and good. So I'm hoping we straddle the right side of the line. Just want to enjoy it. To be honest, I really want to enjoy it. I want to be behind the UK entry. I want to have the feeling I had when we listened to May muller's song. But for that feeling to translate into the live. Because... We

all know what happened last year. As a studio, I wrote a song. It's a banger. Yes, I will still stand behind it as a studio. He has had a career performing, so hopefully we aren't going to have that kind of car crash. OK, let's do it. Don't say let's do it, because you know who we sound like. Let's watch together. Definitely aren't them. The UK's entry for Eurovision 2024. Starting... Oh, it's a video not a performance. No, why would it perform? I thought it was meant to be performing at somewh

ere. I think tonight. Why are you putting so much pressure on Olly already? I just... Just... The postman's here. OK, I'm enjoying the instrumental so far. It's all synthy and it's nice. It's developing layers of synth. It sounds like it's building to somewhere. So do you remember the last few years when there's been a big deal about what the UK's doing? And they're like, "Oh, we're working with TAP Records." Oh, and these people who've produced for Dua Lipa are producing. And the songs have nev

er sounded like to that caliber. This is sounding like it's to that caliber. OK. Yeah. OK. Where's it going? I don't know. I'm feeling a bit dizzy. I thought it was going to be a bit more happy. And I'm not sad that it has more of a mood. OK. I hope there's a second part to the chorus. Like some kind of instrumental little break. Because it's very good. The chorus wasn't that much of an exciting change from the verse. No. And I can't say to you at this point that it makes me really excited. No.

It's nicely produced. Yes. I'm going to be the critic because we are speaking the English language. The words aren't very inspired. They're fine. I remember that I forgot something and it really bothers me that I'm not wearing it. Oh. Wait a second. Oh. Maybe I felt the need to remind Olly Alexander something. That second verse was a bit more exciting and the drum fill and the transition into the chorus was a bit more impactful. It's very, very nice. But it's not filling me with like, wow. I mea

n. Like May muller's song really got me excited and then crashed. But we're only halfway through. But we're at a point and we haven't elevated beyond that point. It's all steady. It feels quite steady. For a song to be out there in Eurovision, to be remembered, to be, to get people excited and on board with it, it needs to have this, it needs to have this twist. Maybe there will be a twist in the remaining time that the song has. And we have reacted to already 20 plus songs. Some of them grabbed

us from the fast moment. Some of them. Grabbed us for the wrong reasons as well. Grabbed us from the wrong reasons. And I said it in one of the videos, when a song is mediocre, it's the worst thing that a song can have in Eurovision. Yeah. And I feel Dizzy is a mediocre song. Yeah. There's nothing wrong. I'm so sorry. The production is lovely, but it feels very static. And in a way. From the beginning to the chorus, we haven't changed much. And in a way, very safe. Yes. And. It does feel safe.

But when we say safe in Eurovision, it's not necessarily a good news for a song. Yeah. A song needs to make you feel something. Most of the songs we felt strongly angry did very well in the competition. Yeah. Having a feeling either way is much better than just. And I'm a bit. Okay. Oh, he's doing Pilates as well. Quite vocally. I don't want to say flat, but unexciting as well. And now what? Is he going to dance? Are they going to bring a sandpit? Video is cool. The video is cool, but it's like

it's showing you that he can move, he can dance and doing all of that. Is he going to do it while he's performing? Probably not, because that will affect his vocals. So you'll have to have probably dancers. As long as he doesn't have trombones that dancing around him, that would be good news. But. And again, I would say it's quite disappointing it's mediocre. Yeah. It just feels all at one level. But I'm glad we didn't go in that gay camp root. Yes. Okay. I'm very glad we didn't go there. I was

expecting. There is a mood to this. There is a mood. A bit. I was expecting Sequin, Camp, Drag Queens, the works. But it's not. And I'm glad. It's just a nice song. There was a lot of hype around the fact that Olly Alexander is going to represent the UK, the UK for some reason, for whatever reason. I don't know how this is working. I don't know how the odds are working before the songs are being released. He was spending there in the first place for a few weeks and then he was still staying in t

he top five for longer. I am so sorry. I think that the UK would be very lucky if they escape from the bottom five. It's fine. And again, it's not because the song is bad. It's absolutely fine. It's not because the song is bad. We got it completely wrong with Spaceman. I think they made something in the performance that elevated Sam. Sam as a persona and the staging was outstanding. They made the whole package because Sam brought some vulnerability to his own performance. People could have conne

cted to it. Now, Olly probably will rely on his fan base. The fan base is big out there. Would it be enough to get the UK top 10? No. Top 20? Maybe. It's sitting there with other male electronic songs in the contest which are significantly more exciting. Okay. And the songs really progress. Exactly my point. That song goes somewhere. It starts, it hooks you and by the end you're like, "Wow." This started and went, "Look at me. This is all I'm going to do for three minutes." And the song was very

anticlimactic. Didn't feel like there was any difference between the verses and the chorus. And that's disappointing. It is and maybe we are a bit more critical when it comes to the UK. Maybe. Because we are in the UK. We want our country. I want to love it. We want our country. I want to feel like I did last year before May Muller did the same. Yeah, but you know what? Lyrically this was fine. Musically it was fine. It's all just fine and that's not enough. They need really to step up the stag

ing in order to... I can't imagine what to do because it doesn't feel upbeat enough to do a big showy thing. But it doesn't feel moody enough to do a moody thing. It doesn't give you that... No, it wasn't making me go, "It doesn't give you that." So it's kind of a dance. Slow dance. But slow dance. I'm disappointed, I have to say. I'm not because I had no expectations. No, I'm glad it's not... Tripe. Tripe because it's not a tripe. But I was hoping to be excited and it didn't bring any wow. Wow

factor is missing. Big time. Let us know in the comments below what you thought about the UK entry for Eurovision 2024 and Apologies. Don't Apologies for having feelings and being honest.
