United Kingdom 2024: Olly Alexander - Dizzy

[La Peneloupée monte le son]

Whatever alternate universe the UK televote is in - send me there at once

Don't pretend you've NEVER BEEN TO THE GLORY!

 

[Una Kratz Per San Marino]

Don't pretend you've NEVER BEEN TO THE GLORY!

Well I would but it’s busy relocating!

 

[La Peneloupée monte le son]

MORE POLES, MORE HOLES

 

[ButterTart]

An extended mix is out:

 

[ButterTart]

It really is a proper banger. It was so nice to hear it multiple times at the Melodifestivalen club night on Friday. You don't often hear UK entries there; we so rarely send anything worth dancing to.

 

[Bypass]

It remains a frustrating entry..it's....nice, but I just worry its coming 25th

 

[ADONK5]

Not sure this was the choreo I was expecting:

 

[Jark]

awful

 

[Una Kratz Per San Marino]

That tells us nothing

 

[HalamaK]

It tells us he's not working on his vocals while dancing.

 

[Pingu]

It's for the music video, we've literally seen the choreo already.

 

[ButterTart]

We’re plumbing new depths finding reasons to predict DOOM if we’re passing judgement on choreo snippets for a music video we’ve already seen.

 

[Pingu]

Just to be clear, I stand by my bottom five prediction.

 

[HalamaK]

Not sure this was the choreo I was expecting:

He looks totally out of breath, we all know it's over.

 

[lolly]

 

[C’est la VoR]

Out of the Top 100 in week two. Considering they openly said that the strategy was to have a #1 hit before the contest, the collective shrug is really quite disappointing.

 

[Halli]

Not sure this was the choreo I was expecting:

Our Ollee struggles to unleash the vox standing still so this is not great footage

 

[Pingu]

THEY AREN’T REHEARSALS FOR THE PERFORMANCE

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

 

[C’est la VoR]

 

[Soldi Elektronike]

Well at least it wasn’t a vocal disaster.

 

[Pingu]

He got one of the best reactions of the night (for King, not Dizzy…)

 

[IntoTheDark]

 

[ADONK5]

Might just be his earpieces?

 

[Una Kratz Per San Marino]

That’s a much better vocal performance than I was expecting

 

[Halli]

That’s a much better vocal performance than I was expecting

Its a layered vocal but we will take it- I think Mae was shouting into the mic at this point like she was on Albert square

 

[Una Kratz Per San Marino]

Its a layered vocal but we will take it- I think Mae was shouting into the mic at this point like she was on Albert square

Good point - I think he can get away with similar on the night?

 

[ButterTart]

I've no problem with that at all

I could do with some actual choreography but I'm assuming this wasn't the sort of event where anything other than a bit of light strutting could be accommodated.

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

Pleasantly SHOCKED by the quality of the perf, he comes across as quite CHARISMATIC rather than off-putting as well.

Disgusting fashions but we KNEW THAT WAS COMING.

 

[THEY CALL ME GAJA]

Sorry but this is one of the most boring entries of the whole season

 

[Una Kratz Per San Marino]

Disgusting fashions but we KNEW THAT WAS COMING.

I hope / pray there is a semi tasteful costume in coming.

 

[KNT]

I hope / pray there is a semi tasteful costume in coming.

I fear he might look at Nemo serving chintz-plosion at the doily factory and instigate an arms war.

 

[wildchild]

I've no problem with that

That’s a much better vocal performance than I was expecting

Its a layered vocal but we will take it

All this praise

 

[C’est la VoR]

Record of the week on Radio 2.

 

[IntoTheDark]

He looks pissed off/doesn’t want to be there and I need to know WHY.

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

Disgusting fashions but we KNEW THAT WAS COMING.

My face when Olly’s stylist e-mailed me last week.

 

[Ich Carniva-la-la-la]

My face when Olly’s stylist e-mailed me last week.

What did they email you?

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

What did they email you?

They wanted to borrow clothes from the brand I work for.

 

[Ig Komme]

Imagine Olly Alexander as your brand ambassador...
