This song has clearly passed me buy because I couldn’t even remember how it goes, and even on first listen today I still don’t get it.
Your man is like the indie kid at the bottom of the street that strums the guitar and plays in the local band for thruppence-ha’apenny but somehow made it big. He looks completely lost on the stage, and yet in every press conference he claims that he is confident; even if the look in his eyes suggests otherwise.
He is wooden and looks at one camera like his life depends on it. His backing singers are a mile behind him and it just looks badly presented. Vocally…. we’ll it’s all right, a bit light on the substance but a heavy song would not suit his voice so at least he has got that bit right. My only worry is that it’s going to be so underperformed that it won’t hide the flaws in the song.
Sadly, I think its going to be one of the six failures, despite the Irish probably giving it 12 points, I can’t see where the rest of the 25 points it will probably need will come from.
Edit 1 – He’s put dark specs on…. oh dear!!
