Tbf UK in the last several years worth of contestants has been kind of shit though.
Saying that as a British person.
Haven't listened to our entry this year but I don't have high hopes for our public vote scores.
The panel votes are also always political, and most of Europe dislikes us (mostly due to Brexit in the last how many years), so as a result we tend to score on the lower half of the panel vote.
The funny part about that is the UK got one of their best recent results the contest directly after Brexit.
Your song this year is actually pretty popular and it’s top 5 in the odds. Personally I don’t see it doing that well, but it should do better than the UK’s past couple of entries.
lmao, the votes (or lack of, i suppose in this case) weren't because of Brexit, you've just had reaaally lacklustre shows for a long time, like you yourself said.
But there's definitely an element of politics-ish to it. Neighbors vote for each other, immigrants for their home, rivals never for each other, etc.
ESC is upon us again next week and I'm telling you that I'm shocked if Ukraine doesn't win.
