Having just listened to our possible entries, surely there only 1 that can win. Storm by SuRire. I can see it being sung by the thousands of people in the arena on the night. The chorus is simple, catchy and very easy to join in with, and its got a positive message. I'm surprised i like it so much. The other girls' songs sounded like Little Mix reject songs, though i did quite like Goldstone 'I feel the love' which also sounds like an old Atomic Kitten track! Anything but that dreadful Astronaut.

God Mel is soooo annoying. Patti is going to love her in rehearsals... Really happy with our winner. Great performance. I liked the strong arms, Evita-style, doing all the work. No jumping up and down, and no silly dancing boys. I hope we can come up with a strong concept for the actual night. Already in the diary.

My prediction skills are improving. Right result on the night.
Really didn't get the love for Asanda. She was impossible to understand and was out of breath badly by the end

Yes the best song won on the night, but if they were the best 6 songs from 100's submitted, what were the others like? I can't believe we could not have come up with a better 6 songs than that. I probably thought that last year and the year before and the year before.....
On the plus side Mans is very easy on the eye.

Mans is very easy on the eye - even more so when he rips his shirt open in Love Love Peace Peace...
I think Storm will do ok. It has a strong 15 second/30 second recap potential. There is a slight Euphoria vibe to it - and she can sing the hell out of it. It was her performance tonight that won people over - she wasn't registering with a lot of the the commentators until this evening. Most of the attention was on Asanda and Jaz.
We won't win. But then that is an impossible dream.

I love the song, but think that the middle 8 needs to be stronger and have more of a punch. It drops back to the 'Storms...' refrain too quickly.
Still, i think it's one of the strongest UK entries in many years.
I didn't realise that Asandra was the favourite to win the show tonight.

I liked the song from the start - but it only really came to life live. I would like to think it will be left hand side of the board - but it is too early to tell with 80% of the songs yet to be revealed!
Asanda just couldn't cope with the routine and the singing at the same time. I played it to my housemate and she couldn't actually identify that she was singing in English!

At last a really good song for the UK with what was needed many times before - a great hook to it. As was said above the Euro crowd will be singing with it as the audience did the other night. Who decides what songs go into the melting pot - they certainly don't seem to have any idea of what is needed. Agree the other songs were not much at all. Sounds a pity Portugal are not having LED screens, the settings for the songs are a second great attraction. Lets have a Portuguese Riverdance at half time or better still let Ryan interview all the handsome male singers, I am sure it would be more fun than the corny chats in the Green Room. Fingers crossed for SuRie.
