Yeah, I would say that our song wasn’t a bad one. But the live performance was weak and that let us down.
I think, and last year is the proof of this, we need a stand-out superb song and singer to do really well with the juries, as Sam did last year. As I do think that the ‘European familiarity’ of other musical styles counts against us in the voting. We were just as good as some of the songs that scored above us, but we have to do better to ‘punch through’. And I’m not saying that our song should have won but it wasn’t as bad as bottom two. I mean, those dirges from Portugal and Spain…?!
