I like this. It's so british and the vocals are great!
I'm addicted to this song. Great job 🇬🇧
Apparently the stage designer for the it's a sin brits performance is also doing the set design for the UK Eurovision entry
That is the only comforting factor in all this ...
We definitely need good choreography. UK always lacks that at Eurovision. All the other countries go all out and we embarrassingly don’t! 🤦🙄
I agree with you. This is a really great song ! And I'm surprised that so far so many people have been "disappointed" when reacting to it. There's honestly nothing to be disappointed about! It's a real contender in my opinion.
People can have their reasons to be dissapointed and that’s just as okay as your opinion which you’re stating as a fact.
It’s subjective, not objective.
I hope you're right, I want to be able to believe Sam Ryder wasn't a fluke
Well we are disappointed because we were not allowed to express our opinion on who will represent us at Eurovision. Many other European countries actually hold public competitions and secondly the song is quite basic it’s nothing cultural so it won’t win.
It's a serviceable song but that's all.
Personally, I think it's because it's trying too hard to fit some early 2000s style Eurovision song. Also, it's trying too hard to go for a mid-European sounding chord progression and we never get anywhere when we attempt to replicate sounds.
Not only that but the song doesn't really pack a punch or go anywhere... It just sounds the same, the whole way through. There's nothing about it that stands out or gives us any "OMG" kind of reaction.
The ONLY thing that could help is dependent on his staging, camera work and lighting... But we still won't win.
@@Craigy2818 There, you've sad it: the chord progression is to blame; it's descending, which (to me) makes it sound rather whiny, or boring. It certainly does not built up to some real 'tension' or climax.
Love it a huge fan pf Olly and Years & Years here
I really really like this song. 12 points from The Netherlands 🇳🇱
I completely agree with you as usual Georgina… I love it. Apart from Sam’s fantastic song this is the best entry we’ve had for a very long time ❤️🎤🎶🎧
Love this!!!!!! X
The song does grow on you which is what we want. Remember, the Common Linnets didn’t really take off until that semi final and final performance in 2014. Good luck Olly and great review by the way. ❤️👍🏻
It's growing on me
12 for Switzerland from UK❤❤❤❤
I love this song! I dont care if we dont win its a winner in my eyes ❤

Brilliant Olly. ❤
Sublime ❤
Come on UK! Hopefully top 10 at least!
Ah, Georgina dearest, you became my go-to content creator to watch when I'm having lunch so I will subscribe to your channel! 🫶
You need to watch his performance on ant and Dec Saturday night takeaway he was amazing olly will be amazing at eurovision he has the passion and understands the risk that comes from doing eurovision. He will be amazing and he is doing the eurovision pre partys too. Olly will be amazing I'm proud of the uk 🇬🇧 we have finally had a glow up and it's thanks to Sam ryder and mae muller too ❤❤❤.
His performance on Saturday night takeaway was all lip synced. Ant & Dec made it fun
Also Mae Muller was shockingly bad
usually I'm not impressed by UK propositions, but that is that one that stole my heart.
the song is really nice!
I really like this song, I don't know what others expected since I saw so many negative opinions about this song. I'll be surprised if this doesn't make the top 10. I hope the performance is as interesting as the music video.
Love Olly. Dizzy is so catchy. 💖
Great song, 12 points from Poland
Such a great song, let’s hope he can give us a great performance too 🇬🇧
Olly never shies away from a performance.
his performance on Saturday night takeaway was brill
Tom Grennan did a similar thing to the Virtual Insanity video on Saturday Night Takeaway last year. There's also a behind the scenes video. Both are on UA-cam.
Love that the uk has chosen a current, already established artist who is a genuine fan of Eurovision
No we didn’t get to choose he was chosen by BBC it’s not fair
@@stefanig4834actually Olly offered himself up to the BBC, they didn’t choose him
First I thought it was an average song, kinda disappointment! But the more I listen to it, the more it grows. Well done Olly. You are having a career, whatever happens in Malmö ❤
My favourite this year and I'm normally very disappointed with our entry. Great vocals, catchy melody and with good staging he will do well.
This song is a banger what an amazing masterpiece it feels so british .12 points from France to United Kingdom
You must be kidding, right?
😮😮@@radosawrusnak7700
Thank you 🎉❤🇬🇧🇫🇷
Bisous. Je T’aime France
I'm from France as well and definitely 12 points from France with a lot of love
I just love Olly. He's such a pure soul that deserves everything good in life!!!!
I adore his vocal so much♥️
This song really reminds me of Steps - think it's the bells in the background..
Olly for the win!!!!! He’s fabulous ❤ 🇬🇧🌀
I love Olly's voice !😊
Great song! 😃 Great vocals! 😊
Definately better than last years entry. Not a winner but will finish in top half.
It couldn’t get much worse than that.
The top half of the bottom 5 😅
It has some nostalgic notes that are just getting me somewhere. Love this song.
The song is good and has a nice beat. Could do well .
Olly alexander is the winner of Eurovision 2024. 🎉❤
at least you wish so 😉
I needed more of the spoken part. That is my favourite part.
I particularly liked the fade out (the part where he makes no noise at all).
One part reminded me of Adam rickett I breathe again for those old enough lol
can't wait to have your opinion for the portugal song!!!
Thank you for your comments ! I like him so much ! Idem for Belgium and Mustii !
He’s great live, so hat will be good.
Sounds like Steps - deeper shade of blue
this song makes me wanna move and dance. i love it. so happy with our entry, i've been a fan on Years and Years for years (try saying that 3 times haha)
Dizzy it's a grower, i like it more and more.
So i can't wait for your reaction to Switzerland this year
This SHOULD have done well - it's an astonishing production in all aspects. Talented performer, great vocals, a really accomplished electro/house track that's really well mixed, and a totally sick video. Plus the live performance, with its choreography and weird anti-gravity, was stunning. But you can't legislate for Eurovision voting, Brexit, Iraq, etc.....
Astonishing it sure was; to watch him fall flat on his face in this anti-gravity, eardrum destroying performance!
Met G at Albert Dock last year ahead of a Eurovision Semi-Final…was absolutely lovely!
It's growing on me ever so slightly
That's nice, but than it's evidently not punchy enough to win a crowd in one attempt ...
Hello! It's sounds like Darren Hayes voice.
Yes he does. Good call.
Was just thinking reminds me of Savage Garden!
It's always a pleasure to hear your comments. I can't wait to hear your reaction to the entry from the Netherlands. YOU'LL BE AMAZED!
The song was written and performed by Joost Klein. He is a great artist in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Austria, among others. The song seems political but that's certainly not the case. Around the age of 13, he lost both his parents in a short period of time. His father (dad) told him that the world has no boundaries and that when he grows up he should go out into the wide world. He makes that journey in the video. As a child, he had promised his parents that he would one day perform at the Eurovision Song Contest. Through various therapies, he is now ready to burn off the bored things from his past and follow his father's advice.
She might be amazed but she probably won’t like or love it.
Europapa-papa-papapapa; It's the best hook so far!
@@bornwithoutconsentobviouslyShe won't like it.
@@ar50000 Probably not. I'm Dutch. The lyrics are really, really funny though.
Reminds me of Doe Maar, back in the day.
I love Ollys voice so so much! Saw Years & Years live a few years ago and also his live performance was AMAZING! 🤩 he really can perform!
The UK performance on the night was woeful (car crash) and got exactly the score it deserved (ZERO from the public!). Highlighting the magic of hiding behind recorded music v live performing.
the ending needs more power when it is performed live. I am afraid it will be like last year. Especially because we have austria this year and lithuania and sweden that are kinda similar. Last year we'll liked the studio version but live was not good.
Excited to see this live because Olly is an absolute demon in front of the cameras. I *think* they’re holding back on something….I wonder if Danny L Harle has also done a ‘Eurovision remix’?
Respectable entry but way too common pop. Top 10 possible but not a winner
To be honest, I really don't like most of the bookies' favourites this year, maybe except Italy, Switzerland and the Netherlands. So perhaps Olly can do better than expected. I certainly think he has top10 potential.
@@bachelierdrole I feel the same too. I think Olly definitely does have top 10 potential, but with amazing vocals (which he does have judging from him performing this live last week), an amazing stage performance (Olly did say he wants to do something memorable, and also had a spinning stage when he performed this on Ant and Dec) and a few touches to the song (which has been hinted at by both Olly and the producer), he could possibly even get top 5. Can he win? Eh, he has quite low chances but he potentially can if he gets VERY, VERY lucky on the night. I also love Italy, Switzerland and Netherlands, but I can see Switzerland possibly not doing as great as expected (the song seems very complex to sing live, but we'll just have to wait and see). I feel like if Olly accomplishes all these things, he will definitely get very high on the leaderboard. It's like with Sam Ryder, not many people expected him to get as high as 2nd place, but even he made a few touches to his song (the guitar solo) which ended up playing a huge factor on his score. The only time we can really predict a winner is once we see all the performances, and this year feels one of the strongest so far.
italy and greece are both favourites and both theirs are common pop so..
Olly Alexander / Years Years is very talented and I freaking love this song and the way he sings. The video is supercool, very modern song, perfect for radio. I think Dizzy is almost too good for Eurovision. An a class famous successful singer with great of tunes of hits. I think you guys in U.K will make it to the top this year! Good Luck! By the way, I'm Swedish and I do hope Sweden will winn with a the great popsong if not this song :)
I'll wait to see and hear the live version on the Eurovision stage to make the final judgment on this one. It wouldn't be the first time I loved the studio version, and hated the other one.
At last someone who really appreciates Olly for being the fantastic singer he is ❤
👏👏👏🔥🔥
A lot of people in the Eurovision fandom are disappointed by this song. I don't know what they were expecting. I actually like it , okay not one of my favourites or anywhere close to them but it's okay.
I think it grows on you I wasn’t sure on the first listen
Reminds me of Savage Garden/Darren Hayes. Olly's duets with Kylie sound really good 🎉 Love this tune!
I desperately want to erase the memory of last year's
It is a very good song, he has a beautiful voice! ❤
Finally! A good review. The Eurovision Fandom overhyped poor Olly SO much it was always going to be a struggle to please everyone. Bottom line, song is a bop! And you KNOW this is going to be staged excellently. I think the ending of this is going to be revamped as well for the live finals.
I can't say that I like this video, but do like the quality of the performance. Hope he does well, ideally top 5, win? it's impossible to say, I went to Liverpool last year and would be delighted to go to another UK hosted Eurovision in 2025!
Am i the only one hearing this song that it sounds exactly to a song i have heard before in the 90s?
Yup, sounds like late '90s Russian pop to me.
This won’t win Eurovision, but it is my number 1 song this year. Amazing vibe, I love it. 12 points from 🇪🇸.
I see UK winning jury again! Fingers crossed it’s enough televote to finally take that trophy!
I am definitely voting for this 🇬🇧❤️
I like it. We know he’ll be good live.
One of my favorites. Love his special voice 🙌👍
Like Fievel Mousekewitz, from an American Tail.
I eagerly await what you think of the Dutch entry🇳🇱🇳🇱
I don’t think she can say much about it because singing in that song is not what makes this song.
I'm absolutely loving Olly and the song ...fingers crossed 🤞🤞🤞
The UK is my current winner (and has been in every top I've done yet).
Croatia RIM TIM TAGI DIM
Jamiroquai? Not what I expected you to refernce, I would have thought Dancing on the Ceiling
Album by Lionel Richie.
It's good but not good enough. Like, it's a grower. They obviously chose Olly because he can perform decently live and there's a staging concept here.
Good song. I like it. 0
It's a solid entry but feel the latter half needs a bit of extra kick to maximise its potential. Maybe there'll be more instrumental breaks to allow for sophisticated choreography in the live performance? My gut feeling is that it could score well if sufficiently elevated - I Wrote A Song by contrast just didn't really lend itself to a live performance.
Recently I noticed that I hear a lot of the Years & Years back catalogue in supermarkets as Muzak. In that sense, this is a solid entry!
Sounds like troye Sivan and rush. But Olly is amazing ❤
this has grown on me so surprisingly. i think its success is very dependent on the live performance tho
Absolutely adore the song and the vocals but I feel it will blur into the background of the competition.
I like it, we won't win, but I like the PSB/Erasure vibes from it.
4:02 plus the cost of hosting
I do agree with you about the the song itself being great, and I do realise I'm writing this with the benefit of hindsight, but I was worried about this singer representing the UK right from the get-go. Olly has a great _recording_ voice and I've certainly loved many songs of his (and Y&Ys), especially King. However, his _live_ voice isn't the strongest and this is something I was concerned about. Also, from the purely voting point of view, I was worried he might go too sexual for some people's tastes, particularly in Eastern Europe. In the event, I was unfortunately correct, even though I personally don't see anything wrong at all with how he chose to showcase the song from an artistic point of view. I think it was harsh to say the least to get "null points" from the voting public, but I was sadly not surprised it wasn't a high scre.
Eurovision 2025 Yorkshire
Italy + UK =
React to 🇮🇱 it's my fave so far
I wasn't a fan when I first heard it I felt a bit "meh" BUT I love it now, fingers crossed for a good staging, maybe even similar to the music video! We all know Olly is a great performer, and it's definitely going to help the "big 5" can perform in the semi finals now too!
Disappointed it's not a live performance reaction because I'm not convinced it will replicate in the arena. Not a hugely big difference like last year, but . .
It's a good song.....as a single from a Olly Alexander album. It just hasn't that Eurovision magic (just my humble useless opinion lol!!)
Ehhh... I'm going to get a lot of haters, and I'm open to being proved wrong in a couple of month s... While I like the song, respect it's a Gen Z song whose genre is just out of range of what I really like but could listen to casually... I think with the quality of songs this year, it's going to end up near the bottom. It's good, but doesn't fit the Eurovision mold to maximize points. And that's why I love the contest; even last-place songs can be bangers to the right people and I can find some favorites within them!
That being said, with good stage direction, I'd be willing to bump up my prediction to middle of the pack.
Isn’t only already an established artist?
Yes, and? Many established artists have performed at ESC over the years, it's not a requirement to be unknown to be able to take part
I think he sounds like Michael Jackson
He uses the same, rather unpleasant, register. If he had only taken some singing lessons before his career took off. His speaking voice suggests that he has a perfectly normal baritone. While singing he always sounds squeezed.
Think he sounds like Michael Jackson? You must be joking
My favorite song from Eurovision 2024. 🇬🇧🇬🇧
We will not win because it is to do more with politics than the music.
You know I'm always wondering how England dominates Europe's/USA's music scene and it's so influential, but at the same time you people fail to be in the final top-10! Good song it reminds me a lot of YY's music genre.
This song is actually quite good. But I wonder how good it's gonna be live. I saw Olly Alexander live once and it was horrible. He wasn't really able to sing a single song well, out of breath all the time. So he really needs to dance as little as possible.
Same here. I tried to re-educate his Ollygans and all the honest vocal-coaches on UA-cam for months about his very challenged Live-vocals. I was just flabbergasted how they all kept defending him until the last moment. He needs to re-think his own perception of his voice completely. Guy needs to learn to sing from scratch, 3 to 5 tones lower than what he's used to.
If he'd bring out his new album soon after this, it would be a disaster.
But, yeah, Dizzy as a radio-edit was a nice-enough song ...
