Love or hate Olly Alexander I felt really sorry for him last night especially when the camera homed in on him just as it was announced that he'd received zero points in the public vote. This was the only time the camera bothered with him which was rather sad as at one stage he'd reached the left hand side of the scoreboard. I thought the song had a fairly catchy chorus, and would possibly get stuck in your head whether you like it or not - I think they call it an earworm! I considered it a rather ordinary radio track and tbh I'm surprised it garnered as many points as it did. The song had cutesy and tender lyrics, so why on earth did they stage it with a group of half dressed blokes grinding and thrusting their bits and bobs in each other's faces with what looked like a filthy public lavatory as a backdrop?! The whole atmosphere of the contest was horrible with all the booing and jeering - it's supposed to be a song contest fgs! I'm glad Switzerland won in the end, great song, great staging and great vocals.
I'll admit that I can't take to Olly Alexander and I can't quite pinpoint why...There's just something about him that makes my skin crawl but I didn't like to see him humiliated. Who else watched and what did you think?
