We won't win Eurovision with this song, Lloyd Webber

[chirpychirpy]

Lloyd Webber made it so obvious he wanted Jade to win that I suspected the voting may go against her because of it. But it seemed like he'd written his Eurovision song for her and he got his wish. Not only did it best suit Jade's style, it sounded like something composed for an X Factor winner, so Lloyd Webber is well aware of Leona Lewis and Alexandra Burke's success over the last two years. But it sounded even more like a number by Gerladine, Peter Kay's alter ego - particularly the silly lyrics. There is no way the UK can win Eurovision with that song. What do you think?

To add: probably because ALW has tapped into the X Factor winner-style market, the song is not outstanding or special. Unlike what grovelling Graham Norton claimed, it ain't memorable either. I'm not sure ALW can be forgiven for the way he brought Jade into the contest either - bypassing thousands of others and put straight through to the second round. Hmmmm.

I thought last week's sing-off was a cover, to make Jade's chances seem anything but certain. And boy did ALW milk the story of Jade's parents. Sorry but an unpopular Ulrika Jonsson winning Celeb Big Bro has put my faith in TV phone votes at an all-time low.

we wont win anyway because of the politics, regardless of how good the act is

[Rosetta]

We won't win , full stop. Its time to pull out of the competition

It was a typical LLoyd Webber ballad I thought it was a great song suitalbe for Eurovision! On the night Jade sang it best! It still won't win as politics take over on Eurovision night, but I think the song will be a hit and a big career move for Jade! Andrew LLoyd Webber is a brilliant composer and not afraid to face up to critics !

I liked the song like you Mary T, but I liked 'The Twins' interpretation of it, I'm sure it could be a winner with them, fresh faced,different, lovely girls.
Yes ALW pushed for a sympathy vote going on about Jade's parents. Other parents wern't discussed.
What is it about all these gospel type singers? all trying to be another Witney Housten.
The Twins would have got us a win. you'll see.

i agree i thought the twins rendition was there best performance to date

[blackcat77]

I thought that Jade performed it best, but I don't like the song at all! It sounded a very typical Andrew Lloyd Webber song to me and you could imagine it being in one of his musicals (and they got in a world beating prize songwriter for the lyrics!) but I don't think that it's right for Eurovision.

Having watched last nights show, have you ever seen anyone so completely in love with himself as last years Russian winner?! (his name escapes me - )

I thought the song had been written by diane warren

[gelda]

I thought Jade was another Leona Lewis- Alexandra Burke clone, too many of them as far as I'm concerned!!

All the way through the competition it was obvious that Jade was going to win. ALW even let it (sort of) slip that he had written the song for Jade. I accept that Jade is the best all-round performer but...

The twins' version of the song had a lot more chance of winning Eurovision than Jade's. Or, at least, getting a decent way up the board.

No way we'll get anywhere near the top now.

A couple of sqeaking Polish ferrets have a much better chance than this young lady. Our greatest success has come with songs sung from internationally known stars. But who will risk the humiliation. To be perfectly honest I have found it to be a bit of a bore over recent years. So much so I find myself fal.........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Agree that it's not a winner. Only saw a bit of it in Harry Hill's TV burp tonight but think he got it spot on when he dressed up as judges from different country who all awarded it "nil points".
