Vocal Coach Reacts to Olly Alexander 'Dizzy' UK Eurovision 2024 

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! 🤦🙄

It's growing on me

Agree!! Inspirational lady xxx

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.

His performance on Saturday night takeaway was all lip synced. Ant & Dec made it fun

Also Mae Muller was shockingly bad

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

Olly never shies away from a performance.

his performance on Saturday night takeaway was brill

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

Astonishing it sure was; to watch him fall flat on his face in this anti-gravity, eardrum destroying performance!

It couldn’t get much worse than that.

The top half of the bottom 5 😅

I particularly liked the fade out (the part where he makes no noise at all).

at least you wish so 😉

That's nice, but than it's evidently not punchy enough to win a crowd in one attempt ...

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.

Yes he does. Good call.

Was just thinking reminds me of Savage Garden!

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..

Yup, sounds like late '90s Russian pop to me.

I am definitely voting for this 🇬🇧❤️

Like Fievel Mousekewitz, from an American Tail.

I think it grows on you I wasn’t sure on the first listen

I don’t think she can say much about it because singing in that song is not what makes this song.

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!

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

As a musical analyzer, the lyrics and video of this song are a clear example of a puja and satire of Israel and Palestine that many are asleep 😴 and not allan analyzed it makes me understand that quite a few are asleep, the line that was crossed, the flowers that are grown in the place of war, the kisses, the bombs, the dizziness, the hunger, how Europe has not realized this work of art cast in repetitive music.

the video shows you the devastation of the places at war the houses destroyed and in ruins the eyes means the eyes of the world in the face of war God how much meaning, if the public has not been able to see the message malmo yes it will and to complete the boy sings very well.

Same here. I tried to re-educate his Ollygans and all the honest vocal-coaches on RU-vid 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 ...

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
