Now, all the polls and the betting tell me that at time of writing, this is the pre-contest favourite so what’s all the hype about?
Well, for the first minute, you could be forgiven for thinking you were watching Chingiz’s video from several days ago, because Duncan is underwater too.
It reminds me very much of Loic’s song from a couple of years ago – only slightly less happy – but with the same haunting melody that had, and I can almost see it on a black and white stage with yer man singing and some ethereal dancing.
I’m not sure, though, if it’s instant enough for the televoters, but those old male juries are going to lap it up as a paragon of songwriting.
Expect it to be up there, but I don’t think it has that wow factor that will make the televoters pick the phone up enough to make it the winner. But what do I know?
Phil’s score – 8 points
