THIS, THIS is what we want from the UK! This was one of my favourites in 2011. Not so good live performance but the song is freaking awesome. Now it's like UK has given up...
2009 and 2011 showed: If UK wants, it can sent brilliant entries and get remarkable votes. Don't forget that in 2009 UK came fifth, in 2011 got a respectable place in jury voting.
Blue are as professional as they come but this was far from their best performance. I've heard some claim there was a problem with their mics but I'm not sure if this true.
They should send Simon webbe on his own (on the right). He is the songwriter of the group and has the most stable voice. Also i checked his first 2 solo albums and he had some brilliant tracks.
I can (great pun I know). I’m both Irish and British and patriotism aside (goes to both countries lol) I think Jedward was better. Jk how the hell could anyone think that 🤣
There was problems with Lee's vocal defenetly😕 he sang most of the song and it was for me... flop. Big flop. But the song saved it all and they deserved their place. If the performance would be better, it would be higher!
agree with you, happened the same to Amir this year. He was the favorite til the 1st rehearsal and finally felt down to the 6-7 th place. Even with a veary good final Televotes killed him
The problem is that the juries judge the final rehearsal and not the performance on the night........I remember that it was said that they had more technical problems in the final rehearsal than they had in the final.
these new esc fans keep on dislikng the old esc songs, cuz they actually cant understand that these were the good songs and not the songs like georgia 2016 or ukraine..
Never published, but from the jury score you can tell: 12 🇬🇷 10 🇧🇦 08 🇷🇺 07 06 05 04 🇲🇩 03 02 🇮🇹 01 Ireland got at least six points, and Austria scored, too. The UK was given no more than three by the public (as they had two from the jury panel).
I loved the song before the contest (studio version), but it was so embarrassing to hear them sing live :-( For a group who had a worldwide success a few years before ESC, their singing was unbelievable weak. A pity. 11th place was the best the UK could have ever hoped for. I am not sure if Blue can sing good live. Their album was very good though. Duncan was the best of them (as always).
That lead singer with the high notes are seriously screeching and annoying as all hell. It's way too high for him as well. The outfits look terrible too.
Excelente canción! 🤩Pero qué mal que no la hayan cantado bien en la final del festival! 😔 Era la hora de la verdad. Great song! But bad live performance. 👎🏼 They would have won, if they had not sung badly.
One of the fewest songs from UK that I like, deserved top 5.
They placed 5th in televoting
I never
get tired of listening to this song
If I were on the jury, I wouldn't listen to anyone else and would give first place to these guys! Love you, BLUE 💙💙💙💙
Another amazing potential winner song screwed by the live performance back in 2011..
music is life and love Yep
Why?
I CAN 😔✊
I WILL😠🤜
I KNOW 😦👈
I CAN 😌👆
THIS, THIS is what we want from the UK! This was one of my favourites in 2011. Not so good live performance but the song is freaking awesome. Now it's like UK has given up...
5th in televoting, 22nd in jury voting.. This deserved more points from the juries.
Allegedly Lee Ryan completely messed up the high notes in the jury rehearsal, which explains the low score.
Shame that they were so underrated with the juries! I voted for them! Still listening to this in 2017! Love from 🇲🇹💋
They got 11th thats better then last
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
1:39 What a wink!! A very powerful team, song and performance 🥇 The United Kingdom, twelve points!!
2009 and 2011 showed:
If UK wants, it can sent brilliant entries and get remarkable votes.
Don't forget that in 2009 UK came fifth, in 2011 got a respectable place in jury voting.
Wouldn't call 22nd 'respectable'.
Not jury but televoting lol
the best UK entry.
Best song and nummer that year 😀😉
Great song such a shame the sound was so off and lee had a strained voice
Despite not reaching the high notes, still the best British entry in ten years as the song is really great. Ask more professional artists next time.
Nalanda Tendar for me the best in last 10 year is Molly - Children Of The Universe :) this one is 2nd best
Blue are as professional as they come but this was far from their best performance. I've heard some claim there was a problem with their mics but I'm not sure if this true.
Sorry but Lucie is the best one by far
I really like this song I CAN LOVE YOU BLUE FROM INDONESIA
Lee’s voice 🔥🔥🔥
All in blue's voice is great❤❤❤❤❤❤💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Such an underrated song 😔 😔 😍 😍
One of the best of the year!
They truly put soul and technique in this performance ❤
They should send Simon webbe on his own (on the right). He is the songwriter of the group and has the most stable voice. Also i checked his first 2 solo albums and he had some brilliant tracks.
The last time I truly liked my countries entry.
Poor Lee having to hit those notes
such a good and underrated song
This was one of my favourite song of esc 2011 but let down by the poor performance.
It wasn't that bad, much better than Azerbaijan.
Or hungary who was my favorite before the live performance
This and 2017 felt like the UK's only serious attempts in the last decade. They were also their best placings (though 2017 deserved a lot more).
Can't believe the juries ranked this below Jedward!
Charlie Harrison We in Denmark gave 12 points to Jedward :P
Charlie Harrison Well I like this song and Blue. But Jedward's live performance was better than this.
Jedward's song was more original so no surprise and let's be honest, the studio version is better than the live.
I can (great pun I know). I’m both Irish and British and patriotism aside (goes to both countries lol) I think Jedward was better.
Jk how the hell could anyone think that 🤣
We could have been Top 3 if Lee's voice had showed up. I felt so bad for him
I really love THIS, FROM SPAIN 2020 🇪🇸
The winner of the year 2011
Aaaaand only Bulgaria gave 12 points to UK!
One of my favourite songs from 2011. One of the greatest UK entries to this day. Why did the juries rank it so low ? :(
because its bad tbh
One of my fav songs in 2011. In live performance there was some problems. But I still like the song.
There was problems with Lee's vocal defenetly😕 he sang most of the song and it was for me... flop. Big flop. But the song saved it all and they deserved their place. If the performance would be better, it would be higher!
Yup it was Lee.
When the juries screwed us over :(
Strangely enough, it's one of the only times when the juries gave us a worse position than the televote.
It must be due to the bad rehearsal, that's why i prefer juries to vote the live final performance...
Alex4u I'd prefer both as a safeguard, but yeah.
buh buh ugly
agree with you, happened the same to Amir this year. He was the favorite til the 1st rehearsal and finally felt down to the 6-7 th place. Even with a veary good final Televotes killed him
2011 was the best eurovision.
Worthy in top 10 or 11
From Spain 12 points.
Love this song.
Trop puissant...beauté et talent...le top
The song and performance were both very meh but the juries are so wrong for trashing the UK like that
George Austin Tay The performance was quite bad but lees earpiece Broke i think
The problem is that the juries judge the final rehearsal and not the performance on the night........I remember that it was said that they had more technical problems in the final rehearsal than they had in the final.
J'adore la musique de eurovision song contest 2011 united Kingdom
No puedo dejar de escucharla.
My favorite my winner from Spain
Amazing 🇬🇧❤️
This is such a banger! Unfortunately it is one of the flattest performances ever in ESC:(
blue
Underrated
Real winners.
I saw Jan Vertonghen
❤️
I love it
My God the two blonds from the left... 😍🤤
Blue ❤❤❤❤❤LEE ❤❤❤❤May 2024
Good song
Good song, bad live perfomance...
I still think this is a nice performance
Duncan, Anthony and Simon did well, but Lee destroyed whole performance
Winner
I love all both about themes: music’s
should have won..better than the winner
hell no
Oh yes!!
are you armenian?
You're probably Armenian but it's ok lol
These guys are HOT !!!
these new esc fans keep on dislikng the old esc songs, cuz they actually cant understand that these were the good songs and not the songs like georgia 2016 or ukraine..
Eurovision Macedonia Yes true
So so true there! Blue were one of my favourites in 2011. The song sounds slightly dated now but back in 2011 it was really current!
I mean I don't mind the song but their vocals make it impossible for me to even remotely enjoy the performance!
Eurovision Macedonia lol, you just said two BETTER songs than this
True! Though I liked Ukraine 2016 better than this, but that's just me I think
HOT
I liked the song but in live Get down a lot
𝙾𝚗𝚎 𝙻𝚘𝚟𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚞𝚎 ❤
No availability on streaming?? :(
THE ONLY UK ENTRY THAT I LIKE
Deserved
Simon webb 😍
Surprisingly, this got 0 from Germany, where can see the breakdown in televoting?
Alex4u ok
Never published, but from the jury score you can tell:
12 🇬🇷
10 🇧🇦
08 🇷🇺
07
06
05
04 🇲🇩
03
02 🇮🇹

Ireland got at least six points, and Austria scored, too. The UK was given no more than three by the public (as they had two from the jury panel).
I love Micheal Bolton!
great job by Santi Cazorla there in the middle
Lee ryan😞
Duncan and simon its great
𝕊𝕠 𝕥𝕠𝕝𝕝 😍
The fact that this was their best result since Sam. 😂
I loved the song before the contest (studio version), but it was so embarrassing to hear them sing live :-(
For a group who had a worldwide success a few years before ESC, their singing was unbelievable weak. A pity. 11th place was the best the UK could have ever hoped for. I am not sure if Blue can sing good live. Their album was very good though.
Duncan was the best of them (as always).
I just started watching Eurovision in 2018; visited this song cuz of Woody from Eastenders... lol
Vals vals vals vals vals
Only one big thing what UK did ever in Eurovision!
It was nice to see Don Cheadle in Eurovision
The song was ok, but the vocal performance was awful.
Have you listen to blue songs?
the last time we did vaguely well
11 место
¿Por qué esta increíble canción no está en Spotify?
My tied winner with azerbaijan
Pf ya podrían haberles enseñado un poco a cantar xxd
My points(10)----- 7 pts
They could have won if they didnt screw up the jury voting. 5th on votes and 22nd Jury
Such a great song av’s should’ve been top 5, blue we’re to over confident and Lee’s vocals were flat
Once the UK delivered hard. And the juries forgot to check out the song and put them low as usual. What a shame :(
Jack Whitehall must have been so happy
This ain't the studio version :/ terrible live
2024 here?)
this was the last good song that UK sent
Gives me American boy band vibes
That lead singer with the high notes are seriously screeching and annoying as all hell. It's way too high for him as well. The outfits look terrible too.
Best somg of the esc that year. I did not like the jury vote
It makes me so mad that i can’t listen to it on apple music….
I Can’t
Excelente canción! 🤩Pero qué mal que no la hayan cantado bien en la final del festival! 😔 Era la hora de la verdad.
Great song! But bad live performance. 👎🏼 They would have won, if they had not sung badly.
I find this performance so awkward.... I mean they are all clearly over 35 and being in a boyband at that age is really awkward to look at.
Как то глухо....звук плохой. Не звучат здесь....
Most greenish band ever
0.49 he can't do his number
