Can we just appreciate how good she is live?? Brilliant vocals
But song is poor .
Didn`t she perform it well , a true pro who new how to get a song across , it deserved a better placing.
Also found out the news She felt it was treason
Europe was punishing us for the Iraq war at the time. Great song and brilliant vocals. She did us proud
Treason ? What u mean ?
I was at school with Nicki, and we are friends to this day.
She is an amazing vocalist that ALWAYS performs live.
I love to watch her perform, from musical theatre to concerts.
When I watched this performance live, I was really emotional. She nailed it.
I watch her live whenever I can twice in Gran Canaria in one night and I always order her music with signed stuff she's such a lovely person and an awesome performer live just always so scared to go and say hello when I see her with a glass of sine lol xxxx
Love her voice and the song. A very festive and at the same time nostalgic rhythm
To this day cannot understand how it did not do better. Nicki was and still is an amazing singer
It was awful! Like some badly done ABBA rehash.
@@jutjubow "Don't play that song again, reminding me of how it used to be" Clerly the irony is lost on you.
@@RF_Burns What?
@@jutjubow It's a song about an old ABBA song that revokes fond memories of times gone by. What do you expect it to sound like? Of course it sounds like an ABBA rehash.
Also She said it felt like treason
I am not defender of recent UK Eurovision songs, but this deserved a top 5 finish......very strong song and performance.....
Mark Dowd when you consider the tripe we’ve sent (for the most part) since, this is up there as one of our strongest entrants. Also the contest was quite poor in 2000 I felt
I loved this one.
I agree Mark!! 👍
@@josephdyson3737 agree totally!
Nicki said she felt treason for this
I voted for that at this time. So catchy song. I still love that. Greetings from Estonia with love! :-)
One of the most underrated ESC-songs.
One of the most terrible.
@@jutjubowrubbish. Can you sing?
@@cheekytykeI can.
@@jutjubow like a drowning cat
if Hillary Clinton and Angela Merkel had a daughter
josharyono HAHAHA😂
hahahahahah
Can’t unsee it now! Nicola Sturgeon could be the surrogate mum
Plus a bit of Marine Le Pen 😂
.or Cherie Blair and Lauren Booth had another sister.
People judging her looks, her dress... Omg are they deaf? This song is so nice and catchy. Her vocals are so good. Her voice and vibrato are so unique! Love this song...
I didn’t know Nicola Sturgeon was on eurovision
I still love this great song. Greetings from Estonia!
I actually loved this one. I've played this song again many times since then.
Nothing wrong with the song it is actually well written and performed here!
The song is not well-written. It is trashy.
@@jutjubow
How would you fix the lyrics
@@jutjubow if you’re not an expert on song writing or performing then SHUT UP.
One of my favorite UK entries 🙈
Why did they dress a 35 year old woman like an old woman wearing a young person's clothes??
They did it to make a bridge to camilla parker bowls
35?! For real? I thought she was at least 50. :o
She’s 35?! I thought she was in her 50s. Blimey.
Lovely song and great voice
Brilliant performance, Nicki deserved much more.
After reading all the comments I'd just like to say we'd give our right arm for someone the calibre of Nicki French to represent us today.
She certainly put her heart and soul into this performance
Yeah but then euro was like nah 16th
@@Dim4323 that’s hardly Nicki’s fault.
@@Guitar-qv6gudid you know
In metro newspaper she said it was treason for losing
@@Dim4323 I doubt it.
My favorite song in ESC 2000 ❤❤
I absolutely love it!
The classic 'Can I see your manager' haircut of the millenium...also, parts of this song remind me of Steps' 'Last Thing on my mind'
Yessss, it really does sound like that song!
she was 35 back then...omg she looks like 50
😂
35 really?!😮 also thought she was a middle aged woman. Bad geens I guess.
Although being old-fashioned, performed as campy as it could get including terrifying costumes, this actually isn't that bad of a song. Considering the quality level was extremely low that year, this should've done better.
Frilipos I agree it should have at least been in the top 5 as the 2000 ESC was quite poor.
It's not the best but it's a good song that I rather enjoyed. This should've done better but I guess people just didn't like it as much in 2000.
I loved this one. 2000 was a poor year so this should definitely have done better.
@Rasmus Andersson I meant what I wrote.
So Nicky was 37 back at the time, was dressed like a 17 years old school girl and her hair was styled like a 67 years old house wife. I understand why this song didn't do so well.
This song was a lot better than the amount of points it scored.
Sounds like if somebody remixed an ABBA song into a noughties disco track then got your drunk aunt Susie to sing it
Drunk aunt Susie lmfao!
"Don't play that song again, reminding me of how it used to be" Clerly the irony is lost on you.
@@RF_Burns The irony is that the song’s title is an accurate description of what people think once they’ve heard it! They’re, “Oh God! Please no! Don’t play that song again”!! Hahaha! The song composition is reasonable enough, if somewhat forgettable. However, the production is beyond dreadful. Recorded and mixed in a home studio, using something like Cuebase, by the sounds of it. The VST’s have got to be some of the must underwhelming sounds I’ve heard. The drums and cymbals sound weak and tinny and the piano, like something out of a Casio keyboard. The song perhaps could have been more electrifying and thus had a greater audible punch, had it have been produced and mixed by a more skilled studio ensemble. Also, on the live performance, the harmonies were dreadful. There’s a limit to how many people can be on the stage, in the ESC. So they needed voices that combined had projected a great sound. The guys were totally wrong for this. Their voices too deep to harmonise with just two girls. The singers should have all been female, to give the correct lifts in the bridges and choruses. As Nicki has more of a lower baritone vocal. Having two other lower registered vocalists just left those seminal parts flat, which in turn left the rest of the track underwhelming and flat.
Lololol 🤣😂🤣
"Don't Play That Song Again "
No one ever did....
Just watched the 2015 Greatest Hits show and had to come and quote this haha
I've played it loads of times. Loved this one.
🤣
Matt Pop's mix, at least twice a week in my car.
This is terrible.
I remember thinking it was kinda cool and fresh of them to style a 50-something lady in that outfit 🙈😂
She was only in her 30s when she did this
She was 34 then.
She is old,but verry good i like tihis song and all presentation on the stage i love it.
Emma Summer Believe it or not she's only 35 there! not trying to be rude but she looks more like 48, and she dressed like she's 17. Nice song though.
Nice to see they went for someone with reliable vocals! A pretty good song! Have never watched this year's Eurovision and wish they had the show in full!
I just met this lovely lady yesterday in Cardiff for Menopause 2 the musical and her voice is still as good!!!!!
Great song by Gerry Shepherd and John Springate (both formerly of The Glitter Band ) , R.I.P. Gerry 🙏
She was 36, but she looks at least 50 years old.
Thanks to her appearance that was inappropriate her age.There is a wrong choice
Omg! I really thought "what a beautiful and fit 50 year old lady" :D
I think the flat stomach under the crop top was the giveaway of youth.
@@Rik77 I mean, Elizabeth Hurley has a flat stomach and she's 55... and looks younger than Nicky did here.
Her clothes were wrong however she's a good singer with a decent song.Give her some credit
Great song, very Steps-ish. Amazing vocals from Nicki too.
You are the best! Euro 2000. Thank god for you guys
I remember thinking when I was little that the female backing singers looked like Phoebe and Monica from Friends respectively :D
Magnifica cancion y tambien una excelente cantante.
A great song. She should have won the Eurovision.
I love this song.....makes me haaaappy......
Lovely song.
Eu amo está mulher! Lindas músicas...
Great performance
Nicola Sturgeon singing a reworked Y Viva Espana
This is a brilliant song, should have been in the final top 5, if not the winner!
Здорово, очень позитивное и убедительное выступление! Респект Нике:)
Nicki was at Coventry Pride a few weeks ago great set real strong singer still.
In 2000, John Springate and Gerry Shephard (from the Glitter Band) decided to rekindle their successful song writing partnership and worked on writing a song for the Eurovision song contest. A good number of songs were written and recorded together and Nikki French was brought in to spearhead their bid on their track ‘Don’t Play That Song Again’. The song won the Song For Europe competition and Gerry and John’s song was more than adequately fronted by Nikki in the Eurovision itself. However, the usual Eurovision tactical voting prevented the song from winning. That said, Gerry, John and Nikki were immensely proud to have been able to represent the UK in the contest.
And it was 34 in the 2000 charts.....maybe the 2 songwritters shouldve not.
Yes, please don't!😂😂😂
This Song was written by two members of the Legendary Glitter Band.
I remember. Good Song.
I liked this song in 2000 and I still like it. Puzzled as to why it scored so poorly.
Maybe the song wasnt engaging
16 of 24 isn’t trash for Uk standards
The singing cashier from the discount store around the corner.
Omfg 😂
..Great song,Great performance- Nicki should of won that night!.,their loss.
UK finishes in 16th place in 2000: Worst ever result! Terrible, we've never finished this low before!
UK finishes in 16th place in 2020s: Wow, great result! We nearly made it onto the left hand side of the board! Amazing!
Simply the song didnt engage the public to vote
And simply nicki said it felt treason
I hadn't realised how swedish in style uk performances could be. I dont like the song but there confidence and carelessness here. In the 2000s the UK and Sweden very much diverged with Sweden upping their game.
I've only come for the Nicola sturgeon comments
Nicki was brilliant singing this song here. Go Nicki French!!!!!!
With a voice like that, she really deserved a far better song.
Bravo
Personally, I think it's a very beautiful song. Incredible melody, good lyrics. But I think that its downfall was the fact that people in general don't like music about breakups and loneliness (even when it's this good...)
Get our of here...Camon,,, Common Linets was 2nd
I never realised Nicola Sturgeon had such a good voice! 😳
lmaooo
a fine song really was
Europe took the song title literally
Are the backup dancers wearing orthopedic shoes?
Those shoes where an it those days 🤣🤣🤣
it was favourite at the bettings that year.
Actually, no. That was Ireland.
Love ❤
The clue is in the title. 🤔
Am off to see Nicki @ Bristol Pride next weekend. Am just practising my moves as I watch this
She was amazing and a decent song... never got the rather bad result
I honestly don't really get why people hate on this entry. It's better than much other stuff countries sent in the early 2000's
Well their reasons
1: the lyrics are meh
2: her outfit
And 3 it wasnt really engaging
Actually looking back it was a really strong performance I think the style let it down
UK,ole que nunca se pierda el espíritu eurovisivo¡
This is the year where UKs decadence started
not a becoming outfit for someone who was 35 at the time.
She's good catchy song
I like this 😂
Mmkay, I won't play this song again...
De acuerdo con Alexo martín,pero aún así me gusta¡
In 2000 I so fancied Niki French, and a bare midriff outfit looks soooooo sexy on a women.
This song reminds me of Waterloo
My winner that year
The Choreography kills me! But I love it😂 especially the Start of the Second verse haha⏱
Yeah if you’re at kindergarten. Cringe.
Say what you want about her outfit (I personally like the pants and overcoat), but I love this song and Nicki is AWESOME live! I don't watch Eurovision, but I read that it didn't score high. It deserves better.
I got the same phenomenon than Nikki, I got 29 and look like 35 😢
Brilliant performance all round here, but the problem is, like many of the UK's recent entries, is that the song is just far too generic. It's very Eurovision-y, whereas recent winners from, say, Sweden or Germany or Denmark, have all been more 'pop'.
Love Nicola sturgeon
Nicki French actually.
12 points from Sweden! *Do* play this song again!!
Did you know in a interview she said It was treason she didn't win.
Any reason this song got low...anyone?
It was shite. And she still warbles it out to this day. Jonathan king deserved to go to prison for this crime. Never mind his other ones.
Who is the background singer on the left? He is fabulous!!
He absolutely is!!
Marks and Spencer - Outfit
Is that Hillary Clinton
I think its Nicola Sturgeon
She did a great job with the vocal but her stomach looked terrible!
Hahaha! Indeed, I thought the same right now!
That outfit though......... Otherwise, good song and performance that deserved a higher placing.
Good song neverthelees, but not better tan Austria ;-) my favourite of that year...
You have to say this was likely the best performed and most credible song in a woefully poor competition that year. Unfortunately it looked and sounded like something from 20 or more years earlier, which probably did for it.
Wow that Hillary Clinton rally is lit 🔥
Looks a lot older than 35.
Another one we should have won!
SHE CAME TO OUR SCHOOL
