Surprised no one kicked us out of the EU after this
It took us 13 years for you guys to do that
About that
I'm dying😂😂
It was the wrong track
That would have saved you from James Newman's humiliation yesterday. 😜
They scored 1 point for every note they sung in tune.
Lol😂
Michael Wheeler They also scored 1 point for every individual in the world who thought this was sung well.
DanTheStripe so true😂
And 1 point for every time someone said they enjoyed the song
Michael Wheeler I couldn't have said it better....
And everyone in the united kingdom ended up crying that night.
Anfrers yeah, baby.
Seriously , wtf is this...
Wouldn't there any other singers in UK
Her voice is like a man voice
Ermmm... we were cringing and laughing. Like the rest of the Europe
Seriously .... That guy tho, one sleeve rolled up, red trainers, baggy white shirt, old jeans, dancing like a drunk 12 year old. I love it
It's so glaringly early-2000s
Work on your trash talking it's just as bad.
That’s us for you (hence I am british)
Eurovision, even bad Eurovision, is always completely of its moment. You won't get anything more 1975 (say) than the Eurovision acts from that year. Jemini are positivley radioactive with "2003-ness". Much good did it do them!
A drunk 12 year old? 🤔
"COME ON LATVIA!!"
*silence*
That is brilliant, isn't it? Also the guitar intro that seems to promise so much (and is the only part of the whole thing that is not distressingly bi-tonal). Add in lyrics that are meaningless, (even for Eurovision) and the terrible, misplaced, manic joy of the choreography and performance it is amazing that even got nul points. It takes several viewings to capture the full horror.
😂😂😂😂
Latvia did not come (on).
2:15 😂🇱🇻
James Newman was nowhere near as bad as this. Admittedly this was utterly appalling, but still...
If they were competing one another, James will litteraly killed Jemini
He just made a song that was okay but no one was going to say it was their favourite.
Unfortunately, more people are gonna remember a song with terrible vocals but catchy tune than they are a song with decent vocals but a terribly generic sound
James Newman was probably more spectacular because of how they changed the scoring system so that there's two sets of points from the juries and televotes. He was the first time an act failed to score any points under the new system which they had said was a possibility a Nul Points might never happen again.
@@jonathanc7674 Gemini couldn't get a double 0. There were no juries this year.
*Guitars and backings start*
Ooooo I bet this wont be as bad as people think
*singing starts*
... oh god we didn't even deserve 0 points we deserved to be banned from the competition...
My hope died when the shitty pop drums and the computerised bass kicked in at 0:10 :( This year's even worse for us!
Achmed Davids No it's not
Only666ticketstohell AND...... we finished 24th with 5 points. Told you our song was shit you fucking mong.
No reason to insult me and BTW: my country (Germany) finished without any points, so stop complaining
haha the fun my thing is we would pf been banned or not able to participate the next year bit because we we put loads of money into it they werent aloud to ban us haha
What the hell happened? the guitar solo came in then after that everything went into the twilight zone.
@Iain Botham Their in-ear monitors weren't working so they couldn't hear themselves.
@@Ramboost007 makes sense, a bad performance isn't just consistently off key a little bit for the whole thing, they weren't missing notes or whatever. Sucks that sort of stuff happens in a contest this huge.
@@realname8362 Dude, even until today. The 2019 ESC had sound issues. Hatari were off by one beat in one of their choruses in the Grand Finals.
@@Ramboost007 yeah, it's absolutely ridiculous that it can be this high budget and still fuck up on such important parts. what's the point of a contest where someone can get fucked over because of a tech issue?
@@Ramboost007 they were bloody lucky. It's the thousands of people that did hear it I felt sorry for.
I was 12 and I remember literally hiding behind the sofa and cringing when the vocals started. My family was shouting at the TV. This needs to be erased from history! Hilarious
Wait so ur like 30......
@@ihateshoes4906 Yeah
Zero points
Oh my god you’re 30!!! Where has time gone!! I’m scared
Oh this was one of my first eurovisions that I watched. I was 8 and I thought this was so good. I still think about this one and listen to it. Back then I was really wondering why they got 0 points, but I can hear it now.
Spectacular achievement!! This song is the first ever English language song and the ONLY UK entry to receive no points in the entire 60 year history of Eurovision! This "tuneful" duo made history that day!
xD
This comment needs updating 😂
At least our loss was in tune this year
This didnt age well
@@jethropen5443 yup, annnd u also lost in 2019...
Edit: What was I thinking lol, I forgot that The UK didn't get 0 points in '19...
This should have got minus results.
Callum Forrest Iraq should have invaded us instead after this performance.
-167 pts to be exact
The moment when you realise that the backing singers are 10 times better on the mic than the main act......
The backing vocals be like.... God, lemme out of here
It is often the case though. If not usually in the case of pop singers.
@@jutjubow let's not mention Serhat here😅
10 times nothing is still nothing
In fairness it's not a bad melody, just v poor vocals.
They aren't in tune
F Minor is a bitch of a key to sing in.
Yep, apart from the poor vocals, awful choreography, terrible arrangement and insipid production it was a cracking tune.
@@mrgilbe1 isn't that the criteria to participate in Eurovision
@@Graeme726 I know, the eurovision in general is shite quality in every area.
I take it I’m not the only one here after James Newman got nul points last night.
England's 2014 official World Cup anthem
I cant believe alongside James Newman, this also scored no points. James Newman’s song is truly a masterpiece compared to this.
Can you point out where the key changes are happening?
James Newman was like a drunk dad. He deserved 0 and I'm English 😂 thank god they sent that beautiful Nordic god Sam Ryder to redeem us
Sam's second place is really deserved. (Although it was actually my winner, but at least he won the juryvote)
@@MS-zt2ho vocally he is good song was boring and what was that staging.. I was actually in Norway at the time and laughed when I saw our performance
@@MS-zt2ho100%
If this was a BGT or X-Factor audition, they would have been booted off the stage.
lmaooo
They’d have got 4 buzzers if it was on BGT
@@scottmurphy4278 Plus the audience would be chanting: “OFF OFF OFF!”
Celebrating another nul points lads.
I love their extensive use of micro tonality.
You won today‘s internet!
Brexit started 2003😂😂
Nul points is generous, to be fair.
-1 🤭
@@Captain_Alberta100still to generous👀
those jeans.... lmao
Jasmin N it's in again in 2017
bopp9 thanks for reminding me this video existed - 5 years later and now i wear jeans almost as baggy
Gotta love the early 2000's.
Great vocals.
Best song ever.
Robbed.
Best song in ESC since its inception.
The songwriting is razor sharp, too...equal to Britain's very best.
Shite
It sounds like they can't hear themselves or the backing track. It's so easy to fall really out of key when you can't hear shit around you.
Lame excuse
@@emc2riah That's right. They were all singing in the same key, just a different key from the backing track.
They afterwards admitted that that was exactly the problem.
Just think, of all the songs that Madonna could have Googled when researching what was expected of her at Eurovision, it had to be this one. What are the odds?
LOL !!! 🤣
🙈 🙉 🙊 🤔🤫🤭😁😄😅😂😂😂
Yes, but she tuned the audio correctly after the show...
POV: You’re from 2021 seeing where all the mess begun...
and Brits still insist they lost because of politics lol
A Brit here, nope... because we are crap at Eurovision and the song was crap too! 😂
Nah, most of us agree it was an awful song.
@@sophie_drachen the beautiful Nordic god, absolutely redeemed us 😂
It was a mediocre song anyways, the out of tune singing was the cherry on top. Last year it was a bit more political because the song was better than a small chunk of the other entries
No they don’t. It’s absolutely awful and many people from Britain even say it is
There are many things wrong with this performance but the costumes are certainly high up on the list. Why is she dressed as a Vegas showgirl and why does he look like he's dressed for the pub?
This is one of those “so bad it’s good” entries.
its giving my lovely horse TT
nah it’s just bad lol
OMG. So much worse than I remember! Not a single person was in tune. The only good note was the last one!
ilovelondon66 probably worse because you’re probably more sober. 😂
The guitarist was pretty good
This is so damn cacthy...
So's chlamydia
rifoist HAHAHAHA
I don't understand why peps think it is bad???
Greetings from Paraguay
So is corona now 😂😂
They’re flatter than when cartoon characters get hit by a door
They're not flat. They're in a different key from the backing track.
Completely in the wrong key 😫
Were was the wrong key?
The. ENTIRE. SONG
The vocals where out of tune because it was only the reverb return that was fed to the moniters...nobody knows why this happened but that’s the truth maybe it was just incompetence by the front of house engineer or sabotage
@@brianmush4795 Sabotage for sure, it was the same year as the Iraq invasion
That moment when after the chorus the guitar solo kicks in and you think "Oh right, THIS was the key the song was in…"
My guilty pleasure hahahaha I really like this song!"
same, love the flat singing
Same here hahahahahaha
I like the song but she is awfull
The UK: Eurovision is rigged! Everyone only votes for their neighbours! They all hate us!
Also the UK: Sends *tHIS*
well yeah we have sent some bad songs but like look at 2017
@@ihateshoes4906 Personally I find that song really boring 😂😅
The UK peaked in the early 60s imo 😤

Brits after getting 0 points for 3 minutes of utter rubbish: *POLITICS*

@@Vasil.Kostadinov_official Hope we see them achieving better results at eurovision 2022, it's sad to see so low every year
@@enekom3030 I hope too.
Greetings from Azerbaijan.
@@Vasil.Kostadinov_official Greetings from Spain, nice to chat with you. By the way, do you usually comment on Schlager Lucas videos😁?
My educated guess of what happened:
1) This instrumental has multiple key changes
2) This instrumental 'fixed' itself at the middle of the performance, where they were off key.
So Eurovision used an older version of the instrumental for their earphones, and a newer one for the spectators, both in different keys. They either fixed that mistake themselves midway as they realized, or the instrumental itself shifts in key.
Either way, there's absolutely no chance that this was the fault of the performers. They SANG in key, consistently. All of them. It's just that this key is not the key that the audience was tuned to.
What happened was they couldn’t hear the instrumental. All they could hear was the bass. So they accidentally sang the song one semitone too low.
@@Lampy1 there's no way they all made the same mistake of consistently and accurately singing at a wrong but specific key
@@georgeaiken2965 It does sound weird, I heard it from Joe Bennett.
Sounds like a stitch up to me - back around that time there were a lot of controversial war manoeuvres that upset a lot of Europe
This song isn't just bad. It's a special kind of bad. It's one of the most impressively awful songs in existence, and I love every second of it. #legend

Who’s here after James Newman’s nul points.
Me
There isn't one redeeming thing about this performance except maybe that guitar player guy xD Everything's terrible - their out of tune singing, the dancing, the song itself, her ugly skimpy dress, his clothes looking he didn't even make an effort, the backing singers wearing ugly dresses as well... O_O
I agree about the guitar player.
Megan O the guy sang it well
"COOOMMMME ON!!!" Cringe.
We did it again lads! Double nil pwa!!!! First in Eurovision history!
If I had a £1 for every note sung in tune, I would be forever in debt.
And if it was for every note sung out of tune you'd be rich! 😂
I love this song in a "it's so shit it's brilliant" kind of way
I honestly think the instrumental they were hearing might’ve been in the wrong key, cause they’re consistently a half step sharp, even the background singers
It wouldn't be the first time Eurovision has duped singers with technical issues, like Rimi Rimi Ley.
That’s exactly what happened apparently
This is a monitoring problem… you can hear their pitch is consistent in its deviation…not the singers’ fault at all.
I'm suddenly extremely self-conscious that I dressed like him quite a lot in the early 2000s.
Is that including having only one sleeve rolled up?
Even if the vocals were so bad here they deserve to return for an interval act, they‘re still iconic and made eurovision history as the first time us brits have been last place
Forget 'cry baby', how about 'cringe baby'.
Dear God my ears hurt when I heard this 11 years ago...AND THEY STILL DO!!! 👎👎👎
Cwmbran1984 welcome to chicken noises
like literally tho🤦
Props to him for keeping going when things were going very wrong.
now im not saying James's performance was perfect, but is it seriously on this level? 😭
Not at all! James was so much better, he didnt deserve getting nul points from both juries and public
This is a masterpiece. The male singer dances almost as well as drunk Finnish engineers.
The problem is with the way Eurovision works if everyone says it's 11th place or fourth from the bottom or something it gets 0 points. The reason it doesn't happen more is Bloc voting plus usually weaker songs, and with weaker songs people give points a bit more randomly.
I think the EBU may change the whole scoring system.
Poor buggers, someone forgot to turn on the autotune...
So this is our new national anthem and the one Boris Johnson sang during Brexit! 🤔
Nah this has nothing to do with Iraq at all. We came last with nothing because of dreadful their singing it. It's totally embarrassing and cringeworthy to watch this.
Love this! So in tune. Definitely the UK's best entry ever. They were robbed, should have won
😂😂😂 is this a jok
E
Они в ноты не попадают.
if this was sung properly it could have got a great place, the song is really good
The Uk had invaded Iraq two months earlier. Hundreds of thousands of people in Europe had marched against it and were horrified by what unfolded. The best entry wouldn’t have done well. This was not the best entry..,
no… it’s not
@@georgeeskiadis5637 cmon dude dont take everything seriously, it's a fun and catchy song, it got me humming it for days after I have first heard it.
I agree, especially the guitar.
@@shamelesshussy I doubt it had anything to do with Iraq. It was just a bad song, badly sung.
The criticism these two got for this performance really annoys me. There was clearly a problem with their earpieces and as a result, couldn't hear themselves or the backing track, which is exactly what they stated at the time. They had no problem singing in tune before or indeed afterwards when they performed a live acoustic version on the BBC, so why do people find their version of events so hard to believe? If they couldn't sing in tune, surely we would've seen evidence of this beforehand.
well the songs sucks anyway, the performance was just the icing on the cake. Tell me, the dancing out of sync was also because of the earpiece?
Too late, honey, you either have it when it counts or you lose.
Why do I love this?? 😂😂 It’s so bad it’s actually good.
The guy on guitar is actually good.
All instruments are dead in Eurovision performances, every single instrument is playback. The guy on the guitar was just into it, guessingly.
@@arknell Yeah. Also- he must surely have realised they were off key, but he acts like nothing's wrong- very professional.
he is a prop he is not actually playing.
In these days of confinement I went through this again to cheer me up! I still remember BBC commentator Terry Wogan saying that they had not done too bad after the performance.........It's funnily embarassing!
Who's here after UK finished last with 0 points again in 2021?
Me
I had to watch this today as I've just discovered this was the ONLY other UK song to get zero points.
I know I thought we got 0 points way more than twice. I'm quite disappointed actually.
If this was sung in tune and on beat this could've done well. It was a potential bop gone to waste.
I disagree 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It was doomed from the Start 😭 at this point we shouldn’t even try we should just send joke tracks to piss everyone iff
Worst things the UK did in 2003:
1. Eurovision Entry "Cry Baby" (We all cried indeed).
2. The War in Iraq.
In that order!
I think I'm the only one from here that feels as I feel but I freaking love this song! I don't know why but I would unironically listen to it every time it pops in my recommendations!
The almost audiable collective gasp from the audience when the singing starts is more entertaining than the act itself.
Button "repeat" i really like it
It's rare that any trace of melody actually evaporates under the weight of every note being consistently missed but this song somehow managed it
I thought this wasn't too bad...
Then I heard the vocals.
song wouldve been good if they were in tune actually sounds like a banger
The studio version is not a lot better. The melody of the verses is a bit weird and means that even from the studio they sound flat (or... maybe they were).
Abbey was arrested and sentenced for social security fraud in November 2016. She was claiming as a single mother when she had undergone a wedding ceremony in Algarve in 2013 and was living with her partner. She overclaimed tax credits for her daughter born in 2009. She was given a 30-week prison sentence, suspended for one year, and put on supervision order for one year.
That is true. The performance and song are terrible (you really are willing it to end) but there must have been people in the British delegation who could have done something to prevent the cataclysm on the night. Jemini lost their recording contract, and their careers, overnight. It was very hard on them, but they cannot have been the only ones to blame
So we can't feel too bad for them then 🤷🏽♂️
Proof that just because they can sing in a Studio doesn't mean they can actually sing live.
Seriously this sounds like drunk karaoke.
OMG.......W4F??????They did not get not one note ..... sorry guys ...
There had to have been something wrong with the monitoring system or something like that because they're all singing in the same key. Trouble is they're in a different key from the music!
You know, UK's Eurovision years were like Tony Blair's political career. They won when he was popular and elected, they got 0 points when he was hated for Iraqi War.
Excuse me? Do you think this song is good? Hahaha
No no, I just pointed the coincidence. Of course no one could save them hitting bad notes...
The way they dance screams " '00s Eurovision" from miles. I miss this Eurovision tbh 😢
The only bit that was in tune was when he shouted 'Come on Latvia!'
UK want to revive the result of 2003 in 2015 :)

Marco A. Olivares
It's going to do worse! -12 points. XD
Shen Mudd LOOOOOL XD
Just look at Gemma's face at the end of the song. İt tells everything.
And at the beginning. She looked like a rabbit caught in the headlights
Ugh - I remember watching this. We had a huge party and gathered round the telly, then as soon as she opened her mouth we all fell completely silent. It was like a wake! At the time (and probably still) the rest of Europe hated us anyway for the war situation as it was!
I can imagine how you immediately got sober at that moment 😂
"Europe" didn't hate "you." That narrative was just poisonous.
@George Stobbart two T's and two B's ever since semifinals have been a thing, the last place in finals is typically some perfectly fine song that just got out performed by something similar.
What do you mean war situation, Iraq/afghan?
@@JorgyValenko 100%, Terry Wigan calling it political really changed everything man. You Europeans still love us, tonight had proved it! The narrative needs to change now
See Britain? It's not Brexit that causes you to get last place. You just send crappy songs
How did they screw up the pitch so much!? it's like they were sent the wrong audio feed in their IEMs
Baggy jeans with chains at the hip? Definitely 2003. D:
With every eurovision video on YT, there's always at least a few people that say that a song should've won or done better. But here, everyone agrees this is terrible. Lol
James Newman wasn’t brilliant but he was nowhere near as bad as this.
The commentators speculated that it got so few points because of backclash from the Iraq War. This comment section knows the real reason :))
Was searching for the worst eurovision songs, finalists or not and this came up😂
Oh dear god, If this was an Eastern European band they would've been thrown in the gulag.
And then they would have to 1v1 Scooch to get out of it
i remember watching this when i was 6 it was so funny. I didn't want them to win and I'm from the UK. I don't think anyone in the UK liked them unless they was tone death. Funny to remember everyone in my house laughing at our Eurovision party oh good times.
WhY DoNt ThEy VoTe FoR uS????!
have you heard the song?
How did they get it so wrong? The whole song is out of tune!
Liverpool has given us both The Beatles... and this!
i love (studio version of) this song :)
This is caused by incorrectly set-up monitors.
Abysmal. How can they expect anything but 0 by firstly singing a minor second under the melody and then changing halfway thru to an augmented 2nd above it?
Maybe they can do a one off performance at the EU parliament as a leaving gift with love from the UK 😆
WE ARE SCREWED THIS YEAR AND WE DESERVE TO BE.
