26. 🇬🇧 United Kingdom: Mae Muller - I Wrote A Song

[SilverStrumer]

The staging wasn’t that great. Showing her face and nails added no value to song, the story she’s trying to tell or about herself. I wish she incorporated some elements from her music video.

[Cunnysmythe]

Heard the radio version and didn't understand the hate
Now it makes sense

[jackkniphe]

All right I wanted to come here and hate on this. Truthfully who ever was in charge of that sound direction should be embarrassed. Don't get me wrong I would love to make fun of this girl but I really couldn't tell what she sounded like through the echos and her under amplified voice.

[WolfyTotalDrama]

Is no one talking about how the ENTIRE green room had a conga line to this song?

[zakmann]

I didn't mind the song it was good, not great.

But the mixing was some of the worst I have heard, her voice was hardly disgishable from the music, the music sounds clouded and smudged or undifined. It ruined the performance.

For contrast, listen to the Youtube music video titled Mae Muller - I Wrote A Song, put up 2 months ago.

[SeaGreenCP]

WHAT is all this hate? She didn't even sound that bad live, y'all are just begging to complain

[MrAudrey]

She did ok to be fair people forget she was on vocal rest plus the pressure she must have been feeling as well

[BigMike]

I still don’t really understand the idea behind this staging. Would’ve much preferred something more in the vein of the music video.

[josephalexanderstorm]

Am I the only who thinks the performance is better without the back-up dancers? I love Mae Mueller’s performance just not the dancers.

[gulfgypsy]

I can see why she finished second to last. Likely there are singers with less talent, less ability and less engaging personalities, though to be honest, it's difficult to imagine them.

[rainbowsgalore]

Gosh singing is hard without auto tune

[chawkigharbi]

Am I the only one to like the song ? 😂

[otowndude]

This was top 10 for me before i saw the staging. In my opinion, the staging destroyed any chance this song had.

[Dinonuggiessssss]

her voice isn’t the vibe, but the lyrics are nice and catchy. such a sweet soul! :)

[Dervis]

She didn't sound bad given its a campy dance track, but she was WAY out of her league. Sure, its a fun pop song with a catchy chorus, but when you're in the same competition with vocal powerhouses like Loreen, Marco, and Andrew, charismatic performers like Kaarja, Noa, and Voyager, and unique artists like Brunette, Vesna, and La Zarra...this just isn't good enough.

[mankin]

It’s an average song, sounds okay on the radio, but live it’s atrocious.

[thelucy]

She was absolutely amazing! Obviously the rest of Europe have bad taste!

[grtesxc]

I think the only part of the song I like is "cut you out" 😅

[jonathannowak]

good song. Did not deliver live. Got way too complacent

[EurovisionSongContestUSA]

look. its a good song but, let's be honest, the vocals were pretty weak in the final (the staging also doesn't really fit the song)
