Well, obviously it was going to be a ballad! It's not a piano ballad though, which makes me slightly relieved. If I see one more piano...

Musically, it's not that bad, though not something that will set the world alight, or the UK's hopes. The simple guitar gives it an almost Spanish sound, making it seem European without smacking you in the face without making references to various capital cities. The lyrics are a bit cheesy, but it's not repetitively banal.

Of the many things the UK have entered, there's nothing here really to be embarassed by. The fact that he's old seems rather narrow-minded. People don't have to drop off the face of the earth once the flourish of youth is gone. What, does everything think Saade and Tooji won't get old and ugly soon?* Scooch, Jemini and Daz Sampson (OH GOD THAT SONG!) will always be their lowest points.

 

Saade, Young Humperdinck and Tooji

*assuming you don't think they're pretty fug already.
