Sometimes, going into a show blindly can lead to pleasant surprises. Unfortunately, in this case, going in with very different expectations resulted in an uncomfortable viewing experience of Eurovision Your Decision — one marked by 14 musical numbers and a restless countdown to the interval, which offered the first chance to reassess what we were watching.
The concept is certainly novel — a live show in which the audience votes for which song should represent the UK at Eurovision. But the execution struggles to find its identity: part game show, part concert, part genuine competition, it never quite settles into any of them. The performances are energetic, and there are individual moments of real quality, but the overall experience feels muddled.
