UK's Eurovision Song Contest performance sparks huge backlash among BBC viewers

BBC Eurovision Song Contest enthusiasts are split over Olly Alexander 's first performance representing the UK in Eurovision.

Thrilled to unveil 'Dizzy', the first single he has written solo, which featured some impressive stage production, Alexander's moment under the spotlight received a varied response from BBC viewers who quickly voiced their opinions online.One viewer expressed disappointment X, formerly known as Twitter as they wrote: "Had high hopes for the UK @Eurovision this year with Olly Alexander but it sounded a little ropey at the semi-final just now.

Another viewer changed their tune after seeing the live show, admitting: "Ok, when I first heard Olly Alexander's #Eurovision song for the UK, I didn't like it, but now that I'm seeing the staging, I like it a lot better,". Olly admitted he is feeling a bit “overwhelmed” at competing and talking to The Times about the controversy, the talented Years & Years frontman said: "Obviously there are a lot of things I wish were different. And this is so much bigger than me and Eurovision, it really is. Obviously, I wish there wasn't a war or this insane humanitarian crisis."
