As one of
the Big 5, United Kingdom’s choice was something everybody was waiting for. And
exactly three minutes after Still In Love With You was released it was already
one of the most hated ones. It reminds me of that Charleston dance you can play
on Just Dance, and the lyrics really make no sense to me. Why, UK? Why?
Being
honest, the melody is catchy and at least is something you may want to dance.
But was it really necessary to make a rhyme every three words? They’re trying
to tell that they care for each other, but I can’t hear anything but nonsense
sentences one after the other. It doesn’t have a chorus to stick to, and I
really hate that monkey part. It seems that they had run out of ideas and just
wanted to get to the three minutes limit somehow, suddenly reminding themselves
of The Jungle Book and going straight for that. Apart from that, their voices
are fine and suit the song, although they can’t really show much because, as I
see it, the song isn’t really a singing challenge. About the video, it is ok, kind
of glamourous and modern at the same time, something you can think about while
trying to ignore the song itself.
In my case,
this song sticks in my head for a while after I listen to it, but it doesn’t
mean I like it. It’s not special, it’s not strong, it doesn’t throw any powerful
message. UK hasn’t done well in the last years, but it seems like they’ve even
stopped trying. Still in Love With You is original and different from the other
39 contestants, but that doesn’t make it stand any higher. It hasn’t been right, hon.
