Olly Alexander, who took the stage after a short break, was initially met with thunderous applause. Fans waited for his appearance for a long time, but were soon disappointed.
Messages of indignation poured in on social networks that the artist could not sing the song “Dizzy” intended for the competition. Fans have noticed that he does not stretch even the simplest notes.
“Cool staging, but quite terrible vocals,” the netizen did not hide his criticism.
Another compared Olly’s voice to that of a little girl.
“Such a bad performance of the song. It seems that a little girl was singing,” said the commentator.
Indignation also arose in Lithuania. Here, one fan wrote that the British should even be wiped off the map.
“Somebody wipe the British off the world map,” he wrote.
Another commenter added that he would have preferred not to have seen the video.
“The song is good, but how? in advance show image?” she asked.

The novelty of this year’s competition is that the semi-finals also include the performances of the countries that automatically appear in the finals: Sweden, the host of the competition, and the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain and Italy, which support the preparation of the competition with the largest sums. Although their performances will be included among the semi-finalists, they will not be able to be voted on.
Lithuanian viewers could cast their vote in the first semi-final, in which the representative of our country appears – during the allotted time, it will be possible to vote via short SMS message, the Internet or a special “Eurovision” voting app.
This year’s song contest is hosted by Hollywood star and legendary Eurovision veteran Malin Akerman and Petra Mede.
