The Eurovision Song Contest has reached the semi-finals and UK's entry, Olly Alexander, took to the stage to sing 'Dizzy' but not everyone was impressed by the performance
The Eurovision Song Contest hype has hit fever pitch as it officially kicked off its first semi-finals on Tuesday 7 May. Delivering an opening act to remember, former Cyprus contestant Eleni Foureira dazzled BBC viewers in a glittery ensemble supported by a fabulous line-up of back-up dancers all clad in black.
Performing his debut solo single was both a thrill and milestone moment for Alexander but feedback from the audience tuning in wasn't universally positive and flooded social media swiftly afterwards.
Meanwhile, fans were buzzing with excitement over Olly's Eurovision performance, with one fan gushing on social media: "I just love Olly Alexander... GREAT staging... #ESC2024," while another praised: "Olly's performance was SO professional. It was like watching a music video. Best staging of the year #unitedkingdom."
