British fans have turned out to support Look Mum No Computer, whose real name is Sam Battle. However, their performance did not impress many viewers who jokingly predicted that the UK would get "no points" again this year. The song "Eins, Zwei, Drei," featuring a pink boiler suit and performers in computer headwear, was met with criticism on social media platforms like X.
"I thought it could go well or completely wrong, I'm just here for the ride," Sam Battle reflected before the performance. Despite the humorous staging, viewers found the act less than stellar: "Just when you think it's absolutely impossible to get any worse, the UK entry has done it yet again! Absolute Trash. Nil points!" others chimed in.
In contrast, Australian pop star Delta Goodrem performed her song "Eclipse" and received much more positive feedback. Her performance, complete with a sparkly dress and harp, left fans impressed by the quality of her act.
The second semi-final aired live from Vienna on BBC, featuring acts from various countries. Bulgaria, Ukraine, Norway, Australia, and Romania secured spots in the Eurovision Song Contest Grand Final this Saturday night following the second semi-final. These five countries automatically qualify for the final due to their broadcasters' financial contributions to Eurovision.
While the UK's entry faced criticism, some viewers found the performance entertaining: "UK was actually really interesting to watch! And funny. Much better than I expected!" Others praised the staging as "brilliant," noting that it might do better this year compared to last year’s entry by Remember Monday, which placed 19th out of 26.
As the contest progresses, fans and critics alike will be watching closely to see how each country performs in hopes of a memorable final.
