UK’s Look Mum No Computer met with scathing Eurovision reviews
UK’s Look Mum No Computer branded ‘worst ever entry’
The UK’s Eurovision Song Contest entry, Look Mum No Computer (Sam Battle), received fierce backlash from viewers who branded his performance as one of the country’s “worst ever”.
Performing his electronic-pop song “Eins, Zwei, Drei” in Vienna, Battle wore a pink boiler suit and danced with performers in fluffy headwear, prompting criticism for being “bonkers” and “shameful”.
Social media users joked that the performance might prevent the UK from rejoining the EU and predicted a last-place finish for the country.
Despite bookmakers placing him at 80/1 odds to win, Battle expressed his contentment with being an “underdog” and hoped his full performance would surprise audiences.
The UK, as a “Big Four” country, automatically qualified for the final, continuing its struggle to secure a win since 1997, with only Sam Ryder in 2022 coming close.
