Eurovision followers are unimpressed with Olly Alexander’s efficiency

Eurovision viewers were left less than impressed with Olly Alexander‘s performance during Saturday’s final as they claim his song ‘was off key’. 

The Years and Years singer, 33, took to the stage to represent the United Kingdom as he performed his upbeat song Dizzy. 

However, fans were quick to take to X – formerly known as Twitter – to complain that the Olly’s vocals were ‘weak’ and he sang ‘off key’. 

They wrote: ‘Olly Alexander really can’t sing live. Weakest vocals of all entries tonight……by far.’

‘Unpopular opinion, I really don’t rate Olly Alexander this is bad, so bad…’

‘What an awful performance and don’t get me started on that off key singing.’ 

‘I’m sorry Olly Alexander but this absolute trash, compared to even what’s been on already…’

‘Ouch. Wonder if Olly Alexander has considered a different career that doesn’t involve singing in a key.’

‘He was off key the whole song and just didn’t fill the stage like the other acts’. 

However some fans did enjoy the performance and told the singer he ‘smashed it’ including actress Hannah Waddingham, who wrote: ‘OME ON OLLY ALEXANDER!!! LET’S DO THIS!!!!!!’ 

The stage was a feast for the eyes as it was transformed into a cross between a boxing changing room and an emotional cage. 

Olly is hoping to break the UK’s Eurovision curse and take home the trophy following Sam Ryder’s success.

Squirming and writhing among his backing dancers Olly gave it his all in red leather trousers and a ripped white vest.

A synth-pop upbeat earworm with, oddly, wedding bells in the background. Jumping on the strobe, EDM bandwagon the Years & Years frontman gave an emotional performance and the crowd went wild.

However Olly has not had the easiest of Eurovision performances as he had a dramatic problem during the semi-finals. 

The singer spoke out about the moment his Eurovision semi-final performance went awry last week, after sparking concern among fans with his ‘shaky’ vocals.

Olly spoke to Lorraine last week about the ‘wardrobe malfunction’ he suffered, after fans got to hear his song Dizzy performed live in Malmö, Sweden ahead of Saturday’s final.

Unfortunately, things began to go pear-shaped when Olly’s microphone pack slipped from his trousers and began dangling behind him.

The star then had to continue the performance whilst attempting to grab the pack, no doubt contributing to the less-than-perfect vocals some fans complained about.

Olly said: ‘I had a slight wardrobe malfunction and my mic pack fell off and I had to improvise, it’s live tv and it happens!’

‘The dancing is a bit naughty and the team is fantastic. It’s like the Olympics of music, it’s a fun, chaotic circus. 

He added: ‘This whole thing has been wild, it was amazing last night. It was the first time performing it on live TV. 

‘There is so much support from the other contestants, it’s been the experience of a lifetime. I feel so lucky and privileged to be doing it.’

‘My mum watched last night and she is coming out tomorrow and she is so excited.’
