Viewers react to UK’s Eurovision acts first performance

During the live show, Look Mum No Computer, whose real name is Sam Battle, performed his song Eins, Zwei, Drei, while dancing energetically with people dressed as computers.

At one point, Battle attempted to get the crowd to sing with him, chanting: “When I say eins, you say drei.”

Battle has already qualified for Saturday’s grand final as part of the big four, along with Italy, Germany and France, who contribute the most financially to Eurovision, as well as Austria as this year’s host nation.

The YouTube star wore a pink boiler suit during his song, as performers in fluffy headwear danced in a mock workshop while he played a synthesiser and later ended up in a cardboard box.

He later told Eurovision presenter Victoria Swarovski he chose a song title in German, despite it being Eurovision’s weakest-performing language, as “people liked counting to three”, before telling the crowd “I hope you liked that”.

However, not everyone was a fan of the performance, as one person wrote, “Why does the UK do so bad at Eurovision? Look Mum No Computer is another car crash of a performance”.
