Eurovision fans express concern over Olly Alexander’s “shaky vocals” during the live performance of the UK entry, featuring shirtless dancers.
Olly Alexander, representing Great Britain with his catchy tune “Dizzy” at Eurovision, made his debut on stage in Malmo, Sweden, for the Semi Finals, accompanied by shirtless backup dancers and a raunchy routine. However, fans seemed divided over his performance, particularly regarding his vocals.
The Years and Years singer, 33, gave an explosive performance with a boxing-themed routine, donning a distressed vest and red trousers, topped with a color-coordinated jockstrap. Joined by hunky shirtless backup dancers, the performance featured sensuous moves and energetic choreography, captivating the audience with its visual spectacle.
Anyone else notice Olly’s mic pack fell out. Only noticed on the rewatch. As a gym instructor I know how off putting that is. An amazing performance just got elevated even higher! Go Olly! #Eurovision2024 #OllyAlexander pic.twitter.com/Ax3bF8CHZe

While some fans praised the expressive staging and choreography, others expressed concerns over Olly Alexander’s vocals, noting that they were slightly off and shaky at times. Despite the split opinions, the performance garnered attention and sparked discussions on social media platforms like Twitter.
Some fans were effusive in their praise, commending Olly for his stunning performance and staging. They expressed pride and enthusiasm, highlighting the captivating visuals and the overall impact of the routine.
I'm so tired of people like Olly Alexander being more upset at being called out than they are about children being starved and bombed. These people are on a different planet it seems. Rather than just accept they have no moral backbone, they start acting bullied for sympathy.

However, others were more critical, pointing out flaws in Olly Alexander’s vocals and expressing disappointment with certain aspects of the staging. Some hoped that his vocals would improve for the final, while others questioned whether the elaborate staging overshadowed the vocal performance.
The performance came amidst intense pressure on Olly to withdraw from the competition due to Israel’s involvement in Eurovision, which has sparked controversy and protests. Despite the challenges and criticisms, Olly and his fellow Eurovision contestants have affirmed their commitment to perform, emphasizing the unifying power of music and the importance of standing in solidarity with oppressed communities.
As Eurovision continues to unfold, fans eagerly anticipate the final results and the impact of each performance on the competition. Whether Olly Alexander’s performance will resonate with the audience remains to be seen, but his participation has certainly sparked conversations and stirred emotions among fans and spectators alike.
