Speaking personally, the first time the song really struck me was when I saw her semi-final performance. Of course the song is key, but I found her performance electric and pretty unusual for Eurovision... alone on stage with almost no make up, barefoot, not much lighting, dancing like crazy. I've heard a lot of people mention her performance, and she herself said it was deliberately understated. I'm not sure that, had she gone for big fireworks and lots of buff dancers, she would have stood out so much.
But of course, without the song, there's nothing to sell.
let's have a look again at her performance........

JK get a grip I know a lot more than you realise and besides I was not talking about Euphoria but about your song A Very Very Naughty Girl which is quite nice. Also by tactics I meant legit tactics and nothing wrong with hype as it is marketing so stop being defensive.

Well let's see how it does on Sunday J&B (who appears to have a slightly mistaken idea of the way things work in our beloved music industry; though he - or she - shares it with the majority of others residing in the sinecure that has become "the business").
The trouble with your vision J&B is that you've become so J&B you see bogeymen, tricks and fakes instead of reality.
Quite simply - Euphoria was a smash hit that almost nobody spotted (God knows why - I suspect most simply don't care) until Eurovision brought it to the attention of the millions that radio programmers (and TV programmers) were ignoring.
Not everything breaks through You Tube. It's just one new route of many and Eurovision is an old route that still works.
I don't care which route we take and no, J&B, I've never believed in hype for hype's sake. You hype when you know you have a hit. The majors' mistake was hyping because they had spent a fortune on a flop.

This is very nice and catchy but only 2000 views??
JK you should apply your Alex Day tactics to this and it would fly into the charts.
