United Kingdom 2024: Olly Alexander - Dizzy

[lolly]

Mae Muller was no Ella Fitzgerald, either

 

[Roe-st Potato 🥔 🌳]

Mae Muller was no Ella Fitzgerald, either

Disagree

 

[GNL]

Disagree

They can't take that away from Mae

 

[BoysForSeles]

Oh to be 15 20 years ago

I know! I wasn’t either, I think I’ve lost a decade in my brain when I try to timeline things these days.

 

[Dark Carnival]

DEAD AT THE LAST PAGE

 

[funky]

I'm sorry but I cannot just sit here and accept this dismissal of Madonna's voice

I'm the first to moan about the woman and I LIVE for live vocals, but we can't all pretend that the majority of people don't buy music for studio voices, not live voices, and her studio voice is DIVINE.

I should say WAS. Was divine. For a GOOD LONG TIME.

Sorry to ruin a very important Eurovision thread. About a very rubbish song.

 

[HalamaK]

Wait, how old are you guys? Don’t tell me you’re all Beyoncé’s age

 

[Joseph]

Wait, how old are you guys? Don’t tell me you’re all Beyoncé’s age

I VOTE TO BAN

 

[Lucille]

Just popped in to say that Olly Alexander does not have a better voice than Madonna.

Why is this SENDING ME?!!

 

[HalamaK]

I VOTE TO BAN

KYLIE'S???

 

[AGinAg (38)]

Wait, how old are you guys? Don’t tell me you’re all Beyoncé’s age

How old are you?

 

[rhythmbandit]

Looks like this missed the top 40 again.

 

[Kaleen]

I’ve just been thinking. I know Olly did better than Mae results wise but I think it was probably more of a failure taking everyhting into account.

For a starters that zero with the public was a disaster. He was a much bigger name but Mae was a much bigger success commercially.

 

[Soldi]

They can't take that away from Mae

Her tour on the other hand

 

[Soldi]

And Madonna’s Eurovision vocals were worse than Olly’s

 

[dmlaw]

There’s no comparison between Madonna and Olly. His acting is much better.

 

[funky]

NOW COME ON THIS IS JUST RID- no wait, I agree.

 

[Shoat]

Aside from being a baffling comparative, Madonna also isn't a reliable one to use.

She's fluctuated wildly over her career. During the Evita and ROL eras, her vocals were on point. But she stopped being capable of that quality from almost immediately after ROL was done, and she seemed to abandon vocal training for Ali G and leotards.

 

[Shoat]

"VERKA SEDUCHKA IS NO WHITNEY HOUSTON" declares angry Mopsy mob as they furiously shred Eurovision tickets

 

[funky]

I'm just glad we all handled the conversation with poise.

 

[VoR]

Bless him

 

[dUb]

At a certain point, you just have to ijbol

 

[ZenGiraffe]

At a certain point, you just have to ijbol

That has NO BUSINESS BEING A VERB

 

[AGinAg (38)]

Yeah surely it would just be bol.

Dub proved elderly by misusing a Gen Aplha acronym

 

[dUb]

I am in fact confident I have used it correctly

 

[dmlaw]

Am I going to have to look up what that means? Another unwelcome intervention from Moopy youth correspondent dUb.

 

[dUb]

It stands for 'I just burst out laughing' but is frequently used as a verb

I ijbol
You ijbol
He/she ijbols

And so on

 

[AGinAg (38)]

I will consult some youth once I'm back in after half term.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

No, I'm sorry. The youth of today definitely are wrong.

 

[GNL]

I can buy ijbol being used in that way from the generation that brought us 'pov' meaning the exact opposite of what it means.

 

[AGinAg (38)]

Actually I'm going to ask text my godson, he's 13.

 

[AGinAg (38)]

 

[dUb]

Pop it into twitter, it's real and you need to face the truth

 

[AGinAg (38)]

I can't handle the truth.

 

[funky]

I need to know how dub knows this phrase

I honestly learn all my yoof speak from moopy. Which is worrying because the youngest person on moopy is now 37

 

[disneyteletubby]

The two actual youngest here don't even use much youth slang/acronyms (also me being the first to use IJBOL on Moopy, in an 'oh I just discovered what that means' way )

You read enough TikTok comments, you get the gist. No cap.

[HalamaK]

What kind of geriatric ward have I walked into?

 

[Joseph]

IN MY DAY WE LOL AND LEAVE IT AT THAT
