Eurovision fans have voiced their disappointment with the British delegation and the BBC after UK entrant Look Mum No Computer, whose real name is Sam Battle, was left alone during the jury show in Vienna. His performance of 'Eins, Zwei, Drei' ended in last place, with a staggering 515 points behind the winner, Dara from Bulgaria. Sam only received one point from the jury, while the public vote yielded zero. A video captured him sitting alone in the Green Room, leading to sympathy from fans and fellow contestants, particularly the Danish delegation, who invited him to join them. Viewers condemned the UK delegation's lack of support, calling it 'shameful' and urging for changes in the delegation for future contests. Many fans noted that the UK has a history of not taking Eurovision seriously, despite its rich musical heritage. Established artists often avoid participating, fearing it could harm their careers, as seen with past entrants like Olly Alexander, who faced significant backlash despite being a popular figure. This year’s Eurovision highlighted the contrasting attitudes towards the competition, with other countries sending their top talents, while the UK struggles to engage its own artists.
