Olly's track Dizzy is the UK's entry to the Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday but fans were left divided by his first live performance of the song on UK TV on Tuesday night.
Olly Alexander has spoken out after facing backlash to his first live performance of his Eurovision Song Contest entry on Tuesday night.
Former Cyprus contestant Eleni Foureira opened the BBC show featuring back-up dancers all in black as she dazzled in a sparkly outfit. However, it was Olly's slot that got everyone talking. One person wrote: "Had high hopes for the UK @Eurovision this year with Olly Alexander but it sounded a little ropey at the semi-final just now on @BBCRadio2," as another quipped: "#eurovision Shockingly poor singing there from Olly Alexander."
Despite mixed views, some fans were thrilled as they backed the singer. One person said: "I just love Olly Alexander... GREAT staging... #ESC2024," and another wrote: "Olly’s performance was SO professional. It was like watching a music video. Best staging of the year #unitedkingdom."
