‘What IS that?’ mega Eurovision fan Lisa Riley admits she’s ‘unbelievably confused’ after UK reveals divisive entry

LISA Riley has admitted she’s “unbelievably confused” about the UK’s entry to the Eurovision Song Contest.

It was recently announced that Look Mum No Computer, aka singer and YouTuber Sam Battle, would be singing Eins, Zwei, Drei at the competition on May 16th.

However, the unusual tune – with a chorus sung in German – has sparked controversy, with mega Eurovision fan Lisa among those weighing in.

“I am a very, very optimistic, happy-go-lucky person, and I’m going to use the word positive, I’m a positive person,” Lisa began, before adding in her TikTok video that she “can’t be positive about this”.

“What the (bleep) it’s our Eurovision entry this year. What is that? What is that?” she gasped.

“What are we offering? What, I mean, what’s this?”

ALL A BLUR

UK’s Eurovision entry is inspired by Britpop – but chorus is all in GERMAN

Former Emmerdale star Lisa said that she’s really tried to “get giddy” over the song, but hasn’t been able to do so – even after listening to it four times.

“Oh dear, dear, dear, dear,” she sighed.

“If I’m proven wrong on the night, fair do’s,” Lisa added.

“And I’ll look back at this video and go, ‘Why?’

“At the moment, I’m just going, why is that our entry?”

“WHY??? WHY????WHY???? Is that our entry for Eurovision?” Lisa captioned her video.

“I’m so unbelievably confused as to what that is!!!”

After Lisa encouraged her followers to “discuss”, they did just that in the comments section, with many of them on the screen star’s side.

“I thought it can’t be that bad Lisa…went to look and it’s worse!” one exclaimed.

“Who on earth thought this was a good idea?”

“I agree! We can do far better,” another insisted.

“It’s a shocking entry,” a third wrote.

“I really don’t know why we keep entering to embarrass our entrants,” someone else sighed.

“I feel sorry for them as we all know we have lost before they even sing a note.”

However, there were also those who predicted success for Look Mum No Computer in the contest.

“It’s VERY different,” one wrote.

“Not for everyone but its more Eurovision sounding than what we’ve sent recently.”

“They’ll love that in the arena – 100% Eurovision,” another insisted.

“Lisa I love you but it’s incredibly Eurovision!” a third said.

“We’re sending something different and I love us for that!

“Our recent genres we’ve been sending have not been working.

“I completely agree that it’s an acquired taste but Eurovision all together is an acquired taste!

“It’s a big risk that could pay off for us.”
