‘Bonkers’: Eurovision viewers react to UK entry Look Mum No Computer’s performance

  • The UK's 2026 Eurovision entrant, Look Mum No Computer, real name Sam Battle, performed his song "Eins, Zwei, Drei" at the second semi-final in Vienna, Austria, on Thursday, 14th May.
  • Fan reactions to Battle's performance were sharply divided, with some viewers criticising it as "chaotic" and "worse" than previous entries, while others lauded it as "bonkers but brilliant" and "wacky".
  • As one of the 'Big Four' countries, the UK automatically qualifies for the Eurovision final, meaning Battle's semi-final performance was not subject to public vote for progression.
  • Supporters of the performance highlighted its catchy lyrics and unique staging, arguing that its unconventional nature was a positive attempt to stand out after previous "radio friendly" songs failed to secure points.
  • The Eurovision Song Contest final is scheduled for Saturday at 8pm UK time and will be broadcast live on BBC One.
