Raul: Oh UK, WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED? The girls are amazing, very kind, the vocals are JUST PERFECT (I could die with those gorgeous voices), BUT the song has no sparkle :(( It gives me OG3NE vibes from Shein :(( They are adorable, it really elevates the song, and the moment will probably be really cute and dynamic, BUT THE SONG :(((( The chorus is memorable, but that’s about all I remembered from the whole song.
Grade: 7/10

Reza: Well, I really despised this entry when I first heard it, so if I had written this review a month ago, my rating would’ve probably been extremely low. But since then, it has grown on me, and I even find myself singing it sometimes. It has a catchy refrain and a hook that sticks with you, and their vocals are amazing. It has a very theatrical vibe, and it’s pretty cool to have entries like this in Eurovision as well. However, their potential is sadly wasted on this song, which, objectively speaking, just isn’t strong enough. Unless the juries show them some love and support, I can’t see the UK scoring well this year.
Grade: 5/10

Laurentiu: The United Kingdom’s Eurovision 2025 entry, “What the Hell Just Happened?” by Remember Monday, showcases the trio’s strong vocal harmonies. However, the song’s structure feels disjointed, blending multiple genres without a clear direction, which may leave listeners confused. While their vocal performance is commendable, the lack of a cohesive musical identity could hinder the song’s impact. Given the UK’s automatic qualification as part of the ‘Big Five,’ the entry secures a spot in the Grand Final, but it’s uncertain how it will resonate with the broader Eurovision audience.​
Grade: 5/10

Stefania: It’s called What The Hell Just Happened? Honestly, same girls, I was a bit lost too. They’ve got energy and attitude, but the song just didn’t quite click with me.
Grade: 2/10

Florin: I was really curious what Remember Monday will bring to the table, as I was sure it would be an amazing song since BBC selected kind of a small band for the UK. I was disappointed when I heard the song, their voices are very good and the harmonies are amazing, but the song… from my pov doesn’t go anywhere and sounds like a song Little Mix would reject at the beginning of their career.
Grade: 3/10

Antonio: The title of this entry pretty much sums up my reaction when I heard the song for the first time. I wouldn’t call it a bad entry, but I just can’t connect with it. The UK has had some incredible moments in this contest, yet I genuinely can’t understand why they’ve been falling short lately. Remember Mondayare strong vocalists with beautiful harmonies and solid stage presence—that’s definitely their biggest strength here. Hopefully, in the coming years, the UK will raise the bar overall with their entries.
