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 wouldโ€™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 itโ€™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 isnโ€™t strong enough. Unless the juries show them some love and support, I canโ€™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.โ€‹
Grade: 5/10

Stefania: Itโ€™s called What The Hell Just Happened? Honestly, same girls, I was a bit lost too. Theyโ€™ve got energy and attitude, but the song just didnโ€™t quite click with me.
Grade: 2/10

Florin:ย 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:ย 3/10

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