Hampshire Girls Blanked by Public Vote During Eurovision

Remember Monday are a country-pop trio from Hampshire, UK, comprising Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull, and Charlotte Steele. They represented the United Kingdom at the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 with their song "What the Hell Just Happened?" The group gained attention for their vibrant performance and distinctive style.

The UK’s Eurovision 2025 entry, Remember Monday, finished in 19th place at the Grand Final held on May 17 in Basel, Switzerland. Their song, “What The Hell Just Happened?”, received 88 points from the jury but unfortunately scored zero points from the public vote.

They delivered a theatrical performance in colourful corseted ballgowns. While some viewers praised their energy and charm, others criticised the act as off-key and likened them to “pound shop Disney princesses.”

Despite mixed reviews, "What The Hell Just Happened?" reached No. 59 on the UK Official Singles Sales Chart and No. 10 on the Official Singles Downloads Chart.

This marks the UK’s second consecutive Eurovision disappointment, following Olly Alexander’s 18th-place finish in 2024.

It's believed that Andrew Lloyd Webber is involved in a lucrative deal for the three Remember Monday girls and so justice prevails, by all accounts.

The Eurovision Song Contest was established in 1956 by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) with the primary aim of uniting European countries through a shared television experience centered on music.

In the aftermath of the second world war, the contest sought to foster cultural exchange and mutual understanding among nations by providing a platform where countries could showcase original songs and celebrate their unique musical identities.

Over the decades, Eurovision has evolved into a global spectacle, renowned for its diverse performances, elaborate staging, and vibrant expressions of national and cultural pride. Despite occasional political controversies, the contest continues to emphasize its foundational values of unity, inclusivity, and the unifying power of music.

This commitment is reflected in themes like the 2025 contest's "Unity Shapes Love," inspired by the Swiss tradition of direct democracy and dialogue.

Today, Eurovision stands as one of the world's most-watched non-sporting events, drawing hundreds of millions of viewers annually. It serves not only as a celebration of musical talent but also as a testament to the enduring spirit of collaboration and cultural appreciation across borders.
