What does Blue's Eurovision entry sound like?

Earlier today, DS were invited to a London club of the trendy sort to listen to Blue's comeback/Eurovision track. We'll admit that initially we weren't 100% sold on the idea of our favourite noughties boyband going Euro, but are we convinced after hearing the song in full? Here are our initial thoughts:

    Blue for Eurovision
  • First things first, the song is called 'I Can' and it was written by the boys themselves - well, Duncan and Lee anyway - and was produced by Rihanna/Ne-Yo/Beyoncé hitmakers Stargate.


  • "We're not the first ones to be divided/ Won't be the last to be reunited," they sing on the first verse - a line which pretty much sums up the entire song.


  • The chorus has a meaty, stadium-sized feel to it not unlike Tinie Tempah's 'Written In The Stars'. They sing: "I can, I will, I know/ I can untie these hands and get back up again."


  • Hurrah! Lee Ryan's much-missed ad-libbing makes a welcome return.


  • Essentially, it sounds like a Blue song for 2011, or as Lee Ryan put it: "A step up, an evolved version of us."
