9 tweets that perfectly sum up the reaction to the UK’s Eurovision entry Joe and Jake

So, the public has chosen, and now we have the UK’s entry for Eurovision 2016. God speed Joe and Jake.

The public voted for the double act in Friday night’s BBC4 show Eurovision: You Decide – so this year, whatever happens, it’s all on us, OK?

The act weren’t the hot favourites before the night, but clearly struck a chord with at least some of the voting public. So, amazingly positive response on Twitter right?

Uhh, not exactly.

1. Some people were definitely excited.

Well the voting public got it right! It's so much better when the BBC give us the chance to vote @JoeandJakemusic #EurovisionYouDecide

2. However, others thought we’d made a terrible, terrible mistake.

#eurovisionyoudecide the public vote for stuff like mps & referenda this proves we cant let them vote on something as serious as eurovision

3. With great power comes great responsibility after all…

4. Some couldn’t help pointing out that this isn’t the first time we’ve had a chance to vote for these boys.

6. But don’t be ridiculous. If we’re to stand any chance, we’ve all got to get behind our act, right?

Wow so much nastiness. We wanted a NF. We got it. We deal with the result and we SHOULD support our act! #EurovisionYouDecide #EurovisionUK
