Boy George helped steal the spotlight at one of Eurovision's biggest annual pre-parties as the singer joined San Marino's Senhit on stage in London, while the United Kingdom's own 2026 entry continues to face harsh criticism online.
TheLondon Eurovision Partyreturned to HERE at Outernet over the weekend, bringing together a host of acts set to compete in this year's Eurovision Song Contest. The event has given fans an early glimpse of performances before the main competition begins in May.
This year, however, much of the reactions were focused on excitement over Boy George's surprise involvement and growing backlash around the UK's chances.
Boy George, one of Britain's most recognisable pop stars, appeared alongside Senhit, who is representing San Marino this year with the song 'Superstar.'
The duet marked a major live moment for the track and gave the small nation one of the weekend's most talked-about performances.
Fans inside the venue reportedly responded warmly, with flags waving throughout the crowd and many singing along.
The singer, best known as a member of Culture Club, remains a familiar figure to audiences across Europe and beyond, making his appearance grab attention in the competition.
While San Marino enjoyed positive buzz, the UK's entry Look Mum No Computer has been met with a more mixed response.
The artist, known for his electronic style, is representing Britain at Eurovision 2026.
However, some online commentators have already branded the act 'boring,' with others questioning whether it can compete strongly against flashier entries.
