Nul Points! Eurovision hopeful Mae Muller is savaged after forgetting the words to her OWN song

She’s lined up to represent the UK in next month’s Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool.

But Mae Muller’s latest performance of her self-penned song, titled I Wrote A Song, was widely criticized when she seemed to forget the words.

After a clip of the 25-year-old on stage was shared on TikTok this week, fans feared for her hopes in the competition.

Despite exuding a lot of confidence on stage, she seemingly chose to hum to the music while the excited audience did all the singing.

While sharing the video, one fan wrote, “She wrote a song… but she can’t sing it.”

While another said: ‘I keep seeing videos and everyone says she’s sick, it will get better tonight, or it’s not at full production.. but it’s not getting better?’.

And more commented, “Terrible” and “I’m disappointed.”

Others, however, were quick to jump to the singer’s defense ahead of next month’s contest.

One of which stated, “This is at the end of the song where she improvises and just had a good time with the crowd.” The rest of the performance is fantastic. You know that’.

And: ‘I’ve seen her live twice and she was amazing, you posted a little clip from an entire performance’.

While a fourth said, “You’re posting a 15-second clip? The whole performance is actually very good. Crazy people try to destroy Mae’.

It comes after the BBC sparked anger among Eurovision fans after ‘breaching’ the contest’s impartiality rules.

On Thursday, the BBC News website ran a ‘disparaging’ article outlining some of Europe’s hopefuls.

Music journalist Mark Savage certainly lived up to his surname, as he predicted where acts would end up and accused some that they probably wouldn’t even qualify for the finals.

But in just a month’s time, the Beeb will be broadcasting the extravaganza live from M&S Bank Arena Liverpool.

“A poignant, ambitious hymn to togetherness, with lyrics that Coldplay would have turned down for being too two,” said Mark of the Irish entry, We Are One by Wild Youth.

In addition, he claimed that the band was “about as rowdy and unpredictable as a washcloth” and expected them to lose in the first semi-final.

I Wrote a Song, submitted by Mae’s UK entry, also received a double compliment from Mark.

“It’s probably too generic to top the standings, but this camp disco stunner is hard to ignore,” he commented – before predicting she’ll finish in eighth place.

Ridiculing Joker Out’s Carpe Diem, Slovenia’s entry, he wrote, “When it’s done, you won’t remember it ever happened.”

Mark predicted the tune would make the bottom five, but the outraged band told it The sun: ‘We have to admit that reading it on the BBC, the presenter of the Eurovision Song Contest, has left a bad taste in our mouths.

“The process and journey for Eurovision is very hard on the minds and bodies of the participants, and we believe the BBC knows that and shouldn’t scare the participants that they won’t be taken seriously when we get to the event itself.

“Some of us countries are really racing Lamborghinis with bikes, so every stick on the road makes it that much harder for us to compete.”

When the journalist shared his latest article on Twitter, his followers accused him of his lack of “respect” while questioning his adherence to impartiality guidelines.

One of them wrote: “I think a little more respect could have been shown… especially from the host broadcaster…”

Another wrote: ‘Truly unnecessary disparaging comments about some artists. Disrespectful to any artist who puts himself forward. Is this @bbceurovision’s official opinion?’

A third added: “Most unprofessional coming from the host broadcaster, also often wrong,” while a fourth agreed with: “So unprofessional and disrespectful…”

A source at the BBC said: ‘BBC News is completely editorially independent and not the voice of the BBC.’
