Sweden SWEDEN 2018 - Benjamin Ingrosso - Dance You Off

[A-lister]

Benjamin got about 70 000 more votes than the runner-up. It’s not a huge number, but I wouldn’t call it barely. Again, blaming teen girls: the international juries must be a group of Justin Bieber fans then?

For four years in a row, both the Swedish televoter and the international jury had a male favorite. To think that a gender would be discriminated in such a show as Melodifestivalen or Eurovision is just odd.

I'm speaking about the televoters not the IJ, and quite frankly I never cared too much about the IJ, those are just Björkman's pals in the other delegations, half of whom are middle age gay men that have a tendency to fall for younger guys

By the way, Was it only me or did Jessicas backing track in the final sound one note to dark compared to the semis and the studio version?

Thank you! It's not only her voice that sounds different. It's also the backing track. I'm playing her performances from the semi and the final and I can definitely hear differences in music and her voice of course. As if someone messed with the pitch.

Who ranked Anton Ewald 10th out of 10th in 2014. My point was that the international juries agreed with the televoters.

Am I th only one expecting for 2019 a boyband consisting of Eric Saade, Robin Stjernberg, Mans Zelmerlow, Frans, Robin Bengtsson and Benjamin Ingrosso

Its not even about being male, more about how they are the same type of vanille flavoured artists. However I do enjoy some of them and l dont dislike any of them (except maybe Eric Saade). I just wish Sweden broke out of their same repetitive formula. I know Its a guarentee for success, But you lose a little respect in the process.

 

[LakZaNokte]

Looks like Sweden is stuck in neverending loop with esc entries.

Justin Timberlake style but without Justin.
I thought last year’ Sweden was bland but guess this took the top.
Forgetful, bland, uninteresting.

Sorry peoples, it’s a 3

The hate this one gets is unreal if another country sent this song people would be calling it a masterpiece

Yes, its the 3rd Time in a row that Sweden has more 0s than 12s and then people keep saying its only because of the Song and not because of the Country
I think the Fact that this will easily get a Top5-10 makes them Haters hating this Entry even more.

Sadly true, but I guess this is the result of jealousy because of our great results from 2011 and onward

 

[FilipFromSweden]

It will never be about how many hates an entry. It will always be about how many likes it.

It is the burden of doing well at anything. Azerbaijan got this kind of hate when they were constantly top 5 and they were replaced by Sweden when they started doing worse. I wonder who'll be next - my guess is Bulgaria.

 

[Mimoliin]

I feel quite neutral about our entry this year. It's nothing special, really. "Meh" is all I feel when I hear it.

I was rooting for Felix, but I guess Benjamin has better chances in Lisbon. His performance is stunning, that I can't deny.

5 pts.

Instead of appreciating the Hard Work that some Countries do to this Contest... Some Users would probably like to get rid of Sweden and rather have a Eurovision with 42 San Marinos, Macedonias, Switzerlands, Montenegros etc..instead.

Well, I guess the song will find it’s fair share of audience but I don’t like it
Don’t like that type of songs/music in general, so it’s not personal.

But seriously, if a country X sent, for example, some jazz-ish stuff year after year I would also say they’re getting boring. However, that approach can be found only with esc fans who actually remember songs from previous years.

She also had Molly Pettersson Hammar as backing vocalist in the final, you can hear her through the whole performance

 

[Dorientje]

my favorite was Samir & Viktor - Shuffla love that song.

but I think that Benjamin is a better choice. and i like the song 2.and the stage show is just very good
they really know how to sell a song.
the only thing I do not like is his nod (with his head)
I find that even a bit scary
good luck Sweden

[MyHeartIsYours]

Ngl it should have been LIAMOO (that song ), but still a great entry. Sweden guaranteed top 5 imo, possible winner. Personally I give it 10 points.

 

[Citelis]

Yes, this one is top 5 for sure! And winner propably! Not my favorite this year but juries gonna love it!

 

[midnightsun]

I don’t understand why many people like this. The voice! So annyoing! When I searched for the video on you Tube and found it, I thought someone turned up the speed to avoid copyright. I can’t stand the voice! The song itself is okay, I love the beat but comparing it to Czech Republic, the Czech Song is much much better!

 

[Citelis]

Somehow i prefer this one over Czech Republic! But still none of them is on my top 10!
