LOL well you are right but sometimes the more fans you get the more haters you have! Like Justin Bieber! He is very succesful but way to many people hating him because of his success! Maybe the same happens with Sweden!

LOL, a lot of people call Benjamin Justin Bieber, and hate him because of that, too, but I guess it is not his fault that their voices are similar :) Some people are also wondering like me why this song gets barely any recognition amoung fans :) :lol: I mean, this is just my opinion, but like other songs are masterpieces (except some rare, like Greece entry, original, magical), for me, there is a lot of average songs this year, and nobody is pointing finger on them :)

Oh, people do! There are many average songs this time, and Sweden is definitely not the only song People don't like! No matter if it's Iceland, Montenegro, Ireland, Australia, Germany- people aren't fond of the mediocrity.

For me mediocrity are Finland and Czech Republic, altough I like them, but people are amazed by them, and throwing hate on Sweden...Czech Pepublic is in almost everyone's top 5 or 10, and the song is just so unoriginal, it hurts. Double standards!

I do agree about Finland and Czech Republik. But the other countries sent in mediocre songs as well. Countries don't dare to send unique and extraordinary songs. I admit: Not that I don't fall for mediocre songs myself now and then. But they still have to be good in some way. I also have to admit that I don't like Sweden's song, but mostly because of the voice. Not my taste.:lol:

You've got a good point! Every year, only few countries send unique song :) But for me it is unrealistic to say that this song is the worst amoung lot of pop songs this year. I am quite objective.

Well Sweden is very succesful in recent years at Eurovision and many people think that even with a bad song Sweden will go well again! Also Sweden always gets a lot of help by juries! Australia, Azerbaijan, Norway and others gets a lot of hate this year too for several reasons!

''Euphoria'' was my favoyrite Eurovision winner in the decade! This one is not that good but still not that bad as people people! If they win i don't have problem and also Sweden do amazing hosts usually!

I have same opinion about Euphoria, my favourite, too. :) I know Dance you off is not that good, but I think it deserves top 5 or top 10 placement, and not out of final or last place, like many people here are saying :)

I'm sure that Top 10 is sure for Sweden!

I am not so sure and optimistic, because it is really hated massively, but Frans was hated more than Robin, and he did better in televote than him. I think the hate is maybe only among fans, but not among ordinary televiewers. Ordinary people these days like to listen such mainstream American pop music. :D

Exactly! Many people will watch Eurovision in the SFs and will vote but they are not fans! You won't find them on forums and other Eurovision pages now!

Only fans know that Sweden always do well, and they are mad, because they think that their success is undeserved. I don't think so, even if I am not fan of their entry every year, but I know their music industry is among best in world. Because of that, I am not really mad, anytime they do well, because they just know how to do it well, their songs are almost always just good enough for even little success. :D Hahah, I sound too serious sometimes. :lol:

It's true that Sweden's music industry is one of the best!

Nothing can top "Euphoria" for me, when it comes to what Sweden has given us recently. This song sounds just like one of many heard on the radio these days for me. I think you can do better, guys. :)

Am I the only one getting serious George Michael vibes, both looks and soundwise?

You are not the only one, this song has that 80's vibe, like George Michael, Bee Gees, etc. I like it like that, it makes this song different a bit from other generic songs this year :) I like music from that period of time. From my point of view it is plus for this song, but of course, some people would think it is something negative.
