I feel uncomfortable watching Ingrosso move his ass sensually to the rhythm of his song

You're assuming that I mean 'wannabe' in a negative way then...?

Whenever I hear word "wannabe" it sounds negative, to me. :lol: More like, trying way too hard to be someone you are not and you can't be. No offence to you, really, I just wanted to say that he loves to listen to the 80's music the most, especially MJ, this is why his performance looks like this. But everything he tries to do fandom intrepretes in negative way, and I thought so about "wannabe" comment.

Justin Bieber is awesome. ;) But this kind of music is not Bieber's style, he mostly share Bieber's color of the voice, that is all, for me. This style, musically, is Weeknd, Charlie Puth, adn Daft Punk.

[MENTION=15221]Citelis[/MENTION], look at this, you will understand then. :) Also, he stated in his interview that he doesn't listen the modern music, like Bieber, only 80's-90's music.

Mostly his style reminds me Justin Bieber! ''Dance you off'' is not a song that Bieber would sing i think!

They kinda look like in face, too, and clothing style, and mostly by voice. Benjamin's voice is really almost same as Bieber's, it is obvious. :D And maybe in the future he will have songs that will be the same style of Bieber, but DYO is inspired by the influences in video I posted above. :)

Hahaha, well, he was one of the most hated singers few years ago, but mostly hetero boys hate him, but gays and girl love him, I think it is same with Benjamin. :)

Those are some wise words, because it is so true, in general, and when it comes to success in all jobs, and not just music. :D :lol:

Very very good first rehearsal!!

I actually thought the lights looked even better now than in Melodifestivalen, it will stand out so much!
This is on a completely own level if you compare to the other performances.

One thing though, if you look 30 sec in the video below the timing with his movements and the light is not right and it was like this in Melodifestivalen as well, they need to fix this!




Also funny to listen to "experts" who complain about the performance basically be the same as in Melodifestivalen, first of all why change something this good? Don´t understand the bad in the idea to keep the same performance .
Of course for the "ESC-fans" that have seen it several times before is not as exciting, but 90% of all who watch and vote will see it for the first time.

Second of all, what could they do to imporve this even more? Add a lot of pyrotechnics and dancers, yeah because that would surely suit this song..

I guess this is more like MTV-music award style than the ordinary Eurovision performance when it comes to staging and that is good for the whole competition I think.

Still don´t get how :se: can be only 8th i the odds, can not be taken seriously...:?

I agree with you on everything, this is amazing and will stay for me. Experts are shitty, if I must to be rude. I don't get how stupid Norway is 3rd, and this beauty only 8th, and it will likely fall down more. This year is so delusional, when it comes to odds. And all the previous Melfest winners kept the original staging exactly the same, why to complain now?!

They are lower in the odds because many believe the song doesn't have the impact to win. Which it doesn't.

Rybak's song is objectively worse than this, I hope you know it, even if you like it. It doesn't have winning impact too. He is up at the odds just because of his name, nothing else, and I wish him to flop, because it is the only thing he deserves. His times are gone. [MENTION=4958]QwaarJet[/MENTION]

I wonder why you are ALWAYS refering to Rybak. You seem really hurt.

It's even funnier that people are surprised it's the same performance as in MF. Uhm hello? Did you JUST started watching the ESC? :lol:
