Re: SWEDEN 2018
Perhaps Loreen takes part again? I think we will see Anton Hagman, Benjamin Ingrosso and perhaps Jon-Henrik again. FO&O is out since their boy group is over.
I think last year's hosts we're terrible. Clara and David both showed potential, but Hasse ruined everything completely and threw off the group dynamic. I'm 50 % sure David is going to be better this year and deliver a better hosting performance on his own
I doubt Loreen will take part, she'll release her new album soon so the timing is odd if she's aiming for another MF attempt, and quite frankly I don't think she wants to do it again, maybe in the future but not at the time being.
Those "boy" idols are just a bore, I really hope Sweden will send something different this year and it would be nice with a female for a change (hope Wiktoria will enter, she was robbed last year). Jon-Henrik is ok though as he actually brings something unique to the table, FO&O is one of the worst things happening to music though so that's good that group is over.
Hasse wasn't good sure, but nor was the manuscript that was simply tired old ageism and it was simply written to make fun of him, not to laugh with him (which is a complete different thing), it was very awkward and uncomfortable at times, so no doubt he felt off and uncomfortable (I think he'd be good in a complete different smaller setting and concept though, but not in such a big production with an ageist script-writer to top it with) and I could also feel some tension between him and Clara aswell, she (unlike David) doesn't come across as some sympathetic person, but yes I agree she did a good job overall and Clara and David alone would have been better.
