Well he won in 2019 so I'm not sure what his problem is. He sounds a bit sour. And what other country would he even compete for?

I've read Mans comments and it does come across as unprofessional and incredibly ungracious. I am trying to give a little of benefit of the doubt in case he was misquoted. But if he did say that, he has fallen in my estimation. Can't imagine Loreen reacting like that. Humility goes a long way

As a Swede I can confiirm that Måns made a snarky comment in an interview (on camera, not text) right after the show low-key suggesting that the juries didn't know what they were doing this time. He did admit that the next statement might come across as being a sore loser but continued with saying that he might not come back now.

Like I get that he's upset after getting hyped up as the big favorite, but come on. You already won the whole thing and has had incredible success as an icon and even outside of esc in sweden before he won. Felt a bit unprofessional tbh.

Well that confirms it, what a sore loser. I expected better than that from him, honestly. I know it's disappointing and I can understand tears, but saying this stuff just comes across as him being bitter, arrogant and ungracious towards KAJ.

It's right after the whole thing, he should be a sour loser honestly.

Yeah well that's what I mean. It's a stupid comment to make but it's not like I'm gonna start hating on the guy cause of it. Most people would be reactionary like that when media shows up asking questions about your loss 10 minutes after you find out you lost.

John Lundvik getting carried to the finale on name ID and then whining about Koala Tea (TM) is funny, sure, but it's NOTHING compared to Måns spending the last couple weeks taking part in promo for KAJ, giving what seemed to be genuinely gracious comments about how he thinks KAJ will win, talking about how he appreciates what they're doing, then going full mask-off the moment he gets as close as he can without winning to winning. Absolutely delicious. How deeply, deeply Selina Meyer, if that reference makes sense to anyone else. I hope he's haunted by that "Nå JAAAA" with the shiteating grin at the start of the song for years.

Måns would have had a greater chance. Many people who voted KAJ even said on forums that they didnt care about the result in Eurovision while MÅnsfans care.

Who the hell can relate to this?

Me, Britney Spears and zillions of people - we've all been relaxing in saunas whilst I haven't taken part in any revolutions at all. Not even once... can you imagine?! :D

Oh, by the way, HUGE kudos to the Swedish Eurovision powers that be for, once they realized what they had on their hands, not trying to kill KAJ. They got a plum running order spot, a big stage production, and if you think they couldn't have slipped a note to some international juries saying "hey, please get rid of this for us", I admire your faith in the process, but they did no such thing and let the televote play things out.

Honestly, that's one of the things that gives me a lot of faith that I'm right about KAJ being a contender. If the Swedish Eurovision enterprise didn't see them as one, they probably weren't, and they could've really done something about it if they wanted to...but clearly didn't.

No. Loreens win with "Tattoo" aged really bad so ESC will not fall again for bringing back a previous swedish winner wish a basic song but an awesome staging.
