The Melodifestivalen contestants recently reacted to different entries from this year. They didn't really like LOTL lol...

Isn't it amazing how two neighbors can be so different? Sweden vs Finland and with Norway in between. Outside of Eurovision, Finland and Norway are the two rock nations. And I will say; Sweden DOES have some great rock bands as well.
It's just Melodifestivalen... and I feel, with great sadness, MGP has gone more and more in a Melodifestivalen direction

 

[Semra]

Yeah they also did respond in a negative way about Serbia...Their entry is different as well

Serbia is very well received among many here in Norway. For some reason, "electronic sounds" have been big here for a long time. Indie music in general.
I believe Germany may get some votes from the Norwegian public. Many people like rock up here.

Yeah, but I'm talking OUTSIDE Eurovision. Most rock or indie acts up here are too snobby to participate.

Head over to Kalush Kingdom and copy that to the thread "Your mum's favourite" which I have just opened. I want that written down and perpetuated!

For me is a deserved 10.
It's almost perfection. In deutsch it would have been a multiple orgasmic moment.
Germany is going to have a good result this year.

Negative comments about LOTL being chosen, great commentator, but only in German!
LOTL also said thank you to him in the comments, they loved the video!

 

[midnightsun]

LOTL themselves commented on the negative remarks about them too and their answers are so funny.
But I expected them to polarize. It’s okay. Next year we can have Ikke, I have my German metal band finally this year and can die happy now!

Juries will let them tank for sure!

But, it all depends on if they are able to energize their fans around the globe. If they can’t we will be bottom 5 again. But I‘m positive they will. :-)

Motivation is everything! :-)

It's a from me. I do like the metal type entries and would listen a lot to rock and metal anyway. I've been humming it since I heard it. Love the lyrics and the screaming bit at the end of the chorus. I do think the staging needs a bit more work to make it more fun for the viewers at home, provided that is done I expect this to do well in the televote.

Sorry in advance for a small OT.
How different is German language in Germany and Austria in writing? I know it's quite different when spoken. Have studied German for 6 years (long time ago), but I've noticed it's usually quite hard to understand Austrians

I also studied German for a couple of years in university, but I cannot understand Austrian German at all. To me it feels like another language. I am pretty sure that the writing should be quite similar, it is just the pronunciation is different.

Apart from a few specific words in Austrian German it’s the same, no difference.

I am German, but lived 3 years in Vienna. In the beginning, it felt strange since the Austrian language is quite different. You could say it is a kind of dialect, but never say that to an Austrian cause they see their language as an own. But there are different words. For example in German we say "Brötchen" for bread roll, but in Austria they say "Semmel", or we say "Aubergine" for eggplant and in Austria "Melanzani", ect. There are many more words that differs between German and Austrian, but otherwise the written language is the same!
