Usually I'm against spoilers, so I don't listen to songs until the contest begins. However, I decided to listen to this one, just because it has over 400 posts about it and how it said to be a "candidate for winning".
And seriously... this song is boring and it doesn't appeal to me at all.

If you find this boring you really should check out the rest :lol:

Hi AdelAdel

I so.... agree with you. I normally never listen to the songs before the semifinals but this year I listen to all the songs except Sweden, and can you believe it, they are so boring

You two (if you're not the same person) really need to listen to the rest then, especially from that very semi... *yawn*

such "constructive" comments.

Sorry, we aren't the same person. And what's the big deal? I'm just saying that this song doesn't appeal to me, I loved the Belgian one instead, which most people bashed. I'm not going to listen to the second semi before tonight, but just saying, from the first semi - Greece, Cyprus, Belgium, Finland, Israel, Latvia, Iceland and Romania were better than the Swedish song to my taste.

Even as Belgian I have to laugh with it
sorry

It's a matter of taste. You can't discuss that!

I don't really like the Swedish entry as well, is it a crime :lol: ?!

I don't care much what is the country that the singer represents, I judge songs, not countries. And yes, in my opinion, it was better - the song was catchy, Iris has a great, soft voice and the lyrics made more sense than in the Swedish one.

^^

but I think that with Iris her voice, they could have chosen a way better song, and I also think Finland and Belgium eliminated each other

Much better that her rehearsals before and the outfit is very good instead of that in the rehearsals!
I liked it more in the national semi-final, but it's close, her vocals are not strong as usual, but still brilliant. What did she do with her hair? Is it red or is it the lightning?!?!?!

As much as I'd like Sweden to win this, I think Loreen will have to be beyond amazing to counter the cuteness effect of the Grannies. Not so sure about a victory right now.
Why do people keep forgetting about the juries, which wield 50% of the powers? The juries will never in a million years support Russia. Russia will be lucky to even get into the Top 5 with the juries snubbing them out of the Top 10 or even the Top 15. Even if the grannies win the televote, the jury snubs will cost them the victory... and rightfully so.

Why are you even in this thread? Were you just lurking in the thred waiting for someone to post something negative to agree with?

Thank Goddess this has proper camera work. Did the semi-final #1 entrants simply not give the camera crew proper directions? Or is the crew deliberately botching everyone else's camera angles so Loreen can win (I'm joking, joking!)? :D I was so afraid the crew would botch Loreen's camera angles as well, but this is very promising. I guess the semi-final #1 entrants were just really bad at working out good camera angles.

You do realize that overrated songs never win, right? Anyone remember Kate Ryan? Many declared her and "obvious winner" before the ESC, and she didn't make it out of the semi.

Hopefully Sweden hype dies down, the song shouldve certainly won Melodifestivalen which it did, but tbh it isn't so much better than the rest of the field at Baku.

Kate Ryan had shoddy vocals and a weak song ("Shut the Door" isn't really that memorable after only one round), plus her choreography was possibly a bit too "high brow" for people to take to.

Also, "overrated songs" never win? Song declared "obvious winners" never win? Like, oh, Norway 2009 ("Fairytale") or Germany 2010 ("Satellite")? "Fly on the Wings of Love" (Denmark 2010), "Wild Dances" (Ukraine 2004), "My Number One" (Greece 2005), "Molitva" (Serbia 2007) and "Believe" (Russia 2008) were all major favourites prior to the contest as well. By "never", you must mean "often".
