Sweden SWEDEN 2014 - Sanna Nielsen - Undo

One question . The second part of the votes were the juries or the public ??

I know all this. I'm just arguing against the notion that Ace's song was something fresh when it really isn't. I don't think it was fresh even in the context of Melodifestivalen as we have had quite a few spoken word/rap pop entries over the past few years.

I have to disagree, Ace's song is not revolutionary, but I'd still call it up-to-date and fresh in this context...

Public...

It's the only justice that could be served after the atrocious event of today...

I can understand if y'all are butthurt, but I wouldn't call coming second, with only a 1 point margin an atrocious event. It's not like she came last with next to no points.

Well i was 50% on Sanna side , and 50% On Ace Side , so i am still happy with results... If Ace will write same kinda song like she had now , then she will win it for sure . Electro/Dance Song.

To me it's a bit of an oxymoron to say that ESC shouldn't chase trends but should stay in touch. Staying in touch means going by what is trendy at the moment, at least in my book.

I see what you mean, but what I think there's a difference between desperately chasing (which often ends up contrived or actually dated) or just effortlessly staying in touch...

And again, I don't hate contemporary music as some in here might do, I'm not that prude and music snobby... I think there's good and bad in most genres and most era's of music... and yes I think for the sake of credibility ESC should atleast feel somewhat relevant... I mean cliché ballads aren't gonna make that happen..

To be honest, the only song I thought sounded pretty fresh in the Melodifestivalen contest this year was EKO's "Red" as I can't recall the last time we had proper synth pop in the contest.

I think the fact that she nearly won is even more annoying... if she was just totally robbed I think people (like me) would be pissed but seeing her so close is just more upsetting somehow.

I sorta liked that one too... its weakness was that it was... well a bit weak...

good choice for sweden imo
and after so many tries i think she deserves it

 

[theCONWEL]

Now I have to wait until November to get any MF buzz at all SO hoping for Erik Rapp next year

I think no one deserves to win MF based on the amount of tries, an act deserves to win it only if they have the best song... I mean I couldn't care if someone entered once or each year since 1965...

I totally agree here. EKO's "Red" had everything; a haunting melancholic melody, an original arrangement (at least in the MF context) and a really cool sound.

I give 12 points for my lovely SANNA !

 

[Gera11]

Ew, seriously Sweden?

 

[MakDok]

OMG SO FREAKIN HAPPY FOR SANNA. I THOUGHT ACE HAD IT IN THE BAG AND WAS SO DISAPPOINTED. THANK YOU SWEDISH PEOPLE!

Also I wanna say Ace may have got many 12 pointers but also 1 jury she received 0 from, and one only 1 points, while Sanna got somthing from all. In the end I still think Sanna will do better at ESC than Ace would have done (with no pre-recorded backing vocals)

Fully deserved for Queen Sanna after 7 tries.

I think I can come across as quite snobbish in regards to the music that's popular today.. but I don't listen and think "This is dreadful because it's modern and trendy", I listen and think that it's just not good music. Current pop music just leaves me feeling cold. It's all so contrived, the heart never feels in the right place.

That's why I like Eurovision so much, it's the only place really that I can still get my pop fix... otherwise i'd just be an incredibly bitter snob listening to old drugged up German folk singers all day (which I do for half the year) Without that special kind of pop Eurovision has i'd be miserable.

 

[Dessi]

Well... I'm 42 years old, i've been here a whole lot of while... and I'm used to it ALL. I had hopes for Ace Wilder and Alcazar. I Loved Sanna, Ellen and Helena as well. But honestly, for me it all was all about Sanna or Ace Wilder, and no one else was ever close. I DO still love Alcazar ofcoure.... Most of all I would have loved to have a song written and performed by ROBYN
