The video is really beautiful, gorgeous lighting. The song may be nothing extraordinary but they are doing everything right to portray it as well as they can. Tastefully done.

I thought the video was very cool!! And the heart smashing on the floor is controversial, yet super effective. And HabaHaba, let me remind you of the quality of videos we are used to in Australia:

So why do you even try?

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know I had to seek your approval. Maybe next time I will consider consulting you before I actually care what you have to say. :)

Anyways...

The production of the video is absolutely poor. I mean there is no originality or creative planning whatsoever. I can make the same music video for under $10..

Oh, Liam. You are, without a doubt, part of what's wrong with Eurovision...

So, the F! valskivan (special EU election music box) was released this morning. It's available on Spotify at least in Sweden as of now. The fact that a political party is releasing music is a pretty interesting event whatever you think about its politics. Melodifestivalen relevance is given by participating artists Crucified Barbara, Ellen Benediktson, Berang Miri, Sarah Dawn Finer and Lisa Nilsson.

I went straight to For BDK - Close your mouth it's not your fight (new song) which turned out to be very different from their previous tracks. I like it though. Else there's so much rap :/

What's wrong with what I said? I think Up is a terrible video with terrible production values and zero creativity.

I never said that Samantha Jade's music video was any better either...

You don't need to be sorry, I was just curious.

I just want to add on what I said about Australia/Sweden in terms of music videos, so I don't seem argumentative for no reason :lol:

Australia's music industry is the 6th largest in the world, and worth 3x as much as in Sweden, so arguably, has more money to spend on music videos than record labels in Sweden. Also, if you consider that Samantha Jade is currently Australia's most successful female artist after Jessica Mauboy, you'd expect a lot of money and effort to be put into her clips. Sanna Neilsen has only just released her 2nd video in how many years? Only in the last 2 years have labels started producing videos for MF winners before Eurovision begins, I recall, and given the level of priority given to music videos in Sweden, they are a hell of a lot better than most of the videos released by Jessica Mauboy and Guy Sebastian as well. I'm not saying either country is better, but comparing one music industry to another, money constraints considered, the quality of the music videos produced in MAJOR LABELS Sweden is much higher than in Australia.

To be fair though, Undo's video is just a weaker version of this:


So when Australia gets it right, it slays :D But, of course, it would be silly to compare Australia and Sweden's output to the UK and US as I and others often do. So I appreciate what we do have. Good allocation is key on a smaller budget, and I think Sanna's team did it well.

Mhmm, and I'm exactly what's wrong with Eurovision because...?

Don't make statements you can't back up, sweetness. You are exactly what's wrong with the world.

Who said I was finished, Liam? I surely didn't! I just find it hilarious how most of you always support the same crap that has plagued the contest in the past. This is why the contest will never progress forward in terms of music. The fans are, without a doubt, exactly what's wrong with Eurovision. As for me being exactly what's wrong with the world... please... the world isn't even on my level.

I just don't know what I am supposedly supporting? Poor production values and accepting lesser quality it seems? It's a song contest, not a video contest. Sweden's song is great, the Cheesecake song, whatever country that's from, is absolute garbage. And that's something I don't support, but people like it and will vote for it, so whatever. Perhaps it is pining one country against another? Isn't that the whole point of the CONTEST anyway? I said the music video was good, and then actually provided some insight into WHY I think it's good.

Oh, and bitch, I'm allowed an opinion so go **** yourself.

Go on then. I assume you must have a liquid nitrogen tank already because they cost about £700. You must also have some friends willing to dance for you and a snazzy camera to film it on. I can't wait to see the results.
