Does anyone in here actually believe we have a realistic chance of winning? And does anyone (outside OGAE) actually want us to win, again? Will it affect ESC negatively if we win (=ESC in Scandinavia three years in a row)?

I'm torn I must say. Sure, wouldn't be sad if we won - but I would be happier if it was with a better song than "Undo". It's not a bad song, but not worthy of the trophy. And I'm afraid that if we would host in 2015, a bunch of countries would withdraw xshrug I'm also not sure hosting two Eurovisions so close to each other would make the show so great, it's a risk it would lack creativity.

But then again, it could go either way on May 10th. Massive flop, victory or something in-between.

I think it's a possibility.

This is a fan-wank, you won't win with this useless song with wrong lyrics. This year everybody loves a song so predictable and when I see massive support I start to hate the song, I'm sorry (they say that Aram is overrated... and this one???). I don't think Sanna will be a massive flop but sure this won't win.

I admit, 'Undo my sad' really makes me sad. They could at least write a song with correct grammar xD

Makes you sad and in the end of comment you burst out laughing .. :mrgreen:

It actually made you happy and laughing! :D :)

That is a different sentence ;) My sadness was linked to the first sentence only. I laughed at how they didn't write a song with correct grammar xD

Yes, but in this case I can understand why they used 'sad' instead of 'sadness'. The noun would be totally out of melody and wouldn't fit the music. They should have came up with a different word and as they used 'pain' later in the lyrics, it could be 'grief' for example.

I can understand why you make it so big deal... it's just a word even it is undeo my sad,or sadness, or sad love it doesn't change how the song sounds...

Someone suggested:
Undo myself
which in grammatical as well as poetical sense was approved by a Brit living in Sweden (Kris Boswell). :D

Later she says "sad love" though which makes more sense I guess. But it's only the same as using ain't instead of isn't and don't instead of doesn't. Technically doesn't make sense, but it works with the melody, and is understandable. So whatevz :mrgreen:

Well, it's a big deal for me, it's incorrect. If the UK submitted this song, they would have stones being thrown at them for using bad grammar!

English is your native language. Sweden's in Swedish. And remember it's Kempe the same guy who wrote my signature. His lyrics are maybe catchy but they aren't for ballad. But the most of the people don't pay attention to the lyrics. If the sound is good they vote

I know what country speaks what language. If I was going to sing in Swedish, I'd have the grammar correct and checked a thousand times before releasing it. I just find it a little strange how a song with bad grammar could even have chances of winning.

The "Undo my sad" part is really disturbing and actually ruins an otherwise good song. The same with the "I'm gonna save me"-part in the second verse.
