Sweden SWEDEN 2016 - Frans - If I Were Sorry

[lavieenrose]

It's not my song.

Then I see a very simple solution in leaving it to the people who are really attached to it to be scared about the hate it gets.

He won't go Anywhere i May But to his home, and with 0 points.

WOW! so happy Sweden picked this! I was happy with about 6 songs but this and Samuir & Viktor were my favourites!

I am so happy this is representing Sweden it is different from what Sweden have previously sent and it reminds me a bit of Justin Biebers latest stuff! I think he will gain a lot of fans in May and I think the Beliebers will take to him!

Love the song! absolute TUNE!
It is in my top 3.. I am trying to decide which I like more, Sweden Lithuania or Cyprus

Just looking through some of these pages... I should have remembered to buy some popcorn before reading the Swedish thread after MF final

I like all those three! Bless being on the opposite ends of the taste spectrum.

I put Poland and San Marino in my top 10 but this is really too much now for me.

Surprised to see so many zeros for this song, probably because of the country.
I personally enjoy this very much, 10 points

How about because the song is very very bad?????

Then what motivation would I have to put Sanna Nielsen #3 in my 2014 rankings or call ABBA my favorite ESC artist ever or place Euphoria above even my favorite non-ABBA ESC artist ever in 2012 or give Malena Ernman a spot in my top 10 in the best ESC year ever or defend at every turn Anna freaking Bergendahl? I love Sweden and their presence at ESC and have grown increasingly tired of "it's Sweden and that's why you don't like it."

You're always making difficulties! you hate it because its Sweden! you hate the swedes! hahaha joke

I cant believe we love the same stuff but still somehow have totally different opinions on so many songs lol

As long as you love Queen Ira of Losco's new entry we will be fine

Or maybe, just maybe, because the song is utterly horrible?

 

[nekoisneko]

oh god, I never understand why this song is so hyped :'>

 

[Anthony Tesla]

I think this could be kind of a paper tiger; let's see: so he won by around 14.4% of the vote... that's not a lot. Compare it with last year, when Mans won with 35% of the vote. Heck, even Jon Henrik, the runner-up, had a higher proportion of the vote: 18.6%, and Frans BARELY had a higher number than the third place (Hasse: 14.3%).

It is remarkable because let's remember of the previous polling: Frans won them with HUGE margins, and in the end, he won but with a 5% of difference between him and the runner-up is, a clear victory, but not the landslide a lot of us were waiting for.

I think he benefited of being in kind of a weak year: no song truly rallied the fans behind it. We had no Mans, no Sanna, certainly no Loreen. I can see him having a nice place in Eurovision, but not truly enough to be a real threat to other countries.

It was just a weak year: a lack of variety in the final, seriously, no Power Ballads, no Rock songs, nothing ethnic: I know that reducing the participants from 32 to 28 was aiming to make a more closer competition, but seems like it's the opposite, we're losing diversity and variety (YES: even with a song with a chorus in Swahilli).

The televoting was so close! If only the jury had downmarked the song

I've been on this forum a long time now and I never recall Sweden getting majority zeros before

Admittedly, it is ridiculous that it has majority zeros, it clearly is not a 0. But when things are "hyped" you get lovers and haters, when in fact, the hyped thing is somewhere in the middle. It's not just Sweden who suffers from this fate, I know it well It just so happens that this particular hype appears to have more haters than lovers among fans, but I doubt that will end up with nul points on the night

The reason Frans had such a low percentage and the voting was so close is also because the app votes were on effect on this year's final, that didn't happened last year. With the app voting everybody gets 5 free votes for each song, so it's normal a lot of people will give 5 votes for their top favourites and a few votes to the others as well, instead of voting via the cellphone, which makes the results be much more even. That's why the total number of votes is so much bigger than normal (this year the final had 12 million votes, last year there was 1.5 million votes...) So if it was televoting only, without the app voting, Frans would probably get a bigger % than he got, sadly.

I really don't like this song.

I love how everyone was going on about how amazing this song is, and then when it wins, everyone starts hating it.

Almost everybody on this forum disliked the song from the start

This is what I thought when I first logged in tonight I was like... sure everyone loved it this time yesterday?!
