Sweden SWEDEN 2019 - John Lundvik - Too Late for Love

[Pawhlen]

I must say that I've thought about the scenario if Luca represented Sweden with "She Got Me"

We all know what every fan would have said:

"generic popsong"

"so overrated"

"Sweden always send same song over and over again"

 

[Alaska49]

well, to be fair, most internal selections that are loved would get resentment from the same people had they won an NF instead. this year more than ever it's visible how NF bitterness gets ahold of people. "INTERNAL SELECTIONS SAVED THIS YEAR" my ass lol.

I can't believe you guys are actually using a victim card.

In the last 10 years, only twice was your song underrated (2016 - underrated by fans, deserving result, 2010 - ok with fans, undeserving result). 2012 and 2014 got appropriate appreciation and result, 2015 overachieved somewhat (it wasn't the best that year) but more or less a fair result. The other five years, you guys got overrated AF.

And a lot of times, you do send a generic pop song, and do better with them than most other countries would. If you had Belarus' song this year, it'd be getting raves for being a "perfect pop song", but since it's Belarus, it probably won't even qualify.

We have heard the exact same thing since 2015, it´s simple fact. I have never said that the song is bad, but I can gurantee that those comments would have been made by at least 85% of everyone writing in here had it represented us

iceland has passed sweden in some odds markets. sweden is slowly but surely drifting more and more. memba i told you sending john was a risk out of similarity to other contenders. sweden will need to at least change his staging to shift the narrative in their favour.

70% ppl will see it for the first time in TA on television..so it is not that importnt.

Plus jury will appreciate it just like they did in MF final..

If SWI ends higher than SWE with these vocals ESC is officially DEAD and those "professionals" ! :?

Luca won german Idol, whats your Problem with Lucas Vocals?
Anyway I expect SWE to get more Jurypoints that SWI, but I wouldnt be surprised if yet SWI gets more, since his Song has much more Hit-Potential.

 

[Citelis]

Sweden must come 1st with juries!

We all know that the odds in March really tell us the whole outcome in May...

BTW, I didn´t know, it were more gospel acts this year.

Come on, try at least to come with realistic arguments if you are not liking us, this is just pathetic

Luca won German Idol despite of his vocals. He was by far the worst singer until then who won German Idol. Since his victory, German Idol lost its credibility completely. His voice is thin and he sang like a whimpering puppy. Pre-teen girls voted for him and ousted much better singers.

i love how people conspire against Sweden every year but whenever their own favorites do well it's okay
i mean, be humble and admit that the song/performance/singer had merits despite the fact you didn't think so

imagine you were a jury member and you ranked the songs from 1-26 and then people would tell you that you're so wrong because you didn't put that song so high on the list or you put that song second to last etcetera... - i wonder how people would react if that occured?

i actually like john and that's why i am observing that sweden is slipping, and last year that did end up being bad for them. and this is exactly why - no lessons are learned because everyone goes LA LA LA THIS MEANS NOTHING. my argument is very realistic, thank you very much. if john shows up the exact same way he did in melfest, it's very possible he doesn't stand out, because he isn't standing out right now. and this song doesn't deserve that. i didn't endure years of sweden doing well with the bad songs to see them do not as well with the good ones lol.

Sweden is top 4 with the bookies right now and odds always goes up and down before the actual contest begins, the odds will be more interesting when the rehearsals starts.

As for Johns performance I don´t think there will be any problems to stand out to be honest, the song as well the performance is so uplifting and positive and Johns voice and stage presence is amazing.
Also remember it will be the first time people watch this when they see it in Semi 2, most of the viewers have not watch it on Youtube before.
But of course you can always improve something and I´m sure John will do that.

If we look at the countries in the top 5 right now it is only Sweden that we know for a fact will deliver a live performance worthy a top score.
The others is based on their studio versions and we don´t know at all how this will look or work on the stage.

For example I´m not sure at all will work that good on the stage and will deliver vocally?
will probably have great of stageshow but will it be enough to convice the juries?

Of course it is very early and you can´t be sure of anything but I do think we will be in the top 5 this year, and maybe we have chance to win.

But to be honest I don´t think anyone here in Sweden demand a win every other year. First of all we need to qualify from the semi and then if we manage top 5-10 in the final people here will be pleased.

With that said I think SVT and Björkman really want to equal Ireland before Christer retires.

I see this doing pretty good with televoting also.
I heard a lot of people saying this will flop at tvt like Benjamin. Song is much more public friendly, and you can buy it on first listening. About jury, they will like it, no doubt. They will have 280+ points on jury vote.
Potential winner? Yes

So far only Rybak, Loreen, Mans, Dami and Salvador had 280+ points with juries. You are setting the bar extremely high.

If 2015 had 43 jury groups minus the country giving the points (it actually was 38 that year), Russia would have got 265 points of 504 possible. It's really close to Austria's & Sweden's 2018 jury results. Even if the bar is pretty high, bland songs can reach these numbers. John might get around 220-270 from the juries, but it depends how the competition will fare live in May.

 

[choda]

Lack of jury friendly songs this year, remember Austria success last year. Plus - this is Sweden. Juries like exactly this kind of stuff

The correct title should actually be The Mamas ft John Lundvik - Too Late for Love (you need to watch the performance to judge it)

Or John Lundvik ft The Mamas
No seriously those amazing women are Sweden's secret weapon this year They really make the difference

Exactly, without them, the performance wouldn´t have been near as magical as it now is
