Sweden SWEDEN 2019 - John Lundvik - Too Late for Love

[Swedenvision]

John has said in a interview that they will make some changes with the stage performance in ESC.

He felt that the performance was kind of dark in MF and they want to make it more brighter, they also will add more "magic" to it, interesting.

If this would have been 10 years ago, I would have been very nervous, but we have proved the latest years that we are more good on making stage performances than sending really good songs so this will be good

The crowd singing along to Too late for love in London reminds me of times 500.

If I could be there, I would sing there.

This year the Sweden-Thread is boring compared to last year somehow, despite more Pages.

Maybe the haters have a more hard time to find realistic motivation this year to dislike our song, it was more easy last year, but it´s really hard to dislike a performer like John Lundvik since he has that special kind of charisma and is very friendly overall.

Add the backing choir "The Mamas" too, had they appeared in London, it would probably have made the fans go beserk

Last year was really easy to hate Sweden. Dance you off was so awful and yet so smug.

 

[Citelis]

It wasn't that bad actually.

Probably, even though I thought that hate gone way too far

Even future Winner Duncan Laurence thinks DYO is the best ESC-Song of all Time!

That was a joke. I don't believe that anyone really did that!

I really dont know how the votings in Tel Aviv will go. Personally I dont see a very lear winner.
But yet again I am sure that Sweden will do very well, and a top three is very likely. Why? Mostly because of the performer. When watching this live in the semi in the MF I felt that John's act was a rather obvious winner. John proved that yet again in the final of the MF.
But when not seeing John perform this song live it looses the momentum... Too Late for Love is not in my playlist, and definitely not in my top 10 this year. And that gospel-touch that works so well on stage (especially when the Mamas enter the scene) really doesnt do it for me listening to the song only. For me this is the typical case of the performer and the performance beeing better than the actual song.
But then again; in Tel Aviv the songs will be judged only on the live performances.... That is why I would not be too surprised if Sweden won the trophy once again.

[MENTION=4721]VikingTiger[/MENTION] Agree and as it should be. The Mamas won me over completely when they appeared in the semi and many others have said the same thing. The song without them isn't anything special like it is when you just listen to the audio. This is on the other hand a typical situation for me in esc, the live performance is the aspect which makes it worthwhile.

Kinda funny how DYO is still brought up in this year's thread, what a polarizing song

I guess the reason for this is that some fans are now using it as fact why we automatically will fail in the televoting every year to come...

And that so many fans took mental damage because of that song
