Honestly, people say there is nothing to compare about John's and Cesar's song and STILL do it. Personally, I loved Austria's song much, much more, loved Cesar's voice more and think he had much more charisma.
I'm not sure if you are referring to me, but if so: I'd like to clarify.
Of course you can compare ANY song to ANY song and singer - you'll find differences or similarities. And that's fine.
My post was targeting a special notion of comparison: the one that equals two songs. And that's something you can only do with songs that really are very similar (like Cyprus 2018 and Cyprus 2018 to name the most obvious example), which as I argued in the case of Sweden 2019 and Austria 2018 is really not the case. But nothing hinders you to look for differences or vague similarities in those two either. I should've been more clear on that perhaps.

Seems like the odds are about to drift.
They have been around 9-11.00 for quite some time, so I would say they are steady which was expected since he is not in the winning race but has decent chances of a good score

I think Sweden will be top 3 in the final this year. Everything else would be a crime.
People should just accept and enjoy that we have a country who has figured Eurovision out. Melodifestivalen is the best National Selection, no doubt.

Indeed, but this thread is quite inactive so I had to spark some intensity as John has already done his rehearsal. The discussion is not as lively for this one unfortunate, or is it?

I would say, it´s nice and relaxing for once since the thread about our song is always filled with opinions every year
One thing is certain, the YT clip from the official Eurovision account on his rehearsal will have 3-400 dislikes within the first 10-15 min just because it´s us
It was a bit too dark

I think it's not constructive criticism when people just blame the artist or the people of a specific country like many do for Sweden and Russia. Even though I'm critical how respective head of delegations select their entries which result in weaker songs getting unfairly rewarded, one-sided criticism is not the solution here.
Giving Christer Björkman suggestions on how to improve and not focus entirely on profit is better than to blatantly post "Sweden? Yes!"-memes to flame Sweden as a Eurovision country.

Because it's a positive and uplifting song, therefore more lighting is certainly needed - the melfest version is great though
you know remember Australia last year going for a black/white theme with a song called "We Got Love" - it probably comes across as a bit odd for the viewers back home
I think Sweden's still got the same chances to do well, I don't believe the rehearsals today hurt their changes at least
Almost right, after 27 minutes since the uploading, 250 dislikes

I liked the darker version better too cause it highlights very well the light behind him. But if they're gonna keep the "warm" colors I'd love for them to add a more warmer tone and attenuate the colder tone cause there is some for whatever reason maybe for the real camera work (I can't help to see it, working with colors all day long). The backing vocalists are more put forward too which is good idea btw.

A great rehearsal for John it seems! Vocally spot on of course. And they didnt change much from the MF. But I like that the Mama's are a bit more visible now.
As expected a very good performance from John and the swedish team.
And again; I think this is so much better live than just listening to the recorded song. I am still not a big fan of the song.

Hmm I think we might have a shot with this one! I just got a good feeling about it. I would absolutely love to see us win again

John said they would add more light and glamor and they sure did!
And to be honest John has outclassed all the others, not only today but so far with his charisma and stage presence!
One small thing I thought about was that big gold light, it was not perfect, but maybe it will look better on TV.
Overall it all looked and sound amazing, and the reviews seems to be very positive. Apparently the press room applaud him after his rehersal.
Winner wibes? Yes maybe.
