Except for being radio-friendly, it has nothing going for it

So who will have the higher televote in the final? Switzerland or Sweden?

I like this entry but do we really believe this wins? I have little to no doubt that Sweden is going to win the jury vote once again but the public seems to be not that fond of Sweden lately. "Dance You Off" wasn't great but I was shocked that this ended so low in televoting. Maybe there is some anti-Sweden bias atm? But if not: while I hoped for other countries to win I wouldn't be too mad. It's a grower.
We have crashed with the televoting two times the latest 10 years, so if that really were the case, we would have failed more times
I don´t think he will win either, but if he still has momentum after the two semis, maybe but otherwise he will get a very good result

do you really believe that the majority of viewers care enough to have these types of biases against Sweden, Australia,... for doing well with the juries the previous year? Absolutely not. The only biases are political ones (Armenia x Azerbaijan, many countries x Russia etc.) but I believe that those get balanced out by a) juries b) major support from other coutries. If Sweden doesn't do well in the televote it will be because the genre is not that popular and familiar in most European countries & people click better with other songs and performances. No need for conspiracy theories here.

Already overtaking Russia. To be honest, if Sweden wins, it's not because the entry is outstanding. It's because other entries have fallen short (and yes, I am talking about The Netherlands).

I was just asking a question. Obviously Sweden did extremely well this decade and they deserved it. But I have to admit that sometimes I discovered a "oh, really? sweden AGAIN?" kind of thought in my head over the years. But it's probably just me or a few eurovision hardcore fans thinking like that and the public won't care that much.

Lmao words can't describe how much I love this entry and John and the Mamas
definitely the entry that's given me shivers and goosebumps just because how good and amazing it is
listened to it for 1 hour straight and will continue to do so this evening
The live version is so much better than the studio version though that I consider to download the live version on my phone just so i can listen to it without using 4G

Odds on Sweden is down at 4 as lowest and 5 as highest, and still shortening!
Netherlands odds is around 3 and drifting.
Seems like we might pass sooner or later.

Seriously Sweden please win
We are not in the winning race, many fans says we will flop in the televoting and as you know, when the fans are speaking, they have always right and no one can say against that
No, seriously, I really don´t see us winning, but if John finish high in the jury vote (very likely) and manages top 10 in the televoting, it would maybe be enough to get another 5th place maybe

It's worth remembering nearly every winner from the... as long as I can remember, is in the top three in the betting odds come the final.
Even Azerbaijan were!

That may be the case on the final day, but not at this time of the season. For example the betfair odds in 2014 one hour before semi-final 1 started:
Armenia 3,1
Sweden 4,6
Ukraine 10
United Kingdom 11
Hungary 16,5
Denmark 21
Norway 29
Azerbaijan 30
Austria 44
Israel 60
Greece 80
Spain 90
Finland 95
Belgium 120
Romania 130
Malta 130
The Netherlands 130
.........
Betting odds had no clue about both semi winner until after the semis!

I think the problem for a lot of people (at least for me) last year was the difference of being 2nd with the juries and 23rd with the televote... But I really wish all the best to John Lundvik this year
Yes, but that was one year and it happened with other countries as well (Australia says hello!), but it's not as if there has been a general public dislike of Swedish entries, like I wrote minimum top. 10 or better in almost all years for a whole decade with televotes is not bad.
