According to Tobbe Ek and ESCdaily, John and "The Mamas" gave a excellent performance tonight, I really hope it will be enough to make the final since I´m very unsure now regarding the televoting

This is 100% safe even with TV only.

Well, I'm more afraid of you winning against Duncan. I believe the Netherlands will give you 20-24 points, Norway and Germany will give 16 points or more. Sweden is always going to qualify for the final. It could happen that it will be 'killed' by the televotes there, but I think it will be more like 2nd/6th jury/televotes. Which is nothing to be ashamed of.

If that occurs, I will be more than happy. Especially after the televote result last year.

I can't wait to see zelmerow at eurovision for 750th time this Saturday (sarcasm alert). Geez, what's so special abt him that they have to bring him every year in one way or another. They invited eurovision winner conchita with non winners like verka and eleni. So random! Besides, mans is half winner and that half is from jurry. If it has to be half win, let it be win because people/televote voted for u and not some 50 "experts" in jurry panel. I like all swedes except christer, gay man who allowed that homophobe to apply for melfest, Edward sillen gay commentator who is "good friend" with him and of course zelmerlow. Probably the biggest mistake in eurovision. He won not because he has good vocals or song, but only because of staging and because its Sweden. I'm not sure that he would even qualify if he rep San Marino.

You should really aim higher. You're competing for the victory.

I am not ready for Sweden 2020, Petra Mede and new rules :rolleyes:

Sweden wants to catch up with Ireland, but it would be fun if the Netherlands or France caught up with Sweden first.

I love the song still, I hope it is not too bright, because it looked great at MelFest

After looking at the full jury performance, I don’t think it’s too bright, it’s perfect.

I’m still hoping for top 10, but then, I didn’t thought of victory back in 2015 either

Where did you find a full jury performance?
This year there seems to be a serious lack of rehearsal videos to judge from. Or it's just me not being able to catch up :/

Looks amazing xlove This really would be a deserving winner, but looks like the Dutch have the momentum at the moment

I was slightly worried that it wouldn't feel as magical and amazing as the melfest version due to the fact that they had to reduce the amount of singers, but it still sounds really amazing - I'm just so fond of this entry that I need to pick on John for not smiling enough which sounds crazy I know but judging from the clip he doesn't smile as much as in the melfest version due to focusing on the singing parts, but that's just something minor really

And when the backing singers appears around 1:52 imo it would look much better if the camera cut was just John and a dark background but then the lighting hits and we see the backing singers, instead of how it was now where the camera cuts to John and we see the backing singers
if that made sense, I'd just think it would look better like that

Will qualify though and least top 5 or I'd be disappointed

We only have one 2nd place before, 1966 (thanks to our fantastic neighbours) xlovexlove


Maybe it´s time for another one now ;)

No, seriously, I will be happy if he ends top 10

If Sweden finished in top 5 I will be superhappy. I think Netherlands will win easily. But I want a good result for John and the Mamas. I think they deserves it. Go Sweden.

Looks really amazing but I agree with [MENTION=14659]Preuss[/MENTION], the camera and light are crucial the moment when the Mamas appear. There are also some off-beat parts that sound weird. I think it's in the backing track so it's not something John can fix. Sounds a bit like when the needle jumps on a vinyl record.

Wow, I've never believed in a win for us until now. That was simply beautiful, I got tingles all over my body. I think it will be a tight race but with a bit of luck it could go all the way on saturday!

I heard that on several songs, so it might be bad video recordings? :?::p

The production team this year has created many problems for many delegations this year, not only us, I really hope these errors don´t affect the actual outcome of the contest
