It's cute but very generic. Sounds like something I've already heard.

Melfest is the 3rd most popular hashtag on UK Twitter right now. Mad!

The middle partings make me a bit nostalgic actually, that's how everyone looked like in my teens in the 1990s. I'm still doing a middle part all these years later.

I grew up towards the end of the frosted tips male hair era THANK GOD

Damn what happened to the Loreen's performance? It was countless times better in the semi.
it was darker than it should in times and lighter than it should in times. Camera work was sloppy, it was perfect in the semi!

This was the strongest NF Ive ever experienced in my Life.
Most of these Songs could have been written by Mozart and Beethoven.

For me, the best ones were Marcus and Martinus. Those dance music sounds coming straight out of the late 90s/early 00s brought me back to my teen years.

But I also really liked Paul Rey here at the end.

Song 11: Theoz – "Mer av dig"
A pop song, whose title means “More of you”. It’s quite a lively disco song, with a catchy chorus, and it’s in Swedish. Looking at an English translation of the lyrics, it would appear to me this is a love song. In terms of the staging, I like the red, white and blue squares on the background screen switching off. The fireworks at the end enhance the song.

Song 12: Paul Rey – "Royals"
The final song in the line-up is quite a powerful one, with a catchy chorus. Looking at the content of the chorus, I’ve noticed the following:

We can be royals
We can be legends
:
We can bе royals
We can be rebеls

I’m not sure that royals, legends and rebels go together well, but it certainly fits the tune. The staging includes what I’d describe as scribble patterns and graffiti like writing on the background screen. To me that looks a bit amateurish; I think the song deserved better than that in terms of background images. At least there are some fireworks close to the end to provide a climax to this song.

Alright, I think all the songs are there so it's definitely either M&M, Smash Into Pieces or Loreen for Liverpool.

I think there were some problems with the smoke machine.

Omg hi Rylan!!!

I absolutely love Loreen´s nails - she´s creating art with this performance.

It´s part of the act - she´s symbolising inner strength/power.
She recreates natural phenomena on stage (hurrican, clouds, etc.).
She chose the colours of Earth - her long hair, the long nails make it somehow "tribal" - Since it´s Sweden, I pretend the long nails to be a reference to Naglfar (a boat of fingernails of the Fallen). It would suit the apocalyptic atmosphere of the performance - and also symbolises the uphill battle/inner strength because that boat was ready for the final battle in the Nordic Mythology.

Dunno, I also think they look pretty on TV but I really want to believe that the nails have some meaning as well.

 

[jatojo]

Okay, that joke about Normann and M&M made me laugh.

 

[ArmpitOfEurope]

I think there were some problems with the fog machine.

But the camera work was bad too, and the lighting

 

[MopManMoss]

God I cannot even escape rylan watching Swedish television

Rylan has infiltrated the English language stream, this is not a drill!

My guess: A tiny malfunction of the smoke machine.

They should allow her to perform it again
