Sweden SWEDEN 2024 - Marcus & Martinus - Unforgettable

[ESC United Mod Team]

 

[AlekS]

Sis scored 94 out of 96 points. Imho, the vocals weren't on point, and she lacked charisma to pull this Loreen reject off. Waiting for other heats, so far Loreen shits hard on all of them.

 

[Stargazer]

I'm glad Dear Sara went to the second chance round, since I thought she wouldn't even get that far. But it would have been nicer if she was a finalist, since I prefer her song over the ones that made it.

Overall, I didn't hate any song tonight, but I also wasn't really wowed either.

 

[Chalphon]

I just don't get why Liamoo keeps coming at us with such lame songs, he is such a talented artist but the songs he brings to Schlager-SM are so meh. I really wish he would flex his skills as a rapper one of these days...

 

[Fluke]

Really kind of disappointed. I was hoping Fröken Snusk would be a possible winner, now that possibility seems almost out, unless she makes a miraculous rise in popularity to make the final and win. Staging was really good, some parts looked a little dark.

Liamoo was disappointing me too, it felt like not enough happened in the song, the chorus sounds so pompous and mid-10s cliched, like "Heroes" or some similar entry from the time, and i just felt nothing by the end. It's good to finally see the Fire Nation represented though.

Maria Sur, good god, don't make me think more about it. Technically it wasn't bad but i really hope this doesn't do well.

Dear Sara qualifying was a surprise. I thought it was very generic, with weak vocals and similar staging and feel to Maria Sur, but obviously people saw something in it that i didn't. I expected C-Joe to be 4th instead, whatever.

I guess for now, i'll be mostly rooting for Smash Into Pieces.

I feel like I could have written the exact same comment...

 

[moop]

First time I managed to predict everything right in the app

I loved Maria Sur, my friends noted it's a bit like what Greece and Cyprus sometimes send. Liamoo's song is good but I think we can find something better

 

[simonPL]

Was Liamoo singing live in the choruses? I feel like it was like 80% of playback/pre-recorded backing vocals and he was kinda lip-singing.

OK, I can answer my question... ;d

When he was doing his walk of fame with singing the song (this new way of final performance is very good imo) there was a moment when he was with (his?) baby... so he coudn't sing and... the whole playback was played with vocals.

His performance reminds me Cyprus 2023 in general and I think that guy from Cyprus had too many backing vocals during the choruses, eventually his own voice became the backing one. The same thing did Liamoo, but here we have proofs.

I think this is kinda cheating.I know this is only NF, but it should be banned on ESC.

So far this year, Melfest is loyally following the usual principle of having the modern songs in English and the old-fashioned ones (those that don't have a chance of winning) in Swedish. It works every time.

I absolutely agree.

 

[Realest]

Mary Sue and Liamoo were great, but I refuse to believe that the Bottom3 were among the best 30/2600 submitted Songs.

 

[Chalphon]

Dear Sara and Engmans kapell were the best ones yesterday.

 

[FilipFromSweden]

so far Loreen shits hard on all of them.

well no shit

 

[Realest]

Its no shame to be worse than Loreen. I doubt anyone of the remaining acts will be better tbh.

 

[LoveHate]

Funny how Jimmy Thörnfeldt has writing credits on six songs in MF, and they have all avoided start numbers 2, 3 and 4. What are the odds?

 

[Ringdalen]

Melfest has been bad since 2017

But it gave us the best song ever in 2021

 

[empo21]

Gunilla Persson has begun her ascension to first place.

In other news, lots of greens for Jacqline and Clara. I think the previews are up. Open semi with Jacqline as a standout.

Less than two weeks until Lasse Stefanz makes Sweden return to the first place of the odds. Place your bets accordingly.

Effortless is my favourite mello song so far with a huge margin. Lol at them making Cazzi Opeia compete against one of her credited entries.

Overall, I think this heat is an improvement. I can see Jacqline as a strong contender if the performance is good (the first song that feels like it could win so far)
