Sweden SWEDEN 2024 - Marcus & Martinus - Unforgettable

I'm glad Klaudy went through to the second chance, but really bummed Clara didn't even make it there.

The good news is that we get to enjoy La La Gunilla in full right now and not wait 2 weeks.

I'm kinda glad Klaudy went over Clara (although this run off vote is so half-assed I'm pretty sure recency bias for heats 4/5 will prevail)

Glad that Kim flopped, that song was empty

Really weak songs this time. Jacqline's entry felt very professional but lacking in substance and melody. I guess the good parts were enough for her to win this heat, though.

Clara Klingström's entry was very weak, even worse than i expected from the preview. Nothing happened at all. Same with Kim Cesarion, impossibly generic song with a staging that was a boring, male version of Jacqline's. In fact the stagings were really similar here - four entries had the singer surrounded by dancers in identical outfits, with nothing else on stage.

Klaudy was really boring, i guess people thought it was a slightly more solid song than the two that went out.

The real star is of course La Gunilla.... i'm kinda disappointed this didn't go DTF, the audience seemed most enthusiastic about her. Cazzi Opeia just felt like more generic pop with a slightly more creative staging, and better songwriting than the rest. Pretty sure none of these acts are gonna be the winner....

Jacqline's entry is by far the best one thus far in the three heats we've had in the contest.

EFFORTLESS


this heat was actually really good. All six were enjoyable to some extent. Finally a heat that lives up to Sweden's reputation.

Clara dying SUCKS because she owned that performance but we got the two correct qualifiers, so it's okay. I hope Effortless pupates itself into a run-away fave so that we aren't left with a Danny coronation.

Honestly. how many 3-9 year olds vote? Isn't that disproportional in terms of impact on the results?

Sooo, what was Jacqline’s beef with host lady during green room interview? If looks could kill. Realise might be lost in translation.

Absolutely ADORE Cazzi’s song - such a rush. Gutted for Clara though - such a sweet a vulnerable performance. Lovely!

Probably parents; similar to kids nicking their granny’s phone to vote for Clara

 

[Daleypop]

Cazzi Opeia's performance gave me Katy Perry vibes (in the best way obvs) anyone else or was it just me?

 

[DirtyFalcon]

I don't get the hype at all for Jacqline. Yes she's a great performer but i didn't find something so much special in her staging, as well as in the song. There are some good parts on the song that could remind you of Dua Lipa but the rest (especially the chorus) is just ... very average ? like something we have heard thousand of times in Melodifestivalen already.

I think Maria Sur have the most complete and impactful package so far. Her entry is a massive upgrade compared to last year and with a bit more of charisma on stage, she would be the undisputed favorite at this stage in my opinion.

a three or four year old?!?
seriously: i‘d understand a group 6-9 but everything below is a joke! btw: which responsable parent lets their toddlers stay up and watch tv that long?!

Didn't pick up on anything of the sort

As we say in Sweden, "taste is like the ass, divided"...

 

[Realest]

Very strong NF with 2 excellent Qualifiers. Even the NQs were alright. Only the AC-Songs were bad.

 

[empo21]

Dear Sara and Klady both finishing 3rd feels like a dream. Usually these entries don't do that well. I hope they have a chance in the run-off.

 

[EscGeek]

Jacqline is amazing!

Where is @Mrm this year? I think he'd be pleased with me rooting for Jacqline

 

[FilipFromSweden]

Who even listens to Cazzi Opeia's type of song? Such intermediate remedial trash. I think it's a song people think they like but they don't actually. 5 televote points maximum in the finale

 

[gingerale]

The staging and performance of Effortless are so good that I completely forget how bloodless the song itself is.

 

[Citelis]

The only qualifier i don't like so far is Lisa Ajax.
