Sweden SWEDEN 2024 - Marcus & Martinus - Unforgettable

[ESC United Mod Team]

 

[Loindici]

well maybe you will get your way and see it NQ then

... how?

 

[Irish Cameltoe]

The song is 100 percent plastic. There is no soul in there. 2024 may become a poor Eurovision year, like 2015 and 2017 were.

 

[Shadowfuxcs]

Well, shouldn't juries award professional, well performed, sleek entries and performances? Yes, the song is a bit bland, but pretty much everything else is great. Why shouldn't they give this some good points? Maybe not top spot, but still..

They should also evaluate the song and the originality/emotion behind it. This entry is a factory product made exclusively to appeal to the juries because their taste is so predictable. The jury voting needs a shakeup as it's currently becoming stale.
And it would be a shame for songs with perspective and thought to miss out on point due to the juries eating up this plastic entry.

... how?

thats the joke another one over your head

 

[Jaykay]

The real winner.

Except with Cornelia in 2022. She was a gem. I still wish she was the one to take it home for Sweden.

Absolutely agree! That would have been my wish as well. The only year where I supported Sweden wholeheartedly.

 

[mauve]

... how?

Semi is only televoting ... but Sweden will still Q ... unfortunately.

 

[Kev4000]

Semi is only televoting ... but Sweden will still Q ... unfortunately.

Yeah because they are hosting.

 

[SpiritofKeiino]

This entry does nothing for me. Yes the staging is kind of cool but that's it. Song is meh and personally I'm not getting much charisma off the performers. Agree with the comment that said it felt pretty hollow. Getting Ingrosso flashbacks

 

[Juliette]

The song is very forgettable.

Here is my review video of Melodifestivalen 2024 Final. This includes my opinions on all twelve finalist songs, in order of performance (based on Melodifestivalen 2024 Final performances), and my ranking from twelfth to first in My Eurovision Scoreboard.

[shameless]

The real winner.
Björnzone (Spotifylink- Björn Gustafsson - Still the One)

That felt like The Barbie movie being a capitalist/patriarch-hating vehicle sponsored by Mattel. If the parody is done by the same people who are and will continue exactly the same sh*t regardless of making fun of it, its not funny at all but pretty depressing.

 

[Chalphon]

The real winner.
Björnzone (Spotifylink- Björn Gustafsson - Still the One)

Yeah I wish we could send Björnzone instead. That was an epic flipping moment last night...

Too bad the Spotify version is just Björn alone and not the whole Björnzone. They really should make a track with all ten of them.

 

[grazy2266]

I think I have come to expect more from Sweden each year, its a typical song I've heard many times before. I will give Sweden a pass this year, they have bigger things to think about and not qualifying it not one of them, so they can afford to lower their game this year. I am still sure the Swedish charm will work with good staging.

 

[MAD20]

For some reason the whole performance hooks me whenever I watch it, despite the song not being anything special. It's an for me.

 

[Avi-Ramos]

Is this a rip-off of insomnia by faithless ?

 

[Loindici]

thats the joke another one over your head

Ah, thank god it lands on the trash.

 

[Sammy]

Sweden? doing a rip-off? Never heard of that! Impossible! Unthinkable...

But that's a coincidence.
And it's not like this was the most repeated part in the whole song, or that this basically was the whole song.

And Marcus said (roughly translated from a quote at a german blog): "I think there were far worse cases of plagiarism at ESC" (which means - this is one?)

But you see - they were born years after insomnia came out. And we all know that therefore they could not, under no circumstances, have known that song... I mean if there was such a thing where you could watch online music videos from whatever year as often as you want to, than it would be different, but until such a platform will be invented....

All of the top 16 songs in the Spotify charts are from Melfest. As long as the songs are dominating this much, and the viewing figures still are this massive, SVT are not changing anything. Even if we don't place top ten.

Songwise, this year was a real stinker. But at least there was a small step in the right direction where we got a properly big artist (Fröken Snusk) taking part. Literally can't remember last time that happened. Hopefully we get to see more of that next year! This is the only contest with popularity and legacy on a similar level to Sanremo, why can't we get actual stars as well...?

Marcus and Martinus' staging is pretty impressive, it will be interesting to see how they manage to translate it to Malmö's 360 stage. But this is by far the worst song we've sent since the Mamas, unfortunately. I'm also so sick of the Jimmy Joker sound. This and Austria's song and Maria Sur's song all just melt together in my head into a big techo mush...

Darling this is Eurovision let's get real, originality isn't exactly the main ingredient
