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.

I am kind of hoping that the juries this year will be a bit more diverse. After the Loreen/Kaarija discussions last year there were many voices advocating for less pop-influenced jury memembers. If Sweden ends up top 3 in the juries (or even top 5) in 2024 as well I will finally loose faith... I have been a strong supporter of the juries all through the years. But this year there are many entries that should place higher than Unforgettable. Yes it's catchy, the staging is good, it's radio friendly - but that should not be enough for exaggerated "jury-love" this year.
So far this is my number 16 (the studio version would probably be lower though)

It's a great production and performance, I can't see it not finishing top 5, knowing how jury & public are voting nowadays.

I want to hear this in pre-COVID ESC days though, without being able to have the backing vocals on the audio track... The backing support is soooooooooo heavy. Unfortunately that's part of the game and we all know the Swedes know how to play the game.

Go listen to the raw mic feed video that has gone viral on Twitter, Marcus & Martinus had some of the best vocals this year.

Some of the best vocals in Melfast? I guess so. But while they're competent, I don't hear anything at all that would count them among the stronger vocalists among the Eurovision line-up. Their vocals should likely not be a big point grabber, in contrast to Loreen last year.

I have the same issues I often have with entries from :se:. From a technical standpoint there´s absolutely nothing wrong with the song, perfectly produced and the visuals are also interesting. But for me too much perfection isn´t a compliment, it feels completely sterile for me, I seet it and don´t feel ANYTHING. The fact that they´re not the most charismatic performers either and that I don´t really like their voices doesn´t help as well. :(

I give them :3:, I can somehow listen to it but it just doesn´t do anything for me. I can see them getting a good jury result as always but I can see this doing much worse in the televoting.

I mean, opening isn't necessarily an awful slot to have with the right song. 2 is arguably far worse. Idk if the song could withstand the opening considering the staging carries it, but I don't think it will damage them too badly.
