That timing between voting change announcement & Sweden drawing first is hilarious. And so are the jokes about that forgettable entry opening. It's good to know the Eurovision gods have some humor among so much chaos lol

Honestly iconic that the UK closed the show as hosts last year and Sweden opens the show as a host this year. It's also a perfect opener, imagine if we had sent a ballad.

Most of people will still vote after all the artists have performed, like it happened in 2010-11 ( yes they tried to do it back then too but no one was voting from the start so they changed it back ).
So drawing 1st is still bad news for the twins. I think it will take some of the staging impact away

The song itself is a banger that sounds very Swedish pop to me. The problem though I have with twins - they give off a smug energy that annoys me and I'm also not into their voices. I'd like it much more with different performers. The staging wowed me but Melodifestivalen often blows me away with those. I've not followed this edition after hearing that songs are mostly underwhelming.

Oh well I'm the opposite for me the song is the most mid of mid songs this year but the twins are brilliant performers and redeem it just a little for me when i watch the live. The staging I do agree is wow! But for once I'd like the best thing about the Swedish song to be well the song. Melfest always feels like a staging contest to me.

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.

It wasn’t that bad. And opening the show did cost them far more!

The staging sapped all the life out of the song. Going into the contest, it was one of my favourites, but the staging killed it. It came across as limp and lifeless despite Teya and Selena giving a strong vocal performance.

Going first may have stunted their potential too, but good staging - or just memorable staging (good or bad) - will make you stand out wherever you perform in the running order.

I’m definitely not buying into the conspiracies that Sweden have changed the voting rules (that were done previously - it’s not as if they invented these rules) to benefit them and only them.
