Thought it was interesting how many times a MF winner has competed for the 2nd time in a row, so i made a list....

2011:Eric Saade - 2nd time in a row
2012:Loreen - 2nd time in a row
2013:Robin Sternberg - debut
2014:Sanna Nielsen - 7th time, non-consecutive
2015:Måns Zelmerlöw - 3rd time, non-consecutive
2016:Frans - debut
2017:Robin Bengtsson - 2nd time in a row
2018:Benjamin Ingrosso - 2nd time in a row
2019:John Lundvik - 2nd time in a row
2020:The Mamas - debut, though sort of their 2nd time in a row, as they were on stage with John Lundvik the previous year
2021:Tusse - debut
2022:Cornelia Jakobs - debut
2023:Loreen - 4th time (and won once before)
2024:Marcus & Martinus - 2nd time in a row

This reminds me too much of Sweden 2015 where the song is safe and "mid" but elevated with staging... Outside of the live performance with their faces zoomed in on all the time this song feels like a nothingburger. I can't give this more than a 4. (I also really wanted Jacqline - Effortless to represent us... Voted for it a million times in the Mello final lol)

Only the thought lives in my head that Swedish music is plastic. Only a few artists are saved.

Result:

Public: "Meh"

Juries: "WOW!"

Song similar to that of Ingrosso and the same path traced.

For me everything is too generic, soulless and aseptic. I don't see the song and I don't listen good voices... a terrible product.

In general I agree with those who say that Sweden focuses on finished packages (more oriented towards staging) and knows how to present the little it does without flaws and elevate it. However, I would add that without the favorable jury votes, sometimes he would have risked bottom 5 or not won at all.

At the end

Agree, this does even less for me without the cool staging when it comes up in my Spotify playlist.

I don't think this song will go down well with the public at all, regardless of running order. I think it's generic, dull, and the performers IMO are weak despite the high-tech staging.

I really hope the juries don't heavily reward this, for the reasons above.

Unfortunately I think that Sweden as the host country and always the juries' favorite nation will make the Top 10 and throw out a more deserving nation. I see the ghost of Benjamin Ingrosso looming

Yes I also was reminded of Ingrosso. Gosh he was annoying and I was delighted when the televote killed its chances.

If Unforgettable makes the top 5 jury picks this year then I will be very disappointed.

Sweden absolutely deserves to be on juries top3 this year. They have the best staging of the year while the song may not be the absolute masterpiece but it's still good enough.
Juries are not meant to vote the same way t/v does.

I dient like the song very much at the beginning, thought it was to Ingrosso. But in fact I listend to it quite a lot during the past few days and I actually is a guilty pleasure club banger, kinda like 2011. Therefore is among the biggest growers of the season for me - from to points! And it's now my current no. 3 in my overall ranking!

2 / 12

The type of song I don't need to hear again

 

[lavieenrose]

Discussion a couple pages back about studio vs live and put me down firmly on team "studio clears." It came on shuffle in the Eurovision playlist the other day and I thought to myself that my was probably a couple points too harsh. Went back to watch the live and found my a couple points too generous.

Dont trust them. The Songs were mostly great. I recommend you to listen to these Songs.

I'd check those out ASAP on youtube if only I didn't have enough good music that I badly want to listen now.

In a way, his ghost is already present in the staging. It haunts those light tubes, which was after all the entirety of Ingrosso's staging.

 

[Judas]

It was a meh song at first listen but I gradually grew a liking to it. Very catchy and they do know how to present the song. It will be a great final opener.
