Sweden SWEDEN 2024 - Marcus & Martinus - Unforgettable

[ESC United Mod Team]

 

[Uto]

You put two dudes on stage who channel toxicity doing a horribly commercial song, it's just not a good look. But yeah at EiC their performance was actually quite charming so I warmed up to it then and now with this final staging I'm actually liking it. It's a proper show by the Swedes, very well done. Should get a bit of jury love, should get a bit of televote love. I think it can actually surprise on Saturday and finish quite high up the board.

 

[BorisBubbles]

This would be appealing if anyone else were singing it.

Not just my thoughts btw. Nearly EVERYONE I chat with regularly about ESC reached the same conclusion individually.

The song's not great, but passable enough, and the staging elevates it. It's the twins that bring it down again.

Expect a massive jury vote and a puny televote next saturday.

They have massively overdone the effects following the bridge, I am not sensitive to light but I had to look away from the screen last night as it was way too much

Yes, yes, yes! I'm not photosensitive but it got genuinely uncomfortable for me at one point.

...And if Eurovision is going to have epilepsy warnings, this act deserved a more severe warning than the one given to other acts. Pretending that this performance has the same level of risk for people with photosensitive epilepsy as the other acts given a flashing light warning is just inaccurate.

Really good. The depth of voice, staging and outright performance was top notch. Best of the semi by far.

Only minus is the synth riff that I've heard 1000 times before.

German Juries and also people are known for giving many points to bland and generic songs, so M&M will receive many points. Congrats, Sweden!

Really? To me this sounds like the typical song that our jurors would love but would bomb with the German plebs. I am not sure, however, whether the twins have big enough fanbase here to have a bearing on the telly vote.

 

[spinachpie]

Sweden can really send anything and get high jury points, huh?

 

[Realest]

8th Jury, 11th Televoting shouldnt be controversial at all.

 

[goncalovieira]

Not deserved AT ALL. Greece deserved the top 10.

 

[spinachpie]

8th Jury, 11th Televoting shouldnt be controversial at all.

It's the disparity between the two amounts. And it's always the jury giving them way more than their televotes.

The Gap isnt as huge as some people claim.

 

[heke1988]

Were we tactical voting again, because we once again didn't give any televote points to Sweden?

23 countries don't give a single televote point to Sweden this year

 

[FitzyUK]

Was a great opener and a song I liked overall, I had it as 6th on the night. Surprised it did not do a little better to be honest.

 

[SirPeterGriffin]

Mom, can we listen to Faithless - Salva Mea? No, we have Faithless - Salva Mea at home. At home: M&M - Unforgettable

Pathetic song. When will we be free from the swedish mafia?

[SpiritofKeiino]

I'm surprised this did reasonably well in the televote

 

[Preuss]

I think they kinda screwed up by placing Ukraine right after Marcus and Martinius

9th place is still a great result for the host

 

[Preuss]

The fact that people act so surprised that Sweden got a decent jury score... what's new lol

Same here. As I get older my eyes hurt a bit more with each year and it peaked during Sweden‘s performance. I really like the song but I couldn’t watch. Does every performance has to look like some crazy music video laser show? A nice subtle Lightshow would have worked as well!
