Sweden SWEDEN 2025 - KAJ - Bara bada bastu

[ESC United Mod Team]

 

[AlekS]

Heroes 2.0 but worse. It's 2025, wake up, baby girl.
75% of negative reactions among our eurofans. Even Swedophile OGAy is not that excited.

 

[Mrm]

Sweden give us some Scandi disco alla Alcazar! Andreas Lundstedt FTW!

 

[Smudy]

Mans is still winning Melfest with this (unless there's a massive popularity surge for Greczula or maybe KAJ) but this feels too bland and by the numbers to win Eurovision again. If we're talking anthemic here, Greczula and Eric Segerstedt beat this actually IMO.

Top 5 in Eurovision, sure though.

 

[GRE]

In 2024 and 2023 the winners of juries in Eurovision, were 150-160 points over the second places.
So, this year Mans will also get the 1st place in juries, having at least 150 more points from the second one.
And then it's the hard road for Sweden. Televoting.
Crister will be again responsible for the running order.
He will give in the Semifinal a mediocre running order so that it will seem to be objective and then in the Final he will give the best possible running order (between weak songs).
Last year Switzerland won Eurovision, even being 5th in televoting, so something similar will happen with Mans.
Crister is obsessed to make Sweden the only country with 8 victories.
Moreover, next year is the 70th anniversary of the contest.
Everything was predictable for me, from the moment I learnt that Mans will be candidate in Melodifestivalen 2025.

If Måns is willing to dress up all in red, put chopsticks in his hair and get someone to scream, "SVE-RI-GE! SVE-RI-GE! SVE-RI-GE!" just before his song starts...

...I might consider giving this the time of day. Otherwise, this just makes Unforgettable seem, well, a bit less forgettable.

 

[aef]

People saying „this feels like 2025 tough“. Ehm no, IMHO Revolution feels like 2015, I don’t see any progress to Heroes.

There is also the 5th heat, next weak, duuuuh...

Can you all enjoy MF as it goes and see the outcome when the time for it arrives, these predictions and calculations based on literally nth start to annoy me a bit... :/

 

[timmy121]

Revolution is unbelievably cringe

 

[tsegaye]

Måns staging is quite sleek looking, but nothing extraordinary. He uses a prop that's a mix between Noa Kirel and Lesley Roy's, with mostly white lights. Then there's a whirlwind of paper with some pieces as big as toilet paper lol but I guess it's supposed to look like... newspaper? In the last chorus the prop opens up.

If nothing better comes later today or next week I feel like it will be a battle between Klara, Grezsula and Måns in the final, and it could be quite even in the end.

You think, Scarlet, a year after, with this team:

"Anderz Wrethov, Dino Medanhodzic, Jimmy Joker Thörnfeldt, Scarlet Hunts, Thirsty" a year after, closing the 5th heat, is chanseless?

I think it is safe to say that Måns is not going to get his second ESC victory. Not with this one. And I would be laughing hard when he doesn’t even win Melfest.

No of course not, I was just talking about the acts I have seen so far.

 

[goncalovieira]

Well, his song sounds like a piece from 2015... not bad and I am sure he will elevate for the live performance. But it is not a winner for Eurovision. Not even a top 5.

 

[njdevils94]

Yep. I think that's a wrap. Sweden already shortening in the odds again in some markets. Clearly he will win Melfest and I would put them as favorite right now for ESC.

Serving cunt (definitely not kant because the song is bad).

It sounds -and this is a very charitable assessment- like someone put Say Yay and Wrecking Ball into a blender and added strained grandeur vocals on top. The lyrics are empty platitudes and the beat goes nowhere. It's a lot of uptempo nothing, rly.

It REALLY shouldn't win Melfest, but oh well.

(it's definitely not winning ESC lmao)

4th KAJ – Bara bada bastu 5/10
5th AmenA – Do Good Be Better 4/10
6th Ella Tiritiello – Bara du är där 3/10

Official it is so obvious SVT wants Mans in Basel, only wondering why Mans not in Semi 5 at Draw 6! SVT gives us the most boring Mello ever!
This song is a average radio-pop song, if this would be other country this would be dead last, but i predict the Jurys make him win, Stockholm 2026 is safe.

My TOP 5 so far....
1st Dolly Style – YIHAA 10/10
2nd Klara Hammarström - On and On and On 9/10
3rd Erik Segerstedt - Show Me What Love Is 8/10
4th Albin Johnsén feat. Pa - Upp i luften 8/10

My Prediction for Semi 4

1st Måns Zelmerlöw

[Gera11]

Serving Democrat Party's candidate campaign song

Years and years of choosing not
To see what's happening right in front
Of me
But now I see

Girl these lyrics are so #NOW.

 

[EscGeek]

After checking what KAJ are all about, i agree with you

I'm expecting a lot from Malou and Mans too. Them and Dolly Style are all 3 for 3

@Mrm I want KAJ & Mans DTF!
And you know what that means: Malou, Mans and Dolly Style are now 4 for 4

Not stealing props from Malta

From the photos I've seen going around the staging is giving a mix of 2021 and Russya 2019
