I don't usually enjoy Swedish entries. I do quite like KAJ's song, probably for that very reason.
I think you may find quite a few swedish Melodifestivalen songs that never reached Eurovision that you may like better then our entries. Whatabout Star Pilots Higher, Jon Henrik Fjällgrens songs or Fredrik Kempes Du och jag mot världen.

I think Mans is the clear winner by a mileeee. I truly hope he is not, I like the song, I don’t really like the staging - I gotta admit, I actually really dislike it. Too chaotic, too much going on and the camera angles are somewhat adding to the chaos. But: I don’t see why he wouldn’t win. He is loved by juries, and will be loved by the public.

The hatred towards him is obviously that the moment he is chosen we know the ESC 2025 winner for sure. We don’t have a real powerful pop song this year and in a year where there were a lot he wouldn’t have stood out that much. This year he would. And yeah, it is not the most modern song ever but it got power, it’s energetic and well executed. I wouldn’t mind him winning. But I much prefer other singers having the chance of experiencing ESC. Klaras Song is just absolutely beautiful and a banger. I would love to see her win. But there is no chance. 😩 And gotta admit: Dolly Style is my jam, Lord Jesus hahaha

Dolly Style in Eurovision would be so much fun! And I agree on Klara, she deserves to win after having tried so many times (And this time around she has the most well thought out staging imo); should it become a "Battle of the bangers" (Måns VS Klara) I'm rooting for her.

We are going to Stockholm next year, and I'm not even mad about it. The only revolution in Måns's song is the title and the amazing staging—but the song is damn effective at grabbing attention in the usual Swedish way. It has the ability to create a moment on the night with a positive message in a world where everything else seems to be falling apart. Why be mad about that?

I fail to understand how Mans, who even failed to place in the top 2 in the televote in 2015 with a song that was considered quite modern for its time, could be seen as a likely winner in 2025 with a much more dated and lackluster entry.
But here we are yet again in a year where the jury seems to likely determine the winner, just like back in 2015, so anything might happen.
In 2015 the public voted for IL Volo, who are indeed the most modern kind of sound I have ever heard anytime anywhere 🙄
And not cheesy at all, oh no.
So yeah, being current is one of the public's main concerns with regards to Eurovision.

Scarlet was my favorite tonight, but oh my, the camera work almost made me sick

Too much zooming, going to another camera, unzooming and repeat once again
Maybe that was a voluntary choice to illustrate the “psycho”? Made it hard to focus on the song and the performance

This was the first and sole heat from this year I mostly enjoyed. The only song I actively disliked was the "I hate you so much" one. Rest were all decent to very good in a couple of cases.

Aw I really enjoyed the hate song, hehe. I won't be joining the Victoria train sadly. I don't hate it, but it's not for me.
