Sweden SWEDEN 2025 - KAJ - Bara bada bastu

[ESC United Mod Team]

 

[Mrm]

Anything to stop the cruel Måns Zellmehouses

I do not accept KAJ.. Nope, not this time..

 

[b4ld3r]

I think this is the strongest final we've had in years, last year I thought all songs apart from maybe two or three were bad, or at least aggressively boring. This year I like Greczula, Måns, Klara, Meira and Kaj. All of them bring interesting or at least fitting stagings as well. Most of the other songs are at least okay as well, I only really dislike John Lundvik's song. Well done SVT

I'm so crossing my fingers for Bara Bada Bastu, this song is catchy as f*ck.
But is the hype enough in Sweden to beat Mans? What does the press etc. say?

Not to mention Scarlet when speaking about interesting and fitting stagings of this final, is...eheeerm....strange, at least..
Their performance is the most difficult and demanding one in the entries 2025 MF..

Yeah, their song is also good, just prefer the other ones!

I want KAJ to win this Melfest more than I wanted Kalush to win Vidbir in 2022.

My overall enjoyment of the whole qualifying season, pretty much hinges on their win. Belgium, Italy and Serbia dissapointed me immensely. If only Sweden gets it right, it will still be OK.

Hm, probably 1. Klara 2. KAJ 3. Måns

Even though I really like his staging, him as a performer and think the song is alright as well, we see so much of Måns every year, in Masked Singer, Så mycket bättre, the annual ESC appearances, etc. I just would prefer us to send someone else, especially because I want ESC to remain more open and exciting instead of a foregone conclusion like when Loreen went. Plus it would feel a bit cheap to win with a return winner again, especially in a year where there are so many contenders in native languages.

I kind of love Beat of Broken Hearts, probably one of my favourite recent songs in Melfest, and thought that Run to the Hills was nowhere close to as good. But I think I like On and On and On even more! Such a fun throwback

Eesti Laul 2022 participant Jyrisa has released an Estonian cover of Bara Bada Bastu

 

[deletingpoint]

My fave is Greczula, but i'm biased cause i just like happy-sounding rock with the vibe of Elton John or Meat Loaf

 

[Mrm]

I arived to Stockholm, think Im going to the Mall to see the Scarlet live now..

Any more impressions on your trip you can tell us all about?

 

[b4ld3r]

KAJ have had their trees changed to more "pretty" ones that look like christmas trees, which some members of their team are unhappy about. They have also added lasers for the final chorus.
Kevin (the tall one) has voice problems.

 

[Looren]

I rewatched KAJ's performance and I wish I could trust myself as much as the dancers trust their towels

 

[harey]

Hot take but I think that Klara could be the best choice for Eurovision considering the lack of (good) girl bops this year.
