Well, if you need a scapegoat, I found mine today at our Easter family gathering. Granny happily admitted to have voted for Isaak, claiming how his song had power and warmed her heart and what not, and how we sent amazing songs in the last two years (referring to Malik). I'm happy that she is...

Yeah, actually very true. I generally don't mind it, it works for a lot of songs this year for me, but in genres like medieval folk I prefer a more 'melodic' approach, otherwise it's just too jarring for my ears.

I don't think there's an overall different approach, just that one is upbeat, the other isn't. But sure, there are better comparisons. We have bands like this in Germany, too. My main point is: Medieval folk doesn't have to be as ear-piercing and simultaneously incredibly one-note as Ulveham...

One of those fan favourites that I have a hard time getting into. There's nothing I find particularly interesting about it; when you're used to melodic bangers like Nightwish's Last of the Wilds, Ulveham feels incredibly flat in comparison, grating even. Add Gunnhild's voice-lines on top of...

While I hope this won't be the case since Belgium and the Netherlands are my favourites this year, I think this is what Sweden does exceptionally well, they basically send finished products to Eurovision. You know what you will get, everything's already planned out and proven in front of a...

Kinda reminds me of Demi Lovato's song from the Eurovision movie, really like this. 8 points.

And sorry for double-posting, but man, our public votes are always on fire. They never disappoint :lol: My highlight was 2013, 12 points for Hungary's lovely Kedvesem xlove

Yeah, I also think M&M sell this incredibly well live. I tried listening to the studio record and I can definitely see why people don't like it, in isolation it's quite underwhelming. But they make it work on stage, the energy is off the charts. And in an arena full of supportive Swedes, this is...

Aye, as Boris said, do the "g" as in "ich" instead of "ach". It's much more comfortable for your throat, had the same problems when I started learning Dutch, but that's what my Dutch teacher told me to do. It's the variant they speak around Limburg (and apparently in Flemish as well?) I think.

Yeah, exactly :lol: Although I know him rather from Game of Thrones and Maze Runner.

Is it only me or do they awfully resemble Thomas Brodie-Sangster?

Yeah, this is fun and the right choice I think. Should be another top 10, if not top 5 placement for Sweden. The staging is great and the build-up works well with the crowd. Malmö will go crazy :lol:

I want to support Smash Into Pieces so badly, but their song this year is just so... meeeeeh. Just like last year with Loreen, great artists with lame songs n_n

LT United (Lithuania 2006) vibes and I'm here for it :lol: I live for the half-bald guy with the deep voice xlove

Huh, I like this a lot actually. Even in the higher and more pompous part it still manages to stay rather calm and intimate. A refreshing change to all the over-dramatic ballads we got in the past. Hope it won't be drowned among the other songs though due to it's more reserved tone.

In what universe will Isaak's voice get rewarded and Max's won't? My guy got second with an absolute snooze fest of a song simply because he is one of the best singers we have in Germany. If you predict zero jury points for Max, we're heading towards a big fat zero in May as well.

It's indeed a bit silly that they don't broadcast it on TV when it's already been paid for, but I also don't see the huge fuss about it. It's just one semi and there's still the live stream (which can also be viewed on most TVs nowadays). So... eh? It's not like the semis gathered great public...

One can argue about the quality of songs, but Sweden's stagings are always clean af. All of them are nice to look at.

NDR killing all the joy concerning Eurovision visualised. I can do without Broder since his behaviour in 2022, but Stefan and Alina are such a fun pair and the only shining light (along with the occasional Consi) our broadcaster has currently going for them. Being a German ESC fan is such a...
