Oh well I'm the opposite for me the song is the most mid of mid songs this year but the twins are brilliant performers and redeem it just a little for me when i watch the live. The staging I do agree is wow! But for once I'd like the best thing about the Swedish song to be well the song. Melfest always feels like a staging contest to me.The song itself is a banger that sounds very Swedish pop to me. The problem though I have with twins - they give off a smug energy that annoys me and I'm also not into their voices. I'd like it much more with different performers. The staging wowed me but Melodifestivalen often blows me away with those. I've not followed this edition after hearing that songs are mostly underwhelming.

Ask Teya & Salenas opinion on that.I mean, opening isn't necessarily an awful slot to have with the right song. 2 is arguably far worse. Idk if the song could withstand the opening considering the staging carries it, but I don't think it will damage them too badly.

It wasn’t that bad. And opening the show did cost them far more!Their staging was atrocious.
Their staging wasn't good, but their song was much, much, much, much, much, much better than "Unforgettable". And I kind of think that should count for something.Their staging was atrocious.
The staging sapped all the life out of the song. Going into the contest, it was one of my favourites, but the staging killed it. It came across as limp and lifeless despite Teya and Selena giving a strong vocal performance.It wasn’t that bad. And opening the show did cost them far more!
Is this a rip-off of insomnia by faithless ?
If opening the show doesn’t hurt why change the voting rules?
Also, the producer from last years show in Liverpool did the draw but tin-foilers still gonna believe that it was rigged because it serves their purpose better.Werent the new Rules announced before the Draw, NJ?
Well yes the uk had a horrible performance, last place isn't usually a good spot either.The draw doesn't mean a thing if you have a shit song (like UK 2023).
I will say this. I LOVED Who The Hell Is Edgar when it came out and I still do. Before May I envisioned there to be more stuff on stage for them, perhaps an office-like staging that they interacted with and with different moments. Instead they went for a computer game-like backdrop and called it a day. That's perhaps why people voted for the other pop songs as they had greater visual impact.It wasn’t that bad. And opening the show did cost them far more!
There are some kind of songs very difficult to be staged. Perfect studio versions and videoclips but when it comes to the big stage it's almost impossible to translate them with excellent stagings. Czechia 23 and Austria 23 were clear examples.I will say this. I LOVED Who The Hell Is Edgar when it came out and I still do.

And I think the same problem will have Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland and Austria this year. Are they going to sing correctly somehow meantime moving.acting and dancing as they do in the videoclips, without all the filters and special effects a studio version offers?
Absolutely not. It was bad staging that was also badly performed on top of it.It wasn’t that bad. And opening the show did cost them far more!
