Sweden SWEDEN 2024 - Marcus & Martinus - Unforgettable

[ESC United Mod Team]

Melodifestivalen 2024 Final is now over. As expected, the winner is Marcus & Martinus "Unforgettable" with a landslide 177 points. In fact, Marcus & Martinus also won the jury vote by a landslide with 85 points, and the public vote with 92 points. At least that shows consistency between the international juries, the Swedish public and overall.

The reprise performance had a totally different background to earlier, and unlike the proper performance earlier, the stage was well lit. Anyway, "Unforgettable" is a lively, catchy song. The question is, how will it score at the Eurovision Song Contest in May? As this year's host country, Sweden is guaranteed a place in the Grand Final, and therefore doesn't have to worry about qualifying from one of the semi-finals. Time will tell whether or not the juries and public in other countries will want to vote for this. From tonight's performance, I think "Unforgettable" is an OK host entry for ESC 2024, it might finish on the left hand side of the scoreboard, but realistically I don't think this can win. Good luck to Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 Grand Final in May.

Well done to the other 11 artists no matter where on the scoreboard they placed tonight. All did well to get to tongiht's Melodifestivalen 2024 Final after competing in the earlier rounds of Melodifestivalen 2024 (which I didn't watch).

As host country, Sweden is automatically in the ESC Grand Final this year.

So no miracle after all?

 

[Realest]

Already 8th Place at Eurovision Scoreboard.

 

[Datura]

Song is between and for me, but you have to credit Faithless for the more than obvious synth rip (see above)

Exactly and that would mean its sampling and not allowed. This really pisses me off tbh

 

[Jokuc]

How many years will it take SVT to understand that they need to revamp / review Melfest and fire their 'house' song writers? It's getting boooooring.

>literally most successful country in esc history
Why scrap a winning concept?

 

[LakZaNokte]

Well, the staging is ok but Sweden is in a box again, only this year it’s vertical.

 

[Chalphon]

So disappointed... this song does absolutely nothing for me.

Unlike Austria who definately has not borrowed the backdrop from Ice MC's Think About the Way...

Would that make it any better?

 

[Seregil Korit]

Yeah, the song's ok, the staging is great and they are charismatic enough to sell it.
And I've always been easy on twinks, sorry guys, can't help it.

 

[HayashiM]

I realise the appeal of the staging, but the song embodies my personal kryptonite. A big pile of polished nothingness. It might do quite well, just to be eventually forgotten in a few years time.

After two s in a row, I am sorry , points for me.

Unforgettable staging, forgettable song. Generous .

That's fair.

 

[Franzilein]

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

 

[jatojo]

Have to say though, I love the idea of Sweden sending Norwegians.

I forgot that when I gave them my 4. Downgrading to a 3.

[jatojo]

Sigh. Yet another MF winner I don't like. We need better entries next year.

Or force Loreen to participate.

 

[Realest]

Who would have thought back then:

 

[Sammy]

Another mediocre winner. But tbh this edition did not really offer anything memorable.
I‘d preferred Medina. At least it was fun.

 

[ESC94]

Unforgettable staging, forgettable song. Generous .

Have fun with @Realest explaining him your points.

I agree with you though, I´m just too lazy to write a post right now.
