Sweden SWEDEN 2023 - Loreen - Tattoo

[ESC United Mod Team]

Lol SVT learning lessons? Never!

I knew it would be the same sh*t in repeat, it's like watching Groundhog Day overrated movie about repeating the same thing over and over...

The word "might" was doing a lot of heavy-lifting when I said "lessons might have been learnt". My expectations for are always lower than a snake's belly. The sad thing is that the overbearing smugness of SVT prevents them from seeing that they could win ESC almost every year if they took a fresh approach. (By win, I mean actually win, not just come top two with the juries).

 

[LoveHate]

I will have to skip watching heats 1, 2 and 4 because there are other more interesting alternatives available at the same time.

 

[rasmuslights]

this heat is one of the worst heats at melfest ever since I've been following it.

 

[Realest]

this heat is one of the worst heats at melfest ever since I've been following it.

True, but to Swedens Defense..the Bar is extremely high and compared to other NFs this Heat is still above Average.

 

[Stargazer]

So I had a listen to the snippets, and my what a disappointment. Not a single song to love here. The three returning artists whom I've enjoyed entries from before (Jon Henrik, Eva & Ewa and Tone Sekelius) all had worse songs this time around. Eva & Ewa's is still OK and I bet it will be fun to watch, but the melody is a bit meh for me. Of course they had to go and ruin a Jon Henrik entry for me with some electronic dance beat. He's been my favorite every single time he entered in the past, but this one is just a huge disappointment.

Eva & Ewa, Victor Crone, Loulou Lamotte and Rejhan all have OK songs, but that's all they are... just OK.

 

[Fluke]

New bet: Eva & Efva and Rejhan to AC, Victor Crone likely out. It looks soooo dull and generic, radio pop with returning artists like this have flopped before.

Rejhan might even steal a DTF from JHF or Tone.

Also, why are Elov & Beny driving in reverse?

 

[DanielLuis]

I am aware that what we have are only snippets, but dear god there's literally nothing standing out here. It's all so completely lifeless and soulless.
If the average quality of this heat is representative of the other 3, Melfest will literally be among the bottom 5 of the worst NF's of the season, music-wise. And this is coming from a person that is currently watching Ireland's Eurosong.

 

[lasse braun]

when we will get the fully semi 1 songs?

 

[Datura]

just listened to the recap and uh theres not a single song i enjoy. i'd pick eva & ewa at least they are likeable. seriously don't care who advances

 

[Vittra]

I haven't listened to the snippets (I prefer to go in blind), but here's my prediction based on name recognition only:

DTF:
Tone
Elov & Beny (because their music genre "epadunk" is VERY popular among kids, teens and young adults)

Semi:
Jon Henrik (very disappointed that the song is in English...)
Eva & Ewa (maybe, could switch places with Victor Crone)

Out:
Victor Crone (maybe, could switch places with Eva & Ewa)
Rejhan (who?)
Loulou

Prove me wrong, fellow Swedes!

 

[hunty73]

Sweden usually put a big challenger song in Heat 1 so then everyone can think does xxx in heat 4 have a song to beat it.Looks like it might not be like that this year,unless there is something here they want in the final so an easy heat.

 

[empo21]

Just send Circus Mello to Eurovision

 

[Stargazer]

Why does it seem like they always have hosts from Skåne? It's not the most pleasant accent to listen to. Sorry all Scanians out there.

 

[Sammy]

I liked Tone's song from last year better. But this isn't bad either.

 

[Etanna]

Are they allowed to have more than 6 people on stage?

 

[bstream]

That was just Slo Mo

 

[Gwendal]

1. Tone Sekelius - Rhythm of the Show. First impression: Tone is nearly perfect, her song is nearly abysmal

 

[empo21]

Non-existent low notes
Shouty high notes

what a start :|

 

[theCONWEL]

Tone:

Big step down from last year

 

[Stargazer]

Tone had a good song last year, but this one was lackluster for me.
