@@gothiclight8048 they did in the past, the 2000 postcards a prime example. But I think SVT realises that its not about the country but rather the contest and the artists

These are way better "budget" postcards than those of Turin 2022. I love the callbacks to previous entries and the reveal of the artist. It is sober but effective production from Sweden.

Really good idea for postcards, they look very modern and they connect past, present and future. Really good. :)

[@StanleyBoringWorldMusic]

Tbh. It's probably prettiest eurovision ever, this Postcards combine with previous entires are amazing

[@WillemVandermerwe-yv5kn]

Postcards in Austria 2015 and Israel 2019 were much better. Austria beautiful classical music. Israel diffrent types of music and dancing.

[@asdfgh7493]

You'll see Croatia's, see the name Baby Lasagna show up, expecting someone goofy looking. But then the most handsomest guy shows up, all suited up and breaks out into his dance move. King!

You could go to Eurovision at 90 for all that matters, there's literally no age requirement and many artists go when they are ancient. So there's always hope :D

[@escahmet7487]

You are not alone

[@Karrikua]

Aww that made me miss the «The Roop» song. I’ve danced alone or danced like I was alone so many times to it.

[@Michael-qg6sg]

Swedes are experts at producing high-quality shows, and I love everything about this year's performances: staging, lighting, and visuals... Thank you, Sweden, for your effort! It's a pleasure watching Eurovision this year.

[@user-mm8un2zp8g]

Tbh I really like this postcards. They are not like Portugal "look we have beaches and nature, come to travel". These postcards show the country of participant and tell us a bit more about artists. Great concept! ❤

[@MM-tz2bs]

I love the postcards, the only thing I would change is how the previous representatives were edited into the postcard.. it was just pasted one after another, no real transition or something, so it was just a bit amateurish with the editing. But otherwise I liked seeing the previous representatives as well as the self-made postcards from each country. And also then the artist posing with the name, that was cool. It was a bit X-Factor-y, but I loved X-Factor, so I didn't mind this :)

[@moramento22]

The postcards are really nice, despite being budget postcards. Love the idea of the previous contestants being highlighted, although the choices of some of the songs is not ideal. The only thing that could improve them is what they did in 1996 in the postcards. When the second throwback song ends, the main part of the postcard could start with the artist saying their name, which I think would be a nice touch.

[@Penguin-24S99]

The way the laser beam goes to the country and the past song starts to fade up as it zooms is a great concept especially when the song is uptempo like cyprus, germany or portugal

[@polmarin06]

Is like years ago, The old Eurovision postcards with The map. And I love it ❤️🇪🇸

[@escwilde222]

This shows more about the artist countries as well! Love it and these ending shots are just fire 🔥🔥❤️

[@s3rg10sup3r]

I love this postcards, the map, the memorable moments of each country, the music 💖

[@dongdongies]

At first I thought these postcards were super cheap and I didn't like them, but the more I've seen them, the more they've grown on me! I actually like the idea of seeing the singer filmed like that and not with professional equipment like the other postcards

[@Sk88p]

Bambie Thug did the slowmo endpose the best from this semi. The postcards in general this is one of the best this year. 2015 is still my favorite though.

[@Sim0n98]

How do you not go with Lordi for Finland!!!!!?????

[@aliceameliajoseph9436]

That's exactly what I was wondering, there were many songs I expected to see in the past songs clips, like ABBA and maybe for Natalia and Hera their previous entries.

[@janwehner8369]

Some choices raised my eyebrows. For Germany they picked Mekado instead of Guildo Horn. The latter is a massive legend. Who remembers the former act here?

[@jakovskarica1585]

I don't know how maybe because Karrija scored more points, but Lordi is real winner like Riva for Croatia 1989 although then was Yugoslavia, but Riva croatian band and Eurovision 1990 was in Zagreb, not Belgrade

[@kriseliana]

Maybe the artists/delegations got to choose which previous entries they wanted to show in the postcards? I think that Windows95man definitely could have chosen CatCat, as they were a memorable and cheesy 90's act. Would be very much on brand for him 😄

[@_Angry_Potato_]

It seems like the concept was to a pick an old song, and the most recent successful song. So Lordi is not old enough for the old song, and not recent enough when they’ve had such a recent high scoring song.

[@Ciruzzounbellangelo]

this postcard reminds me 2015, never watched so beautiful postcards.

[@IvanTheConquestor]

Baby lasagnas performance was so good even garfield would approve

[@jordan-vl9lj]

Im happy that Croatia qualified but I feel bad for Poland

[@perocigla4425]

Same. I wanted them to qualify.

[@ronfarkas]

They should've worked on the vocals and a less messy staging

[@marcor815]

Poland had a unlucky spot between Ukraine and Croatia, both beeing among the favorites this year. And I feel that Poland lost it's chance to advance on the very last note of the song which was more a fade out than a big finale.

[@reianders431]

Same, Bro 👊🏻

[@sushifornico]

Sweden not using Abba for their postcard is odd (since it's their anniversary) Love Luxemburg throwback to France Galll. Overall loving the postcards concepts :-)

[@elvinam888]

The one & only good thing about Swedish-organized show were these postcards with old Eurovision acts, but who on earth chose Bye Bye Baby of 1994 for Finland (and not winner Lordi for example)?! Can anyone give me an answer? 😂

[@Gfynbcyiokbg8710]

Lordi was probably too young for the 'older' songs and too old for the 'newer' ones.

[@kriseliana]

I think it fits excellently with the 90's theme Finland has this year! 😄

[@florenna]

These postcards with old Eurovision entries were by far the best thing about Swedish-organized Eurovision! (I don't like Swedish organizing generally at all, for numerous reasons.) Loved them!! Only some song choices here were a bit dubious, like why not Lordi for Finland, but oh well ;) CatCat & Bye bye baby of 1994 *is* among the most underrated Finnish entries, it even features in my video about the subject, but still, there would've been more representative entries ;) At least for Poland, they had 2 of my favourite Polish entries ever, and for many others at least is one is a favourite, like Moldova 2005, Australia 2019 & Luxembourg 1965 :D

[@Gfynbcyiokbg8710]

Lordi was probably too young for the 'older' songs and too old for the 'newer' ones

[@jessicabecker3591]

Sehr coole postcards dieses Jahr ❤️🥰😍🥳🥳🥳

[@Silveirias]

Why are they so low quality? Like you made the artists film them on their phones by themselves. Were you about to go over budget, or did you remember the post cards last minute and had to rush it?

[@Gfynbcyiokbg8710]

I think the point is that it's more personal. The artist is showing you around where they're from instead of a camera crew.
