@@Elnur__cafarov I have a KZbin extension to bring back dislikes, and the simplified ratio of likes to dislikes is 290 : 27.

[@Bloodyheroesandlegends]

Thank you!! I agree but I’m biased cuz I’m from Sweden 😂

[@IQzminus2]

As a Swede it’s sort of frustrating to see that we for the last two decades had loads of really cool and good entires in Melodifestivalen, but they often end up in 2nd or 3rd place. And we send a very very very polished and perfectly executed pop song, with a great stage number, again. I mean I get it we vote sort of fairly. Whoever just objectively pulls off the most impressive performance in terms of vocals and stage number usually wins. But it makes for pretty uninteresting entries to compete with. Like Loreen is the embodiment of the type of artist we usually don’t send to Eurovision. Genuinely good, interesting and cool. The year before euphoria, she competed in Melodifestivalen with the song “my heart is refusing me”, she made it to the second chance but didnt even make it Melodifestivalens finale. And the song I would say is even better than euphoria, her voice as great as ever, but the stage number was nowhere near as polished and perfect. And even though “my heart is refusing me” became a international hit and charted in multiple countries. The less than perfect stage number meant she didn’t have a chance in Mello. A year later she comes back with a better stage number, and I guess meeting mellos lowest expectations on everything being perfect, meant that when we finally sent something interesting it was a clear winner.

[@icewallowcome8757]

This gives me a memory of when I first watched “A Star Is Born” and Shallow was played in stadium, it’s so tender, euphoric, full of emotion and raw. First time Sweden has given me something so close to heart, not over produced and raw and that will defo score a result. Amazing, thank you Sweden for being authentic. Love from Lithuania.

[@fjonin]

Got the same ‘a star is born’-vibe from this!

[@vixikie]

I'm from Sweden and when hearing the song for the first thing I told my mom was, it reminded me by Shallow but I had no idea why. I'm happy I am not the only one haha. I guess it is something about the melody and the emotions. I love this song and I love Shallow.

[@anasanchez7291]

Great post, I totally agree with your point of view. Good luck too, to Monika representing Lithuania. A very classy, melodic song that sticks in your mind. We have such beautiful ballads this year.

[@sandrazielinska8427]

It's becasue the chorus is very similar to Shallow...

This song has become my favorite. The attitude and the rawness of her voice is a great combo. But most of all, the lyrics are soooooo good and heartbreaking. Can't wait to see her owning the stage in Torino. Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱 (I know we don't participate but Europe remember that you have fans over the other side hehe)

[@thebaddog2059]

So true

[@5sunniva5]

I thank there is no such thing as finding the right one but at the wrong time, there is only falling for a wrong person out of immaturity and not having learnt your lessons. A mature person should know their worth and leave this kind of situationship at the first or second major red flag. This woman is too old for singing about such problems.

[@IQzminus2]

Sweden have had loads of genuinely cool and interesting artists and songs the last 2 decades. That often feel more genuine and have a cool point of view. We just don’t send them. They tend to come in 2nd or 3rd place. And we send a very very polished well written and perfectly sung (but sort of boring) pop song instead. Usually the stage number is a lot better for the pop song. Loreen was like the perfect embodiment of the type of cool artist that normally would end up 2nd place in Melodifestivalen, but she got the same level of really polished staging the winning pop songs usually have so she actually mange to win Mello (and Eurovision). And the one time we sent our typical 2nd place type artist in 2007(?) with “worrying kind” with the ark. You guys hated it. But atleast it was something I thought was genuinely cool of us to send to Eurovision.

[@mayden1]

I see a lot of salty comments on social medias, but in general it's a good sign. They see you as big competition this year so they are afraid, we cant compare this entry to 2017-2018-2019-2021, this one has something special. Not basic, nor overrated. Simply amazing. 9.75/10. My current winner and i don't think it will change knowing she probably keeps the same staging (very aesthetic)

Well, I've tried a joke, because many posters here seem to believe the next ESC is somewhere in Sweden, because Sweden wins. I responded yes, of course, because neither Ukraine nor Italy (probably the real coming winners) can afford another event, but Sweden is such a rich country, they can (although they don't win anymore). ,
