FINALEN: LIAMOO - Dragon

Startnummer 10 i finalen 2024 i Stockholm
Artist: LIAMOO
Bidrag: Dragon
Låtskrivare: Julie "Kill J" Aagaard, LIAMOO, Jimmy "Joker" Thörnfeldt och Anderz Wrethov
LIMAOO tävlar som artist i Melodifestivalens för fjärde gången.
Genombrottet för Liam Cacatian Thomassen kom 2016, när han som 19-åring vann Idol, där han ömsom rappade och ömsom sjöng. Han följde upp med debutsingeln "Playing With Fire". I Melodifestivaldebuten ”Last Breath” 2018 rappade han sig till final. Bidraget följdes 2019 av Hanna Ferm-duetten ”Hold You” och 2022 av ”Bluffin”. 2023 tävlade han som låtskrivare till "Royals" framförd av Paul Rey.

Alla hans tidigare bidrag har gått direkt till final, med som bäst en bronsplats 2019. Inför 2024 delar han tolfteplatsen på listan över flest finalplatser i den moderna Melodifestivalen och fjärdeplatsen på listan över flest direktkvalificeringar till final.
LIAMOO har även medverkat som gästartist på DJ-stjärnan John de Sohns låt "Forever Young", turnerat med Diggiloo och tillsammans med Klara Hammarström framfört Sveriges officiella låt till vinter-OS i Peking, "Guld, svett & tårar".
Under 2023 har LIAMOO:s och polska popstjärnan KUBA:s låt ”Running With Lightning” blivit en radiohit i Polen och följts upp av jullåten ”Two Christmas Hearts”.
Den 10 februari, samma dag som LIAMOO tävlar i Göteborg, infaller det kinesiska nyåret, och bland de tolv djuren i den kinesiska zodiaken infaller nu Drakens år. LIAMOO har berättat för podden Schlagerfesten att hans låt handlar om just den kinesiska draken men att han inte blev uppmärksammad på sammanträffandet med nyåret förrän i ett sent skede.
Låtens Text:
I was my own
Worst enemy
But I made
My fear
My energy
I found him in the darkest cave
He told me that I should be brave
Showed me what I'm really about
No matter what happens
I won’t slay my dragon
No won’t run away
I'm breathing fire
And I'm spreading my wings
They take me higher
I finally found that I am
Not not my enemy
Not not my enemy
Not not my enemy
Cause I found my dragon
I don’t need
No aid
Or remedy
Cause I finally found
My melody
Yeah, found him in the darkest cave
He told me that I should be brave
Showed me what I'm really about
No matter what happens
I won’t slay my dragon
No
I'm breathing fire
And I'm spreading my wings
They take me higher
I finally found that I am
Not not my enemy
Not not my enemy
Not not my enemy
Cause I found my dragon
I'm breathing fire
And I'm spreading my wings
Not not my enemy
Not not my enemy
Not not my enemy
Cause I found my dragon

[@Damen42]

I agree. Insane. I voted for him.

[@sleepyavo]

i am so sad this didn’t win. it was the only song that actually touched my heart and emotions. the visual performance was the absolute best as well. the chaotic lights and stuff in acts like “unforgettable” makes my eyes hurt so i don’t enjoy it. fave song!!! you fought well liamoo💚

[@paularoberg694]

Så coolt! Vad glad du såg ut när det funkade!! Du var bäst ❤❤

[@Thereseunit]

Blev oerhört förvånad & smått ledsen över att Liam inte vann!!!🥹Årets klart bästa och mest kompetenta Mellopowerlåt. Bäst musikkomposition, Bäst röst, Bäst scenspråk, Bäst scenframställning. Ett hån att han ej gick ut som vinnare, men låten med Liam kommer garanterat toppa alla listor och generera honom en hel del musiknummer framgent. Tack för ett helt Fantastiskt framträdande rakt igenom Liam. Bäst när det gäller for ever!!!!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@taklampan650]

Han hade verkligen förtjänat vinsten!

[@pinkk758]

[@SSuillin]

thing about LIAMOO is, I legit would have turned at 0.25 and just carried on clapping and cheering throughout if this was 'the Voice' hypothetically. Im amazed it didnt finish higher in Melodifest. One day he will come second again or WIN! Love from Ireland

[@MaxSujyNorden]

[@atsoovaskainen4165]

This was so much better than Marcus & Martinus! In my opinion this or Heroes are calling should have won!😢

[@saraasplund3638]

Rigtiga vinnaren på riktigt❤

[@starlord_real]

As soon as we heard the song for the first time in Deltävling 2, we knew: WOW! That's it! The winning song 2024! Even after Deltävling 3, 4 and 5 we knew: no, nothing changes, Liamoo is the best! Liamoo and “Dragon” are clear winners. And then? Then came the final and in the end “only” 5th place? That was too much of a good thing, really. We were so disappointed and almost angry. Of course we also like Marcus & Martinus, allready since last year and their song “Air”. But here it's very clear that Liamoo was simply better with his song. Whatever went into the background voting results, Liamoo deserved to win! We know Liamoo allready since 2018. But the last few times his songs weren't that strong for victory. But “Dragon” trumped everything. Whatever: For us, Liamoo remains the “real” winner in 2024 and he will remain in our hearts forever and of course on our playlists forever!

[@Damen42]

Well said.

[@tobiashedlund4186]

❤❤❤❤

[@AntoDB]

If it wasn't Marcus and Martinus it should have been him ! Incredible voice 😮

[@duckonthetruck]

robbed in what time???? should be represent sweden with this epic performance and song. still waiting for his winning 😭😭😭

[@MaksimMaligin-pi7tl]

LIMOO❤😍🥰😘

[@xavierv8132]

Wauw... seems Sweden didn't want to host twice in a row. Only song in Melodifestivalen 2024 which could have won Eurovision all together. Don't give up Liamoo, one day you'll get there.

[@user-ef2gv3ni7n]

Супер. Поет хорошо. Просто классно

[@cimu1237]

This should have won izi

[@besaardani121]

The real winner.

[@Isorill95]

❤❤❤❤❤🎉 😊

[@user-xk4xw2uk2k]

Even though Liamoo's this year entry is one of my top three favorites, I think, in my humble opinion, Loreen had set higher criteria for Melodifestivalen. Loreen and this year winner, M&M, 's staging look much more like watching an MV. While Liamoo's breathtaking live was halfway in between.

[@user-cb3fb3qb9z]

❤🎉

[@user-vz5ur7xz6o]

❤❤✨✨🥰🔥🔥✨✨

[@Denis-89]

Might be the best staging of the year. The song not so much though. But he is a great performer

[@Fazedampjanne]

Detta var den riktiga vinnaren

[@pahis2022]

[@stevengensmantel919]

Beste i hele kvelden men alle trodde Dotter kommer vinner rart siste plass og Marcus & Martinus vant synes Liamoo var bedre ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@svenskpro1262]

Skulle vara så interessant att veta vad alla i melodifestivalen skulle kommit i Eurovision…

[@svenskpro1262]

Känns ibland som att det är svårare att vinna Mello än Eurovision…
