Frans - If I were Sorry | Sweden | Melodifestivalen 2016

Frans Jeppsson Wall fick sitt genombrott när han enbart 7 år gammal sjöng "Who's da Man" till Zlatan Ibrahimovics ära. 10 år senare gjorde han comeback som 17 år gammal och vann hela Melodifestivalen 2016 med låten "If I Were Sorry"!
- Låten är en twisted kärlekshistoria med temat att man kommit över någon. Det är upp till personen som lyssnar på den att tolka det till sina egna erfarenheter. Lugnt tempo, genre får ni se, säger Frans.
Hur scenshowen kommer att bli är än så länge hemligt.
- Det enda jag kan säga är att det kan bli lite unikt om vi genomför de planer vi har just nu. Sedan får man se, säger Frans.
Förutom Frans själv har Oscar Fogelström, Michael Saxell och Fredrik Andersson skrivit "If I Were Sorry". Alla tre har erfarenhet av Melodifestivalen sedan tidigare, där Fogelström skrev musiken till mellanakterna 2004 och 2005, Saxell komponerade Gladys del Pilars bidrag "Det vackraste jag vet" 1994 och Andersson skrev Björn Ranelids omtalade låt "Mirakel" 2012.
Texten: If I Were Sorry
I'd crawl thru the desert on my hands and knees
rehearsin my pretty please
climb the highest mountain
if I were sorry
Shout it from the top
swim under water until my lungs exploded
walk into the fire
if I were sorry
I'd run a thousand mile
wouldn't stop until I dropped
wouldnt take a break to breathe until I got close
enough
Then I'd do it all again
if I really had the chance
but I know deep inside for you it's just another
dance
If I were sorry
I'd give you all the glory
if I were sorry
If I were sorry
it would be a different story
If I were sorry
if I were sorry oh
I'd hold my breath until my face turned blue
I'd rob a bank and the post office too
swim across the ocean
if I were sorry
I'd take wow of silence
I wouldn't say a single word
until you really heard
if I were sorry
I'd run a thousand miles
wouldn't stop until I dropped
wouldn't take the break to breathe
until I got close enough
If I were sorry
I'd give you all the glory
if I were sorry
If I were sorry
it would be a different story
if I were sorry oh
Now did you ever realize
that your mistake had a prize
oh you threw it all away
cuz you're the devil in disguise
Now would you ever realize
the consequences of your lies
and would you save the falling tear or act as if
there's nothing there
If I were sorry
if I were sorry
If I were sorry
if I were sorry
If I were sorry
I'd take a vow of silence
I wouldn't say a single word
if I were sorry
If I were sorry
I'd be on my hands and knees
beggin pretty please
if I were sorry
but I'm not sorry no

Han är sjutton år, people. Så mycket hat mot en 17åring. Han var fett duktig och speciellt jämfört med den mesta annan skit som skickas i år är det super! Hoppas det går bra för honom! :) charmtroll också, jättesöt! Haha

I love this song! He doesn't need any colorful lights or other special effects. It's very beautiful and original song. ☺ 12 points from Poland. ♥

[@vici5414]

My favorite was Swenden, because he had no big, complicated show and has simply made just his thing. He looked very sympathetic and cute and he's only 17 !!! He did not look nervous. Especially the song is in the German charts at number two. Congratulations!!! I think Germany should have given you the twelve points. Vici (And I'm really sorry for my english)

Everyone needs to look to Sweden on how to pick a song, and how to make it part of life. Melodifestivalen is a show like no other. This is why Sweden is always considered among the best. In the 90's they should have won more. This song won't win, but it won't be far from the top

[@färbocks]

[@jordantanmateos1821]

Tror inte att det är ett problem. I början av programmet när gina läste upp alla deltagare fick ju inte frans några höga rop och klappar. Men efter låten fick han det. Dvs folk gillar låten. Internationella juryn kommer nog att gilla detta bidrag.

[@hugogothberg3015]

Jordan Tanmateos Möjligtvis, men ändå tror du inte att det blir svårare i finalen? Det finns (enligt mig) betydligt bättre låtar där än i semin igår. Så tävlingen blir tuffare

Only this year I found this Melodifestivalen in Sweden and I think it is almost as good as original Eurovision. And you have chose to participate in EV the best of the best! I really liked Don't worry song too, but this one is just a pearl. The only reason you can lose is that you have already won and people don't like the country to win two times in a row. Anyway, 12 points from at least 10 countries, good luck from Lithuania!

Ser man på antal visningar på youtube och spotify så kommer den här lätt få flest röster. Dock kommer de internationella jurygrupperna totaldissa den. Skickar vi denna låten kommer vi komma på plats 20 i finalen.

[@calletheduck5915]

Andra länder gav denna mest poäng av alla låtar i Melodifestivalen. Även i Sverige röstade man på denna sång mest. Det verkar vara fler som tycker om sången än inte. Är bara logisk och hoppas att alla som skriver dåligt om Sveriges bidrag borde tänka efter och kanske heja på Sverige ist. Klart att låten kan vara bra/dålig för alla. Olika musiksmaker. Jag hoppas Sverige vinner och låten struntar jag mer eller mindre i.

Best wishes from Ireland... Even though if you win you equal our record of seven wins, but even so.... This song is so current and I LOVE it. Top 3 at least :-)

Well, I think it was the best song. 2 days after the Eurovision Song Contest I only have this song and the song from Belgium in my head. Sweden is doing a lot of things right. My country Germany had success every time the german host Stefan Raab was involved. 6 times top 10 with 1 win. I don't understand why Germany change the concept again. Lena was chosen in the show "Unser Star für Oslo" (Our Star for Oslo). First we chose the artist and then we had a ton of well written songs for the international audience. It worked. One year later Lena again with 10th place. One year after that Roman Lob. It was the same show concept and again top 10. I think Jamie-Lee did a great job and in my opinion she didn't deserve the last place, but it seems we are not ready for Europe with this stuff. I hope they change the concept again. Sweden does a great job every year. Well done!
