Martin Stenmarck - Las Vegas (Sweden) Live - Eurovision Song Contest 2005

[@Lantispitfire]

SVT: What happened to all our points between 2005 and 2010?? People: Uhhhh... Martin kind of gambled them away in Las Vegas..

[@kurburaccoonus]

lmfao

[@vladyslavkovalenko4454]

"Invincible" was invincible against Las Vegas battle hehe (and "Hero" was superunderrated, my winner actually)

[@22nd_Place_Vasil]

Haha I laughed so much

[@Botafogoplayground]

Ha ha ha

[@eleanast]

I still remember Martin stenmarc and loved his performance! He deserved higher place. Sooo 00s vibe

[@thesnesgeek]

He did, as a swede, being 9 at the time, felt so cool.

[@dominik2271]

Still in love with this

[@gino7lord]

So the juries picked this to represented them over nanne grönval????

[@jaguar-s9t]

At that time, the jury was Swedish cities. But if it had been European countries as it is now, I think Sweden would have sent someone else in 2005.

[@benedwa21]

Perfect confident singing and the song arrangement is so awesome. 10/10

[@kjESCil]

This is my favourite Swedish entry of this century ❤ My 2nd place

[@iphone3gsI]

The IKEA-Crew at the end killed it.

[@babiskornezos4866]

Lena Philipsson and Martin Stenmarck! My favorite artists in Istanbul and Kiev! I love them!

[@jaguar-s9t]

Fun fact: He is the swedish voice of Atreyu in The NeverEnding Story, Lightning McQueen and Spirit (he also singing all songs in Spirit)

[@ariccua6101]

Just here because a hockey team based in the city mentioned in this song won the championship.

[@PK-bu8jy]

The singer looks like Eric Saade in Eurovision 2011 in Germany

[@anthosss]

PJK 13 omg yes

[@tacticsnbacon3939]

P K yes it kinda look like him.

[@goldenconstellations9887]

lol exactly what I was thinking

[@zsoltbajusz4479]

Absolutely fantastic! ---- Excellent --- BEST

San Francisco, Las Vegas...singing about a US-City has never been successful at a EUROvision Song Contest :-)

Rockefeller Street also...not a city but still xD

[@rab1699]

Public almost gave Nanne double as many votes as this but the tasteless juries gave this the win with 3 points, really? This almost came 3rd in the televote only beat 3rd place by about 3000 votes.

[@Denis-89]

Remember the reaction this got the days after contest, months even. Sweden never got this low of a place since the 90s. Stenmarck even publicly apologized for the low score and we all thought people wouldnt vote for oss ever again! Oh if we knew how bad it would get...

[@kirschcali]

We have 2019 right now and this is the best Swedish entry in this millennium so far...

[@DentalFlan]

2007 was good tho

[@thesnesgeek]

My favorite is Popular from 2011.

[@kirschcali]

@@thesnesgeek I love that one as well!

[@thesnesgeek]

@@kirschcali Yes, one more. Popular is considered to be less popular in recent times.

[@kirschcali]

@@thesnesgeek Really? I still think many people enjoy it, although it's kinda standing in the shadow of "Euphoria" the year after.

[@yerelfutbol]

That would be a nice soundtrack of a movie about Las Vegas... But singing about an imaginary song about a Us City in Eurovision seems silly to me.

[@hatridmunpitaa]

This one is actually more soulful than the last four Swedish songs gathered

[@AliciaPortel]

No conocía esta canción. Buena interpretación Martin.

[@abrahansaezsanchez9191]

Aunque quizá no obtuvo el éxito esperado como la mayoría de las canciones suecas en el festival,fue una buena actuación como todas las de este país.

[@broforce2476]

its pretty nice despite all the blames. I am still loving it in 2022. Much better than most of the recent winners/ 2nd / 3rd.

[@1SevaraVl]

Восхитительно, зажигательно, красиво....просто БРАВО!

[@danielroy1966]

Well, I liked it, but not many other "non-Swedes" seemed to do.

[@taklampan650]

Don't get why this song is so hated. Yeah, it didn't do very well in the Eurovision but it's still a good song and worthy winner of Melodifestivalen in my eyes

[@thesnesgeek]

Dude, 90’s kids at the time loved, it was about as cool as När vindarna viskar mitt namn.

[@ProudPassport]

Me watching this now in Las Vegas 🥲

[@frankbischof248]

Martin performed better in Sweden than in the final of ESC. And it is right, was juries' fault that the real fave Nanne was avoided. So no wonder that Las Vegas also failed by televoting in the ESC final.

[@duckluck8377]

is it only me or does he look a bit like a young Tom Cruise

[@thesnesgeek]

Sort of yes

[@elliesbrains]

Well when I go to Las Vegas I definitely won't be listening to this.

[@jessicamy]

Should have been Nanne.

[@themalarkey1413]

Spirit, is that you?

[@thesnesgeek]

Yes

[@metallicroostersailor8105]

I strangely like this one

[@kurburaccoonus]

IMO, this is not our worst entry. it's at least catchy. Can't say the same about 2007 or 2010. ps Nanne was not that much better.

[@eurovisiontszai9125]

Oh no he is back again and advanced to Andra Chansen!!!!

[@22nd_Place_Vasil]

I love this. It's amazing. But Sweden has sent better songs than this.

[@charlesxitheholy]

Travolta's copy?

[@domshaheen7356]

This is cheesy fun but the staging, outfit and “hair” let it down. Sure, he’s not vocally great here but this entry is far better than those Steps clones Sweden sent (Friends and Fame) or that awful You...

[@GeorgeAustinTay]

This is HORRIBLE. Nanne Grönvall should've been performing there with "Håll om mig" (she won the televote in Melodifestivalen 2005, but the juries sent this mess)

[@randall3503]

yes complaing like 11 years later

Ha! it happened this year again with Robin Bengtsson. he lost the televote.

And Bengtsson even looks similar to Martin circa 2005, a faceless generic male pop singer.

As an American its funny to see Europes opinion of Vegas while almost everybody here views it as one of our worst cities

[@thesnesgeek]

That’s Sweden for ya

[@karolinepettersson8063]

Bra framträdande, tycker jag.

[@alcazaruk]

This was painful to watch. He couldn't sing properly that night, his voice had never sounded so strained (he can actually sing, this guy, under normal circumstances). Unlucky, I guess. Plus nobody cares about Las Vegas in Europe.

Not Sweden's best, but better than the trashy pop they've sent almost every year since 2011 without fail. 2014 and 2016 weren't bad, but for the rest...

How can a song about Las Vegas lights be THIS tame and uninteresting? It's not among the worst batch of 2005, but it's among the least inspiring ones for sure.

[@lgmadrid]

Maybe the worst song of Sweden since 2000 to today. I don'tknow what was the swedish people thinking...

[@GeorgeAustinTay]

The Swedes are not to blame. Nanne Grönvall won the televote, but the juries heavily voted for this instead.
