Måns Zelmerlöw and Petra Mede open the Eurovision Song Contest with a musical revue.

[@Daarkdevil93]

@@SuAva no thanks, it costs way too much for us here in sweden. 2013 and 2016 made that our state television needed to drop for example the olympics and much more

They are great, but do the Swedes give guarantees that they let Mans and Petra host for all eternity? We should find out :-D

[@kennikitty]

"Getting 12 points from your neightbor is a sure way to get your song disgraced, but if Sweden gets 12 points from Norway, it's clearly just good taste." Nailed it.

[@bartoszbartosz2366]

actually they didn't this year 😄

[@kennikitty]

True, they only got 7 points from the Norwegian televotes, which is quite shocking, BUT 12 points from the Danish & Icelandic televotes and 12 points from the Finnish jury. Sweden on the other hand blessed Australia with 24 points. The nordic friendship is getting kinda rusty, isn't it?

Clearly you haven't heard Julia Zimero and Sam (I forget his last name) commentate. They were the best, but they've been replaced now which is really sad for all the Australians

[@LadyVonHautkopf]

@@AbbyMaskell No, I haven't heard them not any other but Norton and the Spanish commentator (who sadly passed away some years ago). It would be awesome if they did some kind of special show with all commentators so we can discover how the other countries watch the contest hahaha

[@Jettus]

"But when Sweden gets 12 points from Norway it's clearly just good taste" I'm actually not gonna talk against that, cause when we give Sweden 12 points it's normally a really good song ~yes, I'm Norwegian

[@swanpride]

Honestly, despite the "neighbours voting for each other" thing, usually the best song wins if not too much politics blends into the whole event. Sweden just tends to sent the best musicians.

[@lobaxx]

When we don’t get douze points from Norway then we know we sent something bad

[@silvergir89]

@@swanpride You should of seen the voting between Turkey, Greece, and Cypress.

[@eken1725]

I think it has to do with people having similar music taste with their neighbours, so they vite for that, and the fact they are neighbour also helps a bit, but mostly people having common music tastes.

[Måns]: Well, it's a multinational competition With a collaborative mission So much like the Olympics in a way [Petra]: Sure, it's rather less athletic [Måns]: Though just as energetic [Petra]: More colorful, and what's the word? [Måns (spoken)]: Theatrical? [Petra]: We make music and friends with every nation [Both]: And bankrupt the hosting TV station [Måns]: To help to shore up a post-war Europe, in 1956, it all began [Petra]: The set, I'm rather certain, was nothing but a curtain There were only seven countries and one camera-man [Måns]: But then it started growing now Australia's ours! [Petra]: We're a big black hole sucking in all the stars! [Both]: We'll take over the world and then conquer Mars! That's Eurovision! [Petra]: It's an annual celebration of our culture It's the highlight of our year [Måns]: And a victory can catapult you Just look at my career! [Petra]: Yes, so we see.. You get to share the stage with me! We're all excited, the fans united From Reykjavík, Riga and Rome [Måns]: At Eurovision, there's no derision cause wherever you come from Here is home! [Fan #1]: For loving Eurovision, I get bullied at school [Fan #2]: But when we come together, I don't feel a fool! [Fan #1]: Cause for one week a year, we're pretty cool! [Fan #1+2]: That's Eurovision! [Petra]: Getting votes from your neighbours is a sure way to get your song disgraced [Måns]: But when Sweden gets 12 points from Norway, it's clearly just good taste [Petra]: That gimmicky factor, the wacky, the weird Céline on a tractor, Conchita's beard Pirates and penguins and puppets on strings These are a few of my favourite things! The singers come together like songbirds of a feather For victory they hope and pray and beg [Måns]: Wait there in the green room, an often rather mean room, wishing all of our competitors break a leg [Petra]: The impact of the show I cannot overstate [Måns]: No matter where you go, it's a source of debate [All]: But it's something you either love or hate That's Eurovision! [Petra]: And the interval act is your one big chance To fail to live up to Riverdance! Where else can you hear Romansh and Luxembourgish sung? We've had two songs with sign language and three in made-up tongue And Antillean Creole, Norwegian, Võro, Viennese Neopolitan, Catalan, Udmurt, Montenegrin and Maltese [Måns]: Ancient Greek, Albanian, Slovak, Ukrainian, Romani, Russian, Romanian Crimean, Slovenian, Hebrew, Armenian, Arabic and Lithuanian [Petra]: Portuguese, Macedonian, Breton, Estonian, Pontic, Icelandic, Croatian, Bulgarian, Georgian, Italian, Bosnian, Latvian, Corsican, Serbian, German, Hungarian [Both]: Polish and English and Irish and Finnish and Swedish and Spanish and Dutch Samogitian and Turkish and Danish and French [Petra]: Tahitian, though not very much! [Måns]: And though I don't know Czech, Swahili, Azeri or Greek [All]: Music is a language that we all know how to speak That's Eurovision! It's your decision Though not taking part is a crime [Måns]: Douze points or zero You'll be a hero of our time! [All]: In the Eurovision family, we do it 'glitz and glamour-ly' Cause rich in kitsch and hammily is best! This is My-rovision And His-rovision And Her-rovision And Your-rovision Bienvenue, välkomna, be our guest! At the Eurovision Song Contest!
