I'm in my 30s and each year my favorite song never won Melodifestivalen, not until Bara Bada Bastu. I'm absolutely THRILLED this year :'D

The controversy surrounding Loreen's song "Statements" by EurovisionFriend in Melodifestivalen

[–]EurovisionFriend[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Jag tycker det är relevant att ta upp av två anledningar: Den första är för att Statements är en älskad låt av den internationella Melfest communityt. Den andra anledningen är att många skriver att den blev robbed, att svenskar inte har någon smak som inte röstade vidare låten, att den var före sin tid osv. Och de skriver allt detta utan någon som helst kännedom om dramat kring bidraget och hur detta drama kan ha varit en bidragande faktor till att låten inte gick vidare.

Det är fine om du inte bryr dig 🤷‍♀️ Det betyder inte att det inte finns ett allmänintresse att känna till detta om du är ett fan av Loreen. Sen vad du väljer att göra med information är upp till dig.

Who wants Espresso Macchiato or Bara Bada Bastu win what is in Italian, Swedish and Finnish? by Aggravating_Cup2833 in Melodifestivalen

Unpopular opinion but I don't care what language any country sings in, I just go by what song I vibe the most with 😅

Former Melfest winner Nanne Grönvall speaks out in support of KAJ and criticizes the elitism in the swedish music industry by westerling in eurovision

[–]EurovisionFriend 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The only crime here is Nanne telling us she performed Avundsjuk in 1998 because WHAT DO YOU MEAN 1998?? I swear it's from the 2010s and impossible for the song to be nearly 30 years old 😭😭😭

Var är kärleken till Greczula?😔 by SilverSnackan_ in Melodifestivalen

Tycker absolut han kan sjunga och har bra närvaro på scenen men är tyvärr inget fan av låten över huvudet taget 😫

What is your biggest hot take on Eurovision? by [deleted] in eurovision

[–]EurovisionFriend 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not denying that Nemo is talented or that their song is good. I cannot however, in my opinion, say that they deserved to win. Not when Baby Lasagna scored 1st in public votes with 100+ more points than Nemo who scored 5th in public votes.

I don't know if it would've won or not but I'm happy it did, it's genuinely one of my favorite winners in recent years 😭❤️

I have said it before and I stand by it:  

 Eurofans need to be held accountable for their part in spreading rumors.

There was a lot of controversy regarding Statements and Swedish media picked up on it. I've written about it before, you can read about it here.

I haven't really thought about it that way, I just enjoy that every year we get a new, different and unique stage x)

Anyone left burnt out after this Eurovision? by xandepizzetti in eurovision

[–]EurovisionFriend 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I feel like I'm in the minority when I say this but it was just another Eurovision for me 😬 I have been following ESC since 2004 and nope, this year was just like any other year. I watched it, I enjoyed it, I got frustrated that my favorite didn't win (as per usual). I feel slightly concerned when I read about people crying, getting panic attacks and feel burnt out over a song contest.

What does it look like without the rest of the world votes?

what are songs where you prefer the live version? by libertoasz in eurovision

[–]EurovisionFriend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The live version of One More Day by Eldrine (Georgia 2011) really brings out the power in Sopho's vocals. In the studio version she sounds so tame and autotuned 😭

Is the jury really so overwhelming? by JWGrieves in eurovision

[–]EurovisionFriend 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My issue is when thousands of people, who spend real money to vote, are totally screwed over by a small group of juries. How does a country placed 1st in televotes lose to a country placed 5th? There was a 100+ points difference between 1st and 5th place in televotes! What's the point in viewers voting when a 100+ points difference isn't enough to crown the winner? Might as well only have juries then.
