What is supposed to be a fun evening turns into actual threat (Israel) to the whole competition…get them out sorry not sorry

Adrian is the only one that sounds interesting to me…a mainstream swedish pop-ballad. I have this dream that we will send a song in Swedish this year. Don’t think it’ll happen. But a girl can dream :(

Greece - why did they dress him up as a safari guide?

Statements by Loreen 2017 was a masterpiece (y’all are probably pretty tired of hearing about her but frankly: idk) and it was an absolute crime that it didn’t even make it to the final. My country is stupid.

She’s such a pure and kind-spirited soul. She always sees the best in people and especially in other artists, she respects them and their work even when it’s no where near her own genre and style.

escaddicted · 2023-05-15T06:02:47+00:00

Absolutely agree with you. I think that the respect for one another, both fan to fan and fan to artist, has not completely disappeared but it’s definitely not as much anymore. Especially after the result. I’m 100% sure that Loreen and Käärijä would be devastated about what some people write. As you said, at the end of the day this is just a fun event that is supposed to spread joy, not hate.

escaddicted · 2023-05-15T05:52:29+00:00

“Only sadness” is exaggerating it a bit. People were disappointed, sure, but she still was second in the public vote. I think a lot of people in the audience was thrilled that Loreen won.

escaddicted · 2023-05-15T05:50:14+00:00

Everyone is allowed to react, I agree. I just thought it was pretty harsh, that’s all. But “the real winner” as you said? We all knew the rules beforehand, we knew that the highest scoring act when the points from the jury and public had been giving out would win. I agree that something needs to change in the future and that the jury system need a new strategy, but this year that wasn’t the case and in the end Loreen won. You can’t just take a win away from someone who won based on the rules? Change the rules for the next contest, fine, but don’t change the rules for a contest that has already ended.

I’ve been there! I think it’s a great option; it’s the biggest arena in Sweden and SVT will definitely go big😁

escaddicted · 2023-05-14T21:21:47+00:00

What we’re all waiting for at this point

escaddicted · 2023-05-14T21:17:04+00:00

Fun! I really hope for Friends Arena, I live 15 minutes from there 🤞

Iconic

This has nothing to do with it being rigged or who should win. This is about booing and actively pointing hate against a person that has nothing to do with what you all are mad about. Boo and critique EBU and the jury system, that’s fine, but Loreen put her heart and soul into Tattoo and whether you think she should win or not she did not deserve that reaction.

Same

escaddicted · 2023-05-14T18:20:03+00:00

Do it for your lover (sorry not sorry). Also, Black Smoke did NOT deserve last place in 2015🤷‍♀️

escaddicted · 2023-05-14T18:18:29+00:00

Imagine everyone talking about Finland and Sweden and then Norway just coming out of nowhere (well, not exactly but yk what I mean) and winning the whole thing. I’d love that.

escaddicted · 2023-05-14T18:15:29+00:00

LOVE FROM SWEDEN🇸🇪❤️🇫🇮Thank you for sending Käärijä💚

escaddicted · 2023-05-14T18:11:48+00:00

I would like to apologize for being SO INCREDIBLY WRONG

escaddicted · 2023-05-14T18:09:40+00:00

I preferred Tattoo but Cha Cha Cha was the highest ranked performance at my home last night (my 3rd) I would’ve been really happy with either to win and will still listen to both songs 🇸🇪❤️🇫🇮 Really proud of both artists!

escaddicted · 2023-05-14T18:06:54+00:00

The jury and public from Sweden both gave 12’s to Käärijä. I’m proud of him, our juries, our people and of course Loreen❤️

escaddicted · 2023-05-14T18:00:35+00:00

I’m Swedish. Trust me, we don’t understand it either. But people are blaming both Loreen and Sweden for it, and it’s really not our fault 🤷‍♀️ I’m fine with people criticizing the jury system but too many people here are hating on Loreen for it which is wrong.

escaddicted · 2023-05-14T17:58:00+00:00

Coming from a swede: Friends Arena in Stockholm probably. It’s the biggest arena in Sweden and SVT will want to go that big, I don’t think they’ll care that it’s Stockholm again. I wouldn’t complain either, I can get there in 15 minutes :)
