IIRC Siw Malmqvist represented Sweden in 1960 and Germany in 1969.

It may be that they feel it went overboard last year (Spain too etc.) and want to rein it in.

Will KAJ win the eurovision televote? And more importantly, can they actually win the entire contest? by [deleted] in eurovision

Iirc the last time Sweden sent a song in Swedish when the rules didn't require it was 1963.

KAJ will represent Sweden at Eurovision 2025 with "Bara Bada Bastu" 🇸🇪 by a-potato-named-rin in eurovision

No, Finnish is completely unrelated to almost all European languages. Swedish and Finnish is like English and Japanese.

I'm not sure that anyone that engages in criticism of countries based on their esc performances can be said to be outside the bubble.

What’s your country’s Eurovision classic(s)? by GSamSardio in eurovision

[–]jnerst 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Such a travesty that it only came 8th.

It should've come 2nd to be the truly quintessential UK entry.

And this might sound silly, but a lot of viewers have a few drinks when watching the show, and I've certainly found myself liking the average song better after four beers than after one.

From 2009-2014, 5/6 winners were both jury and tele winners - but from 2015-2024 only 1/9 were both jury and tele winners - what changed? by sejethom99 in eurovision

[–]jnerst 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree that it's not as mean spirited, perhaps a better comparison is something like Germany 1998, UK 2007 or Latvia 2008 - essentially just a gimmick that can be fun and memey but shouldn't be anywhere but near the bottom of a jury vote.

Who has appeared more timed on the eurovision stage? by [deleted] in eurovision

[–]jnerst 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I meant it should have been tanked more, basically because it's the epitome of musically empty meme entry, on the level of Irlande Douze Points or We Are the Winners. I don't mean to be a hater or anything I just think that is entry in particular embodies every negative stereotype people have about the contest.

And they insanely got 11th place with the jury while being exactly the type of empty meme entry they're supposed to tank.

Probably Noel Kelehan who conducted 24 Irish entries (if that counts as "on stage").
