Loreen - "Tattoo" + General Discussion

[nathanspears]

They've used the heat performance for the official Youtube channel from what I can see!

EDIT: Hmm, I think they've cut and spliced different performances. The shot of the person with the phone has been cut out of the Eurovision one but other bits look the same as Malmo.

EDIT 2: It's the jury show

She sounds Scouse already haha

"Oh gimme a kiss darlin'"

You were not shitting, this has been an excellent week for pop starlets enthusiastically trying on accents.

It doesn't match with any of the televised performances so is probably from Friday

Yeah, someone on Twitter just confirmed it's the jury show

I read 'wanked'

Ha! I was in drag and looking cute but I wasn't getting chaser vibes.

ANYWAY. Really hoping all this success leads Loreen to doing a proper tour. I saw her at a Pride gig in Dublin a few years back and she was incredible but I would love a proper tour. Surely with all this exposure and the year ahead she will but who knows with our tease queen.

Jury performance is great. Will we be getting an official music video?

I might have a go at doing my own spliced version though, because none of them are technically perfect all the way through.

It's a shame about the dodgy shots tonight because some of the early shots are better lit than before

Remember when they released the Euphoria video in JULY. And the UK video channels have continued to just show the Melfest performance.

Me and my friend being the only ones to know this when it played in the gay bar last night

 

[Laurence]

It’s getting airplay in NL already! Queen

Wait a damn minute, Eurovision is in Liverpool too?!?

 

[W2K]

I just can’t get over how bloody good this song is. If it doesn’t win Eurovision then there’s something seriously wrong in my opinion.

Ashamed to admit that, prior to Tattoo, the only songs by Loreen I knew were Euphoria and Requiem Solution with Kleerup. Have been doing a dive into her discography on Spotify. She is incredible.

What a treat you let yourself in for! Amongst her small but amazing collection of songs lies some real gems. If i had to rank my top 10 Loreen tracks it would be -

01 - 71 Charger
02 - Tattoo
03 - Euphoria
04 - Statements
05 - Neon Lights
06 - I’m In It With You
07 - Requiem Solution
08 - Crying Out Your Name
09 - Jupiter Drive
10 - Everytime

I love Heal, love Ride, but... I don't know why, but I'm not feeling it. It comes off a bit pretentious maybe? And I HATE the YOU-OU-OU G:son hook as it completely shatters the mood.

 

[swim]

How can a song be pretentious

I just posted in the Melfest thread, but didn't realise this was being discussed here.

For me, heat 4 is the closest to perfect, by far. The shots, the lighting, the smoke, the timing, it all just works. I think some of the shots in the video they've used are too clean and we lose the atmosphere. It also doesn't feel as epic.

It is definitely the best one, though I'd still like it to be a little less smokey. I liked it being a bit clearer at the start of the final performance, and that the orange light came through a bit better. But yeah then at the climax, it was a bit too clear.
I made this yesterday, which flips between the semi and final performances.
