That staging.

How DARE Pop Justice be down on the most important day of the year!!!

I've been so excited all day after hearing the snippet and now gobsmacked at the performance pictures. The nails, the outfit, the staging (which apparently all moves). Everything is perfection

 

[KamikazeHeart]

The budget.

Can't wait to be dissapointed when she DNQs again.

I can't believe the year Eurovision is around the corner from me, the possibility of Loreen representing Sweden, the possibility of her winning and I'm on holiday for the final

 

[WowWowWowWow]

I am really hopeful that Loreen wins it all and heads to Liverpool, she is the only person that I want to see join Johnny Logan as a double-ESC winner.

Well ok ABBA and Celine Dion I’d be okay with too.

The full song isn't even released yet but I keep saying the part we heard for now. Ha, the impact.

 

[nathanspears]

Just remembered there are other songs than Loreen this week

Six Feet Under reminds me so much of Owl City - Fireflies

This is my 2nd most favorite comment about this deltävling ssfsdgvgfhbs

Loreen winning Melfest this year seems like a closed book to me. I'm not even considering any other outcome. I know she flopped in 2017 but this doesn't feel like 2017. It feels like 2012.

Honestly still super worried about Maria Sur and the Swedish public's tendency for sympathy votes.

Yeah I think she’s trodden a far better line on creating an accessible visual experience but still having it be somewhat unique, for the Swedish public this time.

 

[WowWowWowWow]

It’s honestly a little insulting to Loreen that she comes to the stage with this almost art installation of a performance and has to compete against people who just stand on the stage to sing or maybe shuffle a foot.

If she pulls it through and wins this, I'm worried about this "high-tech, plastic-perfect" staging at Eurovision which will probably leave the average viewer... cold and diconnected.

Me at approx 7:45pm GMT tomorrow night having to eat my words about a 2023 Yimmy Yoker / Yimmy Yansson / Bridge Troll song with a Sacha Jean Baptiste staging concept.

Loreen has never looked cold and disconnected on stage I am sorry for you

I’m not sure how much/little of this is part of Loreen’s staging or the standard Melfest stage but either way, how sure are we that she’ll even be allowed to do build this on the Eurovision stage?

No need to be offended. I was talking about the staging and the way it would translate to viewers. I never said she was cold nor disconnected.

Hope she’s got the money to do it 3 times if need be - didn’t Charlotte say that her “The Girl” screen and animations were so expensive that she couldn’t afford to do it again in both Andra Chansen and the final? So the voters said “OK Char, we’ll make sure you only have to do it once!”?
