Yes dude! Finally someone who actually understands what this song is about! I'm a musician myself and just like you understand the copyright thing about ABBA at the start of Tattoo. That a song is vibe-wise and sound-wise inspired by another song isn't a rip off neither a copyright infringement. Both the chords and the notes for The Winner Takes It All are different from Tattoo. While the first part melody for the ABBA song starts low and goes upwards with the final note goes down again, the melody sequence for Tattoo starts high and goes down the scale with the final note goes up again. Tattoo is absolutely a grower and you're right about it's about expectations hearing it for the first time. It's not as direct "easy listening" as Euphoria, which btw Tattoo shouldn't be compared with for obvious reasons. The best part comes after the bridge when the song goes full power and there's a switch of chords and melody before the familiar sounding last "You're stuck on me like a tattoo" lyrics line. The build up and sublime arrangements is pop perfection and Loreen conveys the emotions of the song as only she can do. The staging enhances the song. At the end of the day Eurovision is about the whole package of song, staging and the live performance from the artists voice-wise and how the choreography is executed.
Something about Loreen going into the competition with this substandard song at this point in her career is a little sad. It would be like Shirley Temple wanting to go back into children's movies after her work with the UN.
This song I skipped through for Eurovision because it was lame. I can't believe it won. Norway or Finland or England should have won. Serbia, Austria, Australia, pretty much most of the entries were better than Sweden.
They had problems with the smoke machine as you can see in different parts of the performance, the smoke covered her and the screen just looked beige/brown.
Really interesting reaction - it helps me understand a lot better why I enjoy it much more now compared to first listen (the part you pointed out about the build up of the melodic scale). Thanks! Going to see her again tonight in Amsterdam and will listen out for this :)
You’re lucky!!! The build up part actually goes throughout which I didn’t speak about or pick up because it’s so subliminal. It’s actually the first thing we hear in the whole song. So compositionally, they used that as a part of the vocal melody (pre-chorus) to solidify it and make it a part which you can remember quite well. There are some other smart compositional tricks I didn’t explore as well which I’m just thinking about now as typing this
The way they play on her North African roots is sheer genius. It's still growing on me after no idea how many listens and I keep hearing new stuff without even trying. 💞 People seem to be actively looking for reasons to discredit her.
Great analysis. Interesting to have someone analyse the different parts that holds it together. Subliminally we probably like these small melodies that re-appear in new songs again.
Love how ppl bring up copying w loreen but not any of the other contestants. Finland and norway both heavily took inspos from songs. Limited chords and combos lead to that.
There was fault in the lights/smoke at that performance, it was a much larger stadium than before, and yes the song gets better and better... STILL GREAT BY LOREEN!
I definitely wouldn't think there would be a copyright issue, but it _is_ a bit distracting because I keep expecting it to morph into a cover of The Winner Takes It All somehow xD It doesn't help that I just watched Mamma Mia with my family a few weeks ago
I didn't like this at first. Had SO high expectations because of Euphoria being the best song to ever win ESC. Got disappointed the first time I heard and saw Tattoo. But it started growing and I started loving it after listening to it like 3-4 times. I like the build up and all the feelings that she express with both voice and body. Would love to see a reaction of Euphoria, the first song she won with. That's all about voice, movement, feeling and simplicity. There aren't many reactions since it won before reactions was a thing.
You understand that as a Swede I get tears in my eyes when I see this. I shudder all over when she takes those high notes. The ending is fantastic. Loreen, you make me so proud to be Swedish. 😍
No, I did too! Especially when it comes up on my Spotify list. I'm certain every time on the first notes that "oh this is frozen, oh noo-waiiit, right, loreen". Funny how you noticed it as well.
It's really a mix of plagiarisms : Abba's Winnner takes it all, Mika Newton's V plenu e Madonna's Frozen....maybe just the o-o-o is original.....or maybe not ? 🤣 But mixed, executed produced and sung extraordinary well.
I could be well off here but this song, particularly the pre-chorus, reminds me of Adele’s Easy on Me. Obviously completely different genre but that’s just stuck with me
Ohh I didn’t even think about that! It’s almost exactly the same melodically! And that’s pretty much the basis of the song: So I guess: Verse and chorus - winner takes it all, Abba Pre-chorus and introduction and pretty much everything that’s happening in the accompaniment - Easy on Me, Adele Very good observation!
@@TheMuserResolute Very small similarities, if you want to find similar parts of songs that way, you can do it on almost anything. If you set up a live performance with these next to each other, it will be a very different experience.
When you played the piano, the song I heard was "I'll stand by you" from the Pretenders ("You're feeling all alone. You won't be on your own"). This is the first year I've seen Eurovision available here in the USA, so this is my first time watching it, and I'm coming in without knowing anything about the competition, it's history or the competetors (I don't know, nor do I believe I've heard Loreen before)....with that said, hearing this during the semi-finals, this was one of my least favorite songs; it feels sort of basic, and done before and the visual portion of the song wasn't interesting at all (to me)...it didn't grab my attention and I couldn't believe it got sent to the finals, and I really couldn't understand why so many countries gave it 12 points, nor could I understand how it won compared to the other amazing entries. Your video helps me understand a little bit that perhaps because of her history in previous Eurovisions, there was some bais towards her. I know my tastes can differ from others, so maybe people really do like this, but it just didn't impress me at all. TLDR; it was Meh
I loved her previous song Euphoria and that's why I got really disappointed when first hearing Tattoo. That's always the risk when you've done something extraordinary. Tattoo started growing after i've been listening some times. She competed in Swedish Melodifestivalen another year and didn't reach ESC so I really don't think that people vote because of her old performance. Look at Euphoria, her first winning song. That was perfection ❤
@@Pr1ck4chu Thanks for the recommendation; I watched the Eurovision Euphoria video; I agree that I liked Euphoria better than Tattoo, it didn't captivate me, but I could see it being included in a background playlist for driving or working. I thought the choreography for the Euphoria Eurovision entry was silly...weird arm movements and MC Hammer movements across the stage.
@@EricZierdt Well, get what you mean, but I really like it actually. It's not like any other number, everyone was doubting her because of the simplicity of the act. That's not very ESC. But she won with the highest point ever achieved through the ESC history, people loved how she could own the stage with only her presence :) I think the strange movement actually compliments the song. It's incredible that she can move that much and sing so good at the same time :) She's some kind of spiritual yoga blablabla (that's shit that I don't understand so I don't know how to describe it correctly). The moves are from yoga and some martial arts. Have you been looking at old ESC winners or are you "taking it from here"? :) I think it's really fun that there's a lot of Americans that has started to follow ESC.
When me and wife listen this singing my minds were: "I hear it before", it was truth: 4 songs were used to generate this plagiarism music from: Pont Aeri - Flying Free, Mika Newton. Singing style from here 2012 song with the same style and ABBA. Specialists may start to say that one minor, another major - all this is bullshit, it sounds like old songs for the average listener. Nothing new, such performers should not be allowed. It's a shame that this song was missed by the organizers and it also won!
Loved your analysis.. And you did it very professionally. Thank you. A lot of people on youtube in our community I find are taking a piss at her. Because they dislike the fact that Sweden might win. Some also completely ignore the song and some don't want to admit how strong the song is .
For me and a lot of ppl it’s simply a boring song. Ppl like it ‘cos she’s the Queen of ESC’ . Ppl dislike it cos they don’t care that it’s Loren and simply find the song screaming and too much Euphoria-style.
Interesting reaction - thank you! And particularly for the thoughts about the intro, as I have been wondering a long time about why it sounds so incredibly familiar. Anyway, Tattoo is a good song. And that is it for me - unfortunately. Personally, I feel that the song never reaches the hights I was expecting, i.e. the progression falls somewhat short.
The song is good and I understand why it won, but I keep wondering if it would’ve also won if sung and performed the exact same way by an unknown swedish singer. (Yes, apparently questioning things I’ll never find the answer to is what I’m doing with my life now)
I think the answer is in the books. I mean in the bookies' books. As soon as Loreen was announced to represent Sweeden, she became the favourite immediately. Before anyone knew how she would perform actually.
You being Australian and all -- could you please please react to your ESC contribution from last year with Sheldon Riley? I'm a HUGE esc nerd, and his contribution is one of my favourites ever, and that's saying a lot. From what I understand he's famous from a lot of TV programs like The Voice? over there, so it might be an everyday artist for you, but over here it's fresh and, well... lovely. I'm sorry for spamming your comment section, but I'm so fired up, haha. Ps. Preferably the "official music video" by him, that is still live.
All good! Thanks for watching and commenting. Sheldon is a great vocalist and sings with such emotion. I wasn’t such a big fan of the song unfortunately 😔
@@TheMuserResolute I can imagine you're used to seeing him on regular TV/in articles over there? At least for me, his performance is very unique. :3 I do have another ESC contribution I love as much as his, it's Austria, though, that would be interesting to see you react to, as a music teacher. It's Switzerland's artist that is called Gjon's Tears from 2020 and 2021. He's one of those who simgs HIGH notes, ballad style. Would be cool to what you think about it. :3
@@johnny5240 I'd assume he feels it sucks that he didn't have more to explain at the time of recording because he's found more details in the song since.
@@_Kiren_ Hope we find out here in the comments. Because Loreen doesn't suck, I hope ;) As a Swede, I just want to stand in front of her and protect her from anything that could possibly be negative. 😅
It's called a Homage! It's not even meant to be a sneaky secret and I'm not surprise that people don't find it obvious, and that most people reacting negative to it does so after watching or hearing someone else informing them about it. There is nothing wrong with an homage, but let me point you in a direction to earlier years since there have been some completely shamefull years because they voted out a song that could have won the whole Eurovision. Insider people tells me that they did it on purpose because (Swedish television) SVT, Svensk Television couldn't afford to host the Eurovision, something they would have had to do the following year, if they won a year prior, so they back stabbed the clear winner. For anyone's curiosity it was a rock song called Runaways which was voted out straight away already without any competition what so ever, it didn't even make it to semi final in Sweden which says a lot. To anyone curious, here it was... already forgotten to time. It deserves it's own video! ruclips.net/video/SRhCWtfobw4/видео.html
think it was a group called PONT AERI - flying free that she was accused of stealing from, though it seemed to be the intro, rest is abba and god knows what else
The song that is accused of copyrighting is this one: ruclips.net/video/NgeyaExdZ-k/видео.html But I think the progression is too logic and could have been chosen without copyrighting this song.
Calculated, done a million times before, delegation of professional song-writers behind it, mega-budget... Vs. Käärijä with 600€ initial budget for the performance in the Finnish qualification, singing in Finnish, home-made - and he was the most popular, 50% more of public votes than Sweden; The true winner
Can't believe this actually won. The music for the Finnish and Norwegian songs was better by far in my opinion. But I guess music is very subjective...
I heard all the songs (except for the one from my country) for the first time at the final and this really didn't stuck after hearing it once. For the "maybe someone who worked on ABBA" part for the melody. Unlikely, Benny and Björn write the music themselves and we'd surely know if they were on the team.
There was a ukrainian girl who accused this song to be plagiat sounds just like hers. I didnt think so when i listened to her song. I dont remember her name try see if you can find it here and see yourselves.
You're an Aussie? When a friend of mine got home from Sydney after recording an album with the producer of Savage Garden (never mind. It didn't go nowhere...) she brought back "Addicted to Bass" by Puretone. Man, am I killing that tune at the local karaoke bar! ruclips.net/video/DZE6CMm_I8Y/видео.html
Thank you for the musical insight, you could point out very well why I found this song extremely boring. Must be those simple 3-note mini patterns that took over everything, sometimes being hidden in the background, sometimes pushed into your face in a sequence, but it's always the same 3-note pattern. For me, it's like a pink sitcom or romcom film, where you can predict all the characters and their next movements and the whole story runs out to a common banal happy ending.
Yeh, try to tear her down , she is the winner in the end.. And She is communicating the godess she is Allat trapped in matter , in Kaba , but she is marrying the humanity in a hieros gamos, to prepare fot a shift in human mentality preparing us for leaving the planet, to live on other planets she is Ashera , Athiva , the grail Isis , and fully human and as a human she is limited as godess she is not, the matter matter in the matter. .
Ok.. I need to listen with this in mind! Thank you. I should really have heard that considering Frozen is probably unambiguously Madonna’s best song and I genuinely like it! I’ll investigate this further!
It's a fine song. The only thing that is annoying about it to me is the lyrics. Isn't 'It will come a day' and 'I don't care about them all' kind of bad/awkward English?
That makes no difference for the song itself he’s reviewing.For him it’s not abt the performance but the song itself. At ESC we now see NO SMOKE used at all
Hi. Sorry, but I absolutely don't like this speech and the song too. There is neither music, nor drive, variety, it is a very monotonous song. She only screams. Sorry for my English ❤🙏
amazing artist, and not even a question on why she won! People being stuck up about that chachacha didn't win, which honestly was one of my LEAST favorite songs
Ahh, I see now. Chacha didn't deserve to win, because that was YOUR least favourite? Nice. How about people feeling cheated after paying for their votes but voting didn't count (as turned out later) because the jury gave Loreen ESC history's biggest headstart?
O problema é que não é uma música original como tem de ser neste concurso. Nada com a música e menos ainda com a performance da cantora.😊 Não existe credibilidade nenhuma nesta Eurovision Contest! Very Sorry.
4:52 this bit is just bliss to my brain.
Its my favourite bit of the song because its built and built to such a powerful, visceral pay off.

I heard all the songs (except for the one from my country) for the first time at the final and this really didn't stuck after hearing it once.
For the "maybe someone who worked on ABBA" part for the melody. Unlikely, Benny and Björn write the music themselves and we'd surely know if they were on the team.
maybe its just the "sweden'' sound....😆😆😆 the brigde is a bit of Madonna's ''frozen'' to
4:30 Madonna "frozen"?
It was my favorite from the contest when I watched it, last saturday. The "Cha Cha Cha" one from Filand really didn't appeal to me AT ALL
There was a ukrainian girl who accused this song to be plagiat sounds just like hers. I didnt think so when i listened to her song. I dont remember her name try see if you can find it here and see yourselves.
ruclips.net/video/zs9dpJDci9g/видео.html says its plagiat.
Mika Newton: U Plenu. The melody of the chorus is note-by-note copied.
Finland for the win !
Also the opening first sound thing 0:30 is from another old hit, and singer’s melody is from Abba. No originality at all!!!
You're an Aussie?
When a friend of mine got home from Sydney after recording an album with the producer of Savage Garden (never mind. It didn't go nowhere...) she brought back "Addicted to Bass" by Puretone.
Man, am I killing that tune at the local karaoke bar!

One of the best songs to come out of the 90s!
Thank you for the musical insight, you could point out very well why I found this song extremely boring. Must be those simple 3-note mini patterns that took over everything, sometimes being hidden in the background, sometimes pushed into your face in a sequence, but it's always the same 3-note pattern. For me, it's like a pink sitcom or romcom film, where you can predict all the characters and their next movements and the whole story runs out to a common banal happy ending.
Yeh, try to tear her down , she is the winner in the end.. And She is communicating the godess she is Allat trapped in matter , in Kaba , but she is marrying the humanity in a hieros gamos, to prepare fot a shift in human mentality preparing us for leaving the planet, to live on other planets she is Ashera , Athiva , the grail Isis , and fully human and as a human she is limited as godess she is not, the matter matter in the matter. .
I think this sounds like a lame version of her winning song Euphoria
Like it's not bad at all but too similar in my opinion
It's so so so similar to a Ukrainian artist's song! Either plagiarised or anazibg coincidence
I do really like this song but how about the instrumental breakdown being a rip off of Frozen by Madonna?
Ok.. I need to listen with this in mind! Thank you. I should really have heard that considering Frozen is probably unambiguously Madonna’s best song and I genuinely like it! I’ll investigate this further!
Esta melodia é de 2006.
Her first song more so
She 's connected with God! Blessings from Belgium.
It's a fine song. The only thing that is annoying about it to me is the lyrics. Isn't 'It will come a day' and 'I don't care about them all' kind of bad/awkward English?
Stop digging
enjoy the moment
It's a great song but not necessarily a winner - in comparison to the rest of the songs
Loreen is a great performer but the song rotates around a single melodic idea and ends by being boring. Exactly like last year's entry.
she won, keep crying

Rip you choose the worst video performance of the fog taking over the clip… Her official music video is literally her best live performance.
I recognised 😭 absolutely RIP
@@TheMuserResolute it’s fine, great that you discovered that in the end though
That makes no difference for the song itself he’s reviewing.For him it’s not abt the performance but the song itself. At ESC we now see NO SMOKE used at all
It sounds the same cause in this genre really anything sounds the same
not in tune on high notes
Like an aerobic workout. Very very boring.
you are right the melody is a rip of Abba.
This is a good song and this is a very bad opponent ot Finland, Käärijä...
Swedens Queen 🥰❤
there must be something lighter than that structure above her...
Well, you look like my son, supercute
We won! 🎉🎉🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
Hi. Sorry, but I absolutely don't like this speech and the song too. There is neither music, nor drive, variety, it is a very monotonous song. She only screams.
Sorry for my English ❤🙏
For me this song was flat
Finland is so much better. This is terrible act.. 👎
amazing artist, and not even a question on why she won! People being stuck up about that chachacha didn't win, which honestly was one of my LEAST favorite songs
Ahh, I see now. Chacha didn't deserve to win, because that was YOUR least favourite? Nice. How about people feeling cheated after paying for their votes but voting didn't count (as turned out later) because the jury gave Loreen ESC history's biggest headstart?
I need Finland to win, otherwise I die
I died
@@misssalome4795 rip, Im happy though😜😜🇸🇪🇸🇪
Bad and boring song. Pathetic lyrics. I miss Abba so much!
O problema é que não é uma música original como tem de ser neste concurso.
Nada com a música e menos ainda com a performance da cantora.😊
Não existe credibilidade nenhuma nesta Eurovision Contest! Very Sorry.
Do not wash or trim your hair, grow nails for 10 years and wear industrial beige - a sure winner for Eurovision song contest!
