Last time something like this won Eurovision must have been "Ein bißchen Frieden" for Germany in 1982. Everyone knows including her and the people putting her in the contest, that this isn't going to win, or even qualify, in Melodifestivalen, It's nice, pleasant and cute and that's it. One must always remember that it's not 30 songs in Melodifestivalen that's like "In it to win it", a lot are just there to get a platform to a wider audience, and they're there to get a mix and variety of song genres. I know a lot of international viewers don't always get that and are like "Is this the best you got?", and don't really understanding Melodifestivalen, thinking it's just a selection show for Eurovison. It's so much more than that, it's a show of it's own, and it's about gathering all ages, and having something for the 3 year old as well as great grandma, like a smörgåsbord. This came last in all the different age groups using the app, only those calling in gave it a second to last place.
Let alone last time we sent something akin to this we didn't even qualify for the final. Obviously as hosts we will be in the final this year, but we take Eurovision way to seriously to not send something we feel have a great shot at doing well as a top 5 song at a bare minimum. Sometimes we do well, sometimes we place outside top 15, sometimes we hit the bulls eye and win the whole dang thing. And that's just how Sweden roll in Eurovision.
@@lightwalker7123 And Anna was far better than this singer I must say. So that says a little how little impression this kind of songs do in a field of all kind of songs. But I do think there are some that could do really well. But it has to be world class to do that.
@@lightwalker7123 "sometimes we place outside top 15" it's been 14 years since Bergendahl didn't qualify, and 15 years since Sweden was in the final, but outside the top 15. A lot of people watching Eurovision doesn't remember (or was too young to watch, or not even alive) back in 2005, 2007, 2008 and 2009 when Sweden ended up in places 18-21, just because we wanted to send something "different". I think that a lot of Swedes voting in Melodifestivalen _doesn't_ think one bit about Eurovision, or sending something that they think will do well, but just vote for someone they like to win. Like we almost sent Anders Bagge with a dated boring song in 2022, instead of Cornelia, with one of the best songs we ever sent to Eurovision, imho, just because he's such a beloved TV-personality. We would've been out in the semis then, for sure. So thankful that we have international juries in Melodifestivalen that saved us from that!
Just a heads up if you have not experienced it yet. If the song is still competing (as in it will go to Semi-finals or straight to finals) it will be up on RUclips for 1 week and then taken down. This is according to Melodifestivalen rules. Seen other Reactors comment that Melodifestivalen sent takedown notices or warnings because if songs are allowed to be up and listened to longer than others it could be unfair advantage for those in Quarter Final 1 over those in Quarter Final 4. So I think you can react to them but don't upload until you know that a song is voted out of the contest! Just to save you some hassle with claims and other issues with uploads! =)
You should watch Björn Gustafsson, a comedian who became famous after his comedy bits in melodifestivalen 2008. He made a comeback to melodifestivalen for the first time since 2008 and it was absolutely hilarious, the crowd still loves him!
Then you should check out the Norwegian Melody Grand Prix 2024 winner Gåte - Ulveham. Dark folklore sounds with heavy metal beats and a good singer having vocals and telling a 1000 year old norse story.
This has nothing to do with melodifestivalen or esc but one song i really love and find so beautiful is av längtan till dig with Kajsa Stina Åkerström. It's really beautiful and you feel she means every word
The best thing about Melodifestivalen is the interludes "mellanakterna". ruclips.net/video/jZNiqulM3ak/видео.html ruclips.net/video/V9fAohKBTcE/видео.html An intro ruclips.net/video/J8tDQe9FE4M/видео.html And when Månz and Petra made a parody of the entire Eurovision. ruclips.net/video/Cv6tgnx6jTQ/видео.html
I liked this song too, but I agree, it wouldn't win. The songs that did qualify for the final were the right ones. But there are four more qualifying rounds. A lot can happen.

It is a lovesong to her husband. You really feel what she sings even if you don't understand the swedish lyrics.
Acctually, for me this song was trasch. And i did see it live...

I remember 2010 Anna Bergendal, cute girl with a guitarr. Didn't go that well for Sweden that year.

I personally enjoyed this song the most of the 6🙂👍
This was my favourite, I understand not Eurovision material, but I hope to hear this A LOT.

Meh, he did the same thing as he did 15 years ago, and it went on and on and … I think it was too much.

Exactly my toughts, this song is to relaxing imo, for eurovision :)
However i rly liked this one.
She sound like Lisa Ekdahl at times. But I did not really like her performance on stage but the song was ok.
@@hurmur9528 I can hear the resemblance. I was accually thinking of Melissa Horn when i heard this song yesteterday ^^
@@GeneralPhebiX Ah of course. But then is should be more about broken love and despair. Love Melissa.
Same, I really liked this song too. It was different from 99% of the songs we hear on the radio every day.
The best thing about Melodifestivalen is the interludes "mellanakterna".

It’s very interesting seeing you reacting to the Melodifestivalen
I liked this song too, but I agree, it wouldn't win. The songs that did qualify for the final were the right ones. But there are four more qualifying rounds. A lot can happen.
Its not through. It finished 6th in the round 1
He knows that? That’s why he said we made the right decision
This is a song that should be played along whit a loved one not on a big stage
She’s NOT through!!!
He KNOWS THAT. He said that it *did not* win.
I dont understand what she sing
Nice song but didn’t make it. Understandable from my sight
Yes she would never have a chance in the big final but I still like it and hope that radio could more music like this.
*Promo sm* 😁
