March 12, 20169 yr It's such a bad, cvnty entry to be greeting everyone with on home soil as well. A song called 'If I Were Sorry' is going to, in the narrative, reek of arrogance that they're so good at Eurovision. I hope it falls flat on its face (it won't).
March 12, 20169 yr There's a picture on Twitter with Viktor in bed cuddled up to another man in his underwear with a nice case of morning wood *.* GET. THEM. VOTES. If that was to find its way into my inbox one wouldn't complain.....one may be rather thankful.
March 12, 20169 yr I csn see this being TOLERABLE by thr time of the actual contest. Indeed. But a Swedish entry shouldn't have to be going that far. It's not perhaps the worst of the genre I thought it was at first, but it's still not great.
March 12, 20169 yr Author Well, when it came to Frans vs Wiktoria, I was actually rooting for Frans, so there's that.

March 12, 20169 yr Well, when it came to Frans vs Wiktoria, I was actually rooting for Frans, so there's that. Statements like this make me glad Samir & Viktor came LAST
March 12, 20169 yr FLAWLESS winner, such an amazing song :heart: Is it too late to get you a dictionary for your birthday?
March 12, 20169 yr Indeed. But a Swedish entry shouldn't have to be going that far. It's not perhaps the worst of the genre I thought it was at first, but it's still not great. This is undoubtedly true, but when Robin and goat bitch are within the last handful (and a bit) of entries then you realise it CAN be worse.
March 12, 20169 yr Is it too late to get you a dictionary for your birthday? It wouldn't be as good a present as Frans winning MF :heart:
March 12, 20169 yr Very pleasing winner, on live performances tonight I think Oscar and Frans were the stand-outs so I'm glad they were both rewarded by the juries. It's such a fantastic grower, the production is very uplifting for me and I love the strings that come in about halfway through. The televoting was so so close, I predicted the app voting would make things close but not that close! Looks like the international juries will have big impacts on results in future years. The show was exceptionally produced, by far the highest quality final I've seen over the past few years. And I think we could be heading back to Sweden for Eurovision in 2017, we shall wait and see!
March 12, 20169 yr Final results if anyone missed some of them 01. Frans - If I Were Sorry 156 02. Oscar Zia - Human 132 03. Ace Wilder - Don't Worry 118 04. Wiktoria - Save Me 114 05. Robin Bengtsson - Constellation Prize 83 06. Molly Sandén - Youniverse 76 07. Lisa Ajax - My Heart Wants Me Dead 56 08. Panetoz - Håll om mig hårt 53 09. SaRaha - Kizunguzungu 47 10. Boris René - Put Your Love On Me 41 11. David Lindgren - We Are Your Tomorrow 39 12. Samir & Viktor - Bada nakna 31
March 12, 20169 yr I'm so pleased with the results overall, not just my favourite song winning. Oscar slaying, Ace also top 4 and Lisa avoiding the bottom 5!!!!! <3333
March 12, 20169 yr Myself and 3 mates watched it tonight (I'm slowly brainwashing others). Frans proved to be the most devisive - 2 loved it, 2 loathed it. Certainly the most devisive winner for some time. Given it was not exactly a runaway winner it was tipped to be, I wonder if it will thoroughly slay in May (it probably will...).

March 12, 20169 yr I'm sure Molly doesn't mind losing, in that she's got the ultimate constellation prize, her and Danny have got engaged :heart:
March 13, 20169 yr Hmm... it's good, but extremely uneventful. It's like some strange and bizarre remix of Leona's 'I Got You' and Bieber's 'Sorry'. Ah well, at least we know what Casey__ is up to nowadays!
March 13, 20169 yr Author Oh, for some reason, I didn't realise Wiktoria's points didn't push her above Ace, so Don't Worry actually came 3rd! What a success, genuinely thought this was going to bomb.
March 13, 20169 yr Author Something I've just read I think kinda accounts for a lot of why I think Frans got a lot of hype. Fresh from throwing Heroes a huge "gimic", a massive power ballad in Undo and the general feeling that Sweden throw EVERYTHING at Eurovision, they've got this option of a supposedly charismatic young lad who doesn't seem like he's desperate to hang onto Melodifestivalen fame like some of the returnees, with a simple song, simple staging. It'd have been successful if they'd thrown a bigger stage performance at it anyway but I think the simplicity of it all even down to Frans himself (who I found much more likeable last night, like he genuinely was taking in how much had changed in 3 weeks), in amongst a sea of Sweden's craziness is what really won it for him.
March 13, 20169 yr If that was to find its way into my inbox one wouldn't complain.....one may be rather thankful. Sent - someone mentioned this may have been from last year on Twitter as well, I don't recall however. I would enjoy this finding its way to me too please. I am glad it was a closer final than people were expecting, but when all the points were coming out very similar, I had a feeling it was going to go against what the majority on here thought. I would have preferred Human or Don't Worry (and probably 2 or 3 others), but I don't object to If I Were Sorry. Although I feel like it sounds under-produced and, the music might need a bit beefed up before May, to help Frans with his performance, as he won't get backing vocals on the track. I am also not surprised about S&V finishing with nothing from the juries. Something felt off during their song and I think that they won't return next year.
