Sweden is gonna flop with the public in years to come. If there will be a voting system change in favor of televote, Swden isn't cracking top 5 anytime soon.

Their Ireland era is coming

I agree, there will be a lot of casual fans upset at the result this year that’ll be less likely to vote for them.  I wonder if jurors will also start to not reward them as convincingly due to the backlash as well?

If juries drop them too, they can say goodbye to top 10 entries  Watch them be a NQ in 2025, whew

yes, Kaarija did a great job and got Finland its second-ever Top 5 result since they've started competing in 1961, the first being Lordi's win in 2006. they are usually overlooked in the contest, which I think is partially why the "backlash" this year is loud.

 

my Eurovision wishes for the next 10 or so years:

- Cyprus scores first win

- Iceland scores first win (2020 was really between Italy, Russia and Iceland imo)

- Lithuania scores first win or first Top 3 (The Roop and two Monikas have been GREAT)

- Armenia scores first win or first Top 3

- Sweden breaks the tie with Ireland with their 8th win

I'd like to see all that + another Balkan country winning

I just want them + other notable Eastern countries to return at this point 

North Macedonia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Bulgaria, Turkey, Hungary, Slovakia

Kosovo participation too if Serbs can chill out and unify by music or whateva

Because Loreen didn’t just receive 2nd most televotes with 243 points this year?

Hold Me Closer was easily their best entry since Euphoria, but for the reasons mentioned above - GP won't be here for Sweden no matter what they send!

 

I just hope Loreen rises above all this, because the gp kinda dislikes her now  

[bjorn]

Slayed the welcoming performance in Stockholm 

 

haters can choke

Because of what happened in the end. I'm sure most of people didn't dislike Tattoo in the first place, but after jury pushing it to win - GP switched like f-words.

 

Also, why are Loreen stans so defensive?  I literally traveled to Sweden to watch the queen win Melodifestivalen, yet y'all quote me as if I'm one of her haters simply because I'm realistic about the current situation

I heard of Eleni back in 2012 and I used to (and still do) watch her MAD VMA performances every year. I was so glad when she finally managed to be selected after wanting to be for so long  She is and remains that girl.

angry Redditors and ATRLers dislike her maybe.  the gp voted for her overwhelmingly, Sweden's best televote placement since 2012 when she last won. the song is smashing on the charts and streaming services

It's not just Redditors or ATRLers though. I'm still yet to talk to a person who thinks she deservedly won. Unfortunately, GP can't focus their anger at EBU so they got nasty with Loreen, who won fair and square.

You haven't been to TikTok I see

UK midweek:

 

#3 Tattoo (Euphoria peaked at #3 in the UK so hopefully Tattoo can hold on to #3 at least)

#7 I Wrote a Song

#11 Cha Cha Cha

#12 Queen of the Kings

I think Tattoo and Cha x3 will both be higher by the end of the week as they’re #1 and #2 on Spotify for 2 days now and have a good lead over #3

The people I was watching with think she deserved to win. I’m actually surprised by some of the reactions here.

My theory is that Tattoo is too polished for Balkan countries. I've been showing people this years entries since March and only two of them liked it. The rest were very meh about it, so I'm not shocked by locals going hard for Finland.

[Duanielipa]

Cha Cha Cha received more streams than Tattoo the winner, surprised?
