This would be the best thing to happen to Melodifestivalen since... 2012 really. I don't think I could take another 2017 though!

Funhouse Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I saw Loreen perform Euphoria a few days ago (and earlier this year too) and it still absolutely hits live, but she does have a tendency to be drunk and/or messy at shows these days lol. If the rumour about her returning to Melfest is true I need her to get it together and bring her A game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mystery Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I actually love this change and getting the jury out of the semi final is a good decision. Rest of the world being weighted as only one country is a good way to balance that as well. People will be mad but I think this could be great.

Kummercell Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I really like the changes in the voting system Eurovision as a musical/visual event is much bigger than who wins in the end, so making SFs viewer-based only is a great way to ensure the grand final isn't filled with boring acts and the rest of the world counting as a single country in voting is a great way to make eurovision fans in non-participant countries like me feel included without effectively changing the results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POPTART Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I do like the change for the semi-final situations, where only public votes. Not sure how I feel about the non-participating countries being able to vote too. This is Eurovision after all and I don't think it would be fair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When she performed at Eurovision in Concert earlier this year she basically slurred her way through her songs and seemed kinda out of it when talking to the audience. She was also supposed to perform at the afterparty but never showed up. She did seem to be in better spirits at Het Grote Songfestivalfeest last week though.

Gogetonthebus Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I like non-participating countries getting to vote. It seems like it's more targeted at re-engaging countries that have dropped out and maintaining engagement with countries that are taking a year out. Since it only counts as one country, it shouldn't impact the final results. I love the SF voting change. The juries have been flops for years, and the ballad bias has gone too far. The vote coordinating scandal last year just gave them cover to finally chop them from consideration during the SFs. Going all the way back to 2014, we would have had a better Grand Final with just televote in the Semis. Verona would have qualified Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
