Sweden - worst winner since Estonia 2001?

[Deleted User] · 26/05/12 - 22:57

I think so.

[Deleted User] · 26/05/12 - 23:01

Worst ever.

marianner · 26/05/12 - 23:15

I'm Swedish so I should love this song, well according to other Swedes I should...but I just don't like it.
I don't know why.

aisey · 26/05/12 - 23:16

I'm sure we'll all sleep soundly now.

Not the worst, but certainly not the best. I think it just struck a chord with European music fans that we probably don't 'get' in this country.

I never understand how europe is so stuck in the past when it comes to music.

Oh I liked the Estonian winner a few years back. Catchy song and he was cute.

AdzPower · 26/05/12 - 23:27

Seriously? Its the BEST winning song in years!

Ashfield22121 · 26/05/12 - 23:28

I thought it was amazing

Best winning song since "Fairytale"

The UK were always going to do shit in first position.

Oh well at least Katy Perry will be pleased cos if that chorus wasn't a direct lift from firework, I'll eat my hat.

Sweden deserved to win. Good entry and the good thing is they can afford to host it next year.

starry · 26/05/12 - 23:30

Lena was worse. But most Eurovision winners are pretty bad, particularly in modern times.

Maybe some people didnt get it.

But we gave it 12 points. So either we don't get any of the songs

Or there has been an error in the voting !

Eurodance is very big all over Europe, actually for me the biggest voting surprise was Italy not giving Sweden any points, the Italians like a bit of Trance.

Of course a lot of the other votes could have been predicted as always.

The UK gave it 12 points so I think we "get it"

Really? Have you looked at UK, US, Australian etc music charts? This could easily be a number one single in all those places! Sounds similar to a David Guetta number and the type of music which is very popular here and in other Western nations - we gave it 12 over the popular Jedward so this shows how big this type of music is!

[Deleted User] · 26/05/12 - 23:32

I think the song is great and it has been stuck in my head all night. I keep singing it all the time!

My thoughts exactly. Since we gave it a 12 along with the rest of europe we're really not all that different.

Vodka_Drinka · 26/05/12 - 23:33

I liked it and I liked the Estonia song that won in 2001 as well. The worst song to win in recent years was Serbian winner from 2007, tuneless, depressing drivel.

The Swedish song sounded so current, I could easily imagine Radio 1, Capital etc playing it.

starry · 26/05/12 - 23:34

Wrong, not everywhere gave it a 12, at least speak the truth.

[Deleted User] · 26/05/12 - 23:35

I liked the song actually.

If Sweden are the worst winners, the UK are the undisputed worst losers. Quite whining and suck it up people.

Noiseboy · 26/05/12 - 23:35

Someone help me - the backing is identical to a big chart hit a few years ago but I can't place it. Anyone?

elasticlove · 26/05/12 - 23:36

I really loved the song!

MARTYM8 · 26/05/12 - 23:37

I can see why it won even though I wasn't a fan.

The juries probably orgasmed over it - and it probably won the televote (although its possible the Russian grannies did and got nowhere with the juries so a lot of their televote 12s became 6 or less with the jury vote added on).

Hey there!
