Iceland 2021. Norway 2022. Finland 2023.

What do they have in common? Yes, FUN! Colours! Catchy! A sense of humour! Silly dancing! Originality!

And Sweden? No, absolutely not. We've been sending boring generic pop for so long, if any of these entries were in our selection process, they've would've (outrageously!) not been selected.

Next year, please send HOOJA! 😂 I'm not even a massive fan, but I crave something silly. It doesn't have to rank well, just send it and redeem us. In Swedish, please, rapping in a northern Swedish/slightly Finnish accent. Be less serious, I beg you. It's getting pretentious.

Your discussion of Sweden yesterday was so interesting to me. I’m a eurovision fan from outside Europe so I was never sure how people actually like Sweden. But I am a musician and musicologist, and Sweden removed from EV is essentially a pop songwriting factory which… some pop songs work in Eurovision, some Eurovision songs work as pop songs but a lot don’t. I’ve actually made it into a verb: “Swedening it up” when someone does just as straight up basic pop song. I’m excited to hear quite a few people talk highly of Finland’s song this year though as I have been a Finland fan since I started following EV.

First of all, thank you so so much for supporting Finland 🥺🖤 This year feels even more like an alternative reality than 2021 with people loving our entry, saying it's a sure qualifier and a contender to win the televote. Finland? Being a fan favourite? Doing well? It's so surreal, heartwarming and almost overwhelming 😭😭

As for our neighbour, Swedening it up is a great term 😄 Sweden has learned that the best recipe is to combine a catchy pop song with a charismatic performed, throw in a stage prop nobody else has and voilà, top-10 guaranteed.

I’ve heard Eurovision fans talking about the whole contest Swedifying, not only because Sweden tends to get great results, but has a say in the rules and conventions of Eurovision itself (pre-decided running order came to action in 2013 and current voting system in 2016 – both when Sweden hosted). I’m not a music professional by any stretch of imagination, but Sweden’s reputation as the (hit) pop songwriting factory has also strongly influenced the diversity of the entries we get in Eurovision, and many fans including myself are not keen on that.

Just to give one example, in Eurovision 2017 seven entries were partly or entirely written by Swedish people. Those were of course Sweden, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Ireland, North Macedonia and Serbia. The last three were written by the same person, Joacim Bo Persson. Sweden’s songwriting legend Thomas G:son has reached Eurovision 13 times, for seven different countries, and competed against himself in 2007 (Norway & Spain), 2012 (Sweden & Spain), 2015 (Georgia & Spain) and 2016 (Georgia & Cyprus). Some people see using Swedish songwriters as a guarantee of quality, some see it making the contest more boring. I’m with the latter. For me Eurovision is about showing and promoting the songwriting, staging, styling and performing abilities of ones own country with preferably some local flavour thrown in as well. Same songwriters competing for multiple countries in a continent-wide competition just feels wrong and unfair, and I wish more of those had faith in their music industry instead of going the safe and predictable Swedish popfactory route (looking at Malta, Azerbaijan and Cyprus).

In fairness we must bring up that not all of the most prominent Eurovision writers are Swedish. We have the likes of: - Ralph Siegel from Germany, who has made it to Eurovision astounding 24 times for five different countries and competed against himself in 1980 (Luxembourg & Germany) - Boris Milanov from Bulgaria who has made it to Eurovision 12 times for seven different countries and competed against himself in 2017 (North Macedonia & Serbia), 2019 (Azerbaijan & Malta) and 2020 (Bulgaria, Germany and Malta). - Philipp Kirkorov from Russia, who made it to Eurovision nine times for four different countries (but never competed against himself 😕)

#Euphoria was written by Thomas G:son and Peter Boström #guess who wrote Tattoo this year 😊#*chuckles* we're in danger #and before someone points out Sweden's results in 2013 and 2021: Robin didn't have a prop and Tusse couldn't sing #asks #eurovision #sweden #finland #2023 #eurovision song contest #esc

KNACKNINGAR (2021) dir. Frida Kempff After suffering a traumatic incident, Molly moves into a new apartment to begin her path to recovery, but it's not long after her arrival that a series of persistent knocks and screams begin to wake her up at night. Molly's new life begins to unravel as the screams intensify and no one else in the building believes or is willing to help her. (link in title)

I see people on tumblr and reddit overwhelmingly think that Tattoo is mediocre and overhyped and I’m like “but if every person I see says it’s mediocre and overhyped, how is it overhyped??” but then I watch youtube ranking videos and like all of them put Tattoo first and I’m like “ok, fair”

#eurovision #ok so I am Swedish so I might be biased #but in my opinion #it is a pretty mediocre song on its own #(and not the type of music I like to listen to)#but Loreen brings a lot of emotions and 'that special something' to it #making it more of an experience #but even with my Swedish bias were I to make a top 10 it would not be on it #also even though I tend to agree with people thinking Sweden #generally gets too good results for what we send #it still gets a bit tiring to constantly see people saying we're overhyped #(and also just be blatantly wrong sometimes #like saying the televote hates us?#like yes the jury tends to rank us higher than the televote #but except from 2008 we would always have qualified by televote alone?#*for #and these last years #with the exception of 2018 #(and 2021 where the jury also ranked us lower)#we have done well in the televote too #not as well but you know. well)#(also I will not tolerate Cornelia slander #her song was great as was her performance #she deserved her fourth place)

Pls how did you find the dms? No links or anything

I searched “Chris Evans” on tumblr and someone had posted a video of the dms. But tbh don’t even waste your time bc the tea is not even hot, it’s not even lukewarm, who knows if it’s even real bc the girl who he apparently dmed said it wasn’t real 😂😂😂😂

#and the dms aren’t even spicy #he’s just like “omg you’re stalking me!1!1’#and she’s like ‘omg sorry I thought I was stalking discreetly!1!1’#then he’s like ‘so where in the world are you stalking me from?😏’#and she said ‘Sweden’#ALXNSKXNSKSKA THAT WAS IT #I mean there was more but we couldn’t see it #so really it’s nothing to be excited about lmfaooo #lukewarm tea at best but most likely fake tea #also from 2021 so that’s AGES ago
