Melodifestivalen 2024: Grand Final (Stockholm)

[C’est la VoR]

 

[Soldi Elektronike]

Good draws for Jacqline and Medina

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

COME ON BRACKIE!!!!

 

[TiShh]

Actually passed away slightly at M&M getting stuck awkwardly in the middle and Ar Jacq getting that good draw. Could it BE?

(liamooos nothing song at 10th is worrying me slightly though)

 

[C’est la VoR]

Despite the odds massively favouring M&M, I do think it's quite an open final. Could see a world where any of M&M, Danny, Jacqline or Dotter took it.

(Think Medina's chances got smashed tonight when it became clear older demos would vote them down as well as the juries)

 

[ADONK5]

They're still trying to push Danny then?

 

[FetchFugly]

Slightly surprised at Danny getting the closing slot rather than Medina.

 

[ButterTart]

The cruelty of following Unforgettable with the most forgettable song of the year

 

[ButterTart]

Anyway, I've spent the last eight hours designing the banner I'll be taking with me on Saturday which features all of the acts I'll be supporting on the night.

Spoiler: Banner

Is it too early to start Moopyfestivalen 2024 already next week btw? I'm happy to run most the heats this year if someone wants to take the relay for possibly Heat 5, the Run-Off Round and Final.

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

Yes we need the CORRECT RESULTS ASAP.

Go ahead!

 

[C’est la VoR]

I actually really like Danny's song in studio form

 

[C’est la VoR]

I don't think it's particularly likely to happen, but given the pileup of uptempos we're expecting this year, Dotter would absolutely be the wisest choice Sweden could make to stand out a bit.

 

[Ill Advised]

I’m Team Dotter

Or Jacqline

 

[Ill Advised]

Just need a healthy sounding Dotter performance in the bag now

 

[HalamaK]

 

[Una Kratz Per San Marino]

I’m really disappointed in myself.

I love ‘When I’m Gone’ now

MARIA UP!

On the other hand I had it in my head while failing to sleep ALL BLOODY NIGHT so I'm slightly cooling on it right now.

Just put out an episode covering this year if anyone's interested!

Same - I think it was @Pingu who was explaining to me that it does that thing where the melody is never resolved? Either way, it sounds like minor key to me and adds another depth to it

 

[Soldi Elektronike]

?!

 

[RobBot]

I'm ALL for my pop girlies, but I honestly think Marcus & Martinus's song is the only "ooh" moment that makes you actually want to vote. Staging and song-wise, it's probably the best.

Effortless is a stomper of a studio track but I kinda feel like it lacks a live ~moment, so to speak. That being said, they quite clearly gave all the budget to Marcus & Martinus as they're the only one with above decent staging, so is it any wonder that it feels like such a foregone conclusion?

 

[C’est la VoR]

 

[Kaleen]

Does anyone have any stats comparing chart positions and streams etc to actual points received from the public over the last few years?

It feels like we’re obsessing over two things which are completely different metrics. I doubt many people over the age of 45 are streaming lots. Which is 3 of the voting groups. Plus the telephone group which is skewed towards the older groups anyway.

 

[Pingu]

I don’t think anyone is obsessing over it. We all know it doesn’t count for everything, but it’s also not nothing either.

 

[dUbrodošli]

I can’t stop thinking about Danny’s artificial Marigolds

 

[ButterTart]

So far on my first night in Sweden:
I’ve watched Keiinoo have a meal
I’ve seen Elisa and Scarlet perform live
I’ve seen Sanna mime the bollocks off her greatest hits
I’ve danced next to Caroline Af Ugglas who was absolutely arse about face and had her trousers around her ankles the entire time
I’ve seen the Malta 2011 bloke flanked by undiscerning homosexuals and clearly just planning to fire into anything he can get his hands on
I’ve realised her from Gate is quite fit after walking right past her

 

[Say Sheena-na-na]

Having not watched live since week 1, have they sorted out streaming from the app yet, or am I going to still have to do mirroring off my Mac tonight? (Which last time was upside down and I just gave up...)

 

[C’est la VoR]

What a time to be alive

 

[auretz]

Not only that, but there were so many excellent entries that got lost in the semis too - Hela natten, Red, Love Trigger, Ta mig, Aleo, När änglarna går hem... and we were still a year away from mankind's crowning glory in "Make Me (La La La)"

 

[Una Kratz Per San Marino]

Just call me a SURVIVOR!

 

[C’est la VoR]

Make Me (La La La) walked so Kaleen could RAVE!

 

[auretz]

International juries for tonight:

Serbia
Iceland
Belgium
Malta
Australia
Ireland
Cyprus
Germany

 

[THEY CALL ME GAJA]

I have made a last-minute allegiance shift to DANNY.

The lyrics combined with the minor key tick all of my melancholic Scandinavian boxes, and his dedication to acting like Loreen with his nonchalance about the competition and SPIRITUALISM - even a performance where he has arrived at HEAVEN’S GATE make this a conceptina I just can’t deny anymore.

BEAM ME UP, TELETUBBY

[Pingu]

It’s in major but ok there are worse choices.
