Petra Mede's interlude song last time Sweden hosted was fantastic, which makes JT's drecks all the more miserable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I don't think he wants to. You never know how the Swedes vote when choosing which song to participate woth though. He might not win.

Celine Dion won in 1988 and she Canadian, Katrina and the Waves won in 1997 and she's American and the winner in 1971 was a French woman representing Monaco. You've never had to be from the country. OT I think it's a bad idea because the interval is supposed to be a showcase of your nation eg a native dance, style or music, local musician or theater production.

Bye 3,947 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Maybe Eurovision will be less of a farce. I'm glad to see the EBU isn't stuck to their old ways. Maybe the countries seeing Justin perform will actually realise they should start sending good songs that can stand the test of time for at least more than a couple of days.

Killa 17,490 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 If she did this her message would be lost, it's pretty clear LG5 wouldn't make no sense if it was debuted in such a manner. Even if her sound is very Eurovision trashy like. Eurovision is struggling with a problem every big company, event etc struggles more and more, you have to keep bringing more views, interest. The demand is always for more, more, or it's not a success. This is such a sad thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopThatArt 2,193 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Trying to steal the new performers spotlight? How arrogant. The spotlight should be on the performers who signed up for the contest not him. He had his days. Go see A Star is Born Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All SVT do is coming with suggestions for making the contest evolve and make it better, which EBU likes. They wouldn't make the decisions to change it if they didn't. Lose control. Let go and fall.

SVT only comes up with good suggestions I get that the EBU reference group is rubber stamping their approval of their decisions, but that doesn't mean another host would come up with these "good" ( ) decisions. Sweden is probably my favourite country ever, but in terms of Eurovision; their cost-cutting decisions (both in 2013 and 2016) and attempts to shape the contest around melodifestivalen aren't great (in my opinion anyway obviously). The added benefit of Sweden never winning again is Ireland keeps its record, and its peak and Riverdance is still far more impressive than any other nations' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
