Sweden 2023: Loreen - Tattoo

[Penelope]

 

[Penelope]

Quite a good entry on balance I think

 

[Dark Carnival]

Yeah, I like this one. Nice odds for Sweden to make it to the final again

 

[ZenGiraffe]

It's the first semi though, might struggle to stand out.

 

[ButterTart]

Don’t remember this from the final but if they put a bit of effort into the staging it could do fairly well.

 

[Suomi]

Strange choice when Paul Rey was right there

 

[OutSynk]

I really think this could do well. Bookmark me.

 

[rhythmbandit]

As long she's not drowned in a sea of fog on the night, she has a chance.

 

[COB]

It's going to win

 

[Soldi]

I hope Rylan will also be in the crowd to celebrate her Eurovision win in two months time.

 

[Tetris-Rock]

It's the first semi though, might struggle to stand out.

There are enough bad takes on this forum that this simply isn’t tongue-in-cheek enough to KNOW you’re not being sincere.

Is just the same WRITHING AROUND she did 11 years ago with the added lethal crushing threat for a bit of spice really enough? That remains to be seen.

 

[Kratz]

I just don’t GET IT MYSELF

Now @Ill Advised - where do you keep your Dyson?

 

[Lucille]

I honestly worry for everyone’s mental health if this doesn’t win.

 

[Ill Advised]

What do you want with it!!

 

[Kratz]

What do you want with it!!

You tell me!

 

[Kratz]

[Ill Advised]

You tell me!

Something suction related?

 

[Alex]

When you said you were leaving
To work on your mental health …

 

[Penelope]

I do think everyone talking up Käärijä for the win is really just trying far too hard to be interesting.

How does that compare to each of their respective Eurovision entries?

 

[Penelope]

God poor Diljá. Couldn't even have home ground

 

[COB]

Is that to legends?

 

[Lucille]

 

[Dark Carnival]

 

[Apoca]

Mother SCOUTING the competition and VIBING to Austria.

 

[Penelope]

The way it literally feels like the fucking RAPTURE is happening every time this casually pops up on shuffle

 

[GinAg (39)]

It stands out like a DIAMOND among LITTER, when seen/ heard next to the rest of the songs.

 

[Kevin]

#54 in the Dutch Spotify chart yesterday. Burning Daylight was at #63.

 

[Penelope]

I'm LETTING MY HAIR DOWN
I'm TAKING A LOAD

 

[Lucille]

It’s giving.

 

[Lucille]

The original Queen of WRITHING AROUND.

 

[Penelope]

It’s giving.

Actually responsible for the staging, just like Ace Wilder with Bananas

 

[Penelope]

(Of course she's insisted on going uncredited though, as our Jules is famously reserved and quite SHY of taking any more attention than is required in daily situations)

 

[Lucille]

Of course Loreen is a fan of Julie’s enticing and sensual choreography.

 

[Penelope]

It's actually quite the GO-TO FACT in their shared fan communities / the smack recovery world that the genesis of My Heart Is Refusing Me was Loreen challenging herself to develop a piece that channeled the emotional universe of Julie's infamous closing shot foetal position into music

 

[VoR]

I can strangely imagine Loreen completely bodying Eyes of a Stranger y'know...
