Melodifestivalen 2022: Deltävling 2 - Also Avicii Arena

[ButterTart]

@sweden bin this shitty format immediately.

 

[Penelope]

Oh thank GOD for Tone obviously hauling through to AC

 

[Madíson]

I’ve stopped watching have got into an edit war on Wikipedia re the results.

 

[Sheena]

Nice for John Lundvik to actually win a televote…

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Do we think this voting system going to be a ONE AND DONE situation?

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Nice for John Lundvik to actually win a televote…

(Come second in a televote)

 

[Raining on Me]

John Lundvik. That's his name. In case you need to HEAR IT AGAIN

 

[Penelope]

OMG at over 75s going for Tone! Bless Sweden!

 

[ButterTart]

Do we think this voting system going to be a ONE AND DONE situation?

Yes, that was really fucking boring.

Also, fuck Sweden for putting as few women as physically possible through.

 

[Sheena]

(Come second in a televote)

OH - AND EXACTLY WHY THIS IS SO RIDICULOUS!

 

[D5K]

It's a bit weird how much more attention second place is getting to first here. Poor forgotten LIAMOO

This is a massive problem with this format; they should give him a reprise now or something.

 

[Kratz]

That didn’t work at all! Just bring back Finalen or Bust

More complexity does not necessarily mean more drama

And let’s not forget, LIAMOO WON THE HEAT

 

[FetchFugly]

(Come second in a televote)

Yes this presentation makes it look far too much like a victory.

 

[Christian]

What is this backing music? I own it somewhere but I can’t think…

Vertigo / Relight My Fire

 

[win_the_game]

Do we think this voting system going to be a ONE AND DONE situation?

We've had two voting systems in two weeks. Come on Sweden, do the right thing and make it THREE in THREE

 

[FetchFugly]

PUT THE CHILD DOWN

 

[ButterTart]

John Lundvik. That's his name. In case you need to HEAR IT AGAIN

I don't ever want to hear it again unless it's on the news and immediately followed by 'has been killed in a speedboat accident.'

 

[Sheena]

Vertigo / Relight My Fire

Oh of COURSE! They do it every year, so why did I miss that?

 

[ZenGiraffe]

We've had two voting systems in two weeks. Come on Sweden, do the right thing and make it THREE

STV FOR THE FINAL PLEASE

 

[Alla]

Can we go back to the old voting? That was shit.

 

[Raining on Me]

What is this, has he won Eurovision with this tosh because you'd REALLY THINK SO

 

[D5K]

STV FOR THE FINAL PLEASE

SVT surely?

 

[Penelope]

DELIGHTED for Tone, but much as I'm always going to love scores being read out, that's a really poor format.

 

[Sheena]

Mr Sheena: “What happened to him, the guy in the black? Why’s he so happy?”

This is so badly done!

 

[Kratz]

DELIGHTED for Tone, but much as I'm always going to love scores being read out, that's a really poor format.

Totally. I think there is a time for it, and it clearly isn’t in the heats.

And if you are going to do it, involve all the songs, don’t declare a winner and then give more ceremony to the runner up!

 

[Kratz]

But YAY for Tone

 

[Penelope]

I will never understand the logic of ditching reprises but just showing a clip instead. Were they really THAT embarrassed at Anton Ewald last year?

 

[ButterTart]

There was no way to make a John Lundvik silver medal exciting, but taking a system that worked and sapping it of every last erg of drama really wasn't the way to go.

 

[FetchFugly]

But YAY for Tone

She looked really happy. Poor Alvaro's fixed grin read 'HERE AGAIN'

 

[win_the_game]

Well this isn't a CLASSIC year.

 

[ButterTart]

At least we can rest assured that John doing so well means Sweden have learnt absolutely nothing from Tusse.

 

[Penelope]

Well this isn't a CLASSIC year.

Televisually for sure. The next two heats look pretty strong on paper though...

 

[Penelope]

At least we can rest assured that John doing so well means Sweden have learnt absolutely nothing from Tusse.

What are you on about? He came SECOND

 

[Penelope]

What are you on about? He came SECOND

Like say what you will, but that was hardly an OMG THAT MUST GO TO EUROVISION moment there, much as the format might have made it seem otherwise!

 

[Raining on Me]

So happy for TONES. What a cheap joy.

The rest as expected, I'd prefer Lisa and companion over LUNDVIK but that was never likely.

Samira can suck a Bristol dick, whereas Perusing Assembly needed a better song

 

[Soldi]

Well this isn't a CLASSIC year.

We have the FOURTH COMING of ANNA BERGENDAHL in two weeks!

Sadly I think I’m working nights though..

 

[ButterTart]

Like say what you will, but that was hardly an OMG THAT MUST GO TO EUROVISION moment there, much as the format might have made it seem otherwise!

That just underscores how shit the format is.

But it is worrying how readily Sweden will plump for vanilla emptiness instead of something with a pulse.

 

[Hak]

Wat are they thinking

Surely SVT can afford to extend the SFs 7 minutes to allow for a reprise for each winner??

 

[FetchFugly]

Can't wait for Linda to get it right this time... REALLY next week

 

[Raining on Me]

We have the FOURTH COMING of ANNA BERGENDAHL in two weeks!

Sadly I think I’m working nights though..

She's back?! I need to catch up. Anna's time is truly now after This Is My Life was pipped at the winner's post by Lena (and 306 other songs)
