Sweden 2024: Marcus & Martinus - Unforgettable (1 Viewer)

[Penelope]

Like a Bobbysocks for the non-binary health goth generation - what do you make of this spirited pair of perky young sxsters fresh off the overnight coach from Trondheim?

 

[AGinAg (39)]

The boys - creepy Jacques bait

The song - fantastic Ag bait

 

[Penelope]

I'm not quite sure if it's better as a song than Air, but my goodness it's terrific and it just looks fantastic. I think everyone overindexing towards 'Sweden 21 points' is really missing how much of a glaring factor Benjamin coming across as creepy and offputting in the Dance You Off performance was, which Marcus & Martinus don't really have - you're just reacting to them being twinks in public

Obviously another jury rave/public 'eh, like my 7th fave' mismatch awaits in the final scores, but I don't think it's going to embarrass itself by any means. It literally sounds like they've beaten The Weeknd to a worldwide hit comeback launch single.

 

[Kratz]

I am sure it will do fine - top ten on jury and televote but it’s a pedestrian song and it’s genuine shame for Sweden not to be a little bit ‘out there’ in a hosting year.

 

[GNL]

Despite finding this quite... Forgettable at first, I've now come round and it's definitely winning the battle of the twinks.

My favourite entry this year

Only partly because I don’t like many of the songs

 

[Joseph]

This is TwinkPop I can stand behind

 

[Kratz]

I’ll be dancing with the Devil to will this to bomb

I’ll be dancing with the Devil to will this to bomb

We are dancing toots?

I officially hate this (and am VERY angry with the Swedes for not sending Fat Ali & Friend) but it does sound exciting when it starts playing on my personal stereo

I hear you, Mandy. It’s REDUCTIVE.

 

[ButterTart]

I think this is now my favourite of Eurovision 2024. It's one of the very few songs I actually care about this year so Europe had best fucking treat it right.

 

[ButterTart]

Fat Ali & Friend

And with that one statement I've finally realised who you are. Welcome back, Mrs K.

The only treatment this deserves is right hand side of the results table.

 

[Kratz]

Is there anyway it can place lower than that?

 

[AGinAg (39)]

The perf you were all waiting for... Blue Peter

AGOG it's still going!

 

[Kratz]

Good of them to bring an ACTUAL Melodifestivalen audience with them there.

[Kratz]

The lack of staging really shows just how pedestrian it is.

 

[Finn]

STUDIO VERSION: A really great generic song. That backing track

WHOLE PACKAGE LIVE ONSTAGE: My least favourite Swedish entry since Robin Stjernberg. The post-Loreen trough is a very real phenomenon

 

[Jacques]

Love how even the worst Melfest ever has managed to produce BT's favourite entry of the year!

They've announced a London show for next March, glad I managed to secure tickets before this hot Blue Peter promo

The flailing kids are the staging!

[HalamaK]

I know it's a generally unexciting proposition, but has Sweden ever been at 260 to 1 before the rehearsal's even started?

 

[Tisch]

Did we see they have an ABLAM?

 

[Soldi]

No x

 

[Dark Carnival]

 

[HalamaK]

Cringe lyrics and it's a bit greedy demanding writing credits for songs they've had no part in creating. Dissapointing that, as a duo with complementing voices, they just take turns singing. I'm perplexed as to why they still haven't learned to layer their vocals properly.

On the flip side, there's plenty of effort going into the song selection and production for this album.

Best are Gimme Your Love and Wicked Game.

 

[Alla]

Did we see they have an ABLAM?

Just what we were all waiting for, a spine-chilling cover of Chris Isaak's Wicked game by those diabolical twins.

 

[Lucille]

What a haunting ode to twincest.

 

[Joseph]

Well I enjoyed the album

It’s not groundbreaking but it’s a fun listen

 

[GALA]

Love Flow is bopping.

A name like bbno$ suggesting a ménage à trois
