She changed the eurovision ! The queen Loreen !
Loreen has done quite a bit of statements and political activism. In 2012 in Baku where she won she spoke with local human rights groups. She has also visited democracy groups in Belarus and helped bring more support to stop the suffering in Afghanistan. She has also been awarded prizes for her work in supporting children in need. So my guess is that she probably was active in this decision and wanted to send a message. I also have vague memories of reading that she didn't want the act to centre around her so much, which is one of the reasons that she disappears into the crowd at the end.
Loreen is a real artists, not just singer who knows to sing. I love her live performances, musical improvisations, she feel everything about music. You should react on "Statements" - Melodifestivalen 2017, Sweden missed the opportunity to win Eurovision once again.
agree
One of the best ESC openers without a doubt, and all down to the production skills of the Swedish broadcaster SVT. This set a real benchmark which they, themselves, surpassed when they hosted it once again in 2016 - a fantastic opener and a couple of great interval acts. You have those treats ahead of you in a few weeks time 😉
I can’t wait 😊
@@JordanDavisEurovision I'll send you some links as you get towards the end of 2015... So glad you took up the idea of openers and intervals, all too often neglected in the reactor world.
@@JordanDavisEurovision i hope that cornelia takes it this years so sweden is the host next year
Oooh Sweden...you are so good in all you do ❤️
By brother was in the children’s choir. I just bursted out crying watching this. It brought up a lot of memories and emotions. Thank you for the wonderful reaction ❤️
Such a fun reaction! You rarely see people reacting to opening and interval acts! Love your energy, will definitely check out more reactions once I've gotten some sleep hahahaha!
Sleep first, CZcams later 😂😂😂
LOVE LOREEN ❤️❤️😘
My country really said "we ain't wasting this opportunity" not to mention the WHOLE country was so proud of Loreen is probably why they called her in. We were all proud to call her one of us
Next year, again, in Malmoe, Sweden. 50 years since ABBA won in Brighton, UK. Be prepared.....
You should do all openings, songs and intervals of every year.
Loving the idea of incorporating the opening acts into your reactions! There's also some absolutely killer interval acts.
Loreen always hits it out of the park for me, so I really can't recommend her 2017 entry "Statements" enough. It's probably one of my favorite Melodifestivalen songs of all time, actually. czcams.com/video/ckFNon_1PgY/video.html
Its visually impressive, cinematic, whatever but it gives me a sense of "too much". Like thats the kind of stuff americans would bring if they were part of eurovision?
I agree, Statements is really worth watching, especially, if you like dramatic, yet meaningful performances.
I have that one on my radar, don’t worry 😉
Dang, now I have to see it 😂
@@JordanDavisEurovision Honestly, the only disappointment with that performance is that it somehow didn't even reach the final. I know a loooooot of Eurovision fans outside of Sweden (who watch MelFest) are still baffled by that 3 years later, and I feel them.
Please check Loreen My heart is refusing me and Statements...
Looking forward to these reaction series!
I really like this opening act, Loreen´s amazing and so are the kids. It was from the semifinal, the opening act from the final is also amazing with a song written by Björn & Benny from ABBA and Avicii. Check out: Avicii, ABBA's Benny & Björn - We Write The Story (Eurovision 2013).
The bridge is very symbolic, the Öresund-bridge connects Sweden with the rest of Europe (via Denmark) and the 2013 Eurovision was held in Malmö which is the 3rd largest city in Sweden, and the city that is connected to Copenhagen in Denmark via this bridge.
Hope you react to Petra´s interval act "ESC 2013 FINAL - Petra Mede - Swedish Smörgåsbord" too. It´s quite funny.
Thanks for telling me about the bridge! That’s what I love about meaningful stage designs. Also yes, I plan to react to Petra’s interval act too!
@@JordanDavisEurovision it also provided a stunning mechanism for the Flag parade.. and this was the year it really became a normal thing..
I really liked this slowed down version with the children choir doing sign language, it really touches your heart. And Loreen is just amazing as always.
And yes, some interval acts are really worth watching (not all tho 😎). Since you’re now at 2013, did you also plan to watch interval from SF2 with Darin and Agnes? If not, maybe you should 😊
I’ll certainly look into it! I know I’m doing the Swedish Smorgasbord medley
That was absolutely unnecessary. What a way to piss off people by reminding that Loreen won undeservedly. And kids were a weak excuse...
Oh my God, now you know they bring them back every year 😂
@@JordanDavisEurovision I understand that a winner usually opens the show. I'm fine with it.
I just hate Loreen and Sweden in ESC...
@@teo_heel Why? Sweden usually has best songs and Melodifestivalen for them is like national holiday that last 2 months. No other country put so much effort before Eurovision. Every year they get over 3000 songs to choose from. Btw Loreen is Marroccan Swedish.
@@iaindj you're calling it an effort? I don't think that Sweden really trying to impress. Their songs usually easily interchangeable with each other, because they're created from one template. People just like them by default. And I don't get it.
@@teo_heel You do realise that almost all of the major worldwide hit songs have Swedish writers? Don't hate them because they have the talent and take Eurovision more seriously than other countries. Euphoria especially was a worldwide hit, it even made the top 40 here in Australia.
