This video breaks down the highlights from the Swedish commentators in the Eurovision song contest finals 2022. It also contains some fun moments from the Swedish contestant Cornelia Jakobs. Everything is translated into English. Enjoy!
I love our Swedish commentators and always laugh at their comments. I remember a year of Edward saying something along the lines of “all the people in this group have failed to make it as solo singers and now they can experience failing as a group too” But I can’t remember which year it was or which country he meant.
@@inaktiv2670 well hasnt he done a lot of work with Melfest every year? Fun Fact: Edward Af Sillen, the male commenting in this video, is the genius responsible for "Love Love Peace Peace".
Speaking of Graham Norton, when him and Petra Mede hosted the show Eurovision's Greatest Hits in 2015, for the 60th anniversary of ESC, Edward af Sillén was one of the script writers.
Everyone who says they want Petra Mede back to host, should also remember add this guy, Edward af Sillén, since he was the one who wrote the script for the Eurovision hosts in both 2013 and 2016. And songs like "Love Love Peace Peace", "What is Eurovision", "Swedish Smorgasbord" If you thought Petra and Måns were funny, it's a lot thanks to this guy. He also created the character Linda Woodruff together with Sarah Dawn Finer. He also created the host's scripts for Melodifestivalen 2009 (when Petra Mede hosted), 2012, 2013, and 2016. The comedy of Melodifestivalen has gone downhill since then, imho, and I hope he will return! And I also hope he is getting ready to write the script for Eurovision 2024! Fingers crossed.
I wish we could get that type of humor again, mello right now only has cringe-type humor you would only find at the Oscars. Love Farah and Oscar though.
Edward is amazing but what i heard he do have alot of stage fear so i don’t think that would be good for his mental health but he do many other things that has to do with eurovision.
@@boel6725 How would writing scripts be bad if you have stage fear? If you thought I meant that he should be a host too, then that wasn't what I meant, I meant that he should be added as a script writer, as he were before, without him Petra and Måns wouldn't have been the great hosts they were.
The best part from the commentary for me was when after San Marino he said "If the final ends in a tie the winner will be determined after who can sit the longest on San Marino's bull".
@@thatpandaz6094 Jag kopierar det som står på urban dictionary som förklaring: "A term used by gay men to describe a husky, large man with a lot of body hair."
Yeah, they're not 100% literal most of the time, but they do translate to expressions of basically the same meaning! (... with some small mistakes, yes)
Ja, troligtvis Edward, men skulle gissa att de kör en ny sidekick, brukar ju vara olika varje år. Linnea var ju en av programledarna för Melodifestivalen 2020, och det har ofta varit en f.d melodifestivalenprogramledare som är hans sidekick, så kanske det blir Farah Abadi och Edward af Sillén som kommenterar Eurovision i år. Eller kanske nån annan Melodifestivalen-profil? Kanske Cornelia kan gå i Sanna Nielsens, Måns Zelmerlöws och Charlotte Perellis fotspår och vara Eurovision kommentator tillsammans med Edward af Sillén?
I love all the cheeky comments and the subtle roasts. Quite different to the commentator that I (as a German) usually hear. And yeah, we did send quite a few bad or just radio songs over the past few years, though it seems that the NDR (German TV channel that does the choosing) follows the motto "Maybe this year is going to be better"
How have I only just found this?! Edward is as iconic as Terry Wogan or Graham Norton in the UK, I've wanted to see him subtitled for years and it's just as good as I expected!
That was wonderful, with superbly delivered wit. Hopefully they commentate for you again this year. From the UK, where we welcome you to our Eurovision party!
Hope someone make a video of 2023 best Edward quotes too translated. Like when he was introducing Albania. "It's Albina, her mom Albana, and her brother Albin. The family dentist Dr Alban couldn't make it unfortunately".😆
@@inaktiv2670 Happy to hear that! May I suggest that you used cc subtitles, instead of putting the subtitles directly on the video this time? It's easier if you want to make some changes later on. Just a suggestion. Thanks in advance for all your hard work, putting it together, and translating an so on!
Jag tycker det är så kul att de är två i kommentator båset och inte ensamma - stämmningen blir härligt så! :) EN: I think that it's so fun that they are two in the commentators booth and not alone - makes the vibe wonderful that way! :)
I’m glad you liked it 😍 I have a different channel now @sofiamoilanen and there I will post both the Swedish Melodifestivalen moments and some Eurovision highlights from 2023. Feel free to check it out🤗
As a Melodifestivalen/Eurovision loving Swede, I can still say that Edward's commentary is one of the best parts with watching Eurovision every year. He's also a legend that wrote amazing scripts both for Melodifestivalen for several years and for Eurovision 2013 and 2016. I can't wait for May when he's gonna do the script again!
Sofia (the channels creator) is welcome to correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think she will since this channel is officially inactive and her other channel is lifestyle themed. But I'm feeling very inspired to do a video of my own of this year's Swedish commentators, if Sofia's not going to. 🙏
@@Lewisiaisoutofcontext Please do! Perhaps you could make them with the cc-subtitles then, it's better since then you can change them later on if you happen to make a mistake (I'm not saying you would!).
Hello everyone! I have another channel called @sofiamoilanen . In a week the new translated version of this years Eurovision will be uploaded. This time with Edward and Måns👊🏻
@@inaktiv2670 I wonder why your broadcaster SVT has intellectually chosen for such these gentle humorous commentators to make everybody got laugh happily, even a non-Swedish person like me can get laugh tremendously by your translation though
@@tienminhtonguyen6303 We are few people from our country, but the ones who make a great show will be selected. I think SVT saw the natural abilities of Edward and therefore chose him to a commentator. He has been our Eurovision voice host as long as I can remember, and I hope no one ever change that !
Glad you liked it! I have a different channel now @sofiamoilanen and there I will post both the Swedish Melodifestivalen moments and some Eurovision highlights from 2023☺️
@@inaktiv2670 My brother is becoming obsessed with Sweden to the point that he watches Melodifestivalen live in the arena every year... what probably pushed over to like Sweden so much, is the fact that our commentary (in Portugal) SUCKS!!!!!!!
@@dramaticScar haha, that’s to bad but everyone is always welcomed here. But just a question, does he understand anything coming from Portugal by watching Melodifestivalen, and even if he doesn’t understand, is Sweden still better than in Portugal?😄
In case anyone is wondering, Edward af Sillén will be commenting the Swedish broadcast again this year (never stop!), and by his side this time, he will have Måns Zelmerlöw by his side (as he did in 2017). Hope someone put subtitles on this years edition too! (And perhaps earlier editions as well?)
I hope we get a 2023 version, because the two guys we had this year were hilarious I distinctly remember "Och om du kommer ihåg det, är du nog inte helt heterosexuell" Which translates to: "And if you remember that, you're probably not completely Heterosexual"
Don't be ridiculous, our least favorite neighbor is Denmark, they don't even have a real language! And finland is the only thing standing between us and russia so I guess that makes them the favorties by default and at 15:15 they said she was 'standing in a big pool' (fountain)
Hahaha - I have a close friend from Denmark, and it's so funny sometimes! Danish to us sounds a lot like they speak with a potato in their mouth - but to them, Swedish sounds really awfully posh 😂 I love my country-neighbors
Gick du tillbaka till de svenska kommentatorerna det här året eller kollade du på annat håll;)? Kan tipsa om en ny video som kommit upp också ifall du vill se, gå till 19:35 så kommer du till årets bästa kommentarer med Måns och Edward!
