EUROVISION 2023, SWEDISH COMMENTATORS EDITION 

Hahaha

As a german watching Eurovision is very fun because we have bets if we come in last or second to last 🇩🇪 Love to Sweden, your commentators were really entertaining 🇸🇪

Oh, I didn’t know that Edward had such a large fan-club, but it does make sense😌😍

​@@sofiamoilanenoh he's iconic! I met him in Brighton in 2018 when the BBC hired him to write the script for the UK national final. Really nice guy.

​@@sofiamoilanen I think a lot of Eurofans would like Edward a hell of a lot more if they knew he was the script writer for Eurovision 2016. So if you liked Petra and Måns as hosts Edward was a huge reason for it

Haha that’s funny! Maybe I’ll do a semi finals commentary next year also🔥

@@sofiamoilanen Can’t you find a hobby instead? Knitting? ,p

@@frodehagen8690 I don’t know if more hobbies would make my life any easier, I have plenty as it is, but thanks for the heads up😂🧶

​@@sofiamoilanenI'm so curious to hear how did they comment on our jury's 4 points to Cyprus instead of 12!

Yes, “but it could not have helped” haha, love that too

@@sofiamoilanen Agreed. I love Edward commentating on this, absolutely makes my day.

Yes, it’s harder to focus on what they say when you watch with your family who talks all the time😅, that’s why I also enjoy watching it again, without distractions😂 And yes I agree with you, and if you have seen all the interviews with her afterward, you can see her eyes sparkle of joy😍✨

Hahaha yes indeed🚗

It has to be from the store in Skövde though, otherwise it won’t work 😉

@@gabrielfrisell22 yes skövde has their unique quality of sand 😉

Speaking of that sand, saw a comment where some was like ¨¨ since it was bought sand from bilteam is not real sand'' I was mate what are you on about it's not less of a sand if it is bought or not 🤣

Biltema- Sand and Biltema- hotdogs. Winning concept.

Thanks. I didn't know the reference. Still funny tho.

Thank you for watching! Yes, that was a whole thing over here that their two songs sounded so familiar

@@sofiamoilanen both are great songs, and I have zero patience for those who accuse that Alessandra plagiarised Klara. Plagiarism in the music industry is mostly unintentional.

@@languist very true, sad to see lots of plagíarism-accusations being thrown at many artists this ESC season

@@Hectorien_ It's due to people being salty that cha cha cha didn't win, so they throw the word plagiarized around to make themselves feel better that Queen Loreen won.

i think run to the hills sounds similar to one other song I've listened a lot but can't remember the name edit: now I remember one of the songs: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SIDMfYxseAw.html But I think there is one in english that uses the exact same melody

Well he has been hosting ESC since 2009 already, except 2013 and 2016. Those years he was the main scriptwriter for the show instead, his most famous creation is probably the character Lynda Woodruff together with Sarah Dawn Finder

​@@KittenCritters Lynda is brilliant but i think the interval act "Love Love Peace Peace" (which Edward wrote) is even more famous!

He won't be a presenter but it is 90% that he will write the script. Edward is probably the best ESC script writer ever, even moreso than the writers of the Liverpool show. It is very difficult to write in a second language and still be LOL hilarious, as we see with so many scripts at Eurovision where the jokes just don't fly off the page because they don't work once translated into English.

Love that, I will be back next year as well, you betcha😎

@@sofiamoilanen heck yeahh

Yes that makes it even more fun😂

Tack vad kul att höra, kan bara instämma😍💕

YEEEAAHH👏🏽👏🏽

You mean the Graham Norton wannabes

I would rather watch paint dry..

@@frodehagen8690 *insert family guy cutaway*

@@frodehagen8690and yet you clicked and commented on the video? Seems like an odd choice. There are probably actually videos of paint drying on RU-vid that you could watch instead if you prefer 😊

Thank you! Yes, they have done some terrific things back as well. Might look into that!

​@@sofiamoilanenthere's loads of Best Of Graham Norton videos but yeah another vote for more Best Of Edward compilations. 😂

Haha yes! I couldn’t resist adding the Herreys when Edward mentioned them😄

​@@sofiamoilanen I had such a crush on Richard Herrey back then! When I finally mer him working the late night shift in the Stockholm metro when we was going to the Magnus Uggla show at 'Börsen" and asked where the parking lot was ("if you just go outside, it's just to your right!'), I didn't feel a thing! Bothering me when I was on Grindr. The nerve!

@@seriouspleasures If I'm not mistaken, Richard used to serve as an MP in the Swedish parliament, based on his tweets.

I riksdagsvalet 2018 stod Herrey på Moderaternas lista i valkretsen Stockholms län[11] men tog sig inte hela vägen in i riksdagen. Han har dock tjänstgjort som ersättare i riksdagen sommaren 2019, december 2020-januari 2021 samt åter från december 2021. I mars 2022 blev Herrey ordinarie ledamot sedan Fredrik Schulte avgått. Uppdragen innebär att han är den första Eurovision-vinnaren att sitta i riksdagen.[12] Han fick lämna riksdagen efter att ha förlorat sin plats i valet 2022.[13]

@@ariccua6101 not MP, but M 😊 MP is a completely different party on the left wing side.

I know, they just say whatever’s on their mind. And yeah, this year Finland was titanic and Sweden the iceberg 😅

I wouldn't say a comedic "genius"

@@thegamer-12 I know I exaggerated. He's a pretty damn good script writer, and also sort of handsome?

@@seriouspleasures i don't know. I mean i don't partically like him but yeah. But i guess i just don't like Eurovision in general

@@thegamer-12 Fair, enough! I just appreciate a good banter.

it's his native Brazilian blood ( he is adopted)

You’re welcome ☺️

Thank you very much! Not in the moment but we’ll see!☺️ Thank you! Sometimes my program doesn’t notice when there are spelling errors. I might add that later, unfortunately I can’t change the text that’s already there, but I can add subtitles from RU-vid to put over:)

“Loppan” would be “the flee” which is what it sounds like to my Swedish ears. But it’s obviously just a weird attempt at a nickname.

Indeed, I think Edward even wished for Måns as his commentary partner this year. It’s clear why😄

Our only rule while watching the show in Sweden!

Oh I missed that part, kind of funny because nepotism is not quite what people think of when they hear the N-word! Glad he said that instead, must have been part of the joke.

Yes, I believe SVT bought in a different commentator last two hostings. It's not a massive issue I guess though as the show is hosted by big names in Sweden and most Swedes understand English well enough to get the humour.

@@jamesmt142 2013, it was Josefine Sundström, while 2016 had Lotta Bromé.

TUrns out he was indeed in the booth, as well as producing, and giving the Introduciton to the hosts, but that was probably pre-recorded.

and this year's Petra comment about knowing all the lyrics. Edward certainly has no problem roasting his fellow gays .. .and we are all here for it!🥰

I don’t know what happened haha, at least it’s corrected with the RU-vid subtitles now!

Oh I must have missed that completely, when did he talk about her?

@@sofiamoilanen during the Cyprus postcard

What did he say?

⁠@@saravision04he mentioned that Cyprus got their best result when Måns “friend” Eleni Foureira got second place with fuego (just google eleni and måns together u’ll understand haha)

Yup the shocker was when Sam Ryder won the jury vote and then came second. We were so used to being last or near the bottom it was a complete shock to going into the televote announced last.

Bra för dig! Svenska är stor:)

Oh my mistake! I don’t find the place it is translated wrong tho, your time weren’t right

@@sofiamoilanen It's at 12:50 ish.

@@petrograd4068 found it now, my mistake!

He is the script writer/director actually. Same as in 2013 and 2016.

yeah but, he should be the host this year along with Petra Mede or Sarah Dawn Finer@@Tintelinus

I’m sorry! From what I remember, they didn’t say something extraordinary so I didn’t add Italy😔

@@sofiamoilanen maybe they had nothing to joke about marco 🤣 it's too beautiful 😇

@@AleYui1probably 😉

It’s the best feeling when you have waited for something and it appears in front of you like a gift

Haha, sometimes that happen when you least expect it to😄

He meant the other countries' televisions - Swedes are fortunate in that department, :)

@@Askmolnet first of all i was joking And yes i know

Oj måste blivit fel om jag skrivit det!

Qué?😅

@@sofiamoilanen el sueco acerca de la canción española...se levantó payasete el día de eurovisión según parece

⁠@@yutubvehaha, sí, probablemente 😆

Nej det har jag missat, vad sa han?

​@@sofiamoilanen Oj vet inte om min kommentar vart borttagen pga att den hade en länk i sig, men det var på SVTs "ESC förfest final" program, typ i slutet Han pratade mest om att han och hela svenska folket hejar på henne och (citat) "Vi ska vinna över Finland" haha Juste tänkte också fråga ifall du har 2022 finalen nedladdad fortfarande? Fick feeling att kolla på den igen men det går inte att få tag på längre ifall det skulle gå att skicka på något sätt :')

The second one 100%

We’ll never know

@@Undydamon Yes sir

👀

But you do know that Alessandra is being accused for plagiarising that exact song. If its lame then why did Alessandras song sound almost the same?

@@stellakr75 It doesn't sound almost the same at all. In fact Run to the Hills is much closer to an older Alan Walker song and some other song (both came before her song), than Queen of Kings' small similarities to Run to the Hills. Tattoo is also being accused of plagiarism, pretty much any successful song is accused of that.... I work as a music producer and know very well when a song is plagiarized and when it is just inspired (or simply use the same beat, chords etc, which is completely normal). Lastly, Klara sounds good in the studio, but she pretty much sucked singing live. Night and day difference in vocal abilities.

I immediately thought of "run to the hills" when I heard Alexandra's song. Same vibe. But that doesn't mean it's plagued. There are more songs with that beat and vibe. And I’m sure “Run to the hills”was not the first

Cocky?

Have you seen the Slovenian commentator's comments

bro has never heard of entertainment

They made it a show for the swedish audience. Also, Loreen was already the favorite going in, with Finland second, so making a big deal about the Sweden x Finland rivalry was a good way to build interest. It’s all entertainment and engagement.

Yes! We think that we are so normal here, it’s when we look into other country’s and hear them we realize that, we are an exception😅

Cause it is taken from Swedish TV?

@@Denis-89 No, I am talking about the final..

@@frodehagen8690 its still clips from Swedish TV. Of course it will focus on Sweden. And what was so Swedish in final according to you?

@@Denis-89 For starters, they always have something with Måns, and in the intermission the woman from last year splashing around in the water. And yes, I understand that, but they were patronizing, not funny. But that is the swedish way maybe? If I were you (-which, thank God I’m not) I would start a campain so that you can give the first price to Finland. ;p

The juries count. "Everyone"? She came in 2nd with televotes.

@@DisneyTLK110 Yes, by more than 140 points below Finland ... 🤣

133 votes, I meant

8 months later and spotify tells another story

They are everything and more

5 pegs

What they are hilarious 😂

They're self deprecating too, it may not be as clear this time around, but early on Måns described his career as "struggling but making ends meet" or something like that.

@@petrograd4068that was an obvious joke😭
