Everything does not have to be message-packed. It is possible that I have previously argued the opposite. In that case, I have changed.
The attention Felix Sandman received for his Boys with emotions: guys with emotions, is really unreasonable. When Sandman hugged his competitor and friend Benjamin Ingrosso after the 2018 Melodifestyle Final, the people were knocked out of love. Hugging guys. Unbelievable.
Prior to this year's competition, the marketing of Felix's contribution was about destructive ideals and an equal future. Good, but that was only enough for the second chance.
The mandatory message packing at Melodifestivalen has started to feel low in oxygen. It has been three years since Clara Henry performed her feminist discocover during an intermediate act in Växjö. The development curve since then is flat. But sure, it's nice. Absolutely.
The host trio are professionals on thick ice. If the pleasantness of Lina Hedlund and Linnea Henriksson could be embodied, it would be with peace commissioners in hopefuls.
Robin Bengtsson and The Mamas advanced to the final. Nice. The sadness that really weakened Lili & Susie, Jan Johansen and Sean Banan's participation in the intermediate act, like this between 40 and 10 years after the breakthrough, was hidden by a nice composite story about the program's strongest memories of the competition. The only unsecured individual in Linköping was Sean Banan, who had to hold a microphone long enough to say "Örebro". Best of all. Nicest.
The feeling at the end of the program is saturation. I feel neither enlightened nor educated, which has increasingly begun to feel like the goal of these broadcasts. On the other hand, I am an adult. The melody festival is for children. We others miss nothing.
