I’d say just release it since it’s already out there.


Adding my thoughts in spoiler as not to ruin anything for those going in DRY tonight:

Oh WOW! I know it seems to be the done thing to hate on a song we haven't even properly heard yet (:D), but for my taste this is absolutely INCREDIBLE!

So so stunning, and powerful - and this is on a mobile shot video of a REHEARSAL that apparently didn't go all that well.
Looking at the screens in shot it looks so effective, and the break for dramatic strings??
The shots of her reaching up between the two screens are so dramatic, great that they seem to get a few of them in too.

So visually memorable. I can really see this challenging for one of my favourite MF entries of ALL TIME once we get the final thing.

Incidentally, YouTube autoplayed this Madonna performance straight after, which is quite apt as it's the performance I was thinking of whilst watching Tattoo:

This simply cannot go sideways!

Everyone in the Swedish press are agreeing our mother is winning :D

Everything else's just a small parenthesis. Nothing beats Loreen.

Her rehearsal last Thursday is among the strongest I've seen in Melodifestivalen in 18 years. The last minute of the contribution, where Loreen throws away the script and invents her own vocal melody, has an enchanting power that has not been seen in this context since "Euphoria".

The vote belongs in the Super Bowl and not in a hockey arena in Skåne.
g Melfest and is a contender for ESC victory :disco:

Yes, "Tattoo" is the best song in the starting field. Surely it's nice when expectations are fulfilled? Although it doesn't trump "Euphoria", it picks up where its predecessor left off (let's collectively suppress the interlude "Statements"), with a sound that sucks and a tension that builds to a pop chorus so liberating that you almost start to think that Loreen's polyglot interviews about love are really deep. Finally, we also get a finale-worthy number that, with well-balanced desert drama, stands out among the strangely unsatisfying stage shows of the year.

Rating: 5

A outclassment that should be sent directly to ESC

An unexpectedly mouth-watering number, a song with a strong Bride of Christ aura and a performance we just have to send to the ESC – otherwise Sweden should be disqualified as a nation forever.

LorQueen - everything else fades in the last heat of the year

From the moment we got to see what she had put together for her spectacular Mello comeback last Thursday, I felt that this is what will win this year's festival.

Tattoo is three minutes of Eurovision perfection, and Loreen gives it her all in her Dune-inspired number. She poses, hisses, dances and claws her way through her magic number on sand-splattered LED screens and everything else pales in comparison.
Folks and fans LOVE Loreen's cabinetry aesthetic.

A strong BRIDE OF CHRIST AURA :disco:
In Sweden The Bride of Christ has a special connotation. It's specifically referencing Åsa Waldau, who as Bride of Christ was heading the Knutby sect, where in 2004 a young pastoral nanny got brain washed into committing a double homocide.

It’ll be funny to look back on this thread in about an hour when it turns out that mysterious yellow light in London was actually a nuclear missile exploding.
 
Behold, I am coming soon
I am the Alpha and the Omega
The first and the last
The beginning
And the end
LORRAINE
 
Am I the only one who has managed to resist Tattoo so far?

I am ready for my hymen to be destroyed by Lauren!!
