I feel like the streaming stats and interest in this kind of speak for themselves in that it's clearly breaking out beyond the hardcore Eurovision fanbase, and clearly it's already become a smash on home soil.
That we have Statements, and how that performed, as a direct comparison I don't think we can chalk it down to just "LOREEN's BACK!!!" peaks in interest, or the stage invasion either which already seems semi-forgotten and isn't even part of the YouTube upload. That it's all based on a semi final performance too is surely unprecedented.
I can't really comment if it will win Eurovision though, as she hasn't even won Melodifestivalen yet. And if she does win MF, and the interest continues to grow in a similar fashion by the time Eurovision comes around then frankly I think she deserves it. Boring perhaps, but I'm totally here for a full-circle pop culture moment - which a second Loreen win with this particular performance absolutely will be.
(I also absolutely adore it, I think I prefer it to Euphoria, and the absolute chasm of quality between this and every other MF entry - aside from the 6 Feet Under song - is absolutely hilarious)

I support this initiative. Animals are forbidden on stage but there's precedence with vehicles being allowed!

I love love love love that she's chosen rather universal and emotive chorus lyrics too. Thankfully she remembers to enunciate when it matters.
"All I want is to be loved" in particular is very powerful, and more memorable to me than the title hook. I wouldn't be shocked if many people thought that was the actual song title instead of Tattoo.
Not to mention the FROZEN STRINGS, which are a nice point of difference and a dramatic/queer drama moment (and could possibly widen the appeal a bit to some FAR EASTERN COUNTRIES should it make it to Eurovision)

Statements found rotting in a ditch 
It's very much starting to look like people are here for the song itself, as much as the performance

After the UK's selection Tattoo is now trading at shorter odds than Euphoria was after landsliding Melfest 2012.

Well, it's not perfect but can you expect more from mother when she's busy getting up from bed, saving music and getting her nails done?

This is the most she's worked since 2013.

Each nail is reported to take more than 20 minutes to do every day. That's half a workday just for the nails.

You can easily adapt that staging. If anything the stunning backdrop is more eye catching than the LED platforms.Aftonbladet are reporting that her stage set is TOO HEAVY for the BBC

I would be, considering it weighs 1.8 tons. Mother would be dead if that collapses on her!

We need that 7:th win so I’d say it’s worth the risk.
It puts me TOTALLY on edge. We had all that RISK OF SNOW IN THE MOUTH horror last time and now it's the DANGER OF GETTING SQUASHED TO DEATH ON LIVE TV!
