I like the abrupt ending. It makes it less unpredictable, it does not end the way you expect it too
They are 22 yers old and twins!
Look the same? Offcourse they do! They are identical twins!! 😂
LMAO!!
By just watching their video, it's almost impossible to describe what happens when they're actually on stage: They Slay It!!
They do sort of a relay-race-routine, by singing in turn, while the other one wows the crowd and does some, silly, drunken man's moves. And then they do their little dance, which is about the best you'll get to see at ESC. They're no Pavarotti's, but it's all adequate and the song is a Banger! Top 10 material.
One thing to remember is ESC talking about the end cut. The songs is not allowed to be longer than 3 min.
Agree about the ending too - it's almost like they've put a middle 8 at the end then forgotten to go back to the main theme.
The crowds were already screaming so loud at the end of their last sentence (during performances), that any addition would drown in the noise ...
Twins 22 olds norway 🇧🇻
Agree with you on the ending falling flat, otherwise pretty good- Vesuvius by Sufjan Stevens
COMPLETELY agree with you on the ending, those extra notes and maybe a dramatic base at the very end would have made it so much better
There is a time limit to the songs in Eurovision. Thats probably why it ended like it did.
They are 22! And I like the ending, it´s like the saying "leave them wanting more".
Lovely staging, great performance, but not a winning song imo.
Yup! I think the staging is gonna be great if this National final is anything to go by!
4:15 ooooh that ascending melody is the same as Bridges from last year!
You are absolutely correct! The ending is incomplete!!!
"They give twinny vibe"
No shit their twins 😂
I don’t see why there are 2 of them - they don’t sing together until the very end of the performance, just take turns all the way through the song!
maybe ...; because they're Twins??
@@sebastian0107 yeah I see that ☺️ but they don’t both have to be part of the act. The fact that there are two people brings nothing extra if they don’t ever sing together. I’m desperate for some harmonies!
@@blythb7819 There is no Harmony! (First thing I noticed to). Only a vague background voice in the chorus. Missed opportunity.
Totally. But maybe they want to do well but not great 😆
@@blythb7819 🤪
Musically it's veeeery very "Salva Mea" by Faithless (interesting the EBU said nothing against it) - but in Malmö surely a good opener to bring good vibes to the audience.
This distracts me so much! It’s why I couldn’t get into it! I just think „Faithless“ throughout…
There are already accusations of plagiarism. 3 songs went into this. Not sure how the producers will handle that ...
Not my kind of music since I am more for rock and wanted Smash Into Pieces to win the Swedish voting. But these two guys are not kids. They are 22 years old and identical twins coming from our neighboring country Norway.
Correct; and they've been onstage from 10 yrs on. 1.6 Billion streams, they've accumulated since!
Thanks so much for this information 😊
Smash Into Pieces
@@mustikka5 Lucky you! They slay every performance. Live, they are better than their songs. I hope they'll soon built up some repertoire and come to Holland to!
🏆🥇👑🥇🏆🏆🥇👑Marcus end Martinus Love Loviju 👑🥇🏆🤵♂️🎙🎤🤗❤️❤️🥇🏆👑👑
I love this song, 🧡but yes I think it ends a bit too soon.🙋🙋
@TheMuserResolute So, they are actually twins and they are 22 years old....
These guys came 2nd in the national final last year, losing out to Loreen. That song had much more of a pulse although it suffered from the same ultimate downfall, the abrupt ending
As I think someone said here, I heard it as a bad rip off of Faithless. Feels like the composers aren’t trying so hard. And yes, I agree, they let in fizzle out in a whimper instead of a bang…
Now, have you listened to the Spanish song, Nebulossa, by Zorra. If you do, can I recommend the live performance at the Spanish national contest. Fun all the way (I don’t want to say anything)
AI; better get used to it!
Ohh yes. I’ve heard Spain! Will release the video soon 😊
@@TheMuserResolute their live national final. The performance is a hoot
It is super cheesy and it doesnt kinda match the feeling from the song itself.
Why make a review when you decided from the beginning to saw it?
You don't seem to get the meaning of the word "review". It's not the same as an advertorial. Though you will find many "reviews" on ESC songs that are only there to score views. They will tell you anything you want to hear. This guy is a fair judge. He analyses the structure and than it's loose elements. In the end he will tell you if it's a nice enough pop-song. His verdict on this one was mild.
@@sebastian0107 But a review must be without preconceived notions before starting a review. He already had his mind before he started! It's a bad review.
@@bengtolsson5436 He seemed a bit prejudiced in the first minute, but he apologized for that later on. It's not uncommon for Americans to not fully appreciate Euro-Pop.
Personally I like this song a lot: it's on repeat. A guilty pleasure. I think they'll surprise many people with their awesome Stage-Presence. That part, he didn't capture.
They are 22 and not 16 :)
The downside of this song is if you wanna go 'round humming this, all you've got is the hook "she's unforgettable". It's the melody that has the hook rather than the words. I don't dislike the song overall but it's not my favourite. /A random Swede
The general consensus is very much that the song itself is painfully mediocre, lyrics just down right boring/basic, and then that the ending is cool but only because you feel like it's leading up to a big finale that just isn't there, but that the production and staging is probably the best of the entire season. For me the production and that groove during the verses/bridges is enough to make me love the whole package, but I totally get how the tackiness of it can tip alot of people towards disliking it
First hearing: I thought exactly the same. Second time: still. But then I watched them perform this song Live, and I was amazed at how good they were as Live-performers. Way more spontaneous than you might expect; excellent Show-Man. They are better than their song. It's now nr. 16 in the Polls.
I'm Swedish, and I hate this (just the entry, not the brothers). It's like a testament over all the crap people in the ESC community have been throwing at Sweden over the years.
This song is called Unforgettable, yet I've already forgotten it twice 😂 It's just somehow so generic. The only thing that sets it apart is twins singing it, but even that's not really adding anything to the song itself, since they basically have the same voice too, so I can't even hear where one stops and the other one starts. The ending looks like it's supposed to leave the listener wanting for more, but it doesn't. The whole package just doesn't make me care enough to even hate it. I'll just forget it again and move on I guess.
OMG THANK YOU. I’m glad others are calling this out for its cringe factor 😂
It's super cringe. I just can't when they stare dramatically into the camera.
1:23 ”its a bit cringe” yeah because u finally hear a normal song that isnt literal trash and they arent dressed like people of the capitol in hunger games
This song is the definition of soulless for me.
That's what Sweden do. :D If this was entered by Norway, the jury woulnd't look at it twice. Watch them get 12 from all the norther nations.
@@tonyttt31
If the twins had competed for Norway and not Sweden they would not do worse or better. If this song will do good with the juries for Sweden it would do well for Norway aswell for same reasons. If will do badly with the juries for Sweden then it would do rather bad with the juries if had represented Norway. The jury do not favorite Sweden at all, people need to stop with the baseless jury claims.
Juries just reward certain critiera and do I need to remind you that Sweden can do bad with juries too!? Like Tusse 2021 for example did not so good with either tele nor jury. In 2010 Sweden did actually score more points from the tele voters and really bad with the jury, Sweden would have Q instead of NQd if the televoters got to decide that year. Just saying!
Thats what Sweden do? Really? There was noone even close to Loreens passion, emotion and soul last year. She sang her heart out. Gave it her all. There was not one hairstrand on my body that didnt give her a standing ovation. So stop the crap!@@tonyttt31
Ironically a very forgettable song
