Loreen is an obvious favorite in Mello: “It tickles”

Leksand extended the winning streak beat AIK

Even before Loreen performed “Tattoo” for the first time, she was tipped to win the whole Eurovision. An expectation that she does not feel completely comfortable with. There is a moving consensus: Loreen will win Melodifestivalen. At least if you ask the rep audience, the gaming companies – and her fellow artists. – A part of me, the child in me, I am very happy that you dig my performance. That was the vision. This is what a rested and happy Loreen says, but at the same time she feels a little torn: – The other part of me also blocks it, because I want the performance to be authentic. Before Loreen heads out on the big stage tonight, she will do her routine to feel the energies: – Before I go on stage, I usually meditate to sense what is happening, what kind of mood everyone has in the arena. When I go on stage, I usually meet people’s eyes and tan. I want them to see me, because when the number starts, it’s a different energy. They also want to go to Eurovision Marcus and Martinus have also gone and become audience favourites. Ahead of the final, they feel a certain nervousness – but also great public support. – We have heard so many positive things and were so happy when we went straight to the final. We didn’t know what to expect from the Swedish audience, so it’s great that they have supported us all the way, says Marcus Gunnarsen. Although Loreen is the big favorite, the Norwegian duo does not want to charge anything in advance. – You obviously have chances, it’s a competition and anything is possible. The most important thing is that people sit with a good feeling after seeing us, says Marcus Gunnarsen. – We want to go to Eurovision, everyone here wants that. But everyone is very talented, adds Martinus Gunnarsen. Hear the interview with Loreen – in the player above.
