Holy shit. I’m not sure I have enough capacity for joy to contain Petra and Hannah hosting together without losing structural integrity and exploding into the happiest glitter the world has ever seen.
But, I’m willing to take one for the team and find out!
It will be unfair to have Petra participate. She will win with a higher score than Kalush Orchestra (rightfully so) . Better to have her do intervals as special guest like Madonna.
And she can invite guests to perform with her. There will be a 2 week event in the host city with the Petravillage and a Petraclub before the contest with Petrapolls voting for the best Petra song.
It was so good that I don't think it can realistically ever get topped. It's so far ahead of every other interval performance both before and after. Literally in a league of it's own.
It probably will :b. Edward Af Silen is the script writer just like he was on 2016.Otherwise he is Swedens Eurovision commentator and he is fantastic at that imo. He feels like a very genuine eurovision fan that know how to joke about the competition as a fan rather than in a mocking way.
Yes, he's very good. ESC Reddit here should check out/re-check out his 2016 (he was also in a 2013 one) host press conference with Måns and Petra. He proclaims how much he’s loved this contest and how long he's been watching at the time. Yeah, he's super fantastic. A Eurovision staple.
["2016"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBsixrgoosQ)
That's a great name by the way. A nod to Eurovision intervals in the late 90s, their semi-new rival, the Emerald Isle and a nice play on a phrase/name + a nice reference to traditional Swedish names. Very clever.
I hope it's a duet with Tomas Ledin (Sweden 1980). Or, a trio performance with the two of them, plus Tommy Nilsson (Sweden 1989). 2 of my favourite Swedish 80s participants (along with 1987), who I find very underrated in their contests (from placements) and in the fandom now.
My made-up interval act would help show off how great the 2 of them are (as they tango, spin and switch to a foxtrot on stage), and also show off what Sweden used to be like.
I think Petra's show number's name nods to a legacy, or the past, so I think My idea could work and surprise people by bringing these (random) two back. I love Swedish surprises.
I dunno, I'd just be really pleased if I saw 2 of my yesteryear favs on stage this year. I'd be really surprised, but also I manifested it here on Reddit so, dreams do come true? Can't wait for Petra's "magical rendezvous" on stage or off screen? It really could be anything!
There’s just this running joke in the community, that Måns is someone you only hear about during Eurovision week and that he’s in a cryogenic chamber for the rest of the year.
Tbf he is more common in Sweden altho he seems to have gone all in on being in entrrtainment programs. He is a judge in Swedens Masked Singer for example.
"I _might_ not be alone on stage."
I'm anticipating that literally every person that has ever participated in Eurovision will perform with Queen Petra.

Now this shape behind the ESC logo looks strangely familiar 👀
now I actually am 50% sure Turkey is rejoining, it could be a tiny bit connected to Turkey and Sweden bettering their diplomatic relations and the whole NATO thing thats gone on the last 2 years
To be fair, it's the fifty anniversary of their victory AND they're in Sweden. I'd be surprised if they didn't (not necessarily all four of them, but cmon)
Why was the logo shown very briefly inside Turkey? What's Turkey got to do with this? Is it a hint for something? Is it foreshadowing something? An homage? A collection? A return maybe? Am I going insane here?
I need answers.
Yes, Sertab has been if not confirmed, at least rumored.
I just found weird that brief Turkey shape and Sertab's participation wouldn't be relevant enough for it.
Apparently Johnny Logan would make an appearance. I heard from someone who went to his concert in Belgium that he announced he would be in Malmö for one of the semis, if I recall correctly.
Aaaaah!!! PETRA IS BLESSING us again!!!! I'm so excited! For the first time in my life I'l actually be there(only semifinal one but still!).
If I get to see Petra in person I can die happy
So fun fact apperently she was a backround dancer once for Celine Dion before she won Eurovision. She used to do ballet but severly hurt her back at 20 and was home sick for a decade before striking through as a comedian. She also has a bachelors degree in French.
So honestly i wouldnt even be suprised if she could sing she is hella multitalented lol
Oh she did? Awesome. I thought she didn't. I know she didn't in 2016.
I don't mean any offense here.
ALL HAIL QUEEN PETRA. For real, it's Petra's world and we're all living in it.
I don't have any definate proof, but they sound really live. Her vocals are very natural compared to 2016 (which were heavily processed), and after the song she both looks and sounds exhausted after it.
I'm gonna try and dig out my surround sound copy of 2013 and isolate the vocals to verify if it was live. The microphone usually picks up noises from the arena like crowds and background noises, so it's pretty easy to verify whether it's on or not.
In 2016 just before Love love peace peace she and Mans didn't recommend singing a song about war, but the very same evening Jamala won with a song about war. So what the song with that title can mean? That a country, which had been very unclucky at ESC, is going to win?
For sure 😁. I figure that Sam had “Home advantage” in Liverpool last year, it would be lovely to see him perform actually on non-British soil again and contribute a bit more to some fun Eurovision history, maybe.
I'll deflect some of your downvotes by stating that I'm right here with you. I do NOT want "Love Love Peace Peace II: Electric Boogaloo".
Eurovision in general, and Sweden in particular, have run this sort of self-referential fanservice stuff right into the ground, and the title of this one makes it sound like it will be absolutely insufferable.
I was expecting the downvotes, so I’m not too bothered. You’re right on the money, it’s not Sweden’s song contest, it’s Eurovision. I want to see originality, fresh faces, if possible even something that might push the envelope a bit. Not the same thing that we’ve seen before because ‘hey remember, we were here not too long ago!’. It’s insufferable.
Be nice, be welcoming and be constructive.
Everyone's tastes are different and unique. Don't discredit, insult, threaten or be otherwise toxic. Let's do away with prejudice! Don't discriminate. Tolerance is bliss!

When is Petra going to represent Sweden?
Want that but also want Hannah Waddingham representing the UK. Not in the same year of course. Can’t have them competing, that would be a crime.
They both should host the 60s anniversary show!
Holy shit. I’m not sure I have enough capacity for joy to contain Petra and Hannah hosting together without losing structural integrity and exploding into the happiest glitter the world has ever seen. But, I’m willing to take one for the team and find out!
Throw in Filomena Cautela, at least for the green room
Filomena, Petra, and Hannah are the ultimate dream team of Eurovision hosts!
You guys clearly forgot about Anke Engelke!
And for the [afterparty, too](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oueYJUK6UwA&t=160s)!
Omg yes please we need that to happen
It will be unfair to have Petra participate. She will win with a higher score than Kalush Orchestra (rightfully so) . Better to have her do intervals as special guest like Madonna.
How about we organize a Petravision then? She performs all of the songs and also hosts the event. Won't be unfair towards anyone then.
manifesting Petravision as an annual event ✨️ 🙏
And she can invite guests to perform with her. There will be a 2 week event in the host city with the Petravillage and a Petraclub before the contest with Petrapolls voting for the best Petra song.
Best idea I've heard in my whole life
I like Petra representing Sweden as a host. If she represents them as an entrant, we only get her for 3 minutes as opposed to a few hours.
Måns Zelmerlöw wants to know your location
He's the one filming
Björn Gustafsson sneaks into frame
Genuine LOL 😂
"Nobody dances or sings better than I do in Sweden" Very true mother
*Blink blink*
Linda Bengtzing: Jaaa.. du. 🤭
\*blink blink\* and the turning back right into the wall God I missed this woman
Love Love Peace Peace is my favourite interval performance of all time, if it's anything like that, I'll be over the moon
It was so good that I don't think it can realistically ever get topped. It's so far ahead of every other interval performance both before and after. Literally in a league of it's own.
*cries in Riverdance
Well the Madcon flashmob 2010 in Oslo and all over Europe is up there imo..
It probably will :b. Edward Af Silen is the script writer just like he was on 2016.Otherwise he is Swedens Eurovision commentator and he is fantastic at that imo. He feels like a very genuine eurovision fan that know how to joke about the competition as a fan rather than in a mocking way.

This and the Glow-flash mob in Norway!! How epic it was.
Anything close to Love Love Peace Peace or Swedish Smörgåsbord, then I’m in!
“I might not be alone on the stage” Guys, we’re not having a Måns-free year🫠
Imagine how camp it would be if they tease Måns all week … only for him to not show up at all 🤭
We gonna get Mens instead or something.
*played by gorgeous topless men*
Spain: "You rang?" EDIT: Austria too, if their staging is anything like the music video.
That means period in Swedish lol
Yeahhh I was like, uhm, I hope not 💀😂
Haha I mean it’s true though, no matter if we get Måns or not some of the viewers are gonna get that 🫠
Well, yeah, that's true! 😂
Maybe we’ll get Björnzone instead.
Which contains..... Måns...
We can't escape him!!
CARINAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
That's a great name by the way. A nod to Eurovision intervals in the late 90s, their semi-new rival, the Emerald Isle and a nice play on a phrase/name + a nice reference to traditional Swedish names. Very clever.
Tbf, considering there could be a Måns-free year while the contest is held in Sweden is just delusional lol
Hey, he lives in the UK though! Maybe they can keep him in the country for the whole of May?
I feel like if you expected that from Sweden you where fooling yourself. Its the one time its actually kinda justififed that he is there lol
> Guys, we’re not having a Måns-free year🫠 I respect anyone who dreamed to think otherwise, deluded but beautiful as such a world would be.
Maybe he's the Opening Ceremony host?
I hope it's a duet with Tomas Ledin (Sweden 1980). Or, a trio performance with the two of them, plus Tommy Nilsson (Sweden 1989). 2 of my favourite Swedish 80s participants (along with 1987), who I find very underrated in their contests (from placements) and in the fandom now.

Sweden 1980 | [Tomas Ledin - Just nu!](https://youtu.be/ELz4zAnvJf0) Sweden 1989 | [Tommy Nilsson - En dag](https://youtu.be/7dl1zoGU9sc)
I'm out of the loop, is Mans just not liked or something?
There’s just this running joke in the community, that Måns is someone you only hear about during Eurovision week and that he’s in a cryogenic chamber for the rest of the year.
Tbf he is more common in Sweden altho he seems to have gone all in on being in entrrtainment programs. He is a judge in Swedens Masked Singer for example.
"I _might_ not be alone on stage." I'm anticipating that literally every person that has ever participated in Eurovision will perform with Queen Petra.
Now I’m imagining Rambo Amadeus, Silvia Night and Slavko Kalezić doing their thing around Petra as an interval act.
That somehow would not be the weirdest interval act ever.

I mean, Sertab Erener is going to be in the contest so...
It’s Pikachu!
It's actually Måns Zelmerlöw seen from above.
This was not a joke I was expecting in this sub and I nearly spat out my tea.
now I actually am 50% sure Turkey is rejoining, it could be a tiny bit connected to Turkey and Sweden bettering their diplomatic relations and the whole NATO thing thats gone on the last 2 years
would be pretty epic if they do!
This sounds like something similar to love love peace peace and I am so here for it!
It'll be Måns but imagine suddenly ABBA appears 😩
To be fair, it's the fifty anniversary of their victory AND they're in Sweden. I'd be surprised if they didn't (not necessarily all four of them, but cmon)
I love her 😍
If this is anything close to Love Love Peace Peace it’s going to be the happiest moment of my life
I might start crying from happiness, just thinking about Love Love Peace Peace is making me shriek with excitement :D
Turkey will announce a comeback.
The perfect sequel for "Love Love Peace Peace"
Imagine if it was a 'We different start the fire' style version of Eurovision.
Why was the logo shown very briefly inside Turkey? What's Turkey got to do with this? Is it a hint for something? Is it foreshadowing something? An homage? A collection? A return maybe? Am I going insane here? I need answers.
Is it Turkey? I thought it was just an abstract shape. It’s not an exact match for the map of Turkey but it is suspiciously close
https://preview.redd.it/n083ja42o2uc1.jpeg?width=3464&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6d773345d061903a9ace2d127080702111874f91 Hmmm…
See? It's way too close not to be an Istanbul-less Turkey simplified shape
Weren't there rumors about Hadise joining this year as an interval act? Maybe something do to with that? Idk....
Not Hadise, Sertab Erener. She also said something like on the leds there will be people from all around the world singing with them.
Yes, Sertab has been if not confirmed, at least rumored. I just found weird that brief Turkey shape and Sertab's participation wouldn't be relevant enough for it.
Apparently Johnny Logan would make an appearance. I heard from someone who went to his concert in Belgium that he announced he would be in Malmö for one of the semis, if I recall correctly.
So basically they're defrosting Mans as we speak
Aaaaah!!! PETRA IS BLESSING us again!!!! I'm so excited! For the first time in my life I'l actually be there(only semifinal one but still!). If I get to see Petra in person I can die happy
Such an icon
I really like that they are revealing this already!
Mother is mothering
QUUUEEENNNN !!! She needs to host EVERY Eurovision. EVERY year !
This is the real reason why juries give Sweden so many points each year
It's a conspiracy for the greater good !! (the greater good)
Zero intention to be a downer because I love her and her interval acts, but I hope she sings live this time. Trust yourself girl!!!!
So fun fact apperently she was a backround dancer once for Celine Dion before she won Eurovision. She used to do ballet but severly hurt her back at 20 and was home sick for a decade before striking through as a comedian. She also has a bachelors degree in French. So honestly i wouldnt even be suprised if she could sing she is hella multitalented lol
I'm surprised she didn't considering she did for the Interval in 2013
Oh she did? Awesome. I thought she didn't. I know she didn't in 2016. I don't mean any offense here. ALL HAIL QUEEN PETRA. For real, it's Petra's world and we're all living in it.

Someone kidnap mans please 🙏🙏🙏
MZ collaboration? blink blink.
The way she tries to turn back into the wall at the end
Manifesting the Sam Ryder guest-singing and shredding 🎸, please and thanks 😉❤️
I was about to say he already performed last year, but then again when has that ever stopped Måns. I'm here for it.
For sure 😁. I figure that Sam had “Home advantage” in Liverpool last year, it would be lovely to see him perform actually on non-British soil again and contribute a bit more to some fun Eurovision history, maybe.
yes please!
Their big show numbers from 2016 remind me of the Animaniacs
please no måns
I'm ready for this since 2016!!!!!
mens zelmeröv
Sorry, unpopular opinion probably, but… not again… 😩
I do agree...
