Anton om bidraget:
- Min låt kom till när jag satt med låtskrivarna i en studiosession. Vi kom på den här klockrena melodislingan för refrängen, och då kändes det bara som att vi hade låten, där satt den. Det blir fart, mycket dans, mycket energi, och jag kommer att ge mitt allt. - บันเทิง
Why is no one talking about the amazing high level dance and singing at the same time!? 😯
People only complain about his singing, they don't realize how difficult it is to dance that much and sing at the same time
@Laurie Springquist He has a back up singer but he does sing live. I believe everything live but I'm not sure.
@@misterp4865 There’s playback of his own voice with auto tune in every chorus.
THIS IS SWEDEN!😂😊
Well in ESC he cant use pre-recorded voice...
I cant even imagine how hard it is to dance like him and sing such not an easy song at the same time. Amazing show really. He deserve to be in top 5 for sure, why put him so low rate odds??
Remember it is pundits meaning it is unlikely the international jury will give him any points according to odds
I really don't understand why he is so low in the odds? If this act doesn't win I will be very surprised, it has the best package by a mile.
the backing vocals are so loud you that you really can't hear what HE is singing in the chorus (this was clearly seen in the semi when he performed after being announced as finalist, and the song kept going even when he wasn't moving his mouth at all)
one could even state that he only sings the verses and lets the backing vocals do the chorus
@@staren1991 It is allowed though? For me it doesn't take anything away from the performance.
@@lfctorres5777 considering it's a participant for eurovision SONG contest ? noooo, not at all a problem....
One of the best entries this year. I don't think it will win but hope it does well in the final.
He doesn’t even sing, but okay...
@@saxaren1133 we must have not seen the same video then
@@Mat2000IPAD Yep, I guess you didn’t see it live when he was so emotional and stopped singing, but the song continued just as normal when he was standing there crying. He’s a really good dancer tho.
@@saxaren1133 I did see it, but the fact that he stopped singing doesn’t make the song worse. In this video he clearly shows that he can sing the song just fine.
@@Mat2000IPAD Why can’t people understand music...
sweden knows how to stage a song very well
@@agnesdahlstrom9403 lol ta det lungt
True. Both the lasers, the dance routine and Anton Ewald`s costume is as perfect as it gets to the song and the occasion. It is almost a miracle he has the air to sing, performing a dance routine like that in-between. Eric Saade kept the dancing less energetic, leaving him more breath to sing. For me, despite there are many good entries this year - far more than there is room for in the final, and some of them even out already - it is between Anton Ewald or Eric Saade. If either of those win, it is 12 points from me in Rotterdam.
@@Tvjunkieful12 Couldn't have said it any better myself! Completely agree. This act is sooo difficult to perform with that much dancing, and the song is a banger!
@@Tvjunkieful12 He is very good but barely sings in the chorus. In the semi when he performed the song again after being DTF, he was so happy so there was one time when he didn’t sing at all and just laughed and you could hear the backtrack or what it’s called with no difference.
@@elmexelmex To me that is not important. Had it been live on a stage somewhere that backing would have been done by a backing singer. The best of them are very good at copying the voice of the star they are helping vocally, so when the star and the back up singer sing the same, it sounds like the star sings in a more powerful voice, and thereby better copy the recorded version of the song where the actual star`s voice is "doubled up" with a second recording of the star`s voice simply because the chorus sound better then. Here they used a recording of Ewald`s own voice. But it is tv, so what does it matter. With the energy needed for his dance routine, I am impressed he is able to sing at all. He should jog or swim a lot before, should he win, he went to Rotterdam - in addition to rehearse singing the song and performing the choreography at the same time. If he wins Melo, that is what he has to focus on in the weeks ahead. Not waste time and energy to do any changes to the number or costumes, just rehearse it as it is, and get it in the physical shape to be able to not only perform it to perfection, but to feel confident he will perform it to perfection.
The song deserved the final but for me the best moment of the night was seeing how emotional he got when he was called. It was so deserved!
I think this is the sleekest performance this year. He was so genuinely happy to make it directly into the final, all I want him to do now is win the whole damn thing. He is super likeable and the song is awesome!
Ändå rätt så roligt att han har haft samma bakgrundsdansare varje år i mello
& det måste han fortsätta med!
Det är super bra!❤️
Låt honom???
@@agnesdahlstrom9403 Jag sa aldrig nej! Jo han får ladda upp Dotters låt men Anton var bättre
Alla 2 gånger
Seems like winning Melodifestivalen more harder than Eurovision.
Yeah. 😄
True
That's usually the case.
So true. Melo is usually more stronger than the Eurovision
@@EuroViz Agreed.
Why is no one talking about this one? It's so damn catchy I would be fine with this winning
Yesss exactly
I can't understand it either. Odds are 101/1 to win, wtf?
He is one of my favourites.
Tusse is winning im sorry its no competition
@@williamandersson9868 u sure?
After years of being a songwriter bts great to see Anton finally back on stage!
THE NOSTALGIA IS HEAVY AS HELL AND I LOVE THAT
Winner Alert!!He is Amazing!!
I have a soft spot for Anton: I love his entries and dance routines. My Top 3 this year! ❤️
Thank you for coming back, dude!
Sweden knows how to make songs that are catchy as hell
sweden knows how to steal songs.. YoungBlood?
@@cemkorkmaz6245 I don't find them close sounding
@@theofficialdetectivepikach3262 same
Its only a little bit in the backround beat that is a little bit close but what he is singing is not close at all. it does not sound similar to young blood
Really! I'm Italian, I watched both Melodifestivalen and Sanremo finals yet a few songs from Melodifestivalen stuck into my mind right away (good or not, this was definitely one of those), while I can't say the same about our own selection...
Don't make same mistake againt Sweeden, send Anton to ESC this year! This guy deserves chance to be heard all over Europe/World!!!
Grettings from Serbia🇷🇸
Agree 100%, i won't understand if this doesn't win
This is my fave of all of Melfest this year. I'm glad there are others who feel the same.
When did sweden make a misstake?
@@alexhdravs3105 In 2013 for example. Listen and watch "Beggin'" by Anton Ewald.
My dad is Swedish and mom is Serbian brate🇷🇸🤝🇸🇪
Sweden always got the hottest guys... Anton, Eric, Efraim and Danny...
Absolutely, but what about Alvaro?
Stephanie L oh yes. He is handsome too.
@@ESCSteph Want to know something crazy? Alvaro Estrella, who was in the song Vamos Amigos last year together with Mendez, is just five years younger than him.
@@DracoRemixer Alvaro is only 5 years younger than Mendez? Huh, wouldn't have thought that. I would've thought more like 10 years tbh.
haha yeaaaa
I dont care who's Mamas or Dotter or Eric... look at this man!!!!!🔥❤🔥 And I love the song too.
My winner 2021, I just love u, Anton
It's insane how little points this got, I was so sure he would be in the top 5
yeah i feel in general it was a very tough field with alot of good songs and alot of Mello royalty who automagically draw points whatever they make.
He cannot sing though all that well. Saade is like Jason Derulo next to Anton, lol.
@@jutjubow you must be joking... Eric sade cant hold a tone to save his life without autotune. Anton has the looks , the charisma, the voice and the moves
So catchy! Marvelous staging! Charming performer!
The BEST song and performance ever in Melodifestivalen this year!
WIN THIS, ANTON!
From Indonesia.
This is a masterpiece! Well performed and really catchy. He’s hella underrated and I wish only the best for him in the final ❤️👏
So sad that this didn’t win I loved this song!!!💞💭
Oj, vad snyggt gjort! Älskar denna låt, favoriten i år.😍
Den måste vinna😍
vinnarlåten
@@idaschram7073 exat
@@adamjonsson1817 är också jätte bra
@@idaschram7073 fyfan säger ja
When Melodifestivalen has better songs than the actual eurovision...
ang MGP too.
@@brooklynrock5518 rip Keiino :(((((
@@Polyglot02 i supported Jorn, KiiM and Keiino.
@@brooklynrock5518 Those three were all really good. I was so disappointed with the results though because I absolutely loved Spirit in the Sky and then when Monument was released I was so shook because I even prefer it over Spirit in the Sky. So when TIX won I was so sad haha, plus the Norwegian version is WAY better than the English one!!
@@Polyglot02 norwegian version is better, that's truth. But this is the second selection (after MF) where there is competition.
I love his dancing with the same dancers from Begging
My winner and hopefully Sweden's too!! ❤️❤️
Such a catchy song with an amazing staging. I hope it wins but I don't think it will.
I love his song and he's moves
Gosh
Jag älskar dig Anton!
Alltså vilket proffs han är på scen. ett helt paket !
har du sett när han sjunger om låten?
@@kompisjonas2945 visst, det framträdandet var väldigt oproffsigt utfört, men han är fortfarande jävligt proffsig
@@oldplayc9391 vadå vad har han gjort eller va?
när han gick till final och uppträdde med sin låt för andra gången så sjöng han bara i början av låten, sen så dansade han bara, eftersom att han blev så glad och känslosam. Detta tyckte många var oproffsigt, något liknade har jag själv aldrig sätt i Melodifestivalen efter att nån gått till final. Det är inte hela världen men han gjorde däremot bort sig 😏 men han är fortfarande bäst i Sverige på att dansa i världsklass och samtidigt sjunga✨
@@oldplayc9391 ahaaa nu fattar jag tack!
With so many religious on Eurovision so far, I wouldn't be surprised if this won.
These dance Moves tho
The fact that this is not even a favorite says a lot about the quality in Melodifestivalen
For sure. This is an unbelievably good year. So many countries would love to have this as their ESC entry.
@@ESCSteph I think the overall quality wasn’t as good as last year but the finalists are incredible
@@antonmarc3073 Yeah, I haven't really thought much about the non-finalists from last year (other than Klara's entry which I absolutely love), but I definitely agree that this year's finalists are much better than last year's.
@@ESCSteph To be fair, I don’t remember all of the songs from last year but Klara‘s song or Surface and Molnljus were really nice
Don't complain about his singing, of course it's not gonna be perfect after that much dancing. This should represent Sweden at ESC.
But he almost always sings bad live, even when he’s not dancing. He doesn’t just sing badly because he’s out of breath, he’s just singing flat much of the time and hitting the wrong notes completely. Those high notes are painful and embarassing, and he needs playback for almost the entire song. He even sings flat in the beginning of the song, BEFORE he starts dancing. You’re just making excuses. This sounds like bad kareoke. Anton is just not much of a singer. He used to be a dancer so it makes sense that he can’t sing. Without his good looks he surely would never have been succesfull, even for the short time period that he was. And there are many artists who can dance and sing at the same time, such as Justin Timberlake, Bruno Mars, and swedish artist Darin. And Benjamin Ingrosso for that matter (better than Anton at least). Even Justin Bieber can mostly sing well while dancing. Singing while dancing is like the first thing that you learn when you join a boyband because otherwise how are you suppose to go on tour and sing while dancing for 3 hours every week for 8 months straight? Even if dancing makes you sing a bit worse cuz you’re out of breath, an artist should still be able to sing better than Anton, and many artists can (like I listed). It’s pretty basic stuff to sound OKAY at least while dancing. He’s not even out of breath really, it’s not that intense dancing. And he sang pretty okay on Begging even though there was way more dancing there, because the notes were easier in general. With Natural and New religion, he just picked songs that required too much singing skill for him. It’s not about the dancing. He sings terribly while standing still also, look it up. The guy is just tone deff. I bet he couldn’t sing this very song much better even if he was standing still. He will probably perform it live while standing still later, so we’ll see. But in the future he really shouldn’t perform songs that he can’t sing without auto tune. I miss the old days of Melodifestivalen when all artists could sing. Now there are so many young trendy artists that can’t sing at all but are still accepted in to the competition and voted for.
@@lelidawi2446 But isn't Melodifestivalen also a show? Aren't we supposed to vote for the best PERFORMANCE, not only the best SINGER? And really, Antons singing is not that bad. If he just could attack those notes at the end a bit differently then this would be awesome.
@@lfctorres5777 The quiet low parts before he starts dancing are terribly flat too. And people can vote for whatever they want, but in my opnion a perfomance can’t be vey good when the singing is literally painful. If he was in Idol or Talang the jury would crush him and everyone at home would laugh.
Absolutely NOT. That would be a disaster.
So underrated. Great performance and great song 👌🏻
Albania 🇦🇱: Karma (Hinduism)
Cyprus 🇨🇾: El Diablo
Slovenia 🇸🇮: Amen
Austria 🇦🇹: Amen
Finland 🇫🇮: Dark Side
Norway 🇳🇴: Fallen Angel
Czech Republic 🇨🇿: Omaga
Sweden 🇸🇪: New Religion???
France would have joined the club if they chose Alleluia instead of Voilà
@@NRDwho voila is also religious related actually
@@NRDwho they wouldve joined if they actually sang in english for once..
Netherlands 🇳🇱: Birth Of A New Age
Sounds religious too
this was so damn underrated
I know it's also a matter of taste, but I strongly believe he deserved way more than coming second-to-last with such little points...The song is really nice and the choreography is so on point!
Here all alone in the darkness
Won't you come play on my weakness?
You know I'm here and I feel it, come on
When we collide like a car crash
You're my condition, my whiplash
Comin' alive when we're in distortion
When the lights are low
Oh, it's callin'
I can hear your
Distorted heartbeat play with mine
Baby, don't kill the rhythm
Baby, don't kill the rhythm
Do what you want to, I don't mind
We found a new religion
Baby, don't kill the rhythm
You kick me down like four to the floor
I come alive every time your
Distorted heartbeat play with mine
We found a new religion
Baby, don't kill the rhythm
Ain't got no time for no silence
The sound of your voice is my guidance
You're always there when I need it, come on
You know that you're my addiction
You got me lovin' this friction
Comin' alive when we're in distortion
When the lights are low
Oh, it's callin'

I love it. Good luck from Spain!! ❤️🇪🇸🇸🇪
”Smatter, smatter, smatter”
Yeah I was singing to the song 🤔😍
Love you Anton
WHY ISNT ANYONE TALKING ABOUT HIS FACE?! I’d wote for that face in any competition.
He is unbelievably attractive 😍
Tyckte ändå om denna, alla låtar jag har hört av honom har varit riktigt bra
Bästa låten i år, sjuk i huvet... på ett positivt sätt, hoppas den vinner😁👍
Håller med! :)
we need to cancel Swedes music taste for only giving this 16 points, ARVINGARNA GOT MORE THAN HIM😭🤚what is wrong with y’all?
Jag gissar att de olika kategorierna spelade en stor roll i detta...främst barn och äldre röstade på arvingarna
För att han sjunger falskt
as a Swede, I’m very disappointed lol, Anton was awesome!
@@tangtang_514 Barn röstade ju bara på anton lol
@@lines626 hur sjunger han falskt du är helt borta
Stort lycka till, vilken prestation!!!!
My winner so far... Lycka till från Filippinerna, Anton Ewald! 🇵🇭❤️🇸🇪
Most underrated song 😔
ANTON❤️❤️
Kommer tillbaks till Mello o gör det med storm!!!
Självklart gör han de Wilma🥺vår lilla gottegris😂😘
Anton Ewald vinner Melodifestivalen 2021🏆
his stage presence is mindblowing, his dance moves are stunning, his performance overall is awesome, just his voice sometimes cracks a bit, not the best singer of the edition but one of the bests performers
I would really like to see this song in Eurovision, it have a good chance and might win, it deffently won my heart
Great song!
Banger.
Best song in Melodifestivalen 2021. No matter what they say !!
didnt got this song at first but now obsessed!!
HUR ORKAR HAN SJUNGA JÄTTE FINT OCH DANSA!?🔥 HAN ÄR VINNAREN
Det var ju precis det han inte orkade :D
min favorit
Wow great song and dance
For some reasons this is my favorite by far. Are these the same background dancers as in begging?ohhhhh
Exact same guys, yeah :)
Amazing
Did he just say “In the night I want you to play with my wenis?” 😳
I heard that too. 😂
It's his type of religion
Such an amazing performance. For sure he has to be the winner…SWEDISH PEOPLE you know what to do
Suprised how good this was, and he is too beautiful. Great dancer!
Melodifestivalen could be the whole Eurovision!
Snälla Sverige låt denna låten gå långt
Vilket proffs han är, helt jäkla fantastisk! Hoppas så att han tar hem hela skiten!!
Nästan min favorit låt tycker jag
Han ska vinna, älskar han
Underrated in the odds, although I also love The Mamas and Tusse and think that either of them would win. I love this song so much and can't imagine myself if this song wins and gets to represent Sweden this year.
He brought the same dancers from 2013 and 2014
I think those guys are on a permanent contract with Melfest 😂
It's because anton was a dancer too! They were always dancing together i suppose they are anton's closest friends
this is one of the most underrated of the final. my second fave of the final behind dotter. 3/4/2021
So underrated!
Bästa låten!!!! Om inte han vinner så vet jag inte längre
Min favorit😍😍.
I love you Anton 💘❤️💪 ¡Great hit!
It's nice to have you back ✨ ¡Good luck in the grand final!
this still slaps so hard
this guy deserves to win for his dance moves alone.
Begging, natural och den sista och bästa NEW RELIGION❤️
This is actually great.. he sings well and dances amazingly at the same time
I think people are sleeping on this masterpiece. They need to send this to Rotterdam!
Liquid legs...best effortless dance moves ever.
This is the one. Yay!
En klar vinnare för mig!
lycka till Sverige, från Finland🇫🇮
Bästa låten någonsin!!!😍😍
This is absolutely amazing. Sweden you have to send him! I’ve always been a huge Eric fan and feel like such a traitor now but this is an awesome track
Älskar dina låter 💗💗
UNDERRATED
Bästa låten i hela världen som finns. Jag kan inte sluta tänka på den här låten den är så mycket bra. Han ÄR ju såklart måste ha vunnit men han gjorde inte det tusse va ju vinnaren.
So emotional voice
Perfect choreography
Amazing
Älskar dig Anton ewald
Kan fortfarande inte fatta ett år senare varför han inte vann!!!😭😫💔
I keep coming back to this

What is this? The guy is dancing and singing hard that footwork 👣 sick it's hard to do! Props 👍🏾
So gooddd pls plss vote plsss
well, basically there are two possible entries that could pull a "Benjamin Ingrosso 2018"-ish moment:
-Anton Ewald's "New Religion" (this) from an English song
-Danny Saucedo's "Dandi Dansa" from a Swedish song (and I hope he doesn't translate his song if he wins)
Girl there ain’t a chance that Danny wins-
Jag kan svenska men gud ville inte att de skulle bli konstigt:)
@@lovesicxkk There is a big chance that he wins.
@@Plommon007 There’s actually 0% chance he wins. There are 4 contenders and Danny is not one of them.
