All of that was done live without audience. No cutting at all, such a great production of Melodifestivalen.

This is live and this was his performance. No audience because of Covid/19 With this song he want to reach out to the lonely ones like himself. Tusse was a refrugee from Congo, he came alone without his parents to Sweden as a five year old ❤️

Everything is recorded live without an audience. Sweden rarely do an official video for their artist. This is pretty much the staging and performance that we will see in Rotterdam.

The boss for the Melodifestivalen, Christer Björkman has a new project, and that is to create a US version of Eurovision, each state willl have an entry.

I think Sweden was able to become the world's third-largest exporter of popular music because of its educational system that fosters creativity and strong copyright protection.

It's insane how well he was able to sell this song even without an audience. If this is his stage presence when singing to an empty room, I seriously can't imagine what he's like when he has people to feed off.

This is actually his first big performance since he won Idol two years ago. He has been in school instead, just as he should. ❤️

It’s fun that they react to a show from Sweden and especially when u live in Sweden😌

"Melodifestivalen" or "Mello" would translate to "Melody Festival". The purpose of the competition is to nominate Sweden's representative for the European music competition Eurovision Song Contest. Not sure if this information has been relayed already but, here it is otherwise! Thanks for the video, enjoyed it!

Yeeees thank you🤩🤩 have been waiting for this video🥳💙

Fun fact... Australia is one of the competing countries since a few years back. They were invited to vote at first, as guests, ( I'm not sure if I remember the details accurately) and the year after they were invited in the competition. I believe it was because the show was so popular in Australia.

Sweden almost ALWAYS take the Live Version from the Final to be our "original Music Video" = the videoclip to present to the World... In Sweden we don't really like Music Videos in the EuroVisionSongContest...... We like live singing cause it gets more close to you, more feelings, more personal...

Thank you for reacting to Eurovision ❤️ And saying so nice things about it! Not many Americans understand how big it really is! You should react to more Eurovision performances, both the most famous ones and the new ones from this year 🥰

Thank you for this! This was a live performance. In Eurovision everything counts, song, singer, performance, staging...it gets top scores in all from me. 😊

Tusse won Swedish Idol December 6th 2019. He is born January 1st, 2002. So he was 17, and a less than a month from turning 18, when he won Idol. He was 16 when he was on Talang.

You two are the best in making reactions in music ! ! !

So good you bring Eurovision to the notis :)

No audience was allowed during the 6 show event (aired on six consecutive Saturdays) of Melodifestivalen. The performance seen here was the entry in Melodifesrivalen. No music video of the song has been made.

Tusse was the winner of Idol Sweden 2020. Same year Caspar was in it!!!

You are a bit wrong, the Eurovision Song Contest hasn’t been sent yet, only the countries own finals has been sent! The video you saw was the live performance from Sweden’s Song Contest. There was NO AUDIENCE at this live broadcast. You could maybe listen to Sweden’s winners for 2020 and react to. Search for “Melodifestivalen” and “vinnare”. Maybe you should also know that “Tusse” came as a lonely child from Congo when he was 8 years old, he escaped from the wars. Lives with a Swedish family since then. Unfortunately he lost his parents during his travels to Sweden. We are proud to have him represent our country in the Eurovision Song Contest 2021. I think he has really blossomed since he came to Sweden ❤️. I interpret the lyrics as the people that are stuck in the war zone still 😰

There vere NO audiens at all in Melodifestivalen because of the covid. So they decided to make like a video for every artist that competed and somehow made a liveperformance out of it! 😊

No, there where no audience. But the artists did do live performances. There where a live show every week whit presenters and artists. They where all tested and the where a lot off rules that had to be followed

I am from Sweden and I am so proud now because I voted for him and it’s sooo good.

Tusse is 19 years old, lives whit like foster familly, in little place in Sweden, came to Sweden from war zone and has been builled. That was his performence, he won whit. There has always been a rule, that not are aloud be longer songs then 3 minutes. So its not easy to win and that short time to give a show... A tip, Check in Finlands winner this years, its hardrock/ metal and they won one year whit Lordi, Monsters plays hardrock... whit the song Hardrock Hadelujah...👏

Love your reactions! No audience and that was the live performance.

This is not an official video, it is his official performance. They pretty much did it the way it would have done it with an audience, although there was none. When Caspar was in the Swedish idol, there was an audience of 50 people.

You're my favourite KZreadr's! :)

Swedish composers and music producers have took part in composition and producing K POP idols' songs since late 2000s. I think it contributed the globalization of K POP. My most favorite Swedish music producers are Andreas Oberg and Cazzi Opeia. Andreas Oberg took part in composition of Red Velvet's Umpas Umpah, Monsta X's Follow and Oh my girl's Windy Day and so on. Cazzi Opeia took part in the composition of TWICE's Dance the night away, ITZY's ICY, Red Velvet's Psycho and so on. Zara Larsson is one of composers of TWICE's More & More. Swedish Ambassador to Korea was proud that Swedish music producers participated in composition of K POP idols' hit songs.

Others has probably said this already, but still x) This was 100% his live performance 😊 They solved it this year by only having audience via videolink, so about a hundred or more screens of people watching from home, and no audience in the studio. And that's probably how they will solve Eurovision too, but with the contestants and crews as the in house audience. But this is very much how the stages usually looks during the performances of the Melody festival. Pyrotechnics and lasershows isn't uncommon, as well ass amazing animated backgrounds, kameraeffects and lightsettings, everything live 😊 I really love this song and performance, and I was so happy that Tusse won ❤ He's a refugee, not sure from where, but he came to Sweden alone when he was very young. He mentioned that he connected this song with that experience, which just makes it even more amazing to me.

You know that everyone in Sweden was worried about him? He was actually sick from cold during this. Bur he still nailed it!!!

5:49 i love that thing hes doing!

Ps, you are very likeable and therefore I decided to respond. His performances are so stunning. I did understand a few words of the Swedish Jury. Heartfelt, fantastic, very touching, you are a diamant 💎 and you know how to deeply connect to the song and your partner you sing with. Have a great night.

Tussen was my pick, I couldn't believe the right song finally won! And it's melodiiiifestivalen.

When he tried to say Melodifestivalen it sounded more like a spell from Harry potter haha.

3:36 Confusion there. No, the song isn't the same, just that one line of the lyrics is the same. But then, there were Swedes behind Polina's song too.

Tusse got my attention on the first semi finals a few days ago. I am Dutch and it is in a big stadion in Rotterdam. Yes we absolutely have a huge audience, and the regulations are very strict but apparently everyone was approved to enter. On Saturday 9Pm so 3pm New York time is the finals. His suit on the stage was even more stylish. I watched several of his performances and he is an amazing singer :) His name Toussin means Toussaints, or Allsaints. For the EVSF it is very likely that France will win, a really fabulous French old Ballad like Edith Piaf. Your comments are really great although I would prefer them before or after the song, just my two cents. ;-) enjoy Saturday.

Say it right... 😂 It's not a "singing competition".. It's a songwriting competition, which include artist singing, and performance and such. But in the base, it's a SONGWRITING competition.

I can update you that Tusse & Sweden end up in 14:e place of 26 with 109 points & Italy won the Final

In this year's Eurovision, they had a real audience in Rotterdam and everyone in the audience was COVID tested before they could sit as an audience.

John, it's not true that you don't have Eurovision on tv, the logo channel broadcasts the show at sometime in may. I don't know the date it's still there.

Tusse won not only bc of this song and his voice but what it represent, idk if you know the meaning of this song but its about coming together and to be accepted, also how he felt like an outsider experiencing rasism and his journey from the war in Kongo kinshasa as a 7 year old with his aunt in a refugee camp in Uganda and his struggles with coming to sweden. Its about hope and how he wish everyone to be who they are and that everyone matters.

No that’s live from “mello” 😉

If you want to see all the Swedish Melodifestivalen, you can go to; www.svtplay.se/ There are this year's Swedish songs. At the Melodifestivalen open archive, all songs from 2004 onwards are available.

This was live.

Just call it Mello, we all call it that in Sweden. Yes Melodifestivalen is a lot of letters, but it's really two words clumpt together, Melody Festival. just say Mello and you are right on the spot.

Superbowl had 114 million viewers in 2015, but it´s less now, 96 million. Eurovision has had 200 million viewers (2016), and in 2019 there were 182 million viewers. So Eurovision is much, much bigger than superbowl. But the Olympics usually have more viewers, and special events like weddings and funerals of certain people. But Eurovision is the biggest annual televised non-sporting event.

Why not just say Melody festival? Not that different.

I just have to comment on the covid part. We have strict recommendations here in Sweden. Compare it to democracy and a dictatorship. We are told how to act, to work from home if possible, not go to pubs, etc while many countries force, put laws up so that their citizens stay indoors, etc. Sweden rises and falls on the intelligence and stupidity of its citizens during covid.

This didn't win Eurovision 2021 wth

Noooooooooooooo, misconception. We have very strict rules and most entertainment events are completely closed down since last year. It was max 50 ppl in a room, and max 8 ppl knowing each other at one table, until oct last year. Then everything closed down to 4 ppl, no serving of alcohol after 8.00 PM and no entertainment what so ever. There's also very strict policys about keeping distance and shops all have strict limits to how many people can visit at the same time. Do I agree? NO! Because now it's too late to stop the spread anyway, and keeping people (est 200 000 ppl in Sweden) in the restaurant and entertainment business unemployed and in many cases without any kind of economic help causing people to lose their homes and life long investments in their businesses. I'm a DJ at 52 and have no way to support my family since the last restrictions were enforced upon us. I managed to stay clear from covid as long as I were out there working, but as soon as I was confined in my home for a few weeks (''stay home, stay safe'' what a joke!), I got it from my partner who works at a care facility for elderly people. Fortunately the whole family got good genes, so none of us got sick, at all. All the performances at melodifestivalen were live, but without an audience of course. So all the credits to the artists and the stage crew who made it look like a pre recorded music video.
