So far Swedish media are pushing for profit expectations.

The Swedish Eurovision Song Contest Finnish -Swedish Kaj took a final place as expected last night in the first semifinals of the Eurovision Song Contest. Kaj has enjoyed the top of betting statistics after his melodifestivalen victory and has conquered hearts all over Europe.
After the semifinal results are confirmed, Swedish media shines on how to slowly understand a Finnish inheritance in Sweden: pessimism and a kind of self -belittling.
Swedish Broadcasting Company SVT, among other things, titled how exactly Kaj has taught Sweden the importance of low expectations. Also Aftonbladet supplier Markus Larsson In his comment, the Finnish attitude is pondering.
– Don’t worry, it can still go to hell, the title of the comment is.
Larsson recalls how the Swedish finals were as expected. Sweden has not been left out of the visa final for 15 years, and there was no risk of breaking tradition this year.
– But now it’s time to adopt a more Finnish attitude.
He writes how Kaj has been shamelessly fun so far and everything has gone smoothly. Kaj is still roasting at the top of betting statistics and it is possible that Sweden is fighting for gold.
However, Larsson recalls how the second semifinal is still to be seen, as is the performances of Austria and France following, for example, after the top.
– Nothing is clear. The competition has not even begun and everything may be different on Thursday. It would be best to calculate expectations minus eleven and think more like Finland: if something can go to hell, it goes to hell. Then you are happier, Larsson ponders.
In a worried tone Expressen supplier Maria Brander.

He reminds us right out of the box that even though the stress is gone and the sauna brothers in Basel, he is likely to expect harder challenges in the finals: “Like a giant Finnish orgasm or the most thrilling vocal cords in Austria.”
Brander admits that it is a bit difficult for him to understand the international warmth he encountered by Kaj. He recalls that the Swedes have sent a “exotic, Swedish contribution” to the race.
However, the sincerity and heat of Kaj members have conquered, even so that the Basel Arena cheered on terry towels and campfire sausages shaking. However, Brander wonders how far playfulness is.
– The next semifinals will have a much tougher competition. Finland literally comes. On top of a huge phallar microphone. Austrian JJ mixed the opera and techno using unrealistic sound areas.
Brander also reminds many of Belgian surprise drops. Swedish journalists point out how anything can happen and the game has not yet been played.
– I’m worried that Kaj’s true magnitude will probably be overlooked in most of Europe.
Brander cannot help but think about how only the differences in the Vöyr dialect and Finnish -Swedish, for example, may be the nuance that is overlooked in Europe and can become the fate of Sweden in the finals.
