ESC 25.05.2002 - 25.05.2012

Today's my birthday! Well not my real birthday. My real birthday is on Monday (yeah I was born in the ESC month! :D). Today I become a 10-year-old eurofan!! And the ladies in the photo are probably the main reason! My lovely Afro-Dite gave me my all time favourite swedish entry, "Never Let It Go"! I've said this so many times so I'm sure you know it's my favourite!

Wow 10 years! Here you can read more about how it all began. Damn I need to fix that text a bit. The way it looks now is a bit scary! I mean it's a big text! I doubt if anyone will sit and read that! hehe

Anyway Happy ESC Birthday to me!!! :D xD

Melodifestivalen 2012 - First semi - Results

Photo: Olle Kirchmeier/SVT © svt.se

First semi is over! Mixed feelings! I am SUPER-EXCITED coz Loreen made it to the final! I'm gonna see her live in Globen!!!!!! :D

But, Afro-Dite finished 5th! 5th! Not even in andra chansen!!!!!! :( :( AAAAAAAAAH!!!

Second finalist were Dead by April (meh). Sean Banan and Thorsten Flinck went to andra chansen.

Marie Serneholt finished 6th :(, Abalone Dots 7th and the Moniker 8th.

That's it! GRRRR Sweden! No Afro-Dite?

Melodifestivalen 2012 - The full songs of heat 1 in Växjö!

Here are the full songs of tonight's semi!!

1. Sean Den Förste Banan - Sean Banan
I still don't like this but I'm a bit afraid of this...

2. På väg - Abalone Dots
Ok I actually like this! The full version is really nice. Not for the ESC but I like it. I like country!

3. I Want To Be Chris Isaak (This Is Just The Beginning) - The Moniker
Again, better than last year's song but still not my favourite.

4. The Boy Can Dance - Afro-Dite 
"Never Let It Go" reloaded!!! But kinda more fresh (I can't believe I'm saying this!). "Never Let It Go" is my all time favourite swedish entry and "The Boy Can Dance" sounds better to my ears! People say it's outdated. Ok maybe a bit and that's because schlager is in a coma (remember? In a coma. NOT dead!) in Eurovision. But I don't care! I.ADORE.IT.

5. Mystery - Dead by April
Can we just get rid of the guy with the "monster" voice? I always hate that in songs. It ruins the song!

6. Salt & Pepper - Marie Serneholt
I like this a lot! But I find a bit annoying the "salt & pepper, salt & pepper, salt & pepper pepper"... :S

7. Jag reser mig igen - Thorsten Flinck och Revolutionsorkestern
I'm sorry I couldn't finish this. I just can't listen to this!

8. Euphoria - Loreen
Thank God Loreen is the one to close the first heat! Just send her to Baku people!! I'm gonna vote for her tonight!

Less than 4 hours left! :D
Då kör vi!

Melodifestivalen 2012 - Snippets of the first rehearsals - Semi 1 Växjö

It's time to blog! I waited until SVT uploaded all of the snippets. We're good to go now. ;)

1. Sean Den Förste Banan - Sean Banan
Ok... Don't like this. Joke entry although the music is quite "melodifestivalen". But a big big NO!

2. På väg - Abalone Dots
A bit boring I'd say... But not a bad song. It won't work on ESC though.

3. I Want To Be Chris Isaak (This Is Just The Beginning) - The Moniker
Ok better than last year! Thank God! But still not my cup of tea. I don't see him in the final one way or another. Unlike last year.

4. The Boy Can Dance - Afro-Dite
My girls!! Yeah baby! The descriptions they gave didn't let me down! Love love LOOOOOVE IT!!! Catchy and DISCO!! Too bad we don't have a video of the rehearsal yet (one of them was wearing a t-shirt with a company's logo or something and SVT didn't want to promote the company for free). I just want them in Globen! Nothing else! I just want to see them performing this live. In. Globen. Please?

5. Mystery - Dead by April
 It's good to have different gernes in Melodifestivalen but that doesn't mean I like the song.

6. Salt & Pepper - Marie Serneholt
 I like this. If it was up to me I would definitely send it to andra chansen. (well yeah Afro-Dite is my one finalist and the second is the lady at No8 ;))

7. Jag reser mig igen - Thorsten Flinck och Revolutionsorkestern
What was that? Next please!

8. Euphoria - Loreen
And what we have here, ladies and gentlemen, is 2012's winner! Just read the description of scandipop about Loreen's rehearsal! This is exactly what I thought when I saw the title of her song! Like months ago! Loreen to Baku so it can be Stockholm 2013 please! The only thing that concerns me a bit is the backing vocals. The live backing vocals in ESC...

So Afro-Dite and Loreen to Globen and Marie Serneholt and -I can't believe I'm actually gonna say this- The Moniker to andra chansen. Well it's not a good heat for me and all I care about is my 2 finalists!

47 hours left!

Now the draw is supposed to be random right? I wonder how random it is...

ESC 2012 - Spain: Pastora Soler to ESC! Confirmed!

Oh my God!!! I don't know where to start!! Seriously! EXTATIC!!! :D Pastora Soler will represent Spain to ESC next May in Baku!!!! Remember my previous posts about her? My perfect choice! I had hopes since she performed last February in the spanish NF but then in some interviews she said "no". But yesterday she wrote in one of her tweets that today would be a special day. She also deleted some old tweets saying she doesn't want to represent Spain! But she's here now! :D :D :D So freakin' glad that she changed her mind!!!

It was an internal selection by RTVE. The BEST move they did in YEARS! Finally! And I'm almost sure that's why Pastora said "yes". Internal selection! Oh God! I am still smiling!

Needless to say that Spain is my winner right? No matter what Pastora will sing! And that's because I love ALL of her songs! I'm sure she won't let me down. And for the first time since 2008 I am glad we have the juries. Pastora will get a great boost! But let's kick the juries out next year ok? xD

Right now I have totally forgotten about Melodifestivalen! Andreas Lundstedt and Afro-Dite! Sorry my loves but it's Soler we're talking about! :P If either of them makes it to Baku (unfortunately too good to happen) I will root for them. But now PASTORA SOLER people!! :D

Madrid 2013! ;D

Melodifestivalen 2012 - What type of songs are we gonna hear?

Alright SVT will create artist pages which will be updated more frequently in January. However some of them are already there. Not all of them are fully informed but in most of them the artists and composers describe the songs! They are in alphabetical order so I'm gonna go with it.

Abalone Dots

Photo: Sven Lindwall

They describe "På Väg" as a melancholic ballad with a love theme.

I'm not positive about it. You know I don't like ballads so it must be something really great in order for me to like it.

Afro-Dite

Photo: Anders Wiklund

Gladys describes "The Boy Can Dance" as a joyous, catchy glitter song!
Blossom as a discorama!
Kayo as a groovy disco tune!
The writers Johan and Catrine describe it as an old school disco anthem in modern clothes and a modern '70s disco ball with nightclub feeling like fireworks!

Oh. My. God. Are we looking at a "Never Let It Go" part II???? Sounds like it!!!! I AM FREAKIN' EXTATIC and I can't wait until February!!!! Oh my God!! DISCO! DISCO!! DISCOOOO!!!!! They're my winners! Period. I know Andreas (Lundstedt) and Magnus Carlsson are also competing but really I'm rooting for the girls! I will vote for Andy and Magnus and Loreen and and and. BUT BUT BUT Afro-Dite will definitely be my favourite. Besides Andy is competing with a ballad (keep reading) and no idea about Magnus' song BUT BUT BUT.

 Sonja Aldén

Photo: Sven Lindwall

Unfortunately there's no description for "I Din Himmel" but I'm almost sure it's gonna be ballad. If it's like "För Att Du Finns" I'm gonna like it. A lot.

Dead by April

Photo: Sven Lindwall

They describe "Mystery" as epic, modern pop/metal, the "heaviest" song in Melodifestivalen and as a punch in the face with a strong chorus.

Ehm ok... I can't say anything now. It's a mystery. ;)

Thorsten Flinck and Revolutionsorkestern

Photo: Sven Lindwall

They describe "Jag Reser Mig Igen" as a heavy song with both personal and universal text and as a good song in all contexts.

I can't think of what we're gonna hear. A ballad maybe?

David Lindgren

Photo: Sven Lindwall

There's no description about the song yet.

Loreen

Photo: Sven Lindwall

No description about "Euphoria" either. Damn it! I wanted something!

EDIT: I found an interview where Loreen describes the song. "Dynamic. Cry Me a River-feelings. Ambient. A song that crawls under your skin." 


Oh God! Sounds great!!

Andreas Lundstedt

Photo: Sven Lindwall

Andreas describes "Aldrig" as a captivating melancholy in Swedish.
The writers describe it as a song to cry and dance to.

Doesn't it sound like a ballad to you? It is. I knew it ever since I saw the title. And the fact that it's in swedish sung by Andreas...totally a ballad. If it's like "Driver Dagg Faller Regn" then it's more than welcome! :D

Mimi Oh

Photo: Sven Lindwall

Mimi describes "Det Går För Långsamt" as a bombastic pop!

Niclas Lundin describes it as an honest and straight contemporary pop song with a clear legacy of the swedish '80s.

Sounds cool!

Ulrik Munther

Photo: Sven Lindwall

Ulrik describes "Soldiers" as a fresh pop/rock song with military feeling.

The writers describe it as a pop song that is about relationships and forgiveness.

All I say is watch out for him. :/

Sean Banan

Photo: Sven Lindwall

Sean describes "Sean Den Förste Banan" with the phrase "Everyone in Sweden can be/are the kings, even if it is in their own way".

The writers describe it as a good song without a quiet moment with Sweden's best artist.

Now why do I have a feeling it's gonna be a joke entry?

Marie Serneholt

  

Marie describes "Salt And Pepper" as a swinging upptempolåt with lots of spice.

Spicy song hehe. I am expecting a lot from Marie!

The Moniker

Photo: Sven Lindwall

Daniel (The Moniker) describes "I Want To Be Chris Isaak" as a song without genre and free in its revelation.

I'll just say don't let it be another "Oh My God"!!

Thomas Di Leva

Photo: Sven Lindwall

Thomas describes "Ge Aldrig Upp" as an uplifting energetic song with a message.

I never watched any performace or listened any song by Di Leva but I know who he is. I just don't think I'll like what he has to show us.

Timoteij

Photo: Sven Lindwall

Timoteij describe "Stormande Hav" as a hit and full of energy up-tempo song with Timoteij-touch!

The writers describe it as a folk/pop/schlager energetic song with irish garlands.

Yay! It sounds like another "Kom"!! Even though "Kom" will always be the lost chance for the Swedes to win Eurovision!

Top Cats

Photo: Sven Lindwall

 They describe "Baby Doll" as a happy song with full speed.

I don't know their genre but Susie Päivärinta is one of the writers so...

These are the 16 out of 32 Melodifestivalen entries. I just can't wait until we listen to the songs!

Now, who wants to donate some money so I can go to the semis as well? xD Anyone? No?

Melodifestivalen 2012 - The songs and artists!

According to Aftonbladet these are the artists who will compete in Melodifestivalen 2012!

Marie Serneholt - Salt & Pepper
OK I thought "Salt & Pepper" was Afro-Dite's song but it turns out it's not. About Marie, I hope she does better than 2009.

Top Cats - Baby Doll
I don't know who they are.

Mimi Oh - Det Går För Långsamt
Nope. No idea who she is either.

Lotta Engberg & Christer Sjögren - Don't Let Me Down
I'm surprised that the song is in english. Not interested in Christer but I like Lotta!

Loreen - Euphoria
OOOOOH!!!!!!! Loreen is back and this title sounds so promising!! I don't know why but I get a feeling that this is gonna be amazing!! I get a strong positive energy when I see the name Loreen next to "Euphoria". It might sound stupid but that's it!

Mattias Andréasson - Förlåt Mig
Mattias from EMD... Ok...

Thomas Di Leva - Ge Aldrig Upp
Alright, I'm not really interested in Di Leva's entry.

Ulrik Munther - Soldiers
I could even bet some money on him being Mello's winner. And no, I don't like that possibility because there are many more artists that I like. Of course it depends on the song too! But I think after Eric Saade the girls are gonna vote for him. And I don't get all the fuss about Ulrik. He's just ok to me.

Timoteij - Stormande Hav
Welcome back girls! They were my winners in 2010 but Sweden couldn't see that "Kom" was a real winner! I hope their comeback will be with something like "Kom"! Good luck Timoteij!

Afro-Dite - The Boy Can Dance
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! And that reaction is nothing really! I. AM. EXTATIC. Afro-Dite back in Mello!!! My all time favourite swedish entry ! How many times have I said this? Sorry guys but honestly I am extremely happy about their comeback!! And to be honest I'm glad they're gonna sing "The Boy Can Dance". The title sounds like it's a dance song. Dance...I mean up-tempo. It actually reminds me of "The Boy Does Nothing" by Alesha Dixon. Hope it's something like this! Hehe GO AFRO-DITE!!! :D

Charlotte Perrelli - The Girl
First of all, I'm happy to see her in Melodifestivalen but I don't want her to ESC again. And she won't make it anyway. The competition is hard and it's only been 3 years since her last ESC/Mello appearance. But I hope to see her in Globen! ;) My schlager diva! Well one of them anyways! :P

Hanna Lindblad - Goosebumps
Hanna's back. I didn't really like her entry in 2010. Let's hope she's got something better this year.

Sonja Aldén - I Din Himmel
Sonja's back!! Glad about this! Even though the title tells me it's gonna be a ballad and you know I don't like ballads but you never know!

The Moniker - I Want To Be Chris Isaak
Why oh why? Just one thing. If this song is as annoying as "Oh My God" I will die! I don't have a problem with him but last year's entry was horrible!

Thorsten Flinck & Revolutionsorkestern - Jag Reser Mig Igen
Don't know him.

Maria Benhajji - I Mina Drömmar
She's one of the webjokers. I have no idea what's going on there. I don't follow the online contest. No time to do that. So I will listen to her song later.

Axel Algmark - Kyss Mig
Don't know him.

Dynazty - Land Of Broken Dreams
Totally a rock song. Not my cup of tea.

Lisa Miskovsky - Why Start A Fire
I'm actually interested in her and the song. I've heard a lot about Lisa but haven't "youtubed" her yet! :P

Andreas Johnson - Lovelight
I don't know what to say about Andreas... I never liked any of his previous entries and I'm sorry to say that but I really can't stand his "wannabe-amarican" accent. I hope he doesn't "steal" anyone's spot in Globen!

Danny Saucedo - To The Sky
Well I'm not so surprised. Saade took the bite out of his mouth (oh my God! do they have that expression in english or is it totally greek?) last year. He's back for the revanche. But can you imagine Danny finishing second behind Ulrik this year? xD

Love Generation - Just A Little Bit
What's wrong with RedOne? Seriously! They gave them "Dance Alone" last year which should have been performed by Velvet (and I will say that until I die! It was a Velvet song!) and now they give them "Just A Little Bit"! Their live performance of "Dance Alone" was terrible! Not to mention that Malena Ernman white floor! I almost got blind! Duh!

Molly Sandén - Why Am I Crying
Totally a ballad. And I can tell that by the title but also by the fact that Molly said in an interview that she doesn't like dancing. So...

Andreas Lundstedt - Aldrig Aldrig
Dandy Andy! <3 My man! Andy without his girls but at least we'll get to see him! Make sure people you send him to Globen! I wanna see him! This year I got a great seat! But... "Aldrig Aldrig"? In swedish? Hmm what's he up to? EXCITED anyway! 

Björn Ranelid & Sara Li - Mirakel
Wanna bet? Ballad! But don't know either of them.

Dead by April - Mystery
Not my cup of tea but it's nice to see different genres in Mello.

Malmöbaserade bandet Opa - Allting Blir Bra Igen
These guys are Greek. Well not really interested in them.

Anna Järvinen - Porslin
Don't know her.

Abalone Dots - På Väg
I read somewhere they're a country group (?). Cool!

Sean Banan - Sean Den Förste Banan
They say he's a comedian... I don't know what to say...


Well these were 30 out of 32 artists. 2 more to go. Anyway I think it's gonna be great! My mind is on my Andy, Afro-Dite, Loreen, Perrelli and Timoteij for now.

Don't you think so? ;) Thomas Di Leva, Sonja Aldén, The Moniker, Andreas Johnson, Ulrik Munther, Danny Saucedo, Timoteij, Molly Sandén, Hanna Lindblad/Linda Sundblad, Lili & Susie, Mattias Andréasson and Lisa Miskovsky . Also I know that the song "Salt & Pepper" will be performed by Afro-Dite!!!!!!!!! Can you imagine how EXTATIC I am about this?! AFRO-DITE!! My all time favourite swedish entry! The girls are back! And yeah yeah I know they're old and blah blah blah but I don't care if they represent Sweden or not! It's enough for me that they will enter Melodifestivalen! I just want them in the final so I can see them in Globen live!! AAAAAAAH!!!!

Also that Sean Banan...I have no idea who he/she is but that name is also in the title of the song so I suppose it's the same person who will perform it. Abalone Dots...they're probably a group since the names are in parenthesis so it's possible that they will be the performers as well but I don't know. And I have a feeling that Michael Sideridis will also be the performer. 

And I see the old Melodifestivalen "dogs" again. I'm happy for some of them since I love schlager but let's hope Sweden will vote for the right song this year.

LOL at my last sentence!

EDIT: I didn't comment RedOne! So the team is back huh? Hope they're wise enough to give their song to someone good! And yes, someone who's popular! Last year they should have given "Dance Alone" to Velvet!!! I can't think of anyone else that could have performed this better than Jenny!
