Vi Har En Resulta...



Almost 1.2 million viewers tuned in on Saturday night to watch the Swedish Melodifestivalen final.



The results were hardly surprising - in fact, the four most likely to win songs ended up in the four top places. Sanna Nielsen won (after six successful entries in the past) with "Undo", while the more contemporary "Busy Doin' Nothin'" by Ace Wilder finished in second place (that song scored the most 12 points by the juries). Alcazar finished in third place, were very happy with the result and promised fans some new music and a European tour in the near future. Both the UK and French juries awarded Alcazar 12 points. And finishing in a very respectable fourth place was "Survivor" by Helena Paparizou - which did not qualify for the final right away, but was selected from the second change show.

The rather awful song by Anton Edwald, which had been tipped as a very potential winner (that is, before it debuted in the semifinal) thankfully finished in last place.

I personally would have loved it if Alcazar had won, but I didn't really expect them to. All in, fair results and I'm sure Sanna is thrilled to have finally won after so many successful attempts in the past.



Here are the full results from the final:

Blame It On The DISCO...



As regular readers of this blog now, I have always followed the Swedish Eurovision song selection well. In the past 10 years, Melodifestivalen has often been even more fun to watch then the actual Eurovision. But sadly, this year has been a different story!

The songs have been more or less dreadful, the staging been as boring as any TV "talent" show and most of the performers looked and sounded like that's exactly where they should be - on something like X-Factor.

The final is next Saturday and the running order of the 10 final songs has been decided:

1. Anton Ewald – “Natural”
2. Ellen Benediktson – “Songbird”
3. Alcazar – “Blame It On The Disco”
4. Oscar Zia – “Yes We Can”
5. Linus Svenning – “Bröder”
6. Helena Paparizou – Survivor”
7. YOHIO – “To the End”
8. Sanna Nielsen – “Undo”
9.Panetoz – “Efter solsken”
10. Ace Wilder – “Busy Doin’ Nothin”

Out of these 10 songs, only two manage to be somewhat interesting. 

Sanna Nielsen has always done well in Melodifestivalen and her entry this year (almost a ballad version of Eric Saade's "Popular") is most likely to win, in my opinion. It's nothing terribly special, but compared to most of the rest of this years songs, it is a cut above the rest. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if it wins (that is, if the dreadful Ace Wilder track doesn't - it seems to be a big favorite in Sweden, for reasons unknown by moi).



Much less likely to win is this one. Ex-Eurovision winner (for Greece) Helena Paparizou didn't qualify straight to the final but got her ticket through Andra Chansen (Second Change) this weekend. The song seems to be going down very well in Sweden and might do quite well on Saturday - but if memory serves, a song that did not qualify straight to the final has never actually won. Again, not a fantastic song per se - but much better than most of the other entries.



BUT: there is one more thing that will make the final ever so worth it! The return of the glorious Alcazar!



"Blame It On The Disco" sounds quite a bit like their previous entry "Stay The Night" - but this time they decided to make their entrance a la Madonna (Confessions Tour). Dressed in their most glittery outfit, the injected a MUCH needed life and fun into an otherwise terrible boring competition. Of course I hope this will win on Saturday, but I suspect it just might be a bit too camp...

In any case: my favorite this year:

Rockin' And Leaving...



Well, we sadly won't see Army Of Lovers anywhere near the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest, as they did not get through to the Melodifestivalen finals (they finished in 6th place on Saturdays semifinal). But I don't think anyone really expected them to be loved by the general public...

Here is their performance:



The always fabulous Alcazar also gave the show some additional campness with a medley of some of their hits:

The Army Is Back!!!...



All the artists performing the songs in the 2013 Melodifestivalen have been announced.

Sadly there are not a lot of big names included in the line-up. But there is one name that comes as a massive and a very welcomed surprise: Army Of Lovers!


The original lineup of the group will perform their forthcoming single “Rockin’ The Ride” during the fourth semifinal in Malmö, which is scheduled for February 23. The song was written by Alexander Bard and Henrik Wikström ( Gravitonas). When they were asked to describe the song, they said: "Swedish House Mafia Meets Gangnam Style, takes a ton of crack and jumps into the laundry machine".  OK then :)

New about the reunion are all over the Swedish press and I must say I am very happy about their comeback! The group released their last material in 2001 when they released two singles from a Greatest Hits compilation.

Tracks...



A batch of recent tracks that I like at the moment, including some of the very few tracks from this years Melodifestivalen that arent completely horrible.















And finally: considering the video for the new single from Max Barskih, I´m pretty sure that the national broadcaster in Ukraine are a bit relieved that he came second place in the Eurovision finals this month. Somehow I cant imagine this would go down too well with the EBU - but imagine how this could have looked on stage in Baku...

I tend to like the entries from Ukraine (how can anyone forget Svetlana Loboda)? So hopefully it wont be long before we get another way over the top act from them in Eurovision. In the meantime, do watch the video for "Dance".

FINALLY!!!...



After watching Melodifestivalen for years, enjoying loads of fabulous (and camp!) tracks, many of who really would have done a lot better in Eurovision then the trash that actually did win, I was starting to think that the right track would probably never win! This year however, it did!



There was one song this year that was an absolute winner  - the fabulous "Popular" by Eric Saade. Needless to say I am stocking up on all sorts of glass material to break around the house during his performance in Eurovision...

Single version:
http://uploading.com/files/get/f43b49mm/

Slow version:

http://uploading.com/files/get/d3417e6f/







The final results:

1. Eric Saade – “Popular” – 193 points
2. Danny Saucedo – “In The Club” – 149 points
3. The Moniker – “Oh My God!” – 124 points
4. Sanna Nielsen – “I’m In Love” – 114 points
5. Swingfly – “Me and My Drum” – 93 points
6. The Playtones – “The King” – 79 points
7. Linda Bengtzing – “E Det Fel På Mig” – 58 points
8. Nicke Borg – “Leaving Home” – 57 points
9. Sara Varga – “Spring För Livet” – 50 points
10. Brolle – “7 Days And 7 Nights” – 29 points

If All TV Was Like This...



Some more fabulousness from the 2011 Melodifestivalen.

This fabulously camp Abba-like number went to Andra Chansen (a second round to try to get into the finals). I am totally rooting for it - I mean, the choreography and the claps alone!



This track also went to Andra Chansen. It is co-written by ex Army of Lovers guru Alexander Bard:



And this one went straight to the finals, and will probably be a big competition to my favourite entry so far - the fabulous "Popular" by Eric Saade. I love this track too though, I'm sure it will do very well (it sounds quite a bit like "Yeah x3" by Chris Brown):

POPULAR!...



Oh my god! If this song doesnt win the Melodifestivalen, and then goes on to win Eurovision, there is NO justice in the world!

Ole...



Another treat from the 2011 Melodifestivalen.



(shockingly, this didnt qualify to the finals) ;)

Oh My God...



Melodifestivalen 2011 is in full swing in Sweden right now. I cant show you some of the tracks that are still in competition (they are all removed immediatly from all the video sites), but I can post this fabulous little treat from Le Kid. Sadly it fell out of the competition - how could it, with props like that? (You must watch all the way through - it's priceless!!!)
