MOOPYFESTIVALEN 2008: THE FINAL

[VoR]

Oh yes I'm sure the excitement was PALPABLE for Moopyfestivalen 2005 with all of seven voters....

[David_5000]

well kudos to you, I'm sure christer is thanking you for SVT's record viewing figures too.

[Samuel]

That, my boy, is why I set the bar on voting turnout.

I did some things in the Mariah forum that I'm not proud of, but the numbers speak for themselves.

+1 is all I'm saying.

[Timbo]

That, my boy, is why I set the bar on voting turnout.

I did some things in the Mariah forum that I'm not proud of, but the numbers speak for themselves.

...AND you could have had even MORE if you hadn't....

*shuts up*

[David]

Poor brave old Timbo not getting to exercise his Moopycratic right!

[Apocalypt_flyer]

Thinking about it now my Top2 are ABSOLUTELY clearcut. They're both TOWERING above everything else this year.

[David_5000]

COME ON PEOPLE!

Just over 24 hours to vote and I've only had 26 sets of votes. You're all allowed to do ANYTHING to get the following people (and anyone else) to vote...

Alex
Andries
Broomhelga
Christian
Diddy
dUb
Lolly
Toyah

[David_5000]

Over to you VoR...

Surely we should be able to hit 30?

[VoR]

Have you PM'd them?

[VoR]

Alex did say he would do it BTW. He'll be at work now so I'll prod him tonight.

[David]

I remember when 30 votes was like a dream scenario.

[VoR]

UPDATE: dUb says he'll "try".

This lack of commitment disturbs me.

[lolly]

Thank you Mr 5000 and VoR for the reminders. I'm listening through for the very first time now, and will vote after just one listen of each.

[VoR]

Interesting

I predict this will harm BWO. I don't think ANYONE was blown away by that until a couple of listens.

I also think Therese will lose points by people who didn't actually see the performance. I know we're supposed to be voting on the songs, and I do love it to bits anyway, but BY GOD this is still one of the most fabulously OTT things I've seen all year.

[lolly]

Fuck me, I LOVE the fourth one I'm listening to

[David]

Short of a Valkyrie outfit Therese couldn't have been more ITT!"

[lolly]

Interesting

I've not listened to them yet. But they are easily the act I'm most familiar with, and I'm really not bothered by them at all. So I think it could go either way.

[VoR]

It's total BWO by numbers and it was a big fat MEH from just about everyone at first, not helped by Alexander Bard's very irritating press comments in the runup to the whole thing. But it's definitely become one of the favourites now.

[Suomi]

VoR stop influencing the neutral voters with your constant steady stream of helpful information and propogranda youtube showings

[VoR]

He won't watch it. Lolly has gone, what? TWO MONTHS now without listening to Charlotte Perrelli. He's not going to be swayed by a ginger nerd with a youtube.

[David]

I didn't like it at first, it grew on me in the run up to the final, then the final performance sparked a complete loss of interest again.

[VoR]

I thought the finals performance was ace! The fireworks were much more impressive and his vocal was much stronger.

The only thing I didn't like was the fact that Marina was FAR too animated.

[lolly]

I'm not watching any youtube videos until after I've voted

[David_5000]

All PMed yesterday, well done Lolly for actually responding!

I think Broomhelga and Christian are MIA though.

[lolly]

VOTED

I love two, like three more quite a lot, am indifferent to three, and didn't like the final two very much at all.

[Alex]

I have been pestered into submission. Will give them all a listen shortly and vote later.

[VoR]

YAY

[Lars]

Go Alex!

[VoR]

Am I being blind or are the heat four songs not in the special place?

[Apocalypt_flyer]

Well no, I linked the page with all the songs up in the Heat 4 thread.

[VoR]

Do you mind sticking them in for our FAIRWEATHER fans?

I'd do it myself but for some reason ggggging songs freezes my whole internet and takes about 20 minutes per file for me.

[lolly]

I found the whole 2CD easily enough on the usual torrent sites

[Samuel]

I quite liked BWO's song at first and then got really bored with it. And they better not try again next year.

[Apocalypt_flyer]

Opposite for me. Bored with it initially, grew on me like NOTHING else out of this year's 32 entries.

[Jake]

I doubt they will be back again. If they try Eurovision again, it will be somewhere else. It is obvious they won't ever win Melodifestivalen.

They said they would try the Ukraine anyway.

[David_5000]

Done and done.

[David_5000]

WELL DONE ALEX, you're a shining example to other Moopians.

[David_5000]

12h to go.

[VoR]

Did Alex vote yet?

[David_5000]

not yet but there's plenty of time, don't worry. It's some of your other proteges you need to worry about. And mysteriously Toyah too.
