Melodifestivalen 2010 - Heat Two - Sandviken

[Timbo]

Does that make you hot? Are you a closet encourager Timbothy?

Well I'll be honest and confess that at first I was a little bit

But then the more I looked at him I got the back.

All is well

[David]

Bless your little chubbychasing socks!

[Kevin]

So nothing leaked so far? That's disappointing.

[ennaoj]

For the songs that got through, I ripped the videos if they're of any use:

Same goes for the mp3s of those four songs: [Edit: Removed the file, see post below]

I've recorded them a bit quieter than they should be, but it's the first time I've used this particular software.

Not ripped the others yet, as I'm guessing they'll be up tomorrow anyway.

[Kevin]

Thank you so far. You're right that the mp3 isn't very loud. Is there something you can do about that

[ennaoj]

Managed to find a better program, so here's the four tracks at a better volume, plus the rest of them now: http://www.sendspace.com/file/q81kag

[Samuel]

I'm watching it now, here's what I think...

Eric - Christ, I thought Alcazar relied on the backing track last year, this is taking it to new levels, nearly all of this was basically mimed. Really quite infectious though, especially the chorus. He's also a shockingly bad performer, like a rabbit in the headlights, his dancing is so static and lifeless.

Andra Generationen - They're using effects available in GarageBand, give me strength. What possessed the jury to put these lot through again?

Anna - This is so dull, her voice tends to sound like a little girls when she reaches for the high notes. It does sound like a Carola album track from the 80's.

Highlights & Mist - Magnus Carlsson wants his b-side back. This really is quite catchy although I'd of made sure the two twats at the beginning stayed at home. I'm sure I caught the woman checking her nails at one point.

Pauline - She gave a mean vocal, looked like a fucking idiot though. It seems to be lacking a chorus. Did she learn nothing from the Charlotte Perrelli FIASKOT? Black and white camera effects don't work.

Andreas - Nice to see him go back to the 'Glorious' style ballad. This is alright, I'm not hating it as much as I expected to. Is that live backing vocals I hear too? I liked that.

Kalle & Orsa - No thanks.

Hanna - Best performance this year by a country mile, I'd even go as far as saying second best song behind Salem Al Fakir for me too. She was always going to suffer the same fate as Jenny Silver, annoying really because Swedish radio will hammer this.

Mans really bloody rushed those results didn't he? Someone take him to presenting school ASAP.

[Kevin]

You really need to see the performance with Manboy. Just listening to the song it's not that strong. Being able to rely on a backing track is also a big mistake I think.

[Kevin]

Such a shame this didn't make it.

[[insert your best offer here]]

Didn't watch this live, so just had a quick run through the live-versions and my favourite out of this is definetely "Underbart".

Andreas and Saade are OK, but I would never have voted for them.

The rest is not really UP MY STREET.

[Win_the_game]

Such a shame this didn't make it.

Oh I just noticed she had male tranny dancers.

jonathan have you gone completely MAD?

[Madison]

jonathan have you gone completely MAD?

gone?

[MilkyBarKid]

Why did those old cunts get to Andra Chansen?? I'm sorry but a fat Phil Mitchell on lead vocals with Des Lynam on a fiddle being backed up with a load of OAP's from the retirement home is not what I would have voted for.

Sweden in the second week running completely overlooks a fierce performance from a female.

Obviously really pleased about Eric Saade though I do agree that he did look like a deer in the headlights. Andreas was a given and I still think it is a song that goes absolutely NOWHERE and his weakest MF entry ever. Gutted about Headlights and Mist - I actually think that out of everything would have stood the best chance out of everything so far we've heard at MF for Eurovision.

[Timbo]

Agree with everything MBK said.

[Madison]

Eurovision would never have awarded a victory to MiSt.

[VoR]

I'm glad MiST flopped so badly. Another of Christer's TERRIBLE ideas going belly up (after international pick AND knockout voting in 09) can only speed up his demise.

[MilkyBarKid]

Eurovision would never have awarded a victory to MiSt.

I'm not saying victory. Let's be honest out of everything so far Sweden have got NO CHANCE at a victory. Headlights and Mist (I think) would have done better vote wise at Eurovision. It is not that different from Regina from last year.

[Madison]

Road Salt would do much better.

[RobotBoy]

I agree. Road Salt is the only song still in the competition that I think would do anything significant at Eurovision.

[VoR]

How were ratings this week?

Has the Swedish press caught on to how terrible the quality has been so far this year?

[MilkyBarKid]

I can't even remember Road Salt. Did I like that one RB?? Was there anyone goodlooking in it??

[Timbo]

I can't even remember Road Salt. Did I like that one RB?? Was there anyone goodlooking in it??

Most definitely not (I hope!). They were that REVOLTING, dated-looking (as in mid-90's Pearl Jam) band that sang that horrible slow song that went nowhere.

Wash your mouth out MBK.

[VoR]

Road Salt was DULL DULL DULL. Wouldn't do a thing at Eurovision. Regina were much more rousing.

[RobotBoy]

I didn't compare Pain Of Salvation to Regina. And I think they'd do very well at Eurovision indeed with a good draw.

[Melodifestivaler]

Both Andreas and Eric didn't deserve the final, they were as boring as everything in this semi, even Hanna hardly could wake me up. Lifeless performances and waterfall of Eric didn't look as effective as I thought. I love Kempe's dance-pop but this song is just flat copy of Sleepless. I was really surprised to see public so happily dancing and singing along with Manboy. Comparing with Mons year before it's completely different level of song and artist.

I assumed that I was so underwhelmed as I was jetlagged, but apparently not.

Where can I find it?

[Kevin]

Where can I find it?

I already found one.

[Kevin]

I think the choreography for this is amazing. He may not be the most confident performer, but I do think he is very likeable.

[David_5000]

The choreography was definitely the best thing about it. Hanna's was really good too.

[MilkyBarKid]

I am so going to do that dance breakdown when I'm out with my mates next weekend.

Do it under a balcony, I'll bring the boiling oil!

[David_5000]

I like Kempe as a composer, but can he please let someone else write the lyrics?

[MilkyBarKid]

Apparently Erik Saade has been quoted in Aftonbladet today saying:

”Att bli gay- favorit är ett av mina mål!”

'To become gay is one of my top goals'.

[Madison]

gay or gay favourite?

[MilkyBarKid]

I don't care which one of the two it is. It's a start!!

[Christian]

Amazing choreography on the number but I found him very unlikeable. That gimpy smile, idiot hair and awful STYLING OCH CONSULTING (fingerless leather gloves? ) put me RIGHT off my CAMPARI

[RobotBoy]

Why were you at home drinking campari? You should have been at The Harcourt supping on Elderflower Kopparbergs.

You're right though, the choreography was great and he was the weak link at the centre of it all really.
