I love Popular and I wouldn't mind it winning this year. But I do worry how it will sound in Germany with live backing. Will there be any dancers left?
What's confusing? We just find the heart of the prison and the dragon who speaks without walls, and we're home free. Simple.
You know, I actually quite like the song now but it's not instant enough I think. The performance should be good though.Originally Posted by Lars
I'm so excited about Shirley tonight. I haven't heard or seen anything yet but reading the comments about her above I think I'm in for a disappointment.
Nothing to see here MOVE ALONG.
Well at least she is a great live singer, that's always something.
It would be a big mess I'm sure.

Same goes for Danny but he's more capable of holding a tune.

I get the feeling Danny can do some of the vocals himself. I'm sure Eric needs help from start to finish. Didn't stop Sakis and Hadise though, so I'm sure there will be a way.

I take it this is a JOKE?
Med hjärtat fyllt av ljus
sen dagen da du kooooo-ooo-oo-m *wails uncontrollably*
If she's calm and focussed she's a capable singer, if nerves and excitement get the better of her it'll end in tears.

Except for "Med hjärtat fyllt av ljus" that is.But she had a cold back then.
Popular is much better in full than the rehearsal clip suggested - his voice still sound ROUGH AS at points though.
Shirley's effort is nice enough, but I can't help but feel underwhelmed by it. I think her voice is more pleasant in Swedish too. Sebastian's song is enjoyable but could use a little more oomph maybe and N-M-EEEEE is passable but not a qualifier, especially considering what she will sound like live. The other three entries I didn't think a great deal of.
Linda is probably my favourite at the moment, but that could change in performance, there isn't much in it between the top four for me.
I think performance wise Eric would be fine and really his vocals aren't THAT bad, obviously they could do with a fair bit of work, but he can at least hold a tune. Albeit not to any of his own songs

Eric is a shit singer, I can't believe people defending him. I think he'll make a great performance too but he just can't hold a tune.
If Eric were to get to Eurovision, I'd say he'll have a similar set-up to Sakis Rouvas, with 4 dancers, some or all of whom will have to double up as backing singers, and one (possibly hidden) backing singer singing the melody along with him. I think that's what Ani Lorak did as well. It can be done.
I don't want Eric going to Eurovision, he could barely present the Swedish votes last year, I dread to think what would happen if he had to sing.
You are a depraved bird of hate, get out of my sight!
Off course it can be done but not very enjoyable to listen to though.
I love it when there is a fat lady in black at the back of the stage like Koldun and Ani Lorak had.

The backing vocals on tape introduction really has brought more negatives (aka shit singers getting away with it) than positives (Malena Ernman) to the MF.
But then again, it's only been introduced so that they have to rethink the performances for Eurovision (YEAH RIGHT, Christer)

Oh yes! And Dana International.
I really don't understand why though, It's going to sound shit in the ESC anyway so why bother.The backing vocals on tape introduction really has brought more negatives (aka shit singers getting away with it) than positives (Malena Ernman) to the MF.
But then again, it's only been introduced so that they have to rethink the performances for Eurovision (according to Christer)
I do think it's about time the people allowed on stage was increased for Eurovision however. The six-person rule is so outdated when you consider how big the contest has got in the last decade.
Anyway, I have to get ready for a party but have a great evening everyone...
She was the REAL star of Shady Lady.
'Sue, did the President call?' ... 'No' Last.fm
I absolutely agree.
JOINT REAL Star. Ani Lorak was perfection.
A normal person must
Dismiss you with disgust
And weep for those who trusted you.
I'm kinda preparing myself for Christer introducing backing vocals on tape and 8 people to the ESC in the next three years.
I'm totally against it though.

I've decided Linda Sundblad is my second favourite of the heat after much deliberation, but Shirley, Sebastian and the Saras are making my top 4 incredibly difficult
I love it that they didn't even bother hiding her, but just didn't include her in the routine.Oh yes! And Dana International.

Has Christer got a Eurovision job?

I really hope the recorded backing vocals don't make it in. It's all very well in Melodifestivalen where it's as much about the artist promoting themselves and their songs as it is about finding a song for Eurovision, but for Eurovision itself it is ridiculous. I do think it would be met with such an incredible backlash that it would never last though.
The silly thing is that the more people you allow on stage, the less NEED there is for recorded backing vocals. It's silly to have both.

Well, he isn't Stockselius' successor but he'll be pushing for it.

What could be more important than Heat 3? (I haven't seen a single heat myself this year)
Probably nor tonight's.
I KINDA AGREE. Plus it usually comes RIGHT OUT OF THE BLUE.You disgust me with your revolting teutonic crudeness!

Anyone else in the Harcourt? Madison's running half an hour late...
If being myself is what I do wrong
Then I would rather not be right
