Melodifestivalen 2011 - Heat Four - Malmö

[FetchFugly]

I'm actually quite upset that Julia Alvgard has NO chance of getting through Better or Worse is far better than I expected it to be...

I agree. I especially like the bit leading into the chorus ('Standing at your door...').

[Johnkm]

Oh, now we all know THE PERF will be ever so slightly re-emulated tonight

Emphasis on SLIGHTLY.

[Kevin]

Here we go.

[FetchFugly]

Marie looks like a different person made up like that.

[Kevin]

My boyfriend said Marie looks really good. For someone in her late thirties.

[Johnkm]

My boyfriend said Marie looks really good. For someone in her late thirties.

She does look much older than she is tonight though.

[Penelope]

LOL at the complete lack of reaction to Julia Alvgard

[Johnkm]

Suitably big cheer for Linda B

[David_5000]

Biggest cheer for Bengtzing.

[Penelope]

Oh god, please don't let them do an Ark

[Apocalypt_flyer]

Some DIABOLICAL VOCALS.

[Kevin]

What if someone with some decent vocals did this... It's not a bad song. I expect Engish like this from the Belarus entry

[Apocalypt_flyer]

God The Ark did this SO SO MUCH BETTER.

[Penelope]

The lead singer looks like he's had work done...which poses the question as to why he didn't start with the nose.

[Johnkm]

A crap retread of The Ark's efforts with awful vocals. DTG it is then.

[FetchFugly]

The first verse of Melody Club was just horrible with his poor vocals. Once it picked up pace that was covered to some degree.

His attempts to work the camera were a bit creepy too.

[Kevin]

Am I right in thinking the second half of the song was just the chorus over and over again?

[David_5000]

Wasn't as bad as I'd feared, although his voice and appearance were offputting. I liked the band name at the end.

[Johnkm]

Am I right in thinking the second half of the song was just the chorus over and over again?

I think so, which might explain why it wasn't that bad, vocals aside.

[Penelope]

Julia gives off cunt vibes.

[Kevin]

I really hope I'm wrong with my Melody Club DTG prediction.

[FetchFugly]

Poor unloved Julia is rather MOONFACED.

[Johnkm]

What horrible hair.

[David_5000]

Anyone else getting a hint of Shania's 'Ka-Ching' from this?

[Johnkm]

Anyone else getting a hint of Shania's 'Ka-Ching' from this?

I was just about to say just that, those first lines of the chorus are almost identical. I half expected her to start singing Ka-chi-i-i-i-i-i-ing at any point.

[Andricicle]

I expect Julia to wink to the camera any second now.

(Where IS that Chiara photo when you need it?)

[Penelope]

Please let Julia go AC at least

[FetchFugly]

What horrible hair.

The dress isn't very nice either.

I do like the song, though the performance hasn't worked for me.

[Apocalypt_flyer]

Julia Alfgard >> Melody Club.

[David_5000]

I liked the curtain dance routine though.

[Kevin]

Boring performance, but she sang well and I like the song. 7th?

[Johnkm]

The song is lovely and the performance quite nice, but she is obviously going nowhere.

[Kevin]

Julia Alfgard >> Melody Club.

Very much so.

[Penelope]

Apparently Google Chrome translates Lasse Stefanz as Gwen Stefani. If only!

[Kevin]

They were second on the Aftonbladet poll.

[David_5000]

Old guy singing an appalling song. If this gets anywhere it's the Underbart fiasco all over again.

[FetchFugly]

WHAT A VOICE.

[Johnkm]

NAILS DOWN BLACKBOARD

[Penelope]

The thing that upsets me most about this is I'd probably love it if it was an ABBA song. As it is LS just make it terrible...

[David_5000]

Ouch, this is actually painful.
