Has Sweden got its very own TESCO MARY?
Well, judge for yourselves...
 
Just catching up on this and absolutely dead at Charlotte’s song :D:disco:
 
I have mega high hopes for both Charlotte and Jessica... wouldn't that be the head to head of doom in AC?
 
How many more are there to be announced? Still desperately crossing fingers for the return of Anne-Lie with an overexcitable G:son number :(
 
Did I imagine it or did someone say that Loreen had to decide whether to take part or not by a certain date? Well we can just imagine how THAT turned out

*orders more weed and forgets to call the Melody Bureau*
 
Anyway, Lorraine doesn’t need those ungrateful Swedish bastards. I’m quite happy for her to be NICHÉ and release fabulous singles every now and then, dependent on her ability to get out of bed

Anyway I’m off to weep hysterically to ‘Walk With Me’ for the rest of the morning
 
What is this @Lockhart business please? (Not you @Penelope; I mean the change of name.) It’s mainly bringing sexy favourite Heather Locklear to mind in the first instance
 
I watched a YouTube live perf of Statements today “Statements (amazing live performance)” - sidebar it was alright

At the start she was mumbling and noodling but somehow managed to form the words “I am an activist”. I thought you needed to be ACTIVE to do that

Last time she procrastinated till SUNDAY before the Tuesday announcement.

SVT had to call up an already confirmed John Lundvik and apologetically take away his spot :eyes:
 
I nearly entered this Efraim Leo song for ASFM last time around:

 
...and SVT waited another 24 hours before calling him up Monday evening :D
I can understand why they dreaded the call though.

Lundvik was the singer of Begging when :disco: FOREGROUND DANCER :disco: Anton Ewald got his breakthrough. A year after he sent in a self written song, got selected by the jury and was initially set to be the performer.

However, SVT reserves right to choose the artists even for the jury selected songs. After changing their mind and snubbing him of his place as a frontman Lundvik was left with two uncomfortable choices for 2014. Either he could let SVT disqualify his song or he had to put up with Ewald claiming 'the song was written especially for him' while once again trying to cover up Ewald's singing capabilities. Luckily(?) for him Ewald got hybris and chose to sing a greater part himself this time around. That embarrassment temporarily killed of Ewald's chances at a greater music career and perhaps even got SVT to rethink earlier decisions...
