That microphone only video is going to be worth its weight in gold. I love Alcazar, but this is a terrible, terrible idea.

On the contrary, I think an all-time classic performance we will be referencing for years has been born

Tess Merkel now rumoured to be taking part as a solo artist (!)

TESS GODDESS OF SUCCESS vs MI AMORE ANNIKAFIORE.

 

[FetchFugly]

Does this make an Alcazar reunion next year more likely?

Does this make an Alcazar reunion next year more likely?

I mean this would be MONUMENTAL - but only in the 5 piece line-up (with a 4-part documentary on Sky Living varsågod)

 

[Hak]

Artists presentation and running order for the semi finals are scheduled for some kind of webcast Tuesday through Thursday next week!

I saw somewhere La Perrelli is back with an uptempo, is that true? Thank god if so.

It's true, though I would much rather have had her made sure she got a good entry It didn't necessarily need to be uptempo.

 

[Hak]

So there's 8 acts left to be selected, among them most likely at least one mixed act. What are you guys praying for?

 

[Zu]

LORRAINE (sp?)

[FetchFugly]

[D5K]

Yeah, not bad Christer Karin Gunnarsson!

 

[Suomi]

So LOVAD is confirmed early due to someone accidentally publishing this early

 

[Suomi]

Although my god that looks like Hanna Ferm

 

[FetchFugly]

Please let Lili & Susie break out of the rumoured list.

 

[Hak]

Although my god that looks like Hanna Ferm

They are both unique human beings!

 

[Zu]

IS LOREEN RETURNING OR NOT

 

[Hak]

IS LOREEN RETURNING OR NOT

SHE’S NOT SURE

but don’t worry, Bjorkmother has held firm that she has to make a decision by Wednesday evening, otherwise SHE’S OUT!

 

[Lume]

1. Samir & Viktor was selected by jury but split up

GOOD. I aIso note the absence of Mariette (RIP). Strangled by a stubborn dreadlock while sleeping, I heard. And why was Linda Bengtzing rejected AGAIN this year? She must be fuming.

 

[Penelope]

IS LOREEN RETURNING OR NOT

PROBABLY NOT

 

[Penelope]

Isn't he looking old?

 

[SDF]

We all are hun

 

[D5K]

I predict he won't come second.

 

[win_the_game]

So Danny will be why they ditched the mandatory female songwriter on every song rule then.

 

[win_the_game]

No surprise there then.

 

[dUb]

Isn't he looking old?

I admit I haven’t seen THAT many but his Amazing entry is one of the best Melfest things I’ve ever seen and I know people don’t think that but I do

 

[Pingu]

No idea who this is, but songwriters, title and pic are all promising...

 

[Madíson]

Less promising:

 

[Samuel]

When was the last time a presumed contender for the win had a song in Swedish? That’s assuming Danny’s song is, of course.

One of Jon Henrik’s?

 

[Zu]

Less promising:

OH I DON’T KNOW

 

[Soldi]

Is there some sort of running order to this or is it random?

 

[Samuel]

https://www.aftonbladet.se/nojesbla...l-programledarjobbet--ville-hellre-tavla-igen

Danny was originally offered to host one of the heats; he said yes and then changed his mind after COVID stopped him from working and he chose to compete instead.

He’s singing in Swedish, and doesn’t think he’s likely to win.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I love them already.
