Melodifestivalen 2024: Deltävling One (Malmö) - 7pm Tonight!

[Suomi]

What does the tagged on AC heat 5 bit actually involve now? Clips and a quick vote? I take it she won't get to perform again.

No new performances

 

[Samuel]

Elisa has a nice Anna Bergendahl-style trajectory to the Final if there are four qualifiers from faux Andra Chansen.

Kill these impromptu walk-to-the-stage final plats performances with FIRE. Imagine Loreen doing her best Pilates reformer through a sea of BUNTING last year.

 

[auretz]

Love that Elisa smashed those using rotary phones fairly acceptable results all things told

 

[Hak]

What does the tagged on AC heat 5 bit actually involve now? Clips and a quick vote? I take it she won't get to perform again.

She doesn't but half of the points of the prolonging are based on how well they did in the heats, basically it means Elisa is in as good of a position as she could hope for and Adam is almost out of the running!

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

I'm glad Elisa's LAST STAND for CLASSIC SCHLAGER got some acknowledgement and not binned at the first opportunity.

 

[Lucille]

Wait there’s no live AC this year?!?

 

[Tisch]

This story was a journey.

There's also some story about her being GENUINELY convinced she had a Poltergeist and actually PAYING someone to come and sort it out, but I'm a touch sketchy on the deets of that one

 

[Hak]

Wait there’s no live AC this year?!?

It's live alright, they're just not performing.

 

[Tisch]

But anyway, congrats to Elisa and the other ones x

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Wait there’s no live AC this year?!?

Nope, just a 30 minutes show/vote after a newly introduced 5th semi-final where the public votes quickly on the songs that came 3rd/4th in the heats.

All very confusing. I did think that it sounded like the format was hugely going to favour those from heat 5.

 

[Tisch]

Right girls, who's doing MGP now?

[Dark Carnival]

I missed this what are we watching next?

 

[Kratz]

Right girls, who's doing MGP now?

Between this, MGP and BenidormFest tonight I will
be in a fugue state by morning

 

[Lucille]

I missed this what are we watching next?

MGP RESULTS THEN BENIDORM!

 

[Hak]

I missed this what are we watching next?

Is MGP still on?

 

[Lucille]

Then probably Ukraine will STILL BE GOING ON.

 

[Penelope]

What a bizarrely baggy show!

Are you joining us for Sanremo next week? We're getting FIVE HOURS STRAIGHT every night

I'd forgotten ALL ABOUT Benidorm Fest. I recall that feed was harder to source last year but I made it to about song 6 before passing out.

 

[ButterTart]

Are you joining us for Sanremo next week? We're getting FIVE HOURS STRAIGHT every night

And after that the contest will start

 

[ButterTart]

Forever Yours is up on Spotify already

 

[tommie]

Saw that Warner Music has uploaded the studio version of Elisa's song:

 

[win_the_game]

Performance now on YouTube.

 

[Samuel]

I’m sure this has been said a million times over already, but I’d like to place a bet that Steps will cover ‘Forever Yours’ within the next 5 years, whilst still DRONING ON about Eurovision being beneath them and SO POLITICAL. It’s crying out for a Claire Richards FOGHORN LEGHORN vocal.

 

[Hak]

Even the YouTube AI is shocked

 

[dUb]

Loved Lisa’s song!

Where are my Ajaxinators?

 

[Velvet Skies]

What was going on with the heart ? In previous years it was flaming up for every act but tonight it looked flat almost all the time...
Seeing it briefly popping during Elisa's chorus was thrilling

 

[Velvet Skies]

Also I hope Marie Serneholt books up for a songwriting camp (and singing lessons) tomorrow, I would LOVE a 2025 entry !

 

[GinAg (39)]

I thought the A*Teens performance was serviceable. I mean WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?

 

[Sheena]

I thought the A*Teens performance was serviceable. I mean WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?

Potentially a little bit of singing…

 

[Tisch]

The audience at Melfest looks so wholesome, do you think anyone’s on cocaine there?

ALL THE PARENTS AND ALL THE CHILDREN

 

[Hak]

PLEASE TRANSLATE

 

[Lucille]

PLEASE TRANSLATE

If I go out alone I'm the bitch
If I have fun, the sluttiest
If I extend and it's daylight
I'm even more of a slut

 

[Pingu]

What was going on with the heart ? In previous years it was flaming up for every act but tonight it looked flat almost all the time...

Nobody was voting for anything.

 

[Kratz]

I do think ‘Awful Liar’ is a lovely song and would make a good entry

 

[Penelope]

I do think ‘Awful Liar’ is a lovely song and would make a good entry

AWFUL LIAR!

 

[Kratz]

Forever Yours is up on Spotify already

More gay rights!

 

[Penelope]

What have the morning after reviews been like in the Swedish media? Suitably scathing I hope?

I mean fuck me - I thought last year's opening heat was bad....
