Greetings all!

As has been pointed out to me, we have almost a week until the deadline of the current Moopyfestivalen 2021 Final (after only 7 months!). So for those of you who want something to get over and done quickly, this is for you! :beer:

I'm going to organise a one-off special in which Moopy users can revisit a MelFest from the past and have their voice shared on it. This edition will be very quick. Once the year has been decided, I will open the thread within an hour, and voting will be open until Monday/Tuesday, with swift next day results! Short and simple speedrun. :disco:

So first things first, let's select a year. And as to why these years are your options? They're the ones where I can actually find all the live performances on YouTube. :D

1989 has some Swedish legends in it but to my ears Lili & Susie and Haakon Pederson should have been TOP 2.

I don’t know 1991 very well but I have sat through it, along with the rest of the 90s, and I can say that as a whole that decade needs to be avoided altogether. Just dreadful! 1998 is probably the worst ever, 1999 a welcome WIND of CHANGE!

2001 was very derided in the press at the time. The feelings around this were so strong that it started the ball rolling in terms of Christer Bjorkman being called by SVT and asked if he could help them find a wider range of artists who might be interested in competing in a rebooted contest the following year. The songs themselves are very derivative of the pop music that was popular pre-9/11 and so are quite interesting from that point of view, but the actual show itself as an entertainment spectacle is poor. I love it! Ellinor Franzen is one of the all-time great lost Britney singles. Had she not been stranded in the Arctic Ocean a year later then it was her that was due to sing Runaway at Eesti Laul 2002. Sahlene dutifully stepped in….
