Do we have a list of what the criteria is? Would MARIETTE in A Million Years mode count for EXAMPLE?
Genre is Schlager!

Helen Fischer is the golden example of a modern schlager queen, if you want to submit someone like Mariette or Loreen then you better have a good rationale for it!
 
living and/or being able to move around
I've gotten an inquiry about the definition of "living and/or being able to move around".

The answer is we can't be too picky. Anyone undecomposed enough to be shoveled into a wheelbarrowed and shuttled around the stage by two slightly overweigh Bjorkman ex hook-ups is eligible. Of course we favour those of Eva Rydberg's vigour or better.
 
I’ve gotten another inquiry about who’s included in the definition of “Schlager Queens”?
- We don’t discriminate based on sex, anyone who could arguably be defined as a Schlager Queen is eligible!
 
Welcome to the show guys!
During the show you can vote with your hearts ♡♡♡♡♡ and after the jury will give the best queens 1 to 12 points!
 
Schlager Queen #1
We'll start things off with our beloved Pernilla Wahlgren!


Age: 43

Pernilla feels like a bit of an UNDERPERFORMING Schlager diva. Considering she seems to have been a genuinely big star in the 80s and 90s (locally only, of course) she hasn't racked up particularly impressive Melfest receipts.

I do of course love her abiding aura of EVIL. :disco:

 
Once on a Swedish holiday with @Suomi, we went for a pre-Melfest dinner with his fabulous friend Isabelle's chain-smoking Swedish mother.

In my halting Swedish I attempted some chit chat about my favourite 'Schlager divas'

"Lena Philipsson, Shirley Clamp, Sonja Alden..."

The mum then took the deepest drag of her cigarette and growled "Sonja är INGEN Schlagerdiva" (Sonja is NO Schlagerdiva)

It was quite a moment :disco: I can't entirely disagree though. She's more of a BALLADEER.
 
Schlager Queen #4

Sahlene


Age: 44
Mello Entries: 2 (1)
Best Placement: 5th in SF (3rd at ESC)
Worst Placement: Second to last in SF

No?! What is this then:
 
THAT'S the video you choose for Sahlene? :D

I don't know why Sweden perversely decided they HATE HER, but We're Unbreakable definitely deserved a whole lot better than it got.

 
Pernilla’s for a marvellous 80s album I forget the title of with this hangover and “Let Your Spirit Fly” is one of the all time great runners up.

I can entirely live without Sonja, though. Massive MEH.
 
Skewing too young are we? Well then here's one for the ages:

Schlager Queen #5


Siw Malmkvist


Age: 84
Mello Entries: 4
Best Placement: 1st (10th at ESC)
Worst Placement: 10th in the Finalen
 
Pernilla's 80s albums have recently started popping up on Spotify UK which is MOST gratifying.

Jenny silver gets ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♡ from me.
She's so good but there's just still something lacking there. Might it be depth?

To be fair to poor Sahlene, she was 61 VOTES away from Andra Chansen with We're Unbreakable. :D / :( It was back when only 4 songs went to the second round of voting, instead of 5. Probably might've made it if she had competed with this in 2004.
