Schlagerprofilerna is like my Bible around this time and I've been reading Oswalds Popcorn for years. That <I>does</I> make Anna and Maria's song sound fantastic. The lovechild of "Vincero" and "Cara Mia" makes "La Voix" sound impossibly fantastic--I've got to get ahold of my skyrocketing expectations at this point, but statements like that make it difficult! And Sarah...we need a fantastic epic ballad. I'll be praying (in between cheering and shouting, I'm sure) that Swedes across the country are dialing the right numbers on Saturday ;) I may not survive either.Poster Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07797812846936450135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30794625.post-17862331112930522062009-02-24T07:56:00.000-05:002009-02-24T07:56:00.000-05:00From what I've heard the Haukaas/Sahlene-song is w...From what I've heard the Haukaas/Sahlene-song is what could be if you let Duffy sing a Bond-theme but was forced to put the worlds biggest ABBA-like schlagerchorus into it at the same time...<BR/><BR/>Isn't that something to die for?<BR/><BR/>At the same time I can just agree about everything you've written about SDF and Malena. Kempe is a god, and the rumours are divine.<BR/><BR/>Malena is said to be the lovechild of his Vincero and Måns Z's Cara Mia, and just as you said; Sarahs song should be the saddest (but biggest) number in a musical right before the break.<BR/><BR/>And THEN we have Agnes. Written by Anders Hansson. I'm not sure I'll survive this.<BR/><BR/>My biggest fear is that everything that is rumoured is true - but my fellow Swedes don't understand it at all and fails to get all the songs into the Globe.<BR/><BR/>Well, in a few days we now.<BR/>I so wish the weekend would come sooner. :)<BR/><BR/>/Schlagerprofilerna-KenOswaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15554412634956082358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30794625.post-71022533049483122992009-02-24T01:19:00.000-05:002009-02-24T01:19:00.000-05:00how embarrassing that apparently i can't even read...how embarrassing that apparently i can't even read :PMyfizzypophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02947668142001550049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30794625.post-37422400552524420792009-02-23T20:55:00.000-05:002009-02-23T20:55:00.000-05:00Len, I hope the Melodifestival audience takes to h...Len, I hope the Melodifestival audience takes to her this time around.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Paul, I think you are mixing up Agnes (Carlsson) and Amy Diamond--Amy is generally more reggae-pop (though her entry this year, which we've already heard, is kind of like a BWO album track since it was co-written by Alexander Bard) whereas Agnes does disco-pop (well, as of recently--she did some great pure pop songs on earlier albums). I'm happy for you that the BWO song is growing on you. It hasn't for me yet, but I would like it to. Their album will still get my attention, though.<BR/><BR/>Bas, I'm excited already! I'm trying to not get my hopes <I>too</I> high, but it's difficult.<BR/><BR/>Alex, that's GREAT to hear! If the song is great, I wouldn't mind you all sending her either. I hadn't heard that Susanne and Mikael song (of course!), so thanks for the tip about it. I like it!<BR/><BR/>Eurosheep, it wouldn't surprise me if four ended up there...and from the sounds of it, I wouldn't mind at all! "I Remember Love" WAS basic and doesn't have that same certain special quality about it as "För att du finns"...but I do have to say that I liked it! Take some consolation from the fact that I think "Våger du, våger jag" is epic. I think you're right about the song on their MySpace, which is puzzling--surely it must be just about as un-MF friendly as it's possible to be, all processed vocals, with a heavy reliance on production, and not straightforwardly catchy in the vocal melody. That said, it's probably more <I>interesting</I> than the vast majority of E.M.D.'s debut album...though interesting doesn't necessarily mean great. We're probably heading for a struggled-through performance, I'd think.Poster Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07797812846936450135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30794625.post-71408322808944216852009-02-23T13:56:00.000-05:002009-02-23T13:56:00.000-05:00Everybody, just everybody is saying that the winne...Everybody, just everybody is saying that the winner is going to come from this semi, and I believe that we're going to have 4 songs from Malmö present in the final!<BR/><BR/>I'm hedging my bets on "La Voix" by Malena Ernman, or as I like to refer to it - the coming of Jesus in Melodifestivalen. If Agnes' entry is anything like "On And On" or "Release Me" or any other song on "Dance Love Pop" then I will be happy. Maybe it was originally meant for the album but Hansson thought it special enough for MF?<BR/><BR/>Please PPG, I hope you agree with me on this but I really did not like Sarah's 2007 entry! Compared to the brilliant "För att du finns" it just seems so basic and almost childish in comparison - and how it ever beat "Vågar du, vågar jag" I will never know!<BR/><BR/>And I had a little look at Next 3's myspace. Interestingly, the song posted there is 3 minutes long and composed by the same people (including Michael) so maybe they submitted 2 songs to SVT and the best one was chosen - what do you think of the song? I am so worried for them though, as you said they're completely new and from their interviews they don't seem very performer-like...we shall see!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30794625.post-6695707773098340622009-02-23T06:13:00.000-05:002009-02-23T06:13:00.000-05:00I have heard AMAZING things about Sarah's entry, i...I have heard AMAZING things about Sarah's entry, it's supposed to be something extra. A friend of mine (who has heard it) says Sarah uses all of her vocal range.<BR/><BR/>I wouldn't mind if we send her to Eurovision, if the song is great - I'd love for Sarah to sing the arse off everyone else!<BR/><BR/>About Susanne, she and Mikael Rickfors recorded a wonderful duet in the 80s, it's one of my favourite Swedish songs.<BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iX5ZdYZAw0g<BR/><BR/>Can't wait to hear Agnes and Sahlene, two of my favourite singers.Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08796608197870714632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30794625.post-88777668015509550472009-02-23T05:12:00.000-05:002009-02-23T05:12:00.000-05:00This heat is gonna be quite exciting!

And of course Agnes, Star Pilots & Maria/Anna are something to look forward too as well.

I didn't realize quite what a goof Malena is, that makes me even more excited about her entry. And thanks for that MF performance of "We're Unbreakable". I knew I loved the track on the MF album, but very impressed at how well Anna's voice translates to the live contest milieu.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
