Is it too early to start discussing wants/predictions for Mel Fest 2017?

Posted by: Qassändra May 28 2016, 07:41 PM

It is never too early.

Posted by: Martyn May 28 2016, 08:32 PM

I think that Agnes might give in and go for it in 2017. I would love to see Ola do it again. I can't see Samir + Viktor trying again for a few years. I suspect of Wiktoria isn't back for 2017 then she will be for 2018. I get the feeling it will be only 3 or 4 big names/returns and a lot of new to Melfest.

I hope Apolo 5 (I think they are called that) don't do it. I saw them when I was in Stockholm and I've never heard a group hit as many bum notes as they did. They rightly looked embarrassed.

Posted by: Qassändra Jul 13 2016, 01:07 AM

I've been revisiting 2016 again for the last year and GOD it was a classic. On that note, WISHLIST for 2017

- Seinabo Sey with a thinly-veiled rewrite of her ballad version of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVzklH3Djbk
- Mimi Werner going full-fat with an unashamed Rednex collab
- Danny Saucedo with a half-baked Molly Sandén co-write
- The ULTIMATE TRIAD OF DESPERADOS returning for FULL JUSTICE: Linda Bengtzing, Shirley Clamp, and Molly P-H for youth appeal
- Saraha selling out with a transparent Western pop track with a bongo slapped on top
- Lisa Ajax discovering the ability to project sex appeal and entering another sultry gem
- Dolly Style with three totally different members again on a track written by Björn Ranelid
- ISA back for revenge with a Kempe winner
- dr. alban feat. Dinah Nah - THE RECKONING
- Charlotte Perrelli on a Sarah Dawn Finer megaballad so she can finally redeem her name by making it to AC

See you in 13 months when he comes out as a homosexual.

This isn't surprising is it? I actually thought this was common knowledge anyway, especially if you read his blog.

ESC Insight have posted a really interesting insight (kink.gif) into the MF jury process. It's too long to quote over but there's http://escinsight.com/2016/09/05/melodifestivalen-jury-invitation-ben-roberston/ and http://escinsight.com/2016/09/12/melodifestivalen-jury-song-elimination/.

Host(s) announcement tomorrow at 11:00 CET! I suppose it's unlikely for it to be Gina again?

Posted by: Martyn Sep 29 2016, 12:54 PM

Exciting. I hope it is her. She is great at it.

Posted by: gooddelta Sep 30 2016, 09:43 AM

Clara Henry (a vlogger), David Lindgren and Hasse Andersson will host...interesting choices, Clara I think will be very professional and could have some tricks up her sleeve, Hasse will probably provide some charming skits and comedy while David is just a budget Mans/Danny really, but I don't know how good his presenting is.

David is from the theatre I believe. So should be ok. I hope.

Clara Henry if I remember rightly did the 'Eftersnack' or whatever it's called back in 2014, she was quite good.

Not wildly over enthusiastic about the other 2 choices personally!

Posted by: Iz~ Sep 30 2016, 11:49 AM

Hasse? biggrin.gif BRING IT ON.

Especially if he has something akin to an impromptu guld och gröna skogar up his sleeve at some point.

Posted by: gooddelta Sep 30 2016, 12:08 PM

Hasse makes more sense as a presenter than a contestant, even though Guld och gröna skogar did surprisingly well, and was in the Swedish charts for ages too. I don't think he'd pull off the same trick again as a contestant but it's nice to have him around.

David Lindgren is really the only concern for me here as he's so personality-free, but as Martyn says, he's been in theatre so perhaps he can pretend to be more interesting laugh.gif

Posted by: AdamAloud Oct 11 2016, 12:10 PM

The rumour mill is underway and the first names from Aftonbladet are boyband The Fooo Consipiracy, Lisa Ajax, Elisa Lindström and Ida LaFontaine!

Posted by: Liаm Oct 11 2016, 12:33 PM

Ida is definitely one I'd love to see, Anthem was amazing and I can just imagine how incredible she'd be in ththe context of MF with say a Kempe or Joy/Linnea Deb write *.*

Lisa could also be back with a vengeance, My Heart Wants Me Dead should have done better.

Posted by: JosephStyles Oct 11 2016, 12:42 PM

Intrigued by The Fooo Conspiracy, I loved this song of theirs earlier this year:



(although I didn't like the follow-up so much)

Posted by: Ryan. Oct 11 2016, 12:47 PM

Someone I know in Sweden says that The Fooo have the type of rabid fanbase that will take them straight to the final and potentially beyond, based on the song I listened of theirs last night I would hope the international juries will save us from them.

Posted by: RobBob Oct 11 2016, 03:10 PM

Yeah, The Fooo were a pretty big deal there a few years ago.

IDA LAFONTAINE! Hendinia represent clearly.

Posted by: Aaron. Oct 15 2016, 08:55 AM

It may be good to have a well known band compete (didn't seem to work for Alcazar tho). I've yet to see a Duo or Group win Melodifestivalen in the 9 years I've watched.

Posted by: gooddelta Oct 31 2016, 09:45 AM

Tickets are on sale today! I've just got some for the final, yassss for the first time since 2009! biggrin.gif I can only dream that the final is of a similar standard to that year.

Posted by: J▲hq Oct 31 2016, 10:18 AM

Just thought 'what the hell, why not' and bought two tickets for the rehearsal for the final on the Friday evening, if anyone wants to tag along so I can enjoy the experience with someone else. laugh.gif Was very tempted to get a ticket for the actual final but cost (and I have 5th-11th March off work so can fly back before the final if I'm at work on the Sunday :')).

Posted by: Silas Oct 31 2016, 11:57 AM

I'm in the states during the final otherwise I'd have attempted to get tickets for it. Ah well, another year

I got final tickets for quite a reasonable cost (£36 each) though they're right at the very back. The prices quickly rise quite steeply for better seats though. I won't get there in time for the rehearsal sadly (I guess I could go to the Sat lunchtime one but think I'd rather immerse myself in Stockholm instead seeing as I'll see it in the evening, plus I'll be with my girlfriend and not sure she'd be too impressed if I devote the whole day to it laugh.gif)

Posted by: Liаm Nov 7 2016, 05:28 PM

Alice Svensson !!!

I Wanna Live was one of my early BJSC 12s, what a tune. Great to see Ida debuting too and Mariette/Lisa/Wiktoria back with a vengeance *.*

Posted by: Qassändra Nov 7 2016, 05:40 PM

I think mine are about double the cost to be sat on the floor. laugh.gif Hoping to make a proper trip of it and stop for three nights so I'll be coming to you for tips on things to see etc. heehee.gif Plans are in motion to go with Ryan too!

Will be very excited for Ace as long as it's not another step down in quality.

Posted by: Aaron. Nov 7 2016, 07:21 PM

Am I the only one not excited by this list?! It just seems like a strong rehash of last year. I'm sure Robin/Ace are set to go DTF. There's also a strong chance Lisa and Wiktoria would go DTF too. The only one from last year I wouldn't see having almost a surefire chance would be Boris; but.... he made the Final last year with his piss poor song.

Mariette and The Fooo Conspiracy also have DTF written all over them. It's almost like we know who's going to be in the Final based on this list 3 Months before Melodifestivalen even begins.

Don't get me wrong. They could all crash an burn with a shitty song. I'm just not excited to see so many people that were in the Final last year attempting this again. You had your chance.

Posted by: RobBob Nov 7 2016, 08:30 PM

Ace with G:Son is something I am VERY excited for if it's true.

Posted by: LexC Nov 18 2016, 04:34 PM

http://www.aftonbladet.se/nojesbladet/melodifestivalen/artisterna/article23941530.ab suggesting some group called De vet du and 2015 runner-up Jon-Henrik Fjällgren, who'd surely go into the competition as the favourite are in this year's lineup.

I could get behind a Jon-Henrik song if it was in the vein of something like "Vi är starka" and the alternative is likely to be the Foo Conspiracy who I can already tell will be about four times as punchable as Satan's baby.

Jon-Henrik can stay away please.

Posted by: J▲hq Nov 19 2016, 11:06 PM

Happy to have Jon-Henrik back but I'm also a bit apprehensive, his last entry was so special and standout and I don't know if he'll be able to re-create that spark, more of the same wouldn't surprise in the same way.

Posted by: Qassändra Nov 20 2016, 10:01 PM

Jon-Henrik and his LOVELY BREASTS are ALWAYS welcome in my view

http://bloggar.aftonbladet.se/schlagerbloggen/2016/11/darfor-stoppas-folkkara-profilen-fran-melodifestivalen/ include Nano Omar, Etzia and Anton Hagman (17 year old, probably Kempes new twink). Robin Bengtsson's song is supposedly by Robin Stjernberg and Ida LaFontaine is OUT as well apparently.

Disappointed that it doesn't seem like 2017 is the year Danny returns sad.gif I kinda don't blame him though, he's doing so well without it at the moment that the pressure of having to win it again (and potentially failing) would be too much.

Well if the Swedes have any sense, let's examine the evidence:

Modern, chart friendly music sent by Sweden in 2016: 9th with the juries, 6th on the televote.
Dated schlager sent by Russia in 2016: 5th with the juries, 1st on the televote.

Mostly hyped for Benjamin Ingrosso, The Fooo Conspiracy and Loreen (!) there but plenty of names I recognise so I think I'll be paying this a lot more attention this time round!

Posted by: Conderella Nov 30 2016, 09:28 AM

Charlotte, Dinah and Ace are performing on the same night. OH MY GOD *.*

Deltävling 4 seems like a bloodbath of the runner ups too. Sara, Wiktoria, John Henrik! But at least this means Mariette and Robin are in the final yay

Posted by: Conderella Nov 30 2016, 09:30 AM

Ace Wilder has sadly overtaken the role of always the bridesmaid never the bride. I doubt she'll win this time with so many great names sad.gif

Posted by: Iz~ Nov 30 2016, 10:13 AM

Roger Pontare!!! Yess get it.

Wiktoria, Jon Henrik and Loreen (where did she come from?!) all in the same semi is bound to be brutal. And Alice Svensson's song title looks promising too.

They've rounded up some excellent names this year, all looking very high-profile compared to the last couple of years, and I'm sure the lesser knowns will deliver for at least some of them.

Omg Loreen, you bitch. This is why she kept delaying that damn album

Posted by: Liаm Nov 30 2016, 10:26 AM

Charlotte's is apparently an emotional heartfelt stripped back ballad. FUCK OFF LOVE

Unless I missed it, no Kempe this year?!? 😱 Who the f*** at SVT did he piss off?

Posted by: Qassändra Nov 30 2016, 11:02 AM

He only wrote for Samir & Viktor last year, so I'm guessing he's on a break at the moment. Or maybe just out of ideas? Bobby Ljunggren isn't in this year either.

Oh god... I've sprayed my pants. This partially makes up for Brexit, Trump and generally all shitstorms of 2016.

Posted by: gooddelta Nov 30 2016, 11:31 AM

Yes, roll on 2017!

Mutt Lange? Omg The Fooo to channel Shania and The Corrs with their entry?

Posted by: J▲hq Nov 30 2016, 11:33 AM

Intrigued about the Loreen song, surely she'd walk it if it's even half as good as Euphoria, would the public really pass up the chance. Also excited for Lisa Ajax given she has almost the same writing team as Loreen! Looks to be a fantastic year to have (rehearsal) tickets.

Posted by: gooddelta Nov 30 2016, 11:36 AM

Statements bloody better be one too.

I don't see why she'd turn up with something underwhelming though, if it was guaranteed not to at least have a chance of replicating Euphoria's success then why would she bother?

It does seem like a curious career move only five years later though (also, where did the last five years go?).

Posted by: Qassändra Nov 30 2016, 12:17 PM

Apparently she's looking to go for a 1944 part 2 effect.

Posted by: AdamAloud Nov 30 2016, 12:19 PM

FUCKING HELL at that list *o*

I'd never have predicted Loreen in a million years ohmy.gif

Posted by: Martyn Nov 30 2016, 12:35 PM

I'm so hyped by that list.

Posted by: LexC Nov 30 2016, 01:00 PM

Gahhh so many emotions! If all the people with pedigree deliver them it's gonna be a hella strong year!

Posted by: Qassändra Nov 30 2016, 01:01 PM

I love the song title Running With Lions for Alice Svensson. Judging by Anderz Wrethov being on the credits I think we may be in for a cultural appropriation festival that makes SaraHa look RESERVED *.*

Not at all surprised by that, though with the Debs behind it I imagine it will have more commercial appeal.

Posted by: LexC Nov 30 2016, 01:18 PM

It's either going to be a masterpiece or it's going to be a 'Youniverse' style first draft posing as the final product of unrealised potential (hopefully the former since The Debs are involved).

Posted by: gooddelta Nov 30 2016, 01:30 PM

I really thought she'd be the type of winner to try and distance herself from the contest, I'm so pleased this hasn't proved to be the case but she's got a huge weight of expectation on her with this. I think if it's anything less than a win she might struggle to recover her career (not that it's really going anywhere drama.gif) and be consigned to Euro legacy act, wheeled out every May for one purpose only.

I imagine she's been chained to the studio door and done this on pain of getting dropped, to be honest.

Also loving the fact the Svensktoppen nästa wild card entry is called 'Bound To Fall' laugh.gif

Posted by: RobBob Nov 30 2016, 03:42 PM

Wow, what a strong line up! Was definitely not expecting Loreen to return but watching this over the past few years has taught me to never assume, Saade being one case and the sudden support of an underdog in Frans showing that all it takes is a fantastic song that really captures Sweden's attention.

Expecting some Zara Larsson part II track from Lisa with that title which is exciting, obviously VERY excited for Ace and Dinah in one contest and one semi, someone hold me <3

Posted by: Jonjo Dec 1 2016, 12:14 AM

Poor Ace. Lol. I really hope she gets to represent at some point. But YYYYAAAASSSS! SO HERE for a new Loreen track! But hopefully it doesn't disappoint!

Posted by: Addy K!ng Dec 1 2016, 02:05 AM

Adrijana Krasniqi?!!

She must be from Kosovo with that last name!!!

She’s the Melodifestivalen legend who was expecting a place in Melfest 2017 after being disqualified from the competition earlier this year. But when the 2017 line-up was announced on Wednesday, Anna Book‘s name was not on the list. And she’s spoken out, saying she’s extremely upset at missing out.

At Melodifestivalen 2016, Anna Book’s entry “Himmel för två” was dramatically disqualified. Eurovision fans identified the song as having been based on Felicia Dunaf’s entry in the 2014 Moldovan national final. However, Anna Book was still able to perform the song out of competition at her Melfest semi-final.

SVT reportedly said that Anna would be welcome back at Melodifestivalen 2017, and prolific Melfest songwriter Fredrik Kempe offered to write her an entry. But as Anna told Expressen in October, she was still waiting to hear from both SVT and Kempe.

In a recent interview with Aftonbladet, a tearful Anna revealed that the Melfest team had not approached her regarding 2017. She said she felt betrayed by the Melfest team, especially boss Christer Björkman and project manager Anette Helenius.

Anna told the newspaper, “I’m incredibly disappointed that it is so easy for them to get out of a lot of promises and statements about “this will not happen” and “we will compensate for this”, but you hear nothing.”

Anna says she asked her manager to contact SVT to ask what was happening but did not receive a response.

However, SVT says they have not heard anything from Anna Book. An SVT representative stated: “We have not received any request about Anna Book’s participation in Melodifestivalen 2017 and we have not promised her a place in Melodifestivalen.”

Prolific Melodifestivalen songwriter Fredrik Kempe has been busy this year as a judge on Swedish Idol. He does not have any songs in Melodifestivalen 2017, his first time away from the competition in 11 years.

It does not appear that Anna Book made any effort to organise a song as her potential Melfest entry.

Heartstrings WAS a monster though.

She just wasn't the right artist for the song sad.gif the studio is still incredible.

Posted by: Qassändra Dec 14 2016, 10:15 AM

Lisa Ajax ON SECOND?!

Posted by: RobBob Dec 21 2016, 01:08 AM

I had a weird dream last night where Bella & Filippa won this (or at least I assume so, a female duo won it).

But seriously, Make Me (La La La) just came on my shuffle and I am so excited for this year, the line up is fantastic.

Less than a month now guys! w00t.gif

Posted by: Qassändra Jan 9 2017, 12:30 PM

POOR ROGER PONTARE!

Posted by: AdamAloud Jan 9 2017, 12:37 PM

Some quick predictions I've thrown together, because it's always fun to look back in 2 months time and laugh at your stupidity.

Deltävling 1
DTG: Nano, De Vet Du
AC: Ace Wilder, Boris René
5th: Dinah Nah
6th: Adrijana
7th: Charlotte Perrelli

Nano's song must be a contender to be placed 7th considering some of the other names in here and De Vet Du are going to sweep up the app votes, moreso than Samir & Viktor I'd say sending poor Ace into AC for the first time. Boris probably going the Linus Svenning route of having to do AC both years, leaving Queenah Nah the sacrificial lamb </3

Deltävling 2
DTG: Lisa Ajax, Benjamin Ingrosso
AC: Mariette, Allyawan
5th: Etzia
6th: Dismissed
7th: Roger Pontare

Again the app voters will probably see the last two acts of the night progress direkt although Mariette could cause an upset but for now I've put her down for AC, but I'm confident they'll be the top 3 of this heat and then it could go anyway really, my gut says Allyawan.

Deltävling 3
DTG: The Fooo Conspiracy, Bella & Filippa
AC: Robin Bengtsson, Anton Hagman
5th: Krista Siegfrids
6th: Jasmine Kara
7th: Owe Thörnqvist

There's no way in hell The Fooo Conspiracy aren't going direkt and Bella & Filippa's song must be very good to have been considered to go on 7th if we assume the earlier 'leaked' list was a first draft. That'll probably push Robin down to AC and then Anton Hagman will have the teen girl/gays vote on the app. Krista Siegfrids going to be nu Janet Leon (but with MUCH better vocals).

Deltävling 4
DTG: Loreen, Jon Henrik Fjällgren
AC: Wiktoria, Alice
5th: Axel Schylström
6th: Sara Varga & Juha Mulari
7th: Les Gordons

Loreen of course direkt and then I think Jon Henrik is still incredibly popular enough in Sweden to take the other place, Wiktoria could do it but I think it would take a lot for her to overcome those two power names from the middle of the running order.

Posted by: Izetta Jan 9 2017, 02:54 PM

I feel like I've already heard that Ace Wilder song a month before the fact.

Heat 4 looks like one to look forward to with that opener and closer.

Posted by: gooddelta Jan 9 2017, 03:23 PM

I wouldn't rule out Axel in Heat 4, he's rather popular in Sweden I believe, I'd imagine he'll go to AC over Alice. That aside I think Adam's predix look spot on (assuming some of these artists don't turn up with tragic songs).

STAGE


Posted by: LexC Jan 26 2017, 01:36 PM

Very ANGULAR, me likey!

Posted by: Liаm Jan 26 2017, 06:54 PM

I am gagging for Lisa Ajax to do a Loreen and smash out, I feel like she is more likely than Ace. Ace would have to bring something better than both Busy Doin' Nothin' and Don't Worry which will be hard. I feel like so many big names and returnees, that's too obvious and a randomer will come out of nowhere and threaten the win laugh.gif

Posted by: Martyn Jan 26 2017, 11:56 PM

Love that stage.

Posted by: LexC Jan 30 2017, 08:30 PM

I am so hyped it is unreal. Ready to be scalpT by the one-two of Ace and Dinah (and the thread write-up of Charlotte Perelli, not so much the song she's bringing).
