Apols for the delay, I was tired so I took a nap. But fear not, I am here to put in my usual 30-60% effort and provide you with the correct dosages of scandi-fabulousness and imminent career death that you need.

I will be announcing who is facing off against who in each duel before giving the results of said duel and so on until we've shaved AC by half and we have our full finalen line up. So, without further ado

DUEL ETT
i det blå hörnet...

Jessica Andersson - Can't Hurt Me Now

Posted by: Ryan. 20th April 2015, 08:00 PM

I need Isa to go through tonight or I will throw a tantrum.

Posted by: LexC 20th April 2015, 08:02 PM

och , i den gula hörnet
Annika Herlitz - Ett Andetag


So it's classic MF ballad versus classic MF ballad as Jessica and Annika fight to the death for a spot in Lincoln town hall for the final (assuming Rob can still be bothered to host this thing).

Who will succeed? Who has had the most work done? Who has the best hair?...all will be revealed soon!

Posted by: Ryan. 20th April 2015, 08:03 PM

Annika please!

Posted by: Iz~ 20th April 2015, 08:06 PM

That has to be Annika. Light years ahead in the quality stakes.

Posted by: LexC 20th April 2015, 08:10 PM

Going til Lincoln is...



Annika! Complete with her Carola force wind machine and a pose that resembles Shirley Clamp after a drastic liposuction/nuclear explosion (I don't know what it is about Swedish balladeers and the one leg out the dress pose but it's a trope that appears more often than you'd think).

Now onto DUEL TVA

i det blå hörnet...


Are Samir & Viktor AS doomed as you'd think they'd be coming into this round? Let's see who they're up against...

Posted by: LexC 20th April 2015, 08:15 PM

och , i den gula hörnet


So it's tacky pop from 2015 vs tacky pop from the mid 80s. Which one of these guilty pleasures will we bestow with the right to compete in the BuzzFest finalen?

Posted by: Ryan. 20th April 2015, 08:16 PM

Samir & Viktor please, but I predict it'll not be them.

Posted by: Iz~ 20th April 2015, 08:16 PM

NEITHER PLEASE

Posted by: LexC 20th April 2015, 08:21 PM

Unfortunately I am not Pavel so one of them IS going through. That one going through is....






















































Midnight Boy! I guess that decision shows that the BuzzMasses would rather spend a night down at the local provincial gay bar than their local branch of Oceana.

Good lord how did that disco queen qualify

Posted by: LexC 20th April 2015, 08:25 PM

Since we're in the mode of putting controversial-among-online-homosexuals-but-loved-by-the-Swedish-public songs to their deaths, lets see if this one will suffer the same fate

DUEL TRE
i det blå hörnet...

Posted by: LexC 20th April 2015, 08:29 PM

och , i den gula hörnet

Elize Ryd & Rickard Söderberg - One By One


So Ell n Rikki are up against Jon Henrik in the duel of inspirational mid tempo numbers. The kitch of the stage show for Jag ar fri versus the high camp of Queen Rickard. I'm torn to be honest, let's see how it's gone down...

Posted by: Ryan. 20th April 2015, 08:30 PM

This must be Jon Henrik surely?

Posted by: LexC 20th April 2015, 08:36 PM

(Rickard Söderberg photographic archives opening soon xox)

so Ell n Rikki vanquish the Sami Scoundrel back to the Arctic circle and get a free bus pass til Lincoln, slay Qweens

Posted by: LexC 20th April 2015, 08:41 PM

Well then, you know the two who are left now so your final duel is youth vs experience

DUEL FYRA

i det blå hörnet...

ISA - Don't Stop


och , i den gula hörnet

Magnus Carlsson - Möt mig i Gamla Stan


Fresh faced Isa squares off against Freshly (re)faced Magnus in a battle of the uptempo pop ditties. Whichever one goes out here, I suspect it will be a shocker!

Posted by: Iz~ 20th April 2015, 08:44 PM

If I had been paying attention for that duel I would have been so tense Lex. My 1st and 3rd favourite songs of the year up against each other and one of them is OUT? At least I still have Elize & Rickard.

Posted by: LexC 20th April 2015, 08:49 PM

And going through from the final duel we have....








































































a song from...

Awful results, the only good one was the duel I was least bothered about.

Posted by: Lee_J11 20th April 2015, 09:03 PM

Absolutely FABULOUS results, colour me THRILLED *.*

Posted by: Vülker 20th April 2015, 09:26 PM

Amazeballs results!

Posted by: J▼hnkm 20th April 2015, 09:40 PM

OMG YES at those results, didn't want either from the last one but so happy to see the BASIC out, even if old plasticgayface wins out instead. The first duel should BOTH have been through, but I am so happy for Annika after how damn close the semi was.

Posted by: Tom Kaymakoski 20th April 2015, 10:36 PM

YAAAAASSSSSSS MAGNUS The only result I would have liked to go the other way would be Jessica over Annika but good enough fir me ~

Posted by: AdamAloud 21st April 2015, 04:10 PM

My top 4 all through *.*

Posted by: LexC 21st April 2015, 04:16 PM

Linus Svenning - Forever Starts Today
Kristin Amparo - I See You

That is a KILLER final, basically all my favourites of the year in there bar Jessan.

Posted by: LB1108 22nd April 2015, 10:39 AM

Totally echo the comment above - That final is nothing short of ASTOUNDING

Posted by: Ryan. 25th April 2015, 04:16 PM

Where's the final Rob?

Posted by: Robot 26th April 2015, 07:12 PM

Will get it up tonight!

Posted by: Ryan. 26th April 2015, 07:31 PM

!

People need to make sure that is read in context!

Posted by: LexC 26th April 2015, 07:57 PM

Yes but when are you putting the thread up?

Posted by: Conderella 26th April 2015, 09:43 PM

Boy still cant get it up. And so young too
