Posted May 8, 201213 yr Go on Buzzjack, give yourselves a PAT ON THE BACK. We've FINALLY made it to Bracknell! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/56/Red_lion_bracknell_GB.jpg God, what a shithole. Anyway, enough of that, we've got a final to be judging! Over the last three months (omg my timekeeping skills are hideous) we've been whittling down 32 tracks to a final of 10, travelling through some of the worst towns Britain has to offer in order to find our perfect ten. We've lost some right crap along the way (I shan't be MOURNING YOUR DEATH Banan) as well as incurring some possibly undeserved losses (I hear Danny's blocked our mobile number and has spent the last few hours weeping in his dressing room to pictures of Eric, but that's generally how he spends his Tuesday evenings anyway). Nonetheless, we have a hot final ten for you to give some nice sexy pointage! http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4ZKr3E-Vivg/TwtXyWUbAvI/AAAAAAAAAyU/v4S0Ma-hJLo/s1600/Charlotte%20Perrelli%20Melodifestivalen%202012.jpg 01 Charlotte Perrelli - 'The Girl' Text och Musik: Fredrik Kempe och Alexander Johnsson Given the heave-ho in real life, finishing fifth and waving goodbye to any prospect of having a career again in Sweden, the redemptive comeback message of The Girl sounded a little ironic in retrospect. LUCKILY Buzzjack was far kinder, giving R CHARL the Direkt Till Bracknell ticket she so fervently desired, but it's down to you how well she does - let's not forget, anything less than fifth and you're basically CONDEMNING her to a fate as the next Shirley Clamp. http://img859.imageshack.us/img859/6581/marieserneholtv.jpg 02 Marie Serneholt - 'Salt & Pepper' Text och Musik - Lina Eriksson, Mårten Eriksson, Figge Boström Has it really been THAT LONG since that infamous Salt & Pepper perf which immediately destroyed Marie's hard-earned demi-credibility as a pop artiste and the Swedish equivalent of Alesha Dixon? Granted, she probably pushed the comparison a bit too far with an entry which when it came down to it was essentially a poor man's The Boy Does Nothing, but let's not even begin to pretend that was the reason for the massive failure given derivative pop never stopped anybody advancing in Melodifestivalen before (HI DANNY). Yes, what truly destroyed this was the ICONIC YET DISGUSTING soiled glitter catsuit and the utterly terrified frozen performance which brought back memories of Dame Wolf at her finest last year. Still, you all thought this was fun 4 europe enough to go through - but can she make it beyond 10th after qualifying easily out of what was in all honesty the worst heat of the whole thing? http://svt.se/svts/article3328.svt/ALTERNATES/large/Ranelid2.jpg 03 Björn Ranelid feat. Sara Li - 'Mirakel' Text och Musik - Fredrik Andersson and Björn Ranelid I don't really know if there's anything I can say here. It has its FOLLOWING I suppose ~ http://svt.se/svts/article3169.svt/ALTERNATES/large/Molly%20Sand%C3%A9n.jpg 04 Molly Sandén - 'Why Am I Crying' Text och Musik - Aleena Gibson, Molly Sandén and Windy Wagner Short of Silas does anybody even really care about this bitch? Well, enough of you did to give Empty Room Part II Broken Down (feat. Saade's soiled y-fronts) a ticket straight to Bracknell Community Hospital Theatre, but will this vanilla ho set enough hearts alight to make it top three in this? http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FKt6J2qoobE/TwtYzxxmoqI/AAAAAAAAAzE/u-MW8_V548k/s1600/Lisa%20Miskovsky%20Melodifestivalen%202012.jpg 05 Lisa Miskovsky - Why Start A Fire? Text och Musik: Lisa Miskovsky, Aleksander With, Bernt Rune Stray och Berent Philip Moe. Oh LISE. My personal muse for about a month, Why Start A Fire was everything I wanted from a Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart pastiche, and MORE. OK, so it didn't set phones alight when it came to the final, but that's what this sort of online contest is ALL ABOUT - righting injustices to make a community of online homosexuals feel SLIGHTLY BETTER http://members.lycos.co.uk/jodylei/Smilies/david.gif http://svt.se/svts/article3163.svt/ALTERNATES/large/Love%20Generation.jpg 06 Love Generation - 'Just A Little Bit' Text och Musik - RedOne, John Mamann, Jean-Claude Sindres, Teddy Sky, Yohanna Simon and Bilal 'The Chef' Hajji Despite everything conspiring against them, the three remaining members of Love Generation have SOMEHOW made it to Bracknell - feel GOOD, esoteric song contest lovers of Buzzjack, you've saved some careers! Of course there's basically no hope of them making it past the end of this month without hitting the red light districts to supplement their incomes, but just getting to the final is what matters, right? *silence* http://svt.se/svts/article3156.svt/ALTERNATES/large/Sonja%20Alden2.jpg 07 Sonja Aldén - 'I din himmel' Text och Musik - Sonja Aldén, Bobby Ljunggren and Peter Boström I LUH U BUZZJACK. Darling Sonja, with the finest ballad 2012 has yet seen (SHUT IT LALEH), made it to the final AGAINST ALL ODDS and that's all that matters for me now *.* Of course she's likely to end up finishing last or somesuch from now on but hey, at least it's a bit more to do than sixth and OUT at the first hurdle. http://svt.se/svts/article3155.svt/ALTERNATES/large/David%20Lindgren.jpg 08 David Lindgren - 'Shout It Out' Text och Musik - Fernando Fuentes and Tony Nilsson Sweden's #1 cack-eyed export David ended up doing SORT OF well in the final with this sub-Taio wankery, but then I'm probably not the target market. How high, Buzzjack? http://svt.se/svts/article3329.svt/ALTERNATES/large/Timoteij1.jpg 09 Timoteij - 'Stormande hav' Text och Musik - Kristian Lagerström, Johan Fjellström, Stina Engelbrecht and Jens Engelbrecht NOW WE'RE TALKING. Hopefully these hot ethno-schlager sluts will be DROPPING THE INSTRUMENTATION and giving this EVENT PIECE the Corrs-on-poppers choreography it always deserved, as god knows I was IMAGINING as much when I spent half of February oh twelve lip synching the shit out of this (to the extent my mediocre Swedish skills allowed) and dreaming of a Kom-style 5th place revolution in the final. Alas, it WASN'T TO BE - but it CAN BE for you this week. It just needs your votes. COME ON THERE'S NOT MUCH BETTER LEFT http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/4884/loreen2.jpg 10 Loreen - 'Euphoria' Text och Musik - Thomas G:son, Peter Boström OH. Well, let's at least CONSIDER the other tracks. OK, this is probably going to be a landslide, but let's not forget who we LAST said that about (even though Loreen is no Danny and she's basically half-sanctified already in Buzzhearts). Still, NO TACTICAL VOTING, we're AFTER A WINNER (etcetc) -x- ANYWAY. As this is the final and there are TEN tracks you may now vote for SEVEN of them. Voting is as follows: 12 10 08 06 04 02 01 (So that's the same as the heats, but with an extra point at the end) The tracks in copy-paste format: 1. Charlotte Perrelli - The Girl 2. Marie Serneholt - Salt & Pepper 3. Björn Ranelid feat. Sara Li - Mirakel 4. Molly Sandén - Why Am I Crying? 5. Lisa Miskovsky - Why Start A Fire? 6. Love Generation - Just A Little Bit 7. Sonja Aldén - I din himmel 8. David Lindgren - Shout It Out 9. Timoteij - Stormande hav 10. Loreen - Euphoria If you don't have the tracks, kill yourself. Alternately, go over the previous Buzzfest threads and consult Brister Chjörkman's advice. Votes are to be sent to ME (Tirren) by PM by Wednesday 16th May 6pm. Do TRY to vote.

May 9, 201213 yr Thought I'd vote in this! Clearly my votes will skew the expected results violently of course.
May 11, 201213 yr I am still devastated about my future husband's demise in the backwards town of Bury St Edmunds, however I will recompose myself enough to vote at some point.
