Welcome to Newton Abbot train station, abandoned due to devastation of a certain train line in the vicinity:

(when I took the replacement bus service recently the waiting room was filled with pictures like this, to fill the prospective traveller with that confidence)

 

This has hosted Buzzjack's run through of Melodifestivalen heat 1, as best it can, and everyone has had a truly marvellous time there. Well... almost everyone.

Still, the business end of the heat has to come now, and that'll be the results. Which I know you're all desperate for, this Tuesday night would not be complete without them.

 

The following people all cast their votes: Eyes, Cassandra, LexC, Silas, Robot, Aaron., RuPavel, Sabrewulf, AdamAloud, 🌚🌚🌚, Tom AlKayZar, ░░░░, Dinlo, Jerick, Liam, O Mie d'Bandit, Jáhq, Alex!, randomfurlong, J°hnkm, gooddelta, and AlexRange. Which is a pretty lovely turnout. :D Now stay with us the entire way. :hitler:

 

I will start presenting at 6pm sharp. Until then, please unleash last minute predictions and hopes to get this thing going.

Woo! I predict Helena & Alvaro direkt til Grimsby and Elisa & YOHIO til Arundel.

Okay, so... let's start with a huge shock that no-one saw coming:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Going out in last place is.... SYLVESTER SCHLEGEL

http://wiwibloggs.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Sylvester-Schlegel-Melodifestivalen-2-600x344.jpg

 

Sylvester amassed a paltry total of just TWELVE points. Eight of those were from AlexRange. I'm not sure there's any way that score could be more damning.

HAHA! Oh Alex, you never cease to amaze me.

Predicting

 

DTG: Helena, Alvaro

AC: Ellen, YOHIO

5th: Elisa Lindstrom

6th: Mahan Moin

7th: Linus Svenning

 

Not sure where it's gonna go though!

That means he scored 4 points from people who aren't Alex. NAME AND SHAME/BAN

The rest of the competition have amassed significantly more points than poor Sylvester so it gets a lot tighter from here. All of them got at least one 12 too.

 

Out in seventh place is....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LINUS SVENNING

Knowledge that his brother died fails to move heartless Buzzjack, even with his pretty decent ballad. Linus gained 94 points, including a 12 from Jáhq, and 10s from Dinlo, Jerick and Johnkm but won't be going anywhere near the final on this runthrough.

That means he scored 4 points from people who aren't Alex. NAME AND SHAME/BAN

 

One from O Mie and Jake, and TWO from JakeWild.

 

What have we done? *insert moonface*

Shame on you, Jahq, shame on you.

I gave linus 4 points. 1 for the song and 3 for a certain photo...

Okay, getting towards the part where it really gets a little tight. All of the top 6 gained over 100 points, but the one who won't be making it to the top 5 is...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

YOHIO

:cry:

 

YOU bast*rds. I thought you LIKED him more this time.

 

YOHIO gained 12s from me and Aaron, along with a 10 from gooddelta, but while Linus was collecting mostly 1s, YOHIO collected a far wider variety of scores and finished with 101 points.

 

This means two of the eventual finalists from this heat have already dropped, both of them male, with only Alvaro repping the males in the top 5. Are we going to have an all-female top 4?

Meh at Yohio. It did grow by the final but I still think it was a rather weak effort.

 

Shame on you, Jahq, shame on you.

 

It was the best thing in a weak heat OK!! :cry:

 

I gave linus 4 points. 1 for the song and 3 for a certain photo...

 

Yeah that didn't exactly harm matters.

Now we have the top 5, let's announce the first finalist. Will it be someone you approve of, someone to look up to and most importantly, a good song? :o

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Going DIREKT TIL GRIMSBY is... HELENA PAPARIZOU

Obviously.

It's good to have non-mainstream taste. :)

Helena's coming to Grimsby :cheer:

It's good to have non-mainstream taste. :)

 

Of course it is. All tastes are welcomed here, I can hardly talk most of the time. it was just rather notable that he was on a mere four points RIGHT until the last vote received, which was yours.

"Survivor" is the one from my least favourite MF songs in this year.

I was hoping for a more MF type of results show :(

Slaylena!

Is it not? I've announced 6th, 7th and 8th before revealing the qualifiers and I'm going to announce the rest in exactly the order they normally do in the heat.
