His right eyebrow looks bizarrely long... and straight.

A sign of heterosexuality to ward off all those gays lusting after him!

I just hope JTR don't get through unless they're at least 100x better than they were on X Factor. Not forgiven Nat Bass for even letting them on the live stage!

Not sure how lucky Andreas Johnson will continue to be. Then again maybe this is his chance to Sanna the competition *.*

And by the way, how AWFUL is Eric's press picture

SVT have uploaded nearly every Melodifestivalen from 1974 to 2005 on their archive site!

However I can't get them to play so I fear they may be Sweden only. :(

Get Hola Better Internet love *.*

 

OMG AT THIS THO!

Get Hola Better Internet love *.*

 

 

My evening's sorted!!

Speaking of Nanne I'm completely obsessed with this again recently (mainly because I've recently compiled a top 100 of 1996 playlist, where it came 2nd - behind Gina G natch). Every time this song hits me I find it difficult to let it go:

 

 

I still categorically CANNOT at Eimear Quinn seeing off both One More Time AND Gina G, what were the juries actually on?

When I attempt to load the video's I get: den här videon är tyvärr inte tillgänglig (this video is unfortunately not available)

 

It ain't internet speed coz mine is insanely good so it looks like it's a country block :( Boo. (Googles for Swedish VPN's)

They better not prevent us live streaming the show this year.

 

 

Also why do the smilies still have santa hats on? This is very bad luck.

I have finally found this moment of life again:

 

 

1.22.07 is your friend. What a wonderfully ridiculous old fart!

HERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREGUD *.*

 

I love Mattias' look of utter disbelief that he is out :lol:

I think anyone would feel the same!

With just over two weeks to go until Sweden starts its mammoth selection process, Christer Bjorkman has announced another change to the Melodifestivalen format today. It concerns the songs that reach the Andra Chansen round and a change that has been made to SVT’s previously strict policy on songs being made available to the public after their heats.

 

Whereas before, qualifiers to the final and the second chance round would be barred from release or airplay until the end of the final heat, now the Andra Chansen qualifiers will be released digitally straight after their heats, and will also be played on the radio. The direct finalists will still be embargoed as they have been in previous years, until all 28 competing songs have been heard.

 

According to show producer Christer Bjorkman, this rule change will create “a more exciting competition” and will “create better conditions for the songs to become classics that will stick in people’s minds.”

 

This change will no doubt draw criticism for giving the 3rd and 4th placed songs more exposure than the direct qualifiers, but Christer Bjorkman argues that this is a positive change:

 

The eight songs that are in the final are the viewers’ absolute favourites, so they have already been talked about. Once they are released, everything is focused on them; this has always been the case and it will not be changed by this. The change means that we have more exposure to more songs. How this will affect the results, we don’t know, but it creates exciting opportunities.

 

This change is the latest in a series of tweaks to the format this year, including reducing the number of competing songs from 32 to 28, and changing the Andra Chansen format to allow for more finalists. Let us know whether you think these changes will improve the competition by commenting below, or on the escXtra Facebook or Twitter.

Interesting decision. Surely this puts whatever comes third in Heat 1 a big advantage over the other AC songs?

A good decision even if just because those few weeks of waiting for the Heat 1 highlights in proper studio form is hell :kink:

Maybe. But then the heat 4 AC songs had an advantage of still being fresh in people's minds when it came to AC. So I think this balances it out nicely.

Andra Chansen songs are constantly some of the best songs so good change

I still categorically CANNOT at Eimear Quinn seeing off both One More Time AND Gina G, what were the juries actually on?

I agree about 'Den Vilda', I cannot actually believe that even Bettan came in 2nd before them! It's not like I love 'The Voice' and 'I Evighet', but 'Den Vilda' was in a league of it's own.
