February 7, 201510 yr Predictions based on the 2:30 versions DTG: Eric, Molly AC: Rickard/Elize, Dolly Style 5th: Jessica Andersson 6th: Behrang/Victor 7th: Daniel 'Can't Hurt Me Now' is very MF ballad by numbers, which is brilliant but I'm unsure if Sweden wants that again.
February 7, 201510 yr Hello Hi and One By One are fabulous in Studio! And Sting is very good as well (I agree with the general sentiments here that it was always going to be better in studio). Right now I'm thinking DTF: Sting, One By One AC: I'll Be Fine, Hello Hi/Can't Hurt Me Now 5th: Can't Hurt Me Now/Hello Hi 6th: Det rar vi inte for 7th: Pappa
February 7, 201510 yr Author FABULOUS heat 01 - Dolly Style - Listening to this felt like a moment of spiritual redemption for MF and an apology for all the po-faced bollocks we've had to go through the last few years. Easily the most fun debut entry since Le Kid, and it plays like a celebration of some of the great joys of MF past (Caracola, Mirakel, Velvet) and gives the same kind of sugar high we only got from Blame It On The Disco last year and Rockin' The Ride and the Wives the year before - who knew YOHIO could birth such beauty? I am already stitching my Molly P-H voodoo doll for when this inevitably goes out in the first round 02 - Eric - I can't deal with his last-roll-of-the-dice BBC Three presenter act now he has a horrid withered face but somewhere in a coke haze in America Zayn and Liam just savaged their agent for not getting to this first. 03 - Ell & Rikki - As long as Rickard can rein in his big ham and Yewtree tendencies and they can manage a basic semblance of tenor fag + soprano hag chemistry this sounds like a pretty safe 'Björn & Björnetta in the Umeå suburbs' mum vote qualifier. I kind of don't really know what to expect from the last thirty seconds though, it doesn't really sound from the 2:30 clip like it has anywhere left to go. 04 - Jessica Andersson - I could play the entirety of this song in my head apart from the absence of a key change, and we all know how much that formula hurt the Wives. It'll need enough Björnettas to sneak through an extra vote and hide it on the phone bill to stand a chance but at least she'll probably give herself better odds than Shirley by not turning up looking like the recycling 05 - Behrang och Victor - I'd sleep with them both in a second, but this kind of production where the whole focus is placed on the lyrics in the verses only works so much for me for foreign language rap (I'd have preferred a Panetoz type production where I could've at least satiated myself with feel good vibes while he talked about how hard life is as a socially conscious librarian). The hook's nice enough but this is basically 2:20 of filler until that absolutely GARGANTUAN key change which kind of puts the whole of MF 2013 to shame. THIS IS HOW YOU SOUND REAL WHILE PAYING LIP SERVICE TO WHAT YOU HAVE ENTERED 06 - Molly P-H - I kind of couldn't really care less until the middle eight and that money note which I really hope gets a JANET LEON style botching. 07 - Daniel Gildenlow - fucking hell no wonder he left you
February 7, 201510 yr Love the fact everyone all over the web seems to have done a complete U-turn on Eric! :cheer: Studio version is amazing!
February 7, 201510 yr I'm blown away by just how FANTASTIC One By One is in studio form. It's like Amaranthe does Within Temptation minus any screaming; I was actually trying (but failing) to rein in my excitement because Elize hasn't been outstanding away from Amaranthe before, but this is brilliant. It MUST go DTF. Hello Hi is great also, Daniel doesn't sound THAT bad honestly http://www.moopy.org.uk/forums/images/smilies/grin.gif But I would still go: 1. Elize & Rickard 2. Dolly Style 3. Eric 4. Behrang & Victor 5. Jessica 6. Molly P-H 7. Daniel as none of the others could be described as whiny - good heat. I'm surprised I like Sting actually but it sounds pretty current, but then I am still looking forward to seeing how well he messes it up live.
February 7, 201510 yr Author The point of Eric is that there's always a SHADY LADY in the wings to save him from TOTAL voxastrousness
February 7, 201510 yr Prediction after hearing all the 2:30s... DTG: Eric, Rickard/Elize AC: Molly, Jessica 5th Dolly Style 6th Behrang/Victor 7th Daniel Hello Hi could easily go AC too I think, and I'd be inclined to think it'd be at the expense of Jessica. I agree it's very similar to Why Am I Crying, which is wonderful but I think that could easily do it a disservice... Fab heat though, I'd be happy with any of my predicted too 5 going AC. One by One sounds much better in studio form that it did from the clip, as does Sting. I'll Be Fine and Hello Hi are my picks for DTG though if I were to choose who went through <3
February 7, 201510 yr I'm torn. I don't want to listen to the clips but I KNOW I will be doing that next week so what's the point
February 7, 201510 yr Thinking about it, I'd quite like 'Hello Hi' to go to AC. Under the new rules it would mean we get the full studio version tonight :kink:
February 7, 201510 yr Countdown? When does this start again? 10 Swedish time, so like 2 and a half hours?
February 7, 201510 yr I thought it was always 7 our time, so half an hour? :P I was gonna ask too actually, I was working on that assumption.
February 7, 201510 yr I thought it was always 7 our time, so half an hour? :P I was gonna ask too actually, I was working on that assumption. Usually they have a countdown video on the website but I can't find it.
February 7, 201510 yr Yep it's 7pm UK time! (And so is the Danish final which is more important) LEAVE
February 7, 201510 yr http://www.svt.se/melodifestivalen/se-prog...15-deltavling-1 21 Minutes. The countdown will load the video once the show starts!
February 7, 201510 yr LEAVE I will take up residence in the lovely Denmark thread with pleasure! :wub:
