February 20, 201510 yr aside: cheers for the sparkling write-up, princess also guys..where is the lack of appreciation, the amount of time and effort qassandra puts in and the amount of detail/wit etc BE MORE GRATEFUL you wouldn't get it anywhere else online... i never had bj down as an impolite/ungrateful community! Many of us quite often comment on/praise/live for Tirren's write-ups. I always really enjoy them but only really comment if there's something I specifically want to quote/agree/disagree with. But he knows I love them (I hope).
February 20, 201510 yr also guys..where is the lack of appreciation, the amount of time and effort qassandra puts in and the amount of detail/wit etc BE MORE GRATEFUL you wouldn't get it anywhere else online... That goes without saying hun
February 20, 201510 yr Author I didn't immediately get the 'Shake It Off rip-off' in the same way that I did with Lucia two years ago. Given how bleh Kristin sounded in that clip I wouldn't rule out Isa being a literal Ace Wilder retread (right down to the being written off in THE OTHER PLACE by people who haven't listened to chart music for about 5 years (by and large)). I suppose Ace Wilder was fairly similar to Icona Pop in the whole explosive chorus sense, but I don't think it ever came off anywhere near as craven as a 'TONIGHT MATTHEW' affair as Isa sounds. And I'd guess they probably HAVE listened to chart music in the last five years otherwise they wouldn't have picked up the massive similarity! Especially as she was only written off after they heard it, whereas I don't think anyone gave Ace a chance at any point...
February 20, 201510 yr The last few weeks, waking up on a Thursday has been accompanied by carefully reading all of Tirren's musings in bed before I do anything else. I really do appreciate them. I'm hoping I'll like Jon right now, I get the feeling it'll be something I may possibly really get on board with because it's different.
February 20, 201510 yr Vilket bidrag är din favorit i den tredje deltävlingen? Hittills: 1 018 röster 1. ”Insomnia” – Ellen Benediktson 14% 2. ”För din skull” – Kalle Johansson 5% 3. ”Bring Out the Fire” – Andreas Weise 5% 4. ”Living to Die” – Andreas Johnson 11% 5. ”Don't Stop” – Isa 13% 6. ”I See You” – Kristin Amparo 18% 7. ”Jag är fri (Manne Leam Frijje)” – Jon Henrik Fjällgren 34% Going to be an incredibly close run for 2nd to 5th place tomorrow.
February 20, 201510 yr I always appreciate Tirren's ramblings too :lol: It helps me to understand a bit of context if nothing else, and have a good laugh along the way. I'm hardened for an upset tomorrow - it's going to be like 2013 heat 3 with ISA as Janet Leon and Elin as Amanda Fondell or something like that :drama: The other two semis' results were too predictable and unobjectionable...[/cynic]
February 20, 201510 yr A non-Eurovision fan metal lover friend of mine just shared One By One on Facebook *.*
February 21, 201510 yr Before the 2:30 clips are released, here are last night's gen rep results Hela resultatet i publikundersökningen 1. Jon Henrik Fjällgren 27,5% (93 röster) 2. Kristin Amparo 25,1% (85 röster) 3. Isa 19,8% (67 röster) 4. Andreas Weise 11,8% (40 röster) 5. Ellen Benediktson 6,2% (21 röster) 6. Andreas Johnson 5,3% (18 röster) 7. Kalle Johansson 4,1% (14 röster) Oh what I'd give to see Andreas J flop on his arse in a Globen or Bust situation tonight!!
February 21, 201510 yr Listening to the clips, I would say Jon Henrik's song has a very good chance at being the winner. It stands out and is very grand and if he's as popular in Sweden as people say, I would imagine he'd sweep up the televotes. But like Lex said to me, the juries might put the brakes on that one straight away. Preference: DTG: Ellen, Kristin AC: Jon Henrik, Isa 5th: Andreas W 6th: Kalle 7th: Andreas J Prediction: DTG: Jon Henrik, Kristin AC: Andreas W, Isa 5th: Ellen 6th: Andreas J 7th: Kalle
February 21, 201510 yr Ellen - Pretty good. Doesn't really go with her LOOK but at least it's not as snoozefesty as Songbird~ Kalle - Eh, very MoR. Last place bye Andreas W - Sounds like it could get to AC somehow. Ugh Andreas J - no Isa - Isn't that catchy oops Kristin - Take me to church hunni! *.* Going to be incredible live! Jon - Pretty good and probably my fave so far. Okay, this heat suddenly doesn't seem to be as good as I thought it would be. Oops

I'm HEAD OVER HEELS for Ellen! That SECOND VERSE YAAAAS
February 21, 201510 yr Author Also WTF at Andreas Johnson WORSE than Andreas Weise. Fraggle face isn't exactly my FAVOURITE but let's not throw the brooding electro out with the bathwater when we've got ENEMY TO ALL THAT IS DECENT Andreas Weise here!
February 21, 201510 yr Andreas Johnson could bring the next Euphoria in term of song quality, his VOICE just goes right through me and stops me from enjoying any of his songs. Andreas Weise is just Molly PH 2.0/John Newman 3.0.
February 21, 201510 yr I think the top two in this heat is pretty much locked in and anyone other than Kalle is in with a shot of the Andra Chansen spots. Should be a suitably exciting/tense show tonight. If we want to talk beyond MF then I think it'd be a mistake to send Jon Henrik to Vienna because unless I've got tinitus that sounds like a massive choir on the backing tape and we all know what happened to Malena don't we!
February 21, 201510 yr I don't think Isa doing it will actually BE an Ace Wilder anymore purely because we're actually kinda expecting it, I said it as soon as the names were revealed and SVT have even done an article on the fact she's being compared to Ace, which is providing a bit of hype in itself.
February 21, 201510 yr ALSO, in a semi where I was anticipating quite a few acts, I did NOT expect my favourite to Jon Henrik Fjällgren. I'd be SO on board with that winning by the sounds of it, so epic. Ellen and Isa are wonderful aswell. Kristin, I'm disappointed with, dated and not hugely interesting ballad.
February 21, 201510 yr Something's just stopping me getting fully on board with Jag ar fri, I can't quite figure out what it is (it's probably my own deep seated prejudice, Sami folk is NOT what I want from you MF/Sweden). Edited February 21, 201510 yr by LexC
