February 18, 20178 yr So FO&O the first song performing 7th in the running order not to go direct, would never have guessed that! I think Owe won this heat tbh.
February 18, 20178 yr We could have had that if they had gone to AC though :( I don't need reminding that there were better scenarios on offer. FUCKING ANTON HAGMAN.
February 18, 20178 yr That was at least dulled by the knowledge it was inevitable. This hurts more because it felt so within grasp. Scraping FOURTH didn't seem THAT impossible (until she f***ed up the lines)
February 18, 20178 yr Trying to take myself out of my grief for a moment (I shall be wearing a Joanne hat in black for the remainder of the year in mourning), OMG what a DELIGHTFUL SHOCK TO THE SYSTEM Owe bringing down FO&O is!
February 18, 20178 yr I don't need reminding that there were better scenarios on offer. FUCKING ANTON HAGMAN. Yes, that bottom bit does sound like a great scenario I'd like to participate in. Hope that the final heat ends up being a bit s*** because AC is looking crowded. I need all of Lisa, FO&O, Anton and De Vet Du to make it out. :(
February 18, 20178 yr First Dates UK is shown in Sweden? :o Looks like it. Looks like they are also looking for people First Dates Sweden.
February 18, 20178 yr Owe is a complete guilty pleasure I've gotta admit (and the skandal of FO&O having to go to AC is an added bonus) but it's the classic MF conundrum of the Swedes going for something that's very "them" in the heats but then turning towards the more internationalised songs in the final so the question of whether or not he won the heat is a bit of a moot point, especially in the app voting era. I was seriously impressed with I Can't Go On all the way to the little Fleur East moment at the start. I'm team Ace all the way but I would still be very happy with that winning, and it fits the tradition of Sweden always having an act with a huge cumbersome prop that inevitably goes wrong at some point (Eric's glass box, Loreen's platform & snow, Sanna's light pyramid, Mans's projections and even Frans had that extra lighting rig in the background).
February 18, 20178 yr Author I guess I'm not shocked with Owe going DTF, but if he was going to take a spot I'd expect The Foo (or whatever the hell they're called now) to take the other spot. Disappointed with the result, more so that Jasmine didn't do better and we're stuck with seeing Anton perform again. TBH for me - Ace Wilder still stands out for me. Just don't watch her 'Mic Only' performance.
February 18, 20178 yr Author Crucified is up on Spotify and it's so perfect. :( I hate living in Canada. No Lisa or anyone yet. In fact the only songs I think I've been able to find are Boris (yawn) and Dinah Nah.

February 18, 20178 yr Author https://vk.com/wall-1486527_260479 <3. It just sucks because I lost all my personal music on my iPhone so I've basically switched over to Spotify, but I do have specific songs on my laptop. It' just tough because I play everything to my Stereo System and need to go between two applications. CAN YOU BELIEVE BLAME IT ON THE DISCO ISN'T EVEN ON SPOTIFY IN CANADA?! #firstworldproblems
February 18, 20178 yr That isn't a FIRST WORLD PROBLEM - access for all to Blame It On The Disco is ENSHRINED within the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS!
February 18, 20178 yr Only 7 songs left to hear, I'M NOT READY FOR IT TO END :( Thinking it's Ace v. Loreen v. Mariette for the win.
February 18, 20178 yr Author Thinking it's Ace v. Loreen v. Mariette for the win. Unless Loreen comes out with something amazing, Sweden has no chance this year.
February 18, 20178 yr Unless Loreen comes out with something amazing, Sweden has no chance this year. I believe this statement to be completely wrong. At this rate Ace, Robin and Mariette would all be contenders in Kyiv!
February 18, 20178 yr Unless Loreen comes out with something amazing, Sweden has no chance this year. I believe this statement to be completely wrong. At this rate Ace, Robin and Mariette would all be contenders in Kyiv! Yeah, when BELARUS has the best entry so far it's not shaping up to be a vintage year so Sweden will immediately go straight to the top end of the odds whoever they pick really.
February 19, 20178 yr I'm thrilled that I've finally worked out what the opening of Robin's song reminded me of! Turns out it is Fifth Harmony's 'Top Down'. Not identical but both use the same sort of pulsating beats to open their songs, I was going crazy trying to think what it was!
February 19, 20178 yr I'm not a huge fan of I Can't Go On, if Constellation Prize couldn't win surely this won't even come close? I know it's arguably a weaker field this year but still, I see about 5th for it) I think Ace vs. Loreen vs. Mariette sounds about right, although one of those will probably end up "flopping" and be like 6th in favour of a surprise contender (maybe Owe lmao, or something from AC that catches on like You did, although 2013 a really really weak year in hindsight, this isn't THAT bad) vaulting to the top 3. I think Mariette would be better than Ace in Kyiv success wise, but we'll wait and see if Loreen brings it.
February 19, 20178 yr saw the boyband failing to make it first past the post, in all honesty looking at the hot men was likely my highlight. sweden loves an olive-skinned twink!
