Posted February 4, 20187 yr Surprise huns! We're hitting y'all with a twist! This year, Buzzfestivalen will be running one week behind the pace of Melodifestivalen (our rationale being that usually by the start of May when we finally get to the final the energy has run out of Buzzfestivalen so we're aiming to run the contest while the songs are still fresh in people's minds). So, for your consideration this week we have: Sigrid Bernson - Patrick Swayze Former professional dancer on the Swedish equivalent of Strictly Come Dancing (aka the 2nd biggest show in Sweden behind Melodifestivalen) come popstar was awarded a place in Andra Chansen this week, will Buzjack do the same? John Lundvik - My Turn A guy who wrote the song for the most(?) recent Swedish Royal Wedding enters a power ballad that would have been a contender in Melfest 2002 and managed to get 2nd place in a very mediocre heat. Will BuzzJack be so strucken? http://wiwibloggs.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/renaida-600x338.jpg Renaida - All The Feels Swedish Idol NOX specialist turns the backing vocals up to 11 and delivers this stone cold banger. Sweden gave this a second chance but will we be more keen? http://wiwibloggs.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/edward-blom-600x338.jpg Edward Blom - Livet på en pinne No. Kikki Danielson - Osby Tennessee A B-List Schlager diva from days gone by does the only acceptable thing for older Swedish pop singers to do and be all "oh I've ALWAYS loved country music" before an inevitable last place in the heat finish. Will we be kinder on the old hag or not? ZYrgT3tK2t8 Kamferdrops - Solon lever kvar hos dig Presented without comment Benjamin Ingrosso - Dance You Off Everyone's favorite half-Italian half-Swedish hairy arms owner Benjamin Ingrosso is back and aiming for that easy DTF and 4th place in the Final finish, but are we buying what he's selling? Send me your votes via PM to me, LexC, by 23:59 Friday 9th February results will be presented over that weekend. Votes should be in the following format 12 - your favorite 10 08 06 04 02 - your 6th favorite For the copy and pasters amongst you; Sigrid Bernson - Patrick Swayze John Lundvik - My Turn Renaida - All The Feels Edward Blom - Livet på en pinne Kikki Danielsen - Osby Tennessee Kamferdrops - Solen levar kvar hos dig Benjamin Ingrosso - Dance You Off Love Love Peace Peace, and happy voting!
February 10, 20187 yr Author So due to a scheduling clash IRL for me, results for this will now be on Sunday Evening so you’re all being given another 24 hours to send your votes in.
February 11, 20187 yr Author 7th Place: Edward Blom - Livet på en pinne (22 points) V_9TO0YU9eo Thank god for that few seconds of "oh crap" looks from side to side or this might have actually made it through to Andra Chansen. Not even Iz's 12 could pull this through.
February 11, 20187 yr Author 6th Place: Kikki Danielsen - Osby Tennessee (32 points) HOl3hmpBwfw A dignified exit from Melfest by Kikki here, but lets see if we can go one year without driving an ageing schlager boiler to Country Music in 2019 (if even Anna Book resorts to this then all hope TRULY IS LOST)
February 11, 20187 yr Correct bottom 2 (and Iz you may be the admin but I will still find a way to delete you)
February 11, 20187 yr Author DTF: Renaida - All The Feels lhwIxyWqJRE Let's face it, nobody ever wore orange to perform something regal and dignified. Renaida goes direkt til...shall we say...Stoke-on-Trent for the Buzzfestivalen Final!
February 11, 20187 yr Author AC: Kamferdrops - Solen lever kvar hos dig ZYrgT3tK2t8 Theory: Kamferdrops is Dilba disguised as a Norwegian anime fan moonlighting as a pop star
February 11, 20187 yr Author So next we will reveal the fate of Benjamin Ingrosso, is he going Direkt til Stoke, to Andra Chansen in...err...Nuneaton or is he going home in 5th place disgrace? Obviously I can't post the video on here so here's the next best thing...a thirst trap photo!
February 11, 20187 yr Author DTF: Benjamin Ingrosso - Dance You Off zMbkx5IWiNM Buzzjack and Sweden's tastes align as everyone's favourite half-Italian descendant of a mad Schlager boiler goes straight through to the final!
February 11, 20187 yr Author So, we're left with an AC or BUST duel between Sigrid and John. The song we thought would be a pleasing 80s influenced bop but we ended up thinking was a bit half-baked versus the song we all expected to be a write off from the coffin slot but turned out to be decent enough for Sweden to give him a direct ticket to Friends Arena.
February 11, 20187 yr Not overly fussed who gets it out of Sigrid and John tbh, it was the correct top 3 (I mean, I can't imagine either beat Kamferdrops on Buzzjack)
