Eurovison Song Contest in Malmö 2013 - current news and gossip

[LalehForWD]

Flashmob in Stockholm (8 May?). 150 people singing Euphoria in the middle of a shopping mall in central Stockholm.

That's so cool Lots of old people singing too

Rumours (Aftonbladet) tell Loreen will present a new single on the final night! No details revealed, but she has spoken earlier about a major event at Eurovision and although the Euphoria with children is an amazing performance, it is rather predictable and somewhat underwhelming. I'm hoping for the new light, more happy side of Loreen's music.

 

[LalehForWD]

And it's confirmed! The new single is called We Got the Power from apparently British news leak and is commented all over British musicsites. YESSSS!

Is it Kattis Ahlström talking? Sounds like it... irritating...

Oh and how amateur, they played the English version of Moldova's entry instead of the new one... is it really THAT hard to make things right?

Well, I dunno who she is, but it sounds like Kattis Ahlström... but it's all so unprofessional... I mean I like the idea with this live-sending red-carpet ceremony, but then do it professional... stop talking bull, play the correct versions and atleast know which countries you talk about... is it too much to ask for?

Yes, they could have studied it better, but I've seen worse

 

[LalehForWD]

I'm not sure, but I think they all arrived in the new SAAB model. Anyone?

Whatever car, it looked cool

Sure, but the most annoying was the playing of some older versions, in particular the Moldovan one. I mean by now shouldn't they know which versions that well end up on ESC?

I half expected the Swiss delegation to arrive in the Fiat 600 from their video

They missed a trick there~

Not only such error. Onjevich instead Ognevich also smiling point

 

[FilipFromSweden]

The magic starts tomorrow

 

[esc87fan]

Jury votes are in for semi 1, all that's left is the televote. Good luck to the 19 countries tomorrow

Any chance we might see Grotesco performing at some point?
