Oh to me the anti-vote was so painfully obvious I got that feeling "gaaah, what the hell am I doing here among these f*ckn' people". It was an ugly face of resentment and rejection I hope I never see again in Melodifestivalen. The rule of belittling mediocrity and the fancy of the familiar over...

Well, I don't know, we have had only glimpses of info coming out of the process of song selection. I think there is a huge influence from the big record companies - say Warner Sweden, probably a couple of more or less free guaranteed spots to each of them. A tradition I think goes way back to...

A-lister, you've been stating there's "cronyism and corruption" or something alike in Melodifestivalen for 8 years now. Is it an opinion you have? Or a hunch you have? Or do you have some solid evidence corruption is actually the case? To me it kind of fall flat as critique. Over the years there...

Actually no, :o:)xrose I wouldn't want Laleh to enter the Melodifestivalen drama. She's busy making her a place as a producer/songwriter in Los Angeles, extremely goal-oriented and serious. I wish her all well and success and none of the awkwardness she would feel participating in...

Cantique de Noël or apparently more common Minuit, Chrétiens, to Scandinavians known as O helga natt or Adams julsång. Music written by Adolphe Adam 1847 with a text by Placide Cappeau. A French Christian Christmas song which is the absolute necessary finale on every Swedish Christmas concert...

Why on earth is the title "?????? Think Tank"? Think Tank? Seriously, are the admins by this in some way questioning the outcome and winner of Eurovision? As far as I remember the new winner and new host country used to very quickly be reflected on the site. Please don't say we are to expect a...

Found this report whilst searching for something else. I think it's a relevant and interesting reading for the forum (if someone feels up to it :D), as a background to Eurovision perception in the area and opinions in EU. Western Balkans and Turkey Media and Freedom of Expression Fact-finding...

Is it time to remove the ESC XXXX - Song, Artist, NF Discussions-subforum and the country ESC threads? During the little bit over a year since I join the forum, the number of active posters in this section can be counted on one hand, sometimes up to ten perhaps. None of which have any mutual...
