Bengtzing Linda has made a comeback in Melodifestivalen this Saturday. But how can we be sure it was her? Let the video frame by frame.
Footsteps in the night ...
HELLO! Linda took over self-control and you feel it tries to scare people less than usual (Or the less stress). In fact, Linda has moved from a holding citrus orange pirate on his first appearance here pineapple sweet heart, a sign of evolution. It's too late, Mortal Kombat intro is already stressful.
No, Shalala Shalala does not manipulate the images, it happened like that on TV. Linda snaps his fingers and presto, the camera falls over!
AND THE CAMERA Tournicoti TOURNICOOOOTE GUEUDIIIIIN TIP!
The iconic moment of shlagueuse: I go on a cube and I communicate with the forces of Christ fan!
And presto, the camera re-falls over backwards!
They were expected for one month: the first showers of pyrotechnic fire!
unleashing CHOREOGRAPHY MORON!
And hey, there is still a little firecracker to the end!
No doubt it is true Linda Bengtzing, as it was known. To see all this in motion:
The song is called E det fel på mej , which means But what is wrong with me? , launched as a matter of public Sweden who loves him but that did not previously sent to the Eurovision! Pure Linda tractor, if perhaps lacking a bit of originality to the first discovery, only take scope over the Listen Again. Linda has won his semifinal and was therefore qualified for her fourth final in 4 lines! Bravo Linda! A performance that brings a whole nation, the same dances in public dwarves waving his bouncy still show in the end when we learn that she won (true).
And who will accompany Linda in the final? This will Nicke Borg sings a ballad rock perfectly forgettable.
Shalala Shalala actually thought the ballad MegaPower Linda Pritchard Alive, a antisobriété to induce vomiting Chiara his four hours in oil and butter and suddenly very entertaining, but Linda (because Sweden is a country of Linda ) will be satisfied with the repechage to be held this coming Saturday:
But one of best shows and one of the best songs of all Melodifestivalen highest level was in fact out compet: it was the presentation this Saturday, the latest single from The Ark, Swedish candidate in 2007, which separated after a farewell tour that begins in Sweden. It's called Breaking Up With God and it could easily have won the contest!
Good Montenegro, for now it's only three appearances coupled with Serbia, and yet only three appearances alone. Difficult blow to furnish a top five, or even a top three. No, no, no, not at all the poor quality of their songs is at stake! Absolutely not! Do not try to make us speak ill of the key countries of Eurovision, and its quality tubes! ... Oh what I expect in my headset? Montenegro withdrew from the contest since last year and has no plans to go back now? Bon ben ... We will try not hold on and stay strong. Snif ...
1. Andrea - Just get out of my life (2009)
The swansong of the country. Before draping his pseudo-dignity and stop costs after several non-songs, Montenegro will have at least sent a real good candidate Andrea. We do not know much about Andrea, and anyway there is not the issue, since, more than the performer, the composer is the real star of this song. Just get out my life is indeed born from the pen of Ralph Siegel, the king of Eurovision, author of madness tubes in series through the decades (Dschinghis Khan The Dad, Lou, Mekado ...). Wonders, indeed! Besides this song is a little model of subtle melody, while arpeggios convoluted, with a joyful chorus written jackhammer. And yet, yet, yet, despite all the money spent to pay for these luxury pens (about 75% of GDP, according to our estimates), Andrea bidet. Perhaps because she had the misfortune to enter its first semifinal, and she seemed very lonely on what was the biggest stage ever built by the competition. Since then, over Andrea's new, more news of Montenegro, but also more news from our favorite composer, and there is worse!
Well, not really breaking news, but they forgot to tell you about . Iceland, we love from the heart. Iceland, which contributes only since 1986, is a country that has all the qualities. It is a modern country is a country that almost never try you refourguer shit, and many of its candidates deserved the top 10. Iceland is the country that has never won and who deserves it most.
But it will not this year. Iceland was a little weak, perhaps, choosing a candidate for one reason, perhaps, extra contest. It explains: the candidate who was singing this song has killed in an accident just before the screening. Her friends sing in his place. And it is them who won. Sigurjón's Friends sing so Aftur heim , Which is not horrible, maybe that will work on the length? It is not clear.
Our favorites, the impossibly imaginable Matthías Matthíasson & Erla Björg Káradóttir with Eldgos , lost, and that's a shame!
Again, stays until the end!
Beaten again, the overwhelming favorite, who sang Yohanna Nott, who had previously represented Iceland in 2009 with a ballad of dolphins that had been second. It will be for next time!
Yes, tomorrow is the last semifinal of Melodifestivalen, the one where Linda Bengtzing aka schlagueuse most active not to have represented Sweden Contest! It is time! Linda was very quiet so far, and little has filtered about his song entitled E Det Fel Pa Mej , except that it would be a "mixup of All Her And Then a previous hint of Hall om mig . "OH FUCK!
Linda, with a touch of charming Swedish accent, answered questions Esctoday below.
We saw that the Swedish competition in recent weeks, was bloody, and indeed all favorites Shalala Shalala lost (or at best qualified for the repechage). But Linda was prepared as a pro!
Linda, as Tom Sawyer and Catherine Deneuve, fearless!
Ok, she just afraid of Charlotte Perrelli, but like everyone else right?
Linda Shalala Shalala sends his best waves. A good orange juice, and it will eject!
Magdalena Tul And who is gonna this year! Magdalena Tul Jestem sing!
Magdalena will not have much difficulty doing better than its predecessors because in 15 entries, Poland has reached the top 10 that ... 2 times. It sucks. Magdalena has a sort of dance that is struggling to fly to the refrain but that's not a ballad, it's already better than nothing. However, Shalala Shalala, the favorites went to two other candidates.
First, the moult to about Gogola named Anna!
Anna was revealed in Poland by issuing "Poland has talent" (yes) and now flies his own. Beyond the joy provided by the song, enjoy first the subtle beauty of this intro. After such a start, it can not be really bad, and his chicken dance in Warsaw we went straight to the heart.
But Anna was not alone in this final surprisingly found for this country so weak! There were also SheMoans:
Admit that you die already want to watch video. The SheMoans intone a rock girl power entitled Supergirl, with a chorus under the influence Poker Face level but look, it's more the surprise party at the chic snorkes the Gaga.
Yes, when it comes to fashion and rock, somewhere on Earth, the singer still has an influence Paradiso. Good luck Poland!
Shalala Shalala promises you happiness and ocean geysers sugar with Linda Sundblad
This Saturday held the 3rd semifinal of Melodifestivalen. And announce it right away, if Linda Sundblad has not qualified with his song Lucky You it was for us the best of the best of this third part of the big cake of screening Swedish!
Lucky You is a flood of sugar and pop hearts, a girly-yay perhaps more Estonian than Swedish in spirit but also engages with the songs of Swedish mega ecstatic joy that the country sent in the 80 . All this with a presentation with onions, highlighted how the intro clip Gondry (label too good No. 1), the choreography of amazons guitars held as Kalashnikovs (label too good No. 2), the arrival the beat Swedish (label too good No. 3) until the arrival of the chorus of delight.
short, is everything we love. And that's all you love as well since you're here!
icing on the cake: Linda wears a brace. A way of saying fuck the dictates of the Ottoman-pop, yes, I too can be great with my camera. And you're right Linda! Moreover, the piece would have fallen a thousand times in pouferie then no, this is good-natured atmosphere prevails. Good tunes do not need fireworks!
So who are you Linda? Linda is full of things. Linda is a radio. Linda is the muse Oreal. Linda sings, and indeed with Oh Father, his first hit when she spoke masturbation ( Oh father I've been touching myself and I'm worried / Heaven Is Still Open for me? ), she was appointed Grammy! Linda has co-written with ABBA's song in mind, describing it in these terms: " This song is a miracle for me - I got goosebumps when i wrote it, With The melodies and everything. I get very emotional anyway, drank With this I got the feeling That it's just so so right, from the Heart. So That Makes I am a winner! Whatever it ends up in position "- and you're right Linda! Linda, 29 years (age of baby for a schlagueuse) participated for the first time in the contest, and will have plenty of time to come back!
What other candidates appeared Saturday? have qualified for the finals:
Eric Saade with Popular . Listed as one of the favorites this year if not THE favorite, he did not bankrupt. As in previous weeks, SVT crashes videos of candidates still in the race so we will replay charades, this time it will be super easy. So Popular begins like this:
Ie with the same percussion Boney M. But the same, really, not just "it looks" exactly the same. Then there is a verse schlager who already weighs 10 tons and is saddened by the words worthy of a sub-countries that do not understand English: Stop, Do not Say That It's impossible / 'Cause I know it's possible . A tribute to Tina Arena? Then comes the chorus:
That's EXACTLY the same as the tube Lili & Susie, Oh Mama . Same. So in the end it is very effective because the references are excellent references, that everything is overproduced and that the show is here (Eric, mid-song, is enclosed in a glass prison that exploded), but the Melodifestivalen must really miss such a theft?
The other qualified candidate is ...
The Playtone singing The King. Each year in the finals of the MF, you have a candidate the public a little older, here, rockabilly running quickly pop-schlagerisée. Likeable. The boys set fire to the piano and stage (I mean, literally).
Behind imagined that these two untouchables, Shirley's Angels (with schlager mouuuuuuuu faaaaaaade and around Shirley Clamp back) and Sara Varga (with a ballad where she disguises herself as Angelina Jolie) have qualified for the draft, we said no more because they do not really deserve. Too bad for Linda who deserved it more!
Finally, the evening was also an opportunity to review Lena Philipsson! Who has taken his hit 80's Dansa I Neon version rock, we can not say we totally won, but still: at 2'26, Lena that makes diving course!
Azerbaijan has made its appearance in the competition in 2008 and the result is convincing: 3 top 10 with 2 top 5. Whiners who have this argument at the mouth of friends talk of voting for the great family of the east (roughly in a bag), but we must admit that each time the country has the package to win the contest! Yes, prepare yourself mentally: a the coming years, we will end up going well in Baku, the capital on behalf of children's magazine!
3. Elnur & Samir - Day After Day (2008)
Well, to make a top 3, it was necessary to include the first application of Azerbaijan, which also falls into the category of the worst candidates History. Paradox. Who could vote for this thing with angels and demons out of a fantasy Kamel Ouali (looks like they are decadence decadent and flip glasses wine on breasts oulala sexiness Culture Beat), with its bellowing inaudible (careful, it starts at 2'16 and it's long), with its cul apparent, with its hellish bad taste that borders on mental disability? Ben, however, it was the eighth this shit. Shalala Shalala has still decided to include it for its resolutely other, and we feel we have a country that does not want to be just sitting there. Even if it involves sending creatures Bloody Mallory bellowing death in carnival costumes and lose all self esteem. No news of Elnur & Samir otherwise, people who have been locked in a prison for Constr.
2. Aysel & Arash - Always (2009)
After Day After Day , Always! Yes, Azerbaijan expects to be here to stay. Aysel & Arash is a little application "but why break your ass?". Yes, some countries are scratching their heads for months to know what to send. The Azerbaijani team arrives, asks his three-minute hit of the summer Orangina and bam, that's third. Yet we all recipes stale, the eternal duet with a tuna and a hottie to use a guitarette folk at a time, to make you believe in an illusion of authenticity. In the register of shake shake sunny, Aysel & Arash have convinced many people in Europe as it did ... 3e. And despite the problems of the singer who, at 2'24, is taking a pétomane uncontrollable, to make her skirt fluttering. A kind of metaphor of songs submitted by the country somewhere.
1. Safura - Drip Drop (2010)
A controversy arose last year with Safura which practically ruined the country to blow promotion giant, magical dress (which turns ) and staff of luxury. All this for Safura, who went to school # 23 in Baku and adore Stephenie Meyer comes first in the final and mortgage immediately much of his chances. Azerbaijan had yet paid for the occasion, services Jaquet Knight, choreographer of Beyoncé and Britney, and has good fucking their mouths because Safura, apart from the pretty back on steps that s 'lit, choreographed two things: a kind of movement r'n'b arm rotted on the chorus (kind imitate Beyonce in front of my TV for the first time) and especially a race in ridiculous heels on the end of the song. Yet that has breath, and the potential product is pretty fairly modern. Plop plop plic Plic , as stated in the chorus. It was 5th.
And Glen Vella who will represent the country for voluptuous women and a thousand butterflies love! Because Malta is a country that has a true identity at Eurovision (failing to have one elsewhere), although it will be challenged by Glen. No woman in the sun, Generous no hips, no pop sweet, no no no, Glen and his first name wolf Malins Little Lady Gaga is the cheek. Finally, Lady Gaga if it was born in Valletta, which would have changed many things! Glen, until then, was the voice for jingles on TV Maltese and mini coach candidates appalling Junior Eurovision (one of the worst things that exist on earth live in a gulag of North Korea, make love Jean-Marc Morandini or eat the dead). Glen sings One Life , dance with masks red Tron and a beat plate. It does not really work at first listen but believe in the experience Shalala, revamped and re-stage it can be very funny D-Day Malta, in fact, is among the countries that we have almost never disappointed.
Well, frankly, we would have preferred 100% Maltese pop Amber, whose face was particularly highlighted by a subtle makeup and good taste:
BREAKING NEWS: Finland has made its choice! BREAKING
And in Paradise Oskar that is facing the difficult task of representing one of the best countries Contest! Paradise Oskar mignonetterie sings a guitar, which tells the story of a boy who watches the apple fall and wants to save the planet, da da dam (the title of the song). Paradise Oskar looks like a small panda virgin and his song is concentrated in milk. Nothing memorable but we can not really be mean. Do the test:
Hey, if you want more keywords magic for all those who will type the words corresponding to the logical candidate Belgian 2011 arrived on this page: Belgian's bid for Eurovision 2011 is pathetic, appalling nase, like a kebab which sickens and shames anyone who has tried one day to compose a song. The "winner" of the simulacrum of Belgian final (because, for having listened to some other candidates, we can tell you that it would increase the presets for the Melodifestivalen French) is Witloof Bay who sings, finally, "pronounced" With Love Baby .
A bit like your office colleagues played at Pow-Wow, what a limit is already pushed back into the mediocrity, but the worst is that now you n 't even have a melody. Looks like a poor show at the street festival of music. We know that things are going badly in Belgium, but how a country can send a worthy candidate as an amateur? Which country will be pretty dumb to give a point to this crap? It's terrible. So why so much evil in the kingdom that Shalala is usually only love? Well, because it is believed that when we pretend to go on stage, pretend to ask 3mn attention, he should at least afford to be half decent. But there you hiding anything.
Remember Black Book, Verhoeven's film with this wonderful scene where Carice van Houten gets a shower of shit in the face? Surely the only stage that we imagine to really highlight this benefit on the German stage at Eurovision in May. Well, anyway, you already know that you can provide for a cigarette break in the evening ... eh
And this is probably the first real potential winner who enters the contest! Stella Mwangi, which we will talk a little bit earlier about his performance in the semi-finals, has become the logical since it is currently No. 1 in sales in Norway. Which confirms its position as official country the unexpected: in 10 years, Norway has had a piano ballad and hard rock FM 80's, songs of elves and soul, opera and Irish ballad, and So here is the passage Marsupilami world. Haba Haba is just the missing link between the Waka Waka Shakira and Pata Pata by Miriam Makeba (closer to the latter, moreover, for our happiness). And whether you like it or not, you will end up giving him points in May. Haba haba hujaza Kibabi!
Babsan offers you a sangria / tagada - and it can not refuse!
This weekend took place in Sweden the second semifinal of Melodifestivalen. The No. 1 attraction for Shalala Shalala, was obviously providing Babsan, the Mona Lisa Tagada cold. Babsan sang Ge mig in spanjor ( Give me a Spaniard! ) and it was great.
We wanted the camp exponential: we have had. We wanted the pink sparkles: it was too. They wanted ARRIBA ARRIBA : we got them! We even had a modulation! What you ask for! Babsan proved that if the drag queen first degree fatal night of Zeu way Mireille Dumas DQ (sent by Denmark some time ago) was probably the thing most ringardissime of the universe, drag-transvestite Flamboyant and funny-camp has yet beautiful years of lacquer before it. Babsan, who has the best legs of all the competition and a first sign of the competition with this use in the song, video (the story is running!), however, attacked an Everest: Applications-gags, Sweden, is not it . After Dark had already made two times for two failures ( while this benefit was worth a final ). But whatever, Babsan won the heart of what Shalala Shalala is essential!
(And most importantly, is to see it live on the web and discover in the public Swedish girls dressed as cowgirls pink placard waving to the candidate transvestite of the evening ... great.)
In the final Swedish, we will not see either Christian Walz:
... To our great surprise because after three minutes, Shalala Shalala was just told that this kind of suicide by Coldplay on a duck looké werewolf Pearl Necklace (Suntribe to dive?) not only had everything to win the Melodifestivalen but also a true face of the Eurovision winner. Well no! Competition is ruthless.
Among eliminated, there was also a mini schlagueuse grass that does not sing very well (and is downright breathless here or there) but that is simply electrocuted after modulation
A metaphor of light, somewhere. Good Anniel sorry, your song is ok but we do not sing like that on stage in Sweden.
So who has now qualified for the finals? Ben SVT, the Swedish TV station, banned videos of winners and recovered on the net at once, or you are looking for and you have the pot or we tell you. Kidd your imagination! Qualified for the finals:
Sanna Nielsen sings I'm in Love. Schlager's old school very effectively and very classic written by experts, more in the style schlager fabuloso dandinages way to Lena Philipsson (and worse, anyway) that energy kind of demon or Bengtzing Linda Carola. Sanna is lookée somewhere between Brigitte Nielsen and Lorie (not really like the picture), flit on a plate with cage bars of light, then is joined by her dancers flying in the sky as the finest hour Cirque du Soleil. There's hints of synth-stitched Flashdance, and obviously a modulation of the fire god. A big favorite for victory then, but: Sanna seems a little cutesy (and schlager queen is NOT cheesy) and the staging is finally chouille soft. To see!
The other is called ...
Brolle! Well, it's still a shot of the Pissy rotting votes, Brolle us especially is reminiscent of Belgian candidate 2 years ago who was dressed as Elvis to rockabilly. There is therefore produces more fat more efficient but a little cheesy anyway. Finally it would be a tuna is clear that it was removed (in addition to any hairstyle con).
are qualified for the repechage (and thus in competition with Jenny Silver!):
The Moniker singing Oh My God (yes, him too), pop of color to Mika's.
Loreen singing My Heart is Refusing Me , dance rather modern stands without, however, really really really take off.
(In our opinion, Jenny Silver has not, yet, caring)
much for this new semi-final confirming that even the losers Swedish apply for now better than almost all countries qualified so far!
It may be hard to believe today, at a time when Turkey reigns supreme on the wonderful world of fast girls who wiggle in a bikini in the first places on the podium but the country has long been the ugly duckling of the competition, regularly sharing all last places in the side of Finland. And especially Turkey has long been very wise and chaste, drawing up and the overdosing with cheerful candor in his local folklore of a sudden irresistible tubes naive. Since then, the country has made its crisette of teenager, said mom and dad to poop in their musical heritage, and made her rebel hit spot fake rock and dance ethnic easy (but mostly shot rump in your face). Back on the rebellious teenager of the country.
10. Taner & Grup Seyyal Lokomotif - Sarkim sevgi Üstün (1987)
We start with a very strong candidate memorable: the mega-perky Seyyal Taner. Memorable first for the visual exuberance that she and her group show on stage! Look at me like that it wriggles! It is unclear if this is done on purpose but you'd see the folly in turkeys in a poultry house on fire. And most memorable, it must be said, because despite all the energy expended on stage, the group failed to raise any point miserable (which is rare), and therefore logically finished an ignominious last place. But you love chickens! Cluck cluck cluck.
9. Klips ve onlar - Halley (1986)
year just before, Turkey had yet taken a big leap towards the future with an ode synthesizers to Halley's Comet! Finally: a strange incantation recalls the disturbing generic Worlds swallowed. The song begins with these words: "Dear world, now is the time to laugh! "... Do they spoke of the singer's clothes right? In any case, as the comet, Turkey propelled to a 9th place completely unexpected at the time. It also remained their best score for another eleven years.
8. Neco - Hani ? (1982)
Turkey in Eurovision in the 80s is a bit every time the Golden Age of Bollywood summarized in 3 minutes, and Hani is a very good example. Ultra rhythmic melody and dialogue driven cross-shaped love between a male hero and shrill female vocals. Folklore that despite its pretty hard to forget chorus, has unfortunately not attracted many people at the time: like many other Turkish candidates, Neco has finished in the cabbage. 15th place out of 18.
7. Sertab Erener - Everyway That I Can (2003)
Suddenly, Turkey found the magic formula to win: sex. Sertab Erener is certainly very chaste compared with many bare pouffettes coming jiggle each year. But in 2003, they had not yet arrived by legion, and especially Turkey was going very, very far. Huge leap towards modernity that shake shake gli-gli, sung with charisma by a snake woman alone and fearful, which upset all of its toilet paper dress, hits its chorus and growls a musical bridge of madness based Luxury words such as "You Make Me Want Han Han Han Han make me want to Han. Perhaps the most brilliantly female rap unlikely since Madonna's American Life. It was with a cover of another song by Madonna (Music Tekno Turkish version) that Sertab continued his career as a star in Turkey. It prefers its own directory. First place.
6. Cetin Alp & The Short Waves - Opera (1983)
Before the Turkish victory (well before, even), there were the shallows. In 1983, Turkey even more obviously knows where she lives, and is reduced to send this song (?) Opera. We do not really know where to begin to explain how this performance is brilliantly nanardesque! The very first notes that resemble moans of ghosts? The choir, which brings them closer look unlikely at best zombies of Thriller, the worst of the masked ball ho ho Company Creole? Or just that moment when the song ends and another begins in the middle, a sort of generic Benny Hill unlikely. But good at the same time everything is unlikely in this song. 19th place out of 20.
5. Hadise - Düm tek tek (2009)
The epitome of class and distinction, both sober and tasteful at all: in the melodious voice of the charming if Hadise in the elegance of its holding in the intellectual subtlety of words, or the ease with which folk music has been embroiled in a skillful light touch electronically. It is unclear whether the "dum tek tek" in question are supposed to symbolize the beating of her heart of pure young girl (probably thinking of God), or something more concrete physical, but we Hadise was placed on the track at the national preselection, where she gave great shots pussy facing the camera in time with the chorus. His parents are probably very proud of her. 4th place.
4. Izel Celiköz, Reyhan Karaca & Can Ugurlu - Iki Dakik (1991)
Warning masterpiece from elsewhere. In 1991 Turkey had apparently not yet jumped on the train of modernity and still believes in an episode of Saved by the Bell . The country sends that year three clown that we sing with pep's candor and a sort of generic advertising Maaf with their fake rockabilly costumes. Well, we love it, but we do not know what to say in their defense, though. 12th place quite inexplicable to the competition that year.
3. Pan - Bana bana (1989)
The Return of Bollywood. Perhaps the most stressful part of performance history of the competition, where the song is already not obvious at the base, is found further accelerated by a mad conductor, visibly possessed or on crack. And from there everything gets carried away. This song about domestic violence could have benefited from a clever mime education on stage, but two beautiful girls swoon in all directions, the two cushy, they do not move an eyelash, and keep their hands on their hips extremely manly ways, it must be said. To see it to believe it. 21st place out of 22.
2. Ajda Pekkan - Petr'oil (1980)
Ajda Pekkan party candidates would have sold the most records in the world among the candidates of Eurovision. Finally it's there that she says, not bowl, can not get their hands on figures that would confirm that (as Lara Fabian, the dirty liar)! Ajda's career spans nearly five decades, and his official website would have us believe that in the meantime she has not aged at all and it would look like this.
was already a star in his country at the time of his participation, but its not terrible score that night (15th place on 19th) pushed to do a long pause in his career (Well, in truth we do not know if there is any report, but it amuses us to imagine). There is a hilarious French version (it has no link to give you, sorry!) This song called King oil. The lyrics riddled with silly puns (the like "it refines crude as a raw") would have surely earned the victory. Sacred Ajda goes.
1. Sebnem Paker & Grup Etnic - Dinler (1997)
And one fine day in the late 90s, the miracle occurred. Halfway between the old school folk femininity and subtle, Sebnem Paker successfully managed to find the right balance and we offer the best Turkish song contest. Bravo. Thanks to you Turkey was finally able to find its place on the map of the Eurovision and now all the results the country have been good, finished the last places. Thank you who? Thank you thank you love life. 3rd place out of 25.
