Don't be mean to Helena!! She is from Gothenburg if anything.

Who's mean? But the comment that Sweden owes her anything because she "did so much for us" is ridiculous :lol:

She's an artist who barely had a career in Sweden, it's not as if she is an important historical person or something that actually "did" something for us.

Re: Possible Hosts for 2013

Helena's and Antique's songs were huge hits in Sweden. I don't know anything about her Greek songs though. Not to hurt any Greek feelings but I believe Antique was more or less entirely Swedish (record company, studios etc). On the other hand, after ESC 2005 I think everything she did was produced in Greece. She've tried comeback in Sweden and put some effort in to it, but I think she'll need a modern album produced in Sweden to be successful. I hope her Let's Dance 2012 failure doesn't mean she'll give up on Sweden.

Antique were pretty "big" at that time yes, but let's not exaggerate though. People think of them as a sort of Eurodance novelty act with their trade-mark adding Greek elements to their songs.

It's not as if they were in a league of ABBA, Roxette or any other big Swedish music name.

Helena herself is a product of Sweden, she's born here and if it weren't for Sweden she might have not have a music career even in Greece today. People tend to forget that.

Re: Possible Hosts for 2013

I don't think Helena will be hostess and I wish her the very best whatever she'll do. Meanwhile here's another great suggestion:

Alexandra Rapaport - actress

Alexandra Rapaport as hostess? Have she hosted anything in the past? I tend to mix her up with Noomi Rapace, what is Alexandra up to these days anyways? Haven't noticed her for years.

I must say I don't watch much television, I'm a bit out of touched with it all. However I remember I wanted to catch "Kronjuvelerna" but never got myself to do it.

But still though, what's her hosting skills?

Hosting is not the same as movie acting?

Josefine Sundström appointed online hostess on Melodifestivalen Eftersnack web program.

She's be equally boring as Kattis Ahlstöm back in 2000.

SVT is really lacking profiles imo.

^ Your concept of boring is quite odd I must say.

She's utterly boring with zero charisma that is? I'd rather pick my neighbor as a host then.

Re: Possible Hosts for 2013

Well,it would be nice to see her in Eurovision stage,as a hostess this time.
She is partly Swedish,and people from Europe will recognize her easier than a local Swedish star.

Re: Possible Hosts for 2013

^ "partly Swedish"?
From wiki: Katarina "Kattis" Ahlström (46) was born in Lund (Sweden), classical musician, studied cello and piano at University, got an arm injury and had to change career into journalism. She is currently working with NGO human right organisations.

Lund is in Sweden you know even if it's Scanian. :D
