Can you guarantee that that was 100% live? If he's so good, how come he was
horrible in every single instant where we know for a fact that he sung 100% live (Melodi grand prix, Eurovision semi-final and final), even for the first few lines of the song where he remained completely stationary and didn't have "I was dancing around so much I couldn't focus on singing" excuse to lean on?
Also, speaking of piss poor pretty boy singers and how Danny's a giant douchebag:
http://www.aftonbladet.se/nojesbladet/melodifestivalen/article14912548.ab
(I've already translated the archived footage, the footage shown at the beginning of the clip, so I'm only going to translate the new footage)
Danny: "Well, it's not possible to get a better result than that of Loreen's because she up and won. But I'm still completely convinced that..."
Interviewer: "Done it well?"
Danny: "No, I'm convinced that I would also have won Eurovision. Same composer, Swedish entry, same producer, a performance that's at least equally as awesome [as hers]. I mean, it was kind of Sweden's time to win. If one checks out the odds from before Melodifestivalen had finished, Sweden was already ranked #1 among the betting companies across Europe. So I think that whatever Swedish entry had been sent would've won. But of course I'm not denigrating Loreen's win in any way, she's so awesome. The song is awesome, she does it extremely well and once again I'm really glad that Sweden won and that it's Sweden that's going to get to host the contest next year."
Just a few points of contention here, Danny-boy:
* Your song was co-written by only one of the authors of "Euphoria". Norway's Tooji's "Stay" was co-written by
both of the co-writers of "Amazing" who wasn't Danny. Norway ended up joint 10th in their semi-final and dead last in the final.
* Both Figge and Peter Boström had written or co-written several Melodifestivalen entries each that failed to even reach the Melodifestivalen final.
* You know why Sweden was tipped to win before Melodifestivalen even concluded? Because it was a foregone conclusion that Loreen would win. Those odds were based on
her winning. Had Danny won, the odds would've changed dramatically.
* Why was it "kind of Sweden's time to win"? We came in 3rd last year and before that had a string of 18th or worse finishes, even failing to qualify for the final in 2010.
* You would not have won, end of story.
This was just him boasting about himself and how a-a-a-a-amazing he is and then backtracking a bit to not sound so pompous, egocentric and stupid by adding "And Sweden was leading the odds and we share the same composers!". I away, Danny. And you wonder why people seek you out to make fun of you. What's mind-boggling is that he said all of these things
after he'd already been bombarded with people gleefully making fun of his previous statements.
I expect his die-hard fans to continue to defend him.
MyHeartIsYours, don't even bother replying to me if you're going to defend him.
By the way, he just couldn't help himself. When asked about whether he took any of the things he said back right after Melodfestivalen, this was his reply:
"No, [I'm standing firmly behind my previous statements]" (a Swedish expression for "What I said before was true. I don't take any of it back")
So there you have it. His apology
was a non-apology. He apologized for actually voicing his temper tantrum, not for what he said. In his mind, he
was (and still is) better than Loreen, the rightful winner, his entry had better chances than Loreen at Eurovision, he's going to win a Grammy and is comparable to Justin Timberlake, etc., etc. Let's see you defend
that!
