SWEDEN 2012 - Loreen - Euphoria
- Thread starter escYOUnited
- Start date
- Watchers 100
To you who critiqize her performance yesterday: this is NOT how she will perform in Baku. She only try new ways to perform Euphoria. BTW I think her vocals is great. So much better than most of the artists in this years ESC. She did this without no backing vocals or pre-recorded vocals...In Baku she will get help from 3 backing singers.

are you referring to JOGA or EUPHORIA?
'cause the arrangement for Euphoria is exactly the same as the original version - just without the backing vocal.

The links at TV4 again:
Loreen singing Jóga on Humorgalan 2012
Loreen singing Euphoria on Humorgalan 2012
Sanna Nielsen on Humorgalan 2012
She seems to improve with feedback from the audience and the voice is getting even stronger. This time she tried to build a crescendo at the end. It is also ensuring that she is so relaxed and self-confident.

Just listen without video and you hear how she tries to sqeeze the last drop out of it in the end.

She really f*****g knows how to belt out those notes in the chorus. And I just love her vibrato in the verses

i'm not sure why fans don't want to accept that vocals in this video are not spot on. she is flat on some notes, sharp on few more. it's a hard song vocally, but still. she needs to perfect it. she still has time.
a song that relies that much on melody and power has to be sung perfectly.
yes, some acts, for example, Grannies have weaker vocals, but their act is different. it relies on something else.
its' like iv Vassili (last year?) came out and sang out of tune (and he actually had maybe 2-3 flat notes in his performance. but they ruined it.. for me at least)
is it fair that some can sing out of tune and get more praise? no... but life isn't fair.

Look at the ecstatic expression on the faces of those two people at 1:30!
Frankly I can't relate to it, but if she can inspire such an awe in people she is surely going to win.
Also look at the happiness among the people at 2:51. The public really feel her performance.
That was what I feel too when I watched this first time live on TV4. I applauded and smiled all the time when she performed.

Loreen's entry is very current sounding, it has a sort of similar feeling to me as Guetta/Sia's 'Titanium', probably one of the most up-to-date entries we sent and in this year's ESC aswell. It's one of few entries this year with an actual after-life and hit-potential.
It's also a perfect blend of current club-pop but still with a touch of artistry, originality and depth. This genre is quite often shallow, but Loreen brings something unique to this.
There's nothing kitschy with this at all. If you want kitsch you can surely point out better examples. However, I do agree that the performance of this song @ Humorgalan was pretty sh*t, and seriously she needs to drop the potato-bag clothing for ESC and wear something more classy. Other than that, I think we deserve to win this year, and I am NOT the biased type trust me, I haven't rooted for a Swedish entry in YEARS.

Guys...here is "brand new" piano cover (which is great by my oppinon). It's mix of this year songs of FYR Macedonia, Slovenia and Sweden. I want to hear more covers i guess. So help me, and tell him/her to do covers.
here is link of piano cover: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-ehux_GqE4
Well, it wasn't much Euphoria, but since I enjoy both Kaliopi and Eva Boto I put my thumbs up!

I'm sorry, although I think we must stick together in these wary times, I wonder:
Your focus is on this aspect of current is a bit strange. Just because it's recently done doesn't mean any additional value IMO. I understand that you mean the song is hooked on recent musical trends, but that doesn't really mean anything either. If we turned Melodifestivalen and Eurovision into a contemporary pop chart, what is the point with everything?
My view is that it instead should be counterforce to international (say British/American) pop, support local national music scenes and function as a platform for release of these scenes. Don't you agree? Swedes can be eager to have and use an easy promotion scene for contemporary Swedish pop (as it is at present), but in the long run this is not in our interest.
edit:
I still love your suggestions for MF 2013
