Apparently, according to the first rehearsal, there's going to be less darkness and more lighting and know from prior interviews that there is going to be more background dancers onstage than in the national final. Do you think these changes will raise or lower our chances of winning?

I say it raises them. Makes the song more accessible. The "darkness" theme wouldn't fly that well in the East.

background dancers? Where did you hear that?

Seeing this eurovision.tv version (the TV version) is encouraging I think, as much of the original feeling from Melodifestivalen semi in Växjö is still there. The other videos (e.g. escxtra.com versions) are more from an audience perspective. Interesting to see these different angels. Music wise I stopped worrying, she's just breathtaking and the voice is even getting stronger and stronger. I guess she have worked hard to find the right breath moments.

Interviews with Loreen and/or Christer Björkman in Aftonbladet and Expressen. Too lazy to try to find them right now.

she has a beautiful voice and she sounds great live but i didnt really like the rehearsal. i dont think there will be many changes and for swedens sake i do hope for smt less dark. i dont know what it is but i liked it better when i heard it from melodifestivalen.

One thing that i sorely missed was the the yellow-ish back-light that in MF made it look like she was surrounded by a halo....here's hoping it's still there and it was due to the lack of fabric in her rehearsal-clothes, hence the light having nothing to "hit".

Beautiful pics wont make up for the sh*t rehearsal :lol: Is it possible for her to sing one note on-key in the verses?!

yup yup we know you hate it... la la la :lol:

Actually, what bother me are the background singers though. It's true though, it was a bit off-key, but I still believe this is a song contest and not and Idol show.

And sorry, but I still think her vocals are pretty good so I don't get the hate...

You know, I think that even if Loreen took a 3 minute nap on the stage, she would pass to the final with flying colors and win anyway. It won't matter how she'll perform, people will vote (and a lot) for her. I think she'll receive more than 450 points in the final. No, not overrated at all :D

For some reason i thought she looked extremely sensual in her rehearsal today. She just oozes femininity :lol:

What bothers me is that she still mumbles during the verses! And I find the backing vocals unnecessary. Other than that she was great!

It was a good rehearsal as expected, but vocally - it wasn't great. Seems to me like she was nervous on some parts. Other than that, it's good that the act from MF didn't change. I like the backdrop too.

For me, it is still one of the mega favorites for the win.

I agree with both. She mumbled during the verses in MF, and she still continue doing so. It seems those verses, the way they are structured, seem kinda hard to really articulate. But she should try.

Anyways, majority of the viewers are not really that good in English so it doesn't matter too much :lol:
