[Eurovisionified]

Let's put all of our differences aside and celebrate one thing together....and that is that Anton Ewald came last in the televote........muahahahahah.

Amen. :twisted:

I'm actually a bit surprised he did... sure he was vocally weak and the song is meh... but I thought he'd have more tweeny support than Oscar Zia and Yohio had

I don't let the outside dictate my taste either

Of course it's about taste and I never said anything else, but what I meant is that there is a general conventional idea about music consisting of sung verses - sung bridge - sung chorus... which belongs to the more "traditional" school of music so to speak... this doesn't have a "sung" chorus and therefor people liking the more, well, conventional idea will probably find this annoying.

The Polish entry is a mix of hip-hop, R&B and folk... you'd probably hate it

But you do let the outside dictate your taste a bit, since you're so hung up on staying in touch with what's fresh and modern. That is letting outside forces decide what kind of music you should like at the moment.

Believe me, I'm all about unconventional songs. As a huge fan of folk music, movie scores and various kinds of metal, there is very little mainstream conventions in the type of songs I usually love.

Woke up at 4 a.m in Japan to watch Sanna, and what a perfect result!

So glad she did it on her 7th attempt, really deserves it with this song too. My favourite so far!

Aye that is something I can indeed celebrate. :twistedisted:

Both are empty but this one is atleast better than "Empty Room"...

I disagree "Empty Room" was corny and silly but it could have fit perfectly in some teen musical "Undo" is just bland and empty feeling and wouldn't fit anywhere except as the #1 Eurovision song of OGAE members

 

[cassio]

What a comeback for Alcatraz.... they are still going strong, they are back on their 3ed place...... this is their true place....

Melodifestivalen is a pop music contest. You bringing up M.I.A. who is a really great artist in her genre, it just makes me realise how safe Ace's song is.

I understand where you are coming from though. Some of the stuff I listen to outside of Eurovision is especially bleak and unmelodious music. Music doesn't have to be melodious to be good.

Ace's song reminds me of when the Black Eyed Peas started to sell out and put out all those hideous, electronic party songs. Music doesn't have to be melodious but with pop music it helps. Someone like M.I.A. makes really interesting experimental electronic stuff. Ace's song is just shouty, rebellious pop for teenagers to feel cool to.

I wouldn't call Melodifestivalen a Pop contest, it is what you make it too... I mean people here still refer both MF and ESC as "Schlager contest"

Anyways, I don't hate Pop, never did... I think there's good and bad in all genres and I'm not really pretentious like that, I can love "Suus" AND "Busy Doin' Nothin'"

Sanna For this Year, Ace for next year . Ace knows the formula

I don't, but I have nothing against contemporary music though and I think ESC needs to stay in touch... that doesn't mean I think ESC should chase trends though... but dated conventional ballads is something we're almost only getting in ESC these days and it's not as if they add something imo because they're not uncovnentional, nor are they in-touch...

Well, there's different type of "non-conventional" music...

Ace should have won !!! Only 2 points !

Let's hope Ace plays her cards right and pull off a Loreen and enters again next year with an even STRONGER entry and wins...

I know all this. I'm just arguing against the notion that Ace's song was something fresh when it really isn't. I don't think it was fresh even in the context of Melodifestivalen as we have had quite a few spoken word/rap pop entries over the past few years.

 

[Robotboy]

loreen killed the eurovision. its now filled with trash, cheap loreen copies, and countless of female ballads. not watching. it really needed ace wilder

 

[Margerita86]

Looks like we will be getting the Great Ace debate this year instead of the Great Yohio debate last year. Poor UK no chance of getting the largest thread this year.

 

[Eurovisionified]

Robin Stjernberg is a good singer, but a real pushover. He would be put in submission by Sanna in seconds. Not only that, HE would be the one cooking dinner in the kitchen. Don't mess with her, Robin.

To me it's a bit of an oxymoron to say that ESC shouldn't chase trends but should stay in touch. Staying in touch means going by what is trendy at the moment, at least in my book.

Let's hope Ace plays her cards right and pull off a Loreen and enters again next year with an even STRONGER entry and wins...

It's the only justice that could be served after the atrocious event of today...
