And for 184, to prevent a 3 DNQ streak, I gotta bring out one of the big guns in Swedish dancepop (IMHO) - hit after hit from this legend, and bizarrely she's only featured once in WV before... and with, in my opinion, her worst single...

So I'm calling on anyone that would like to help me select my entry to send me a PM or comment below that you're interested in helping and I'll send you over the 6 songs that I'm considering with the voting format. I might reach out to a few peeps that I know would enjoy the tunes too.

Our artist for next edition is......... Petra Marklund!! But you may know her better as...

SEPTEMBER

[theCONWEL]

Winner of our September NF is in Semi 1 for your listening pleasure... The winner was the top choice for 3 out of the 4 voters (a close second for that fourth voter), as well as my personal fave.

WV 184 ENTRY
SEPTEMBER - CAN'T GET OVER

​

 

[theditz83]

This didn't get the media attention it deserved with all the other drama surrounding Eurovision 2024, so let's relive one of Loreen's very best tracks

WV 184 ENTRY
LOREEN - FOREVER

WV 184 ENTRY
LOREEN - FOREVER

​

Honestly, I am so sad Forever has flopped so hard. It didn't help that Loreen changed labels, the song has zero radio and playlist support. Her interval act was very impressive but I think it was a little bit boring after the first two minutes.

For 187, I'm bringing you my very first Swedish language entry during my time with - sorry it's taken so long, but hope you'll agree it was worth the wait.... Pop diva incoming

WV 187 ENTRY
Molly Sandén - Hålla Mig

​

 

[theditz83]

So my brief sojourn into Swedish metal must wait... But hopefully our back-up entry will still appeal to another side of the higher pot members... Keeping it Molly...

WV 188 ENTRY
Molly Hammar - Deep Down

 

[BernadetteCydonia]

unedit it we need to keep pretending you actually sent something cool for once

 

[theditz83]

Back-up entry posted now...

 

[theditz83]

There's a little private vote going on for anyone that wants to give their opinion on a couple of songs in the frame for 189 for us...

Trying to get a broad mix of opinions from many Pots so I can cover all the bases, so if you want to help, holler here or send me a message and I'll send the songs...

You might already know one.... Say no more

 

[theditz83]

Thanks all, I've sent my entry - we'll see how it is received by the masses

 

[theditz83]

Cast your mind back to WV 188 - Gary took a bold step, ditching his usual pop/dance divas in favour of some symphonic metal from the group Majestica. Sadly, the lead singer had already agreed to perform for Svealand, so the entry was not valid in the end, but things happen for a reason...

And the reason on this occasion is because after the submission for WV 188, Majestica released a brand new track, the debut from their new album.... And it is, without a shadow of a doubt, MY FAVOURITE EVER METAL TRACK. Bar none.

Just listen to the epic vocal performance. The melodies. The harmonies. The unusual key change up and back down again. And that guitar solo

Take note any people that may send metal or rock - this is how to snag BIG points from me; highly melodic, epic, and expertly executed deliciousness! @Stargazer @as78 I need your Reju votes - could've cried seeing you in the other Semi! And sorry @EurovisionSmile - I know you preferred the folk-tinged "Metal United" to this one, but I just cannot deny my favourite metal song ever a chance to represent my country at WV!

SWEDEN WV 189
MAJESTICA - A New Beginning

​

 

[EurovisionSmile]

Don't be silly, sweety. You asked to choose one between 2, and I did considering an aspect that allowed me to do so, that doesn't mean that I don't like this A.W.E.S.O.M.E choice of yours. .

 

[theditz83]

For WV190 we're going for a nice little "could've been in Melodifestivalen if it had been released a little later" track... Been stuck in my head for weeks!

WV 190 ENTRY
Sofie Svensson & Dom Där - Helium

​

 

[theditz83]

Sofie & Dom Där just missed out... I wonder if they'd have got through with the original song I considered below....

So now, and keeping in a more similar vein to the above, it's time to open up the choice for our 191 entry to you guys...

5 EDM bangers, and only one can represent Sweden next edition!

Rank the songs below from favourite (1st) to least favourite (5th) - no points required to keep it simple, but comments on the tracks are always welcome!

Deadline will be midnight the day before WV 191 CONFIRMATION.
