A Song For SuomiFrid: The Final (CLOSING DATE: FRIDAY 2nd JULY 18:59pm)

[AlgoAlex]

Managed to rule out 12 already now to let the others bed in

 

[RS]

I hate to say it, but the basic schlager/eurovision adjacent songs are the ones that are sounding the best for me now.

 

[win_the_game]

Not the German schlager rock surely!

 

[OutSynk]

We had schlager?

 

[RS]

Not the German schlager rock surely!

Nothing that sounds like something Finland would send to Eurovision or Buttertart and Alla would send to ASFM.

 

[ButterTart]

I didn’t think any of the songs sounded schlager

 

[Alla]

My entries were always completely different styles, so I don't even know what you're talking about.

 

[Raining on Me]

I nearly considered Jane Weaver. I have to ask, and I'll assume this is allowed, but to whoever did send that why didn't they send the subtle disco vibes of Solarised instead?! It would have done a zillion times better. Like, at least 3 places higher

Well that’s good. I did worry the universe would implode for a second.

 

[RS]

Sorry to the language police, by schlager I meant Melodifestivalen.

 

[ButterTart]

Remember when I sent Goliath and it was so iconic that Charlotte Perrelli covered it as her Melfest entry the following month?

 

[Alla]

The only one that was close to that was my first entry, Sweet true lies, but remember you said...

I have zero recollection of this supposed classic, but I’m sure it was as bad as described above.

Right

This is 10x better tbh.

 

[Lucille]

Although probably too well known amongst the RADIO 6 clique.

I have received an anonymous statement in response to this comment. Anonymous to you all, but not to me as obviously their identity cannot be revealed.

I didn't hear that new Jane Weaver song until after I'd entered mine and then when I did hear it I was like ** ***** [cannot be repeated before 9pm, will edit then]

Although I think the one I chose is more DIFFERENT from the other entries so swings and roundabouts

 

[Raining on Me]

Very happy to pick anyone's future ASFM entries if they need assistance, you all only have to ask xxx

Speaking of other songs by 6 Music faves in ASFM, Katy J Pearson's latest video was directed by JOE LYCETT. The song isn't any more interesting, but at least Joe knew to keep her CAMEL TOE out of shot.

Ugh I was in the gym the other day and heard the aerobics class for seniors were working out to it.

Right

Remembering that it was bad is not the same thing as remembering the exact song.

I saw that yesterday when I was having a moment to KJP. I did wonder if it was THE Joe Lycett

Who knew he’d branched out into directing music videos!

 

[Kate]

I WILL NOT STAND for this Sweet True Lies bashing and neither will @ButterTart once he's finished bashing Solange.

They had them both on for a chat the other week. They became pals over lockdown or something.

 

[ButterTart]

Sweet True Lies gave me the confidence to send bawdy rock nonsense I’d otherwise never have dared to send

Also I’m going to stop bashing Regina Solange because there’s a poster behind that terrible song and they might be upset at my brutal campaign of accuracy.

 

[Raining on Me]

I don't remember there being such a big a favourite as the Tina Arena one before, normally we have a few options. What else is in the running?

I wouldn't mind one of those Real Housewives of Eastern Europe type entries to be honest, basic be damned.

 

[Kate]

I have it on good authority that Jun Togawa will KILL YOU if you don't say you love her vote for her.

 

[OutSynk]

I've had two sleepless nights due to this heat so I'd welcome this anyway.

 

[Raining on Me]

Eva No is most definitely not giving 100% but I keep coming back for more

 

[Kate]

I'm QUITE TORN with Eva - the synthy bits are lovely but the souky Eurovisiony bits are NOT.

 

[Lucille]

It’s the MYSTERIOUS Eva No.

 

[ButterTart]

There’s one song that I had literally zero recollection of which ended up getting a ton of points from me. The moral of the story is that anything is possible.

 

[Raining on Me]

I have it on good authority that Jun Togawa will KILL YOU if you don't say you love her vote for her.

I was JUST about to come in and say, CROWN IT, please (or at least give her a medal). Relatable villain, too. Possibly @ButterTart

Yeah okay, we have a few frontrunners.

 

[Alla]

I love how you all keep targeting songs claiming they're the favourite to win

I mean it's like Eurovision. Who doesn't want to overanalyse this shit to death!

 

[win_the_game]

Is Tina Arena winning this?

Quite a few of the acts seem a little too well known this time around.

I keep singing ‘can you turn into a teacup?’ at random intervals so it’s definitely an ear worm. Mind you, I woke up with Marmozets stuck in my head this morning as well.

 

[Soldi]

Tina Arena better not be bloody winning this! What a WASTE of everyone’s time!

 

[ZenGiraffe]

The only acceptable 80s/(ish) winner is Jun Togawa

 

[Suomi]

all the Australian girls have brought it to this competition

 

[Alla]

Wait a minute, has Ag been deleted? What happened!?

 

[RS]

That song about Chains was the big single from the soundtrack of my twink summer of 1995. I haven’t actively heard anything else by Tina Arena since then.
