No idea on this one. I would assume it’ll fall on the side of novelty, but he’s a queen so hopefully it’ll be fun novelty.
 
Manoel was on their last series of Let's Dance/Strictly. What are the chances he goes down the Anna Book route and gives us a SAMBA SAMBERO style affair?

Constellation Prize - terrific, sole male Moopyfestivalen winner of the last decade
I Can't Go On - sleek, precision engineered banger
Take A Chance On Me - initially underwhelming melodic grower
Innocent Love - banger
 
Glad to have Arwin back. “This Dream Of Mine” is a banger.

Robin returning is fine, unless it’s a BALLAD but I reserve the right to change my mind if it’s a duet with Sigrid Bernson.

With all my LoOoOving ToniiiiiIIiight!
 
I fear this will be the time Robin decides to 'show the real him' with an ill-conceived attempt to sound like Hozier or something.

That or it'll be an utterly shameless re-write of Benson Boone.
 
I'm not opposed to Robin coming back but why must they choose so many REPEAT OFFENDERS with what's likely to be DIMINISHING RETURNS.

I think you would benefit from shifting your mindset to thinking of Melfest as more like Beyond Thunderdome, where the whole point is that acts continually return to see if they can survive another apocalyptic Swedish winter with enough kroner in the bank after a summer of gigs riding on the back of their Melfest HIT

If you used to obsessively follow the midweeks-first week sales trajectory of a pop act on their last legs in the late 90s/early 00s then this is the competition for you.
 
I say it every year, but thank God Italy aren't equally guilty of recycling the same old names year in year out. :side-eye:

This is correct. Globen or Bust 2005-2008 really was that exact “hope against hope”situation.

:BList:
 
Robin is a POP DEFENDER and I am confident he will know the track of the last year to rip off is Theo Evan - Shh :disco:
 
Are we speaking bros and beers country music, sadboi country music or Shania Twain-ish country music?

If it's the third of the three, then I'm sure I'll probably allow it. :disco: If the former two, then may he be relegated to 6th in the Semi-Final. :angry:
 
Robin is a POP DEFENDER and I am confident he will know the track of the last ten years to rip off is Mimi Werner - Ain't No Good :disco:
 
I would say my grudge against Robin is that "I Can't Go On" is my least favourite winner between "Las Vegas" and the current day. The whole package just came across so SMUG.

"Constellation Prize" is of course great and I do also allow and dance to "Take a Chance On Me". I guess he is due a good one.
 
Well for me, I Can't Go On is one of the best packages* I've ever seen at the contest (🤡)

(*and obligatory :ken:)

I had entirely forgotten he’d entered TWICE since I Can’t Go On. Is that a good sign?
 
Now THAT's interesting!

She's one of the few of her era who I think could still command enough goodwill to get through a semi final, if the song is up to scratch. And if she's waited over a decade to pull the trigger, you'd hope that it will be.
 
Wonder if it's going to be in it to win it or if she's just back for a Still Young-esque bow to pass the time and get her enough of a hit to get booked for the summer festivals?
