Christ alive. A glam revival? No ta.

 

[Kala]

Although The Ark are from Växjö, where I will be living. But whats the song this SO sounds like>?

 

[dmlaw]

Ugh. Noel Fielding's creepier brother with a song rejected by Gary Glitter for being too unpleasant.

 

[D5K]

Why would anyone call the fire brigade?!

 

[Suomi]

The Ark have a really solid discography - this was slightly eccentric from their usual sound. I went to a gig of theirs this year and it was one of the best I’ve ever been to

 

[Tisch]

Am I meant to like this? Very Rocky Horror!

 

[Penelope]

I actually have a LOT of time for this, even though I'd much rather it had come from Norway than Sweden.

 

[VoR]

I like some other The Ark songs, but it's like everything about this performance was precision engineered to be as off-putting as humanly possible.

 

[AlgoAlex]

Fucking awful Sweden

 

[Soldi]

I’m on the LAST ROUND of the FACEBOOK QUIZ

Love grows where my rosemary goes or something like that

Why are you MOVING TO VAXJO?!

 

[Beverley]

[Zu]

Looks a bit like Sophie-Ellis Bextor

Anyway I HATE THIS

Ride A White Swan by T-Rex mixed with Blockbuster by The Sweet.

 

[Alla]

Thank god for your Georgian, I couldn't find it. x

POST POST POST

 

[octophone]

A fiver says he transitioned within 5 years of that perf.

 

[Alla]

This is BORING.

 

[Kala]

Why are you MOVING TO VAXJO?!

I'm going to study Swedish at uni there...

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Pop it away hun.

 

[D5K]

This won the first ever Melodifestivalen heat I went to. I felt robbed.

 

[FetchFugly]

I didn't mind this at the time but his performance is very unappealing watching now.

 

[Beverley]

Not at all!

GURRL

 

[win_the_game]

It should have been Therese spinning on that wheel thing croaking out the 'The Arrival'

 

[Alla]

Sweden getting it wrong 3 years in a row 2005-07 was tragic.

[dmlaw]

I think Regina Lund might have something to say about that.

 

[Apoca]

This was just utterly soulless and you can tell they were completely over the entire Melodifestivalen/Eurovision machine by that point. And it gave off such an arrogant vibe.

Not one of Sweden's crowning moments.
