[Penelope]

Oh THANK FUCKING CHRIST FOR NANNE GRONVALL

 

[Tisch]

Nice song though!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Oh some sanity at last.

 

[Suomi]

He looked pretty good (and surprisingly on trend NOW) at the time, but the years have not been kind

you wash your mouth, we love our new Slovakian daddy!

 

[Tisch]

Oh THANK FUCKING CHRIST FOR NANNE GRONVALL

Is it ACTUALLY?

 

[Penelope]

Can't wait to start hysterically crying to Enyapool Karaoke

 

[Penelope]

Is it ACTUALLY?

It IS!

 

[lolly]

Nanne just isn't Nanne when she isn't wigging out and dancing like she's straddling a torso, though

 

[Penelope]

God, in a year this fucking mid-tempo how the FUCK did Gina not win?!

 

[Tisch]

I skipped whoever was after Bosnia. Looked like a MAN anyway. BACK ON TRACK NOW.

 

[Suomi]

Den Vilda won the preselection to get the 30 entries down to 23 by quite a lot, and when I looked up why they then only came 3rd in the real thing it seems like a lot of the countries that gave them 12 points (Germany, Denmark, Macedonia) were all knocked out

 

[AGinAg (37)]

This is of course very very lovely.

 

[VoR]

I like how the one who isn't Nanne looks like a WICKED QUEEN

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Who is the other lady?

 

[dmlaw]

Well it's an excellent final song, at least.

 

[Suomi]

I hope you all realise we have been PLAYED by VoR in order to give Elisabeth Andreasson and mid-menopause Nanne some extra screen time. I swear to god if he recommends that Highlands album one more time

 

[AGinAg (37)]

God, in a year this fucking mid-tempo how the FUCK did Gina not win?!

It was 1000 songs ago

 

[Soldi]

This is magnificent

 

[Penelope]

What an utterly TRIUMPHANT LAST MINUTE!

!

 

[Suomi]

if he recommends that Highlands album one more time

Omg genuinely no pun intended!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

What happened with the Melodifestivalen pop up??

 

[Penelope]

"We like to think there are no language barriers" *song in English wins again*

 

[VoR]

Who is the other lady?

Maria Rådsten. She had a passable 90s Melfest entry solo and did many other good songs with Nanne as part of this group.

Highland would have WALKED 90s Eurovision had they entered it.

 

[dmlaw]

Well, if I vote on the studio version of Ooh Aah Just A Little Bit then it's clearly the best. If I vote based on Gina's vocal then it may slip a place or two.

 

[Tisch]

Who is the other lady?

Not really, it's Maria Rådsten who in 2003, she released a new single called "Head Over Heels", as a calling card of sorts for her new album. However, the album's release was canceled, after more than seven years of work.

Well they blew their load with Ginag (39) right out of the gate and just left us sitting in the wet patch for the rest of the show. Thank Christ manipulated running orders are now a thing.
