[FetchFugly]

Darin YES, Oscar YES (as long as he isn't coming back for redemption with some drippy ballad), the other two not for now thanks.

SVT have leaked the announcement of some of the acts/song titles in a now deleted photo.

Jon Henrik Fjällgren, Eden and Uje Brandelius the newest names.

Spoiler

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Apparently one of the songs will be performed by someone who is more known as a food blogger.

The speculation is Tareq Taylor or Oscar's Zia brother Dante Zia are the rumoured performer:

 

[Penelope]

Oh HELLO Dante Zia

 

[win_the_game]

Dante Zia has the look of someone who claims to be on the top 1.2% of OnlyFans.

 

[Penelope]

Well, give or take a decimal point

 

[ILL ADVISED]

Dante Zia - OMG!

 

[Penelope]

Dante Zia - OMG!

[Penelope]

For 2023 I would like:

- CAZZI OPEIA
- Tone Sekelius
- Theoz
- Danny Saucedo (in FULL sellout Tokyo mode)
- Klara Hammarström (in FULL glittered battle regalia + tits out mode)
- Tusse (uncompetitive)

[ILL ADVISED]

We are EVER SO PREDICTABLE AREN'T WE

I can’t stop thinking about how lovely his cock probably is!!

 

[Alla]

So how many Y*va-L*nda songs you think we have this year?

 

[Apoca]

So how many Y*va-L*nda songs you think we have this year?

Depends on how many Swedish artists were lining up with 3,000kr in their purses

 

[HalamaK]

So how many Y*va-L*nda songs you think we have this year?

Even though they know SVT loves a full package & concept it's unfortunately still 0.

This year they were trying hard with Sarek, going so far as writing a whole full length album (and ofc sending it's fabulous entirety to Melfest production ).

 

[Suomi]

Unfortunately 0.
They know SVT loves a full package & concept so they were trying hard to get Sarek in, going so far as writing a whole full length album (and ofc sending it's entirety to Melfest production).

Oh my god where is this album

 

[Alla]

Oh my god where is this album

In the bargain bins already.

 

[HalamaK]

Oh my god where is this album

To be released next year unless they're recycled and picked up in Moldavia.

 

[HalamaK]

They might've even been the Sami act Tobbe mentioned as being rejected in favour of Jon-Henrik.

at Y&L netting an "almost mentioning" in Aftonbladet!

 

[Apoca]

i en värld full av strider part II but Y*va & L*nda replace Aninia

 

[HalamaK]

Some tidbits for @Suomi, filmed by Y&L themselves

Dit du vill


Bättre

 

[Apoca]

"Bättre" is making the world a BETTER PLACE. Wow.

 

[HalamaK]

HEY! YO! HEY! YO! HEY! YO!

 

[HalamaK]

Anina and reindeer has been scrapped, replaced by this

 

[Penelope]

Oh THAT'S what those words for the artists with Jon-Henrik were!

 

[Penelope]

Devastated that my annual pitch for 'En värld full av Rydé' appears to have been overlooked YET AGAIN however

 

[HalamaK]

Both THEOZ and Eva & Ewa are doing high bpm and dancing. THEOZ is keeping to Swedish and is also promising a stronger song with a cool show. Eva & Eva is going for the win this time.

Tone will give us "show, dance, a self confidence boost and a Tone Swedes might not be used to seeing".

Jon-Henrik Fjällgren will sing about missing someone far away (presumably his kid) with Artic North and Adam Woods are bringing the "festival feeling" to MF. Expect heavy EDM.

 

[HalamaK]

Wiktoria going uptempo with a very danceable tune.

 

[Apoca]

Almost didn't recognise Wiktoria.

 

[HalamaK]

Loulou doing a Mitt Liv, competing with a self written song in Swedish.

 

[Suomi]

Heat One

1. Victor Crone - uptempo
2. Twink - ballad
3. LouLou Lamotte - doesn’t really know what her performance will look like, appears to be winging it
4. Eva and Ewa - high BPM
5. Beary Duo - country
6. Tone Sekelius - uptempo, show
7. Jon Henrik - party

 

[Suomi]

*this is not the running order, but alphabetical by song title

 

[Suomi]

Heat two

1. Wiktoria - lots of dancers, uptempo, says this is the most excited she’s ever been, thought I saw the barrel of a gun hovering behind her
2. Eden - just kept banging on about being in the competition
3. Uje - a song about cooking
4. Theoz - same song as last year, but thinks this one is better
5. Maria Sur - song about leaving Ukraine
6. Tennessee Tears - a country song, but more excitedly one gets the impression that after eight years of playing pubs they’ll not be gracious if their big breakthrough is thwarted by some Swedish twink
7. Panetoz - basically more of the same as first two entries

 

[Pingu]

*this is not the running order, but alphabetical by song title

Not based on the titles you’ve posted it isn’t.

 

[Suomi]

Not based on the titles you’ve posted it isn’t.

I haven’t posted any song titles…oh you mean you think I should have

 

[HalamaK]

*this is not the running order, but alphabetical by song title

My take on the running order:

1. Eva and Ewa - high BPM, spectacle
2. Twink - ballad
3. Beary Duo - Swedish ploy country
4. Victor Crone - uptempo
5. LouLou Lamotte - Swedish (ballad?)
6. Tone Sekelius - uptempo, show
7. Jon Henrik, Artic North feat. AW - party

or

1. Jon Henrik, Artic North feat. AW - party
2. Twink - ballad
3. Eva and Ewa - high BPM, spectacle
4. Beary Duo - Swedish ploy country
5. Victor Crone - uptempo
6. LouLou Lamotte - Swedish (ballad?)
7. Tone Sekelius - uptempo, show

If Karin senses weakness in Victor Crone and Loulou she'll go for something along the lines of:

1. Tone Sekelius - uptempo, show
2. LouLou Lamotte - Swedish (ballad?)
3. Victor Crone - uptempo
4. Beary Duo - Swedish ploy country
5. Twink - ballad
6. Eva and Ewa - high BPM
7. Jon Henrik, Artic North feat. AW - party

Heat 1 is interesting in that it has a total of four Swedish songs in it which in my view makes JHF almost certain to open or close.

E&E or Victor Crone being seeded into the 1st or 6th slots would be indicators of very energetic or competitive entries as they lack the notoriety to be placed there on name recognition alone.

 

[HalamaK]

SVT must be thinking JHF and Tone DTF and E&E for AC with Loulou and Crone competing for the last spot, no?

 

[Suomi]

I suspect Tone would be first out as she represents the success of last year and is uptempo and familiar.

I would too but if Tone is to open it would have made more sense to save one Swedish language entry for a later SF

 

[Madison]

Darin has promised a special announcement at 10am tomorrow.

“ I’ve longed to go on a big tour again and to see you dance and sing along! This is going to be so sick!!! Tickets are out tomorrow at 10 am CET on darinofficial.com”

 

[win_the_game]

I miss the days when SVT would initially only announce generic song titles and songwriters. You’d have weeks of speculation that Danny would be singing ‘The Queen’.
