Y*va & L*nda National Final GREATEST HITS Boiler Survivor - ROUND ONE (1 Viewer)

[Haiku Rewrites]

For my first Boiler Survivor on Moopy, I'm welcoming Moopy to explore the fascinating, curiousity and somewhat morbid world of the Persson twins (aged 30 and 37).

We will be celebrating their glorious range of (and rewrites of) hits that showcase the TALENT AND CREATIVITY of this powerful twosome in their endless bid to represent any country but Sweden (Bjorkman has probably banned them).

As Alias #23 put it, enjoy Sweden's answer to VELLA & BORG.

For this game, the 14 songs selected are those that got their best result in their participations between 2013-2022 and just some other iconic particpants.

We're going to start this game with a double elimination. For this round the rules, VOTE OUT YOUR TWO LEAST FAVES (OR LEAST TOLERABLES).

[Alias #23]

It’s like having our very own MALTESE NATIONAL FINAL

Loving their insistence on appearing as backing vocalists and adding a very special touch of TWIN GLAMOR

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

they are almost all the same songs.

Voted the two least memorable from THIS MAJESTIC OPUS of INNOVATION.

 

[Pingu]

Oh my god

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

You have Bang Bang, Rolling In The Deep, Come And Get It and Glitter & Gold among others

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Those Doinita songs are quite something else but at least have identity

 

[Alias #23]

Is that the two GHOULS to Lidia’s right?

WALK THE TALK is especially hot

 

[Alias #23]

I know the audience was being polite but the CLAPPING at the end of Walk The Talk seemed a little incongruous

 

[Alias #23]

They’re just SONGS FOR THE SAKE OF IT (and 300 euro a pop), aren’t they?

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

you'd get more variety out of those old Barbie/Action Man CDs that used to come with cereal and at least made the effort to SOMEWHAT have two similar sounding but slightly different songs.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

I propose next Round we sacrifice 3 ACTS AT ONCE

And to streamline this process (not that this talent isn't appreciated )

 

[Alias #23]

Ukraine 2016 at least has a bit of life to it if not much memorable melody

Also, loving the LEATHER TROUSERS AND JAUNTY BLOUSE

 

[Alla]

I'm selling my vote for 300€, DM if you want your favourite to win this

 

[Alias #23]

God they’re ALL DREADFUL AREN’T THEY

 

[Alla]

Loving the equestrian touch of some of those performances.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

God they’re ALL DREADFUL AREN’T THEY

This is a game of perseverance and picking the lesser evil in the end. :P

 

[Alla]

What a load of tosh, my goodness.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

and this is the best of what I could find from their work

Trust me, there were some even worse terrors

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

admittedly I skimmed through a lot but a few seconds was enough.

 

[Alla]

Voting for your least favourites when they're all terrible is just mission impossible I think I'm gonna go for those where they're not on stage, I just need them there

 

[Alla]

and this is the best of what I could find from their work

Trust me, there were some even worse terrors

I'm honestly sorry for you going through all that

 

[Alias #23]

Being fluent in Georgian I can reveal that what she’s saying at the beginning of Georgia 2017 is “I’ve always wanted to be a singing sensation even though I have no natural singing talent whatsoever and when these two freakish twin cunts offered to give me a Eurosong winner for only 300 euro, I said yes and told Grigol that the children would just have to go without food for the next year.”

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

I say we get this game done in Three Rounds, shorter than the Usual Survivor but justified.
Round ONE: 14 songs to 12 songs
Round TWO: 12 songs to 9 songs
Round THREE: Crown Lidia the winner (or ok, Viktoria is fine )

[Ha-lucy-nation]

Do I have time to listen to this shit?

Unfortunately YES.

 

[Alla]

Being fluent in Georgian

Just like @RJN, who's actually from Georgia.

 

[Alla]

I just noticed the ROUND ONE bit !

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

I just noticed the ROUND ONE bit !

Don't worry this game won't go past Round Three or Four. I don't want us to end up with Stockholm Syndrome like poor BELARUSSIAN SONGSTRESS Janet locked in their basement and has convinced herself she loves these PROFESSIONAL and INSPIRATIONAL twisted sisters.

 

[Alias #23]

Well it’s been a long time since I’ve heard a series of melodies this RICH AND ORIGINAL

 

[Alias #23]

Remedy is ESPECIALLY APPALLING

 

[Alias #23]

I am very tempted to keep the WORST ONES in

 

[Alias #23]

It does seem that they target people from not terribly well off countries who aren’t very good at singing and would never be given a song by ANYONE HALF-DECENT and GRINNINGLY POCKET THE 300 EURO REGARDLESS

Really they should be LOCKED UP

 

[Alla]

Any of them is the worst one

They must have Swedish Mafia ties with all that money and people still going to them for songs!

Lidia talked out against and now there's radio silence.

 

[Alias #23]

I’ve now got fucking REMEDY stuck in my head so I’ve revised my original votes to KEEP IT IN

Oh I wondered whether there was a Lidia update. What has she said?

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

the exact same thing here

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

nothing since the 20th February.
