Melodifestivalen 2023: Deltävling 3 - Lidköping

I note that two of this week's songs are written by the dreaded DEBS who have a tendency to be slightly too mechanical and arid for my liking. However, would I with Joy?

YES I WOULD :horny:
 
It cuts in mid sentence there, but I think he's commenting on G:son's LUCIOUS LOCKS and comparing him to 'Johnny the Rocker', which is a popular Swedish song by Magnus Uggla.
 
There’s rumours circulating online that M&M’s manager has said that are only entering MF to boost their profile in Sweden (which is probably the same for most other acts) but if they win they will decline the opportunity to go to Eurovision.

I can imagine there will be a massive backlash if they do win.
 
1 - Nordman - YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES! YES! YES!!! YES !!! YESSSSSS

2 - Casanovas - OMG still hyperventilating on the floor and cannot get up from Nordman (YES!!!! YES!). These verses are like a gay Bond theme! Love everyone saying Linda Bengtzing would be dying to send this when that chorus is basically just Värsta schlagern. But to be fair, she was totally dying to send that too

3 - hang on just need to go back to 1 - Nordman - OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG YES YES YES DEAR GOD CAN THEY PLEASE JUST SEND SOMETHING LIKE THIS ONE YEAR

okay 3 - Marcus & Martinus - give this hot shit to MOHOMBI! I will defend Winners to the death, but this is totally what he should've sent if he wanted to go for the win. Can't wait to hear what the drop's like, hope it's as good as Jasmine Kara - Gravity's

4 - Laurell - the Margaret apology tour comeback I never dared dream of (OMG hope Margaret's okay) - she slays!

5 - Melanie Wehbe - I'm so sorry but in the 'gladiatorial songwriter cagefight for the last slice of bacon' stakes, Laurell totally wins this round. Imagine for the purposes of this mental image an imperious Fredrik Kempe sat in a toga and gold leaf laurel crown at the head of the Lidköping arena/colosseum, louchely waving a balloon and staring penetratingly at Marcus and Martinus as he idly contemplates which of Melanie and Laurell will win eternal glory (the right to write a song for Cyprus's Eurovision entry this year), and which will be condemned to eternal shame (the right to write a song for Germany's Eurovision entry this year)

6 - Ida-Lova - it's nice but I spent the whole thing being distracted by the fact she has the same face as Ace Wilder and wondering if I'd cracked the case of her disappearance. I mean it's not like it'd be the first time she pretended to be an 18 year old, even if a ballad would be EXCEPTIONALLY deep cover on her part

7 - Paul Rey - I am immediately so sorry for defending this in advance - my fight or flight instincts kicked in the second it opened with a guitar. I get that this Radio 1-at-its-worst pop has its place but this could be a STEFAN single and I am sad every time something like that happens. Why did they let two Victor Crone singles into the lineup this year? As a wise woman once said - get the fuck out of my gay pop contest! The power of Alcazar compels you! [flicks bottle of Andreas Lundstedt's semen at Paul Rey like holy water]

-

It's a good week, the best so far! I think this year is going to be like 2007 - ultimately not that great and a little underwhelming, but each heat better than the one that came before it, and still a few hot classics to take home at the end of the season. Okay going back to replay Nordman now bye

I’m glad it’s not just me that took offence to the wild claims that Paul Rey has fielded a banger. It’s polite pop. If Wiki didn’t qualify last week, he has no business qualifying here.

Sadly, he’s up against probably the weakest female line up I’ve ever seen in any one heat.
 
SVT has repurposed Danny's old scene clothes for Paul Rey

Paul Rey going ReBeLS is about as believable as Prydz going BANAS, although I'm not sure this LIAMOO-reject would've felt more authentic with its original performer.

Yes I'm sorry but I am never letting people forget your ridiculous notion that because he happened to be in the room when I Can't Get Enough was created he was suddenly going to come back as Agnes.

Songwriter Wehbe brings a bronze cylinder to her Melfest debut.

Somewhere inside it Isa Tengblad is hiding on choir duties. I think this is a magnificent grower if perhaps more suited for radio than Melodifestivalen. I hope she'll be able to advance in some form.

We've boosted our profile in Sweden, that's enough, let's FUCK boosting it across the entire continent!

:angry:
 
Wow, Paul Rey is every bit the stage presence void on an uptempo song as he was on his interminable ballads. I resent such a terrible performer qualifying yet again.
 
Love how SVT claims to put as much effort into every staging!

M&M wants plans for 64 camera cuts and advanced choreography in synch with lasers, smoke machines and hoovering podiums.

What about Christine Meltzer's daughter?
Give her 24 camera cuts. We've got a spare roll of that orange tulle used for Linda Bengtzing dress. Let's unfurl that across the stage :)

That's just one xenophobic fan over at escforum spreading fake rumours to try to prevent the Norwegian boys from representing the wrong country. The twins has been unusually bold by Swedish standards in their candidness about aiming for an ESC participation.


Luckily it got shut down quite rapidly...

Remember a vote for Marcus & Martinus is a vote into a black hole. They are only there for promotion and if rumors are to be believed from their manager they wouldn's even accept the spot at Sweden for Eurovision if they won. With all that being said it seems like them and Paul Rey are strong favorites to go DTF.

Are they even allowed to do this?

Not you trying to stop their win by spreading rumors.

Is SVT going to hold them hostage? If they wanted to actually do ESC they would've competed for . It's no different to when Margaret and Krista Sigfrieds competed. (Except Krista probably would've done ESC) Promotion purposes only.

Who said that? I dont believe this at all cause they seem very keen to take part in Eurovision. Maybe the «rumor» is thrown out to stop people voting for them (as you just did by saying a vote for them is a waste of a vote ), cause someone is afraid of them winning?:wink:

Yeah, right, That's definitely not the case
Both Margaret and Krista would do ESC too.
Guys are there for promotion. ESC is the biggest option.
