A personal view on the Eurovision Song Contest
The end of on-season approaches rapidly, which can only mean one thing: time to travel to Globen Friends Arena for the grand Melodifestivalen final. We’ve seen all participants, but who will get the ticket to Tel Aviv? Hello, crystal ball?Continue reading “Melodifestivalen 2019 Final: The (p)Review – Meh-lodifestivalen”
Trend alert: every year there’s this one National Final that trumps – *coughs* nay triumphs over – all other NF’s. And rather unexpectedly *coughs again* it was one of the Nordics holding it in store for us!Continue reading “Review: Norsk Melodi Grand Prix & Melodifestivalen Andra Chansen”
Another weekend in February, another National Finals frenzy. You choose, you lose!Continue reading “NF frenzy – Unser Lied für Israel + Melodifestivalen 2019 semi 4: I do…or do I?”
No, not Jinx Monsoon. The infamous Dimivision jinx! There’s always one night where everything goes exactly the opposite of how it should go (in my own little not that humble opinion). Yesterday was that night. Assuming it’s limited to one night only, that is…Continue reading “Melodifestivalen 2019 semi 3: Jinx!”
Second weekend of February, so ON SEASON is in full swing, which makes for tough choices – dedicate time to every selection, or play catch-up afterwards cause life goes on?

Oh, it’s ON season again? Damn time, moving too fast – I’m totally not ready for all the NF drama yet. But okay, let’s have at it then! Starting with France!

Rest assured, that title does not function as a slogan for my feelings towards this year’s final. It’s simply a manifestation of pure self awareness. It’s the least I could do after having doubted or even ignored the eventual top three. My crystal ball was clearly on holiday. I can already hear septa Unella and her bell behind me. Shame. Shame. Shame!

Due to extreme outdoors activities yesterday I totally missed my ‘the day after’ appointment for Semi 2 – let’s make up for that by giving a quick look back and a quick look forward in one go.
