My top and ranking 2nd. ESC semi 2011.mmp.wmv

[fnaas]

1. Uhm... Eh.. Haha xD But thanks for 1st place! ;)

3. My 3rd too. Fantastic!

*That's a big jump.. :o*

15. I love it. (Even the accordion part) :)

17. Indeed.

18. Oh come on, it's not that bad! ^^

19. Lmao....

@fnaas 19. Thanks. 18. Sorry, but I think it is. these kind of acapella things can be absolutely fantastic, when the voices complements each other - and know their place - unlike here where everyone is seeking the limelight individually. Incidentally, just today I saw someone called Darren Criss & The Wablers do Katy Perry`s Teenage Dream - and was just blown away how amazing it was. Just using their voices - it sounded like a full orchestra as well as synth and beats - but only 1 lead vocalist.

@fnaas 17. I take that as an approval. 15. Don`t mind the accordian part myself. But everytime he went in to another set, the music seemed to change completely. So to me it sounds more like snippets of different music put together, than a complete song. I know is a big jump, but an automatic windows update ruined most of the mid section when I had to let the cat in - and feed him. You missed the Bosnian singer being compared to Anthony Quinn. Who is your 2nd? 1.Sorry if I offended - not intent.

@Tvjunkieful12

18. Oh, I love glee! xD “Teenage Dream” is one of my least favourite of their (Warblers) covers though.. Probably because I don't really like the song.. ^^ But I agree; it does sound like a full orchestra. It's really good.

15. Guess I missunderstood..

Computers can be biatches if they want to.. xD

My 2nd is Israel.. Might of course change tonight!

1. Don't worry. I don't really find bicuriousness offending.. I just didn't see that one coming!

[Tvjunkieful12]

@fnaas Grattis, grattis! Sweden in final! They had to hold him to the last one, didn`t they - just like Rybak in 2009. Poor Christer Bjørckmann, he was probably the one sweathing the most of all. I`m really pleased Sweden made it - and Ireland, and Denmark. With all these ballads going thru as well, it is a very open field for Saturday. Cant wait! Glee, what little I`ve seen on Swedish TV 4, is great in every way. 1. It`s the type of humour that either makes you embaressed or laugh your head off

[fnaas]

@Tvjunkieful12 Tack så mycket! :D

Oh, that might be a good sign. But Eric isn't “into that stuff like that”.. (Lol, reference to the press conference, not sure if you saw it..)

I'm not very pleased with the outcome.. I really miss Latvia and Israel. And all songs in my bottom 3 of this Semi made it. -__- (MDA,ROU&BIH)

But I'm very happy for Denmark, Ukraine, Estonia, Ireland and (of course) Sweden, even though I'm not fully pleased with his live vocals. :) Can't wait either!

[fnaas]

@fnaas Correction *“into stuff like that”* xD

[Tvjunkieful12]

@fnaas Bosnia & H was saved by the silver hair brigade, I think - as well as his extensive fanbase in the Balkan region. Luckily Ice and Spa will be there to steal votes off him, otherwise he would have been my number one tip for Saturday. Mol is unexplainable - but a welcome vote stealer for Geo. Rom a comprimise of new and old - could destroy a little for Hun. Not seen press conference, but I trust he can take a joke as a joke - he didn`t slap Danny when he kissed him. Know of girlfriend Molly

[fnaas]

@Tvjunkieful12

BIH: Lol, probably true.

MDA: I like Georgia! :)

You misunderstood me.. Understandable since you haven't seen it, I wasn't that clear (sorry) & what Eric said sounded a bit funny.. I meant it might be a good sign they announced Eric last since Rybak won and he was announced last..

[fnaas]

@fnaas (Forts.)

Basically what happened was an (extremely weird-looking) Australian reporter asked him if he thought that the fact ABBA placed 3rd in Melodifestivalen the year before they won ESC was an omen he would win this year. (Since he placed 3rd in MF last year). And Eric answered: I don't know actually. I'm not in to stuff like that. (Superstitions) ;)

(He later said he is psychic though, so it's a bit contradictory. xD)

[Tvjunkieful12]

@fnaas I think that was a very unfair, and sneaky, question of the reporter to ask. Poor Saade, he probably saw the mindfield and tried to manouvre across it carefully enough not the step on any of them. Just imagaine the headlines the next day if he had said yes: SAADE THINKS HE IS THE NEW ABBA. He had looked a complete prat - ABBA being one of the most successfull bands in history. But if he had said no: SAADE DOUBT HE CAN WIN. Not ideal either. If he is psychic, he should have seen it commin`

[fnaas]

@Tvjunkieful12 (Forts.)

Hmm, why you've seen it on Swedish television? I mean, it does air in Norwegian TV too, right? 1. I guess so. At first I was just surprised, then I thought it was quite silly. But when it came to “Hoot guys, even hotter guys” part, I bursted into laugh.. xD

[Tvjunkieful12]

@fnaas Norwegian tv run a full presentation of every video, and the credits for artist composer is gone before the intro has barly started. Using the clips from Infør Eurovision I get both the music and the credits at the same time, since far shorter clips of the music vids are used in that show. Besides, I like the concept Christer Bjørckman has put together - of having real artists commenting on the entries and performances. It is a lot more fun than just watching video on top of video.

[Tvjunkieful12]

@fnaas Oooops! Sorry! You are refering to the Glee bit. I thought you meant why I used Svt 1 clips in the video. No, Glee wasn`t a success in Norway. They started showing it on Wednesday nights - the first series - not that many episodes. And since nothing. But Swedish TV 4 had it on in the afternoon last year - saw a couple of eps then. Great writing, mostly good acting and very interesting musical arrangements well icorporated into the story. Nice to hear the new text made you laugh.:)
