Melfest 00-09 Runners-up SURVIVOR

[VoRonika]

MOVE OVER BRITNEY

For many, this decade was the imperial era of Melfest, but for some reason the winning songs tanked more often than they hit. Would the silver-placers have done better?

VOTE OUT your LEAST FAVOURITE:

Barbados - Se Mig (2000=)



Friends - När jag tänker på imorgon (2000=)



Barbados - Allt som jag ser (2001)



Mendez - Adrenaline (2002)



Pernilla Wahlgren & Jan Johansen - Let Your Spirit Fly (2003)



Shirley Clamp - Min kärlek (2004)



Nanne Grönvall - Håll om mig (2005)

 

[VoRonika]

BWO - Temple of Love (2006)



Andreas Johnson - A Little Bit of Love (2007)



Sanna Nielsen - Empty Room (2008)



Caroline af Ugglas - Snälla, Snälla (2009)

 

[VoRonika]

The Friends clip redefines POTATO QUALITY so in the interest of fairness here’s the studio version

 

[Penelope Will Rave]

OMG

Well it HAS to be Mendez out first from this lot, clearly

 

[VoRonika]

I accept it would've done better than The Worrying Kind, but I really do hate A Little Bit of Love...

 

[Penelope Will Rave]

Also my god - Mendez aged like a DOG between Adrenaline and Everyday!

MORE WOTES! @RJN this feels like a good INTRO to your Melodifestivalen archive education.

I’m sure you’re right! I’ll listen to the ones I don’t know after work

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Can’t believe I’m the first one to vote for Nanne.

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Oh wait, I didn’t notice it was a survivor thing.

 

[Wir Butter 'ne Tarty]

Well I didn't even know this was happening

I don't think any of these are especially shite so I've gone for the most insipid one.

 

[Penelope Will Rave]

Let Your Spirit Fly INSIPID?! It practically DRIPS WITH EVIL! ()

 

[win_the_game]

Let Your Spirit Fly is a 13/10 CLASSIC.

 

[D1ZZY]

I hope people voting for Adrenaline know they're voting to eliminate the Rongedal brothers too.

 

[Penelope Will Rave]

On the original question, I imagine there's a decent half chance that Adrenaline would've done better than Afro-Dite given WHAT WON in Tallinn - but AT WHAT COST?

 

[Penelope Will Rave]

I hope people voting for Adrenaline know they're voting to eliminate the Rongedal brothers too.

GOOD!

 

[VoRonika]

Oddly, only Empty Room and Snälla, Snälla aren't on UK Spotify...

Oh, and @Kratz too NATURALLY

 

[Apoca]

Ok. This was easy.

@ButterTart I hope you're proud of your choice. GOD (and Carola) will be your judge.

 

[Apoca]

Also, the first person to vote for När Jag Tänker På Imorgon might just get BANNED.

 

[Rim Soldi Tagi Dim]

Ooh ok

 

[Penelope Will Rave]

Ooh ok

Try-hard!

 

[VoRonika]

I always forget just how much I love När jag tänker…

It’s glorious.

 

[Suomi]

I always forget just how much I love När jag tänker…

It’s glorious

I echo the use of glorious. Those trumpets!

För vi har HIMMELEN och HAVET

 

[Penelope Will Rave]

Actually ASTONISHING that Sweden had two 12455/10 moments in the winner and the alternate that year with When Spirits Are Calling My Name and När jag tänker. The likes wouldn't be seen again until I Feed You My Love and Bombo!
