Melodifestivalen 2023 GOSSIP OCH BITCHING THREAD

[Penelope]

LOREEN'S TRACK IS A CAZZI OPEIA COWRITE OMG

 

[babun]

Marcus & Martinus are heat three, no?

Yes, now confirmed they are heat 3 thankfully.

 

[Penelope]

Paul Rey referencing RuPaul in his VT, and having a LIAMOO, Dino Medanhodzic and Jimmy Joker Thornfeldt cowrite, the year after cowriting I Can't Get Enough... if this hot bitch is not at least semi-interesting next year I'm rioting

And he said it was uptempo so…gay rights

 

[Penelope]

I'm ready. I'm ready for Paul Rey's Bluffin'

 

[Suomi]

 

[Apoca]

Opening this stream and the first two people are two NORWEGIAN TEENAGERS?

WHAT IS THIS?

Sounds like Paul Rey finally entered something fun and uptempo? WHERE CAZZI LEADS.

[Penelope]

Emil Horehronie is sending a schlager I think

 

[Apoca]

Victor Croney with a Peter Kvint cowrite is truly offensive. Like, a reductive millenial Andreas Johnsson.

 

[Apoca]

Waiting for the first person on Moopy to say "Well they can SMASH ME INTO PIECES "

 

[Penelope]

The songwriters on that Signe and Hjördis track and the genre being FOLK ETHNOPOP are both really SETTING MY CUNT ALIGHT this morning - we're getting a NEW TIMOTEIJ, GIRLS!

 

[Penelope]

Waiting for the first person on Moopy to say "Well they can SMASH ME INTO PIECES "

2/4 of them TACK!

 

[Penelope]

Second year in a row without Fredrik Kempe. I think he's finally dead/retired/locked up in maximum security prison, girls

 

[Penelope]

Jimmy "Joker" Thornfeldt cowriting a whole SIX out of the 28 entries for the second year in a row

 

[Suomi]

Ida Love could be one to watch

 

[Suomi]

So I guess Loreen took Cazzi’s spot…with Cazzi’s own song

 

[D5K]

I can't stop screaming at Melanie Wehbe and Laurell Barker finally both getting their shot at the main stage and then BOTH BEING PUT IN THE SAME HEAT

I was just thinking that... presumably their songs must sound quite different?

 

[ButterTart]

I’d have objected in the strongest possible terms to Paul OR Axel. Getting both is tantamount to assault.

Alas, Axel IS coming back with a ballad

 

[D5K]

I liked Axel's song the first time around.

 

[ButterTart]

Alas, Axel IS coming back with a ballad

What a disgusting cunt.

 

[Alla]

So Miss P was Paul Rey. Makes sense.

 

[Hak]

Didn't know he did drag.

 

[Kratz]

Paul Rey on all fours pls

 

[VoR]

Paul Rey on all fours pls

If you’re talking about his maximum points from each demographic then I concur.

 

[Kala]

Last year Cornelia opened at 51/1, so get those Laurell bets in now, gays!

51.00 is actually 50/1, but anyways. If you liked Habit you’ll like Sober.

Have you heard the song??

 

[Kala]

Have you heard the song??

PM me, hun

 

[VoR]

According to Swedish press rumours today, the early winning song hype from those who've heard the entries is gathering around... NORDMAN

They said the same about Anders last year. Cornelia wasn't even in the frame.

I dount the international jury will go for a song by two men in their mid 50s with a song in Swedish.

 

[Madíson]

Didn’t Anders do really well?

 

[Kala]

Didn’t Anders do really well?

He did, but that was NOT based on the song.

 

[Penelope]

Well it probably was a bit. I doubt he'd have done that well if he'd turned up with Euro Neuro. I presume the people who heard it early on were plenty aware who he was and hyping it knowing everything in the round that led him to get the vote he did!

 

[Alla]

Unless it was the v*r remix.

 

[Penelope]

I suspect Anders Bagge's love letter to @VoR would have similarly struggled, even if it did get @The Unholy Ghost's PAWS A-SCRABBLIN'

 

[Penelope]

Oh for fucks sake NOT CHRISTMAS NAMES AGAIN
