Hmm.
Just watching the 2nd tv show of 4, here in Sweden. Each program contains 7 songs. 10 songs will go the National final in March.
So far no song I believe will have a chance or made me want to hear it again. But it can change.
Has this circus started in England yet?
📺 🎶

Just saw Ewa (78 years) & Eva (71 years) with "Rena Rama Ding Dong", and it reminded me of Teach In's "Ding-A-Dong" from 1975, one of the best ever ...

Was one of the most entertaining evenings and threads of the year on here a few years ago, dire but compelling viewing ! For any rock fans that may remember him, Mike Tramp from White Lion is one of the potentials for Denmark this year and he can bloody Sing

Nope think we have a 3 year deal with a company that sees us nominate 1 song or they find a song and artists like last year's song breath that was absolutely awful

They performed "Boom boom" in Paris in 1978.

On Saturday we'll know if my favourite Klara Hammarström is the national winner at the swedish competition and sent to the final.
Took a listen on some national winners 2021 and it seems France by Voilà have tried to do a classic, in line with Non, je ne regrette rien and La Mer. Quite interesting.

Herreys consisted of 3 brothers and made 6 albums or so. They were active mostly during the 80ies. Now and then they still perform Diggiloo Diggiley, their only real hit. Per Herrey, the oldest, nowadays works as a jurist at the Swedish Musician Association. Richard Herrey is a full time musical artist. Louis Herrey, the youngest, is a teacher at the Mormon Church.

i remember Plastic Bertand in Eurovision. Don't think he did very well, poor old Plastic was destined to be a one hit wonder.
The Herreys were described as the Swedish Osmonds but they looked more Village of the Damned. I usually just watch the voting as you can guarantee which country will vote for who. Cyprus will have 0 points after 12 rounds but will get12 from Malta, Spain/Portugal etc

A guy called Tusse won in Sweden just now, with the song "Voices". One of the best songs here so I have no objection.

My favourites this year 2021 are definitely:
SWEDEN "Voices" and FRANCE "Voilà".
Germany and Iceland had nice songs as well. England got a good production.
I dislike very much Ukraine and Cyprus.
Some songs might grow, when you hear them again. Let's see what happens. Spectacle.
Semi Final 1 later today May 18th. Semi 2 goes on Thursday May 20ieth. The Final is on Saturday May 22nd. 😴

But why are there 26 songs in the Final then? There are always 5 countries who pay some money to go directly to the Final. A bit absurd actually. Think if teams did that in football to reach the play offs. The five countries are France, Italy, Spain, England and Germany. Obviously in the final are also the hosts The Netherlands.

I guess it kind of makes sense. Can people vote on line or is it a panel?

The UK is without doubt a powerhouse of creativity in popular music... there’s been plenty of threads on this site covering excellence in a whole host of genres many of which originated in this country.
You’d have no idea of that in the alternative world that is the UK in Eurovision.
The best thing we could do is try a different approach and enter one of the upcoming artists who aren’t producing material for the competition but just doing their own shit.
For example... this would be a brilliant entry...
