Eurovision 2012: Sweden

[passionpop]

Performer: Loreen
Song: Euphoria

This song is the favourite to win at the present time. I will admit that the contemporary dance routine associated with the song is interesting, but it is not the highly polished look or vocal sound I expected from Sweden. It was two months of preparation for the routine though ans she has two months (from when she won) to come up with another routine for Eurovision. 

The last two Eurovision winners didn't hugely impress me, and as a song, neither does this. It is just a former Idol contestant with a slick dance routine. and by 'slick' I mean she managed to slide in what looked like a hammer dance in and made it looks almost appropriate. when the dance partner came in near the end, I didn't get the combative action in the dance, but I am here for the alcohol, not the dance. 

The only way you could tell this was Sweden was the bloody wind machine. I think there should be a drinking game rule that if Sweden DOESN'T use a wind machine, you have to skull all the remaining alcohol. This will never happen so livers around the world are fairly safe.

Songs that are big before the event often don't go far. Gina G was a favourite in 1996 and came eighth and in 1977, despite having the crowd behind them, Sweden came last with 'Beatles'. Check out the second guys guitar though

yeah I was wrong again. 2009 was the only year i was right and i picked first and second that year.

i want to see the jury/audience split. i heard a rumour that the jury didnt put sweden in the top 5 for the semi, but seeing they were first in their semi, i think that was bs

so sweden next year. should be an awesome event. the Scandinavian countries know how to do eurovision. the first semi will be on the 14th of may
