[mountaincryptid]

Now that the national final season is over, I want to share the list of my personal winners of each NF grouped by how I feel about the actual results. In each group the songs are listed in alphabetical order (by country).

✅My winner won and I love their song

🇭🇷 Mama ŠČ! by Let 3

🇫🇮 Cha Cha Cha by Käärija

🇱🇻 Aijā by Sudden Lights

🇲🇩 Soarele şi Luna by Pasha Parfeni

🇵🇹 Ai Coração by Mimicat

🇷🇴 D.G.T (Off and On) by Theodor Andrei

They're all somewhere in my Top 10, but 🇵🇹 and 🇷🇴 are still at risk of dropping out of it if any of the 3 songs yet to be released are good enough.

✅My winner won, but I don't care about their song anyway

🇦🇱 Duje by Albina & familja Kelmendi

❌My winner didn't win and, even though I really wanted them to win, I'm still okay* with the actual choice

🇧🇪 ça m'ennuie pas by Chérine

🇨🇿 ghosting by Pam Rabbit

🇪🇪 Venom by OLLIE

🇩🇪 Misfit by Lonely Spring

🇮🇹 Splash by Colapesce and Dimartino

🇳🇴 Love You in a Dream by Elsie Bay

🇷🇸 Novi plan drugi san by Filip Baloš

🇪🇸 Quiero Arder by Agoney/Arcadia by Megara (Benidorm was too good to just pick one)

🇺🇦 Колискова by КRUTЬ

*'okay' may range from 'I love this song now' to 'I barely accepted it won', but I don't want to go into too many details here

❌I wasn't too attached to my winner and the actual winner is decent enough, so whatever

🇮🇸 Ég styð þína braut/Together We Grow by Silja Rós og Kjalar

🇮🇪 Midnight Summer Night by CONNOLLY

🇱🇹 Šauksmas by Gabrielius Vagelis

🇲🇹 Guess What by Eliana Gomez Blanco

🇸🇪 Släpp alla sorger by Nordman

❌I wasn't too attached to my winner, but I'm still mad about the results. Some of the worst possible choices were made.

🇩🇰 Lige her by Søren Torpegaard Lund

🇸🇲 FUOCO E BENZINA by XGIOVE

❌A crime against humanity

🇵🇱 Gladiator by Jann

[white-eyed-girl]

Now that's it's been over for almost a month I am catching up with this year's other Mello songs

When I heard that Loreen, Wiktoria, Mariette and Jon Henrik would all be in it I was ecstatic but I also had flashbacks from 2017 - all 4 of them were there as well and Loreen was actually the only one to NQ so in the end I said fuck that, I am not watching that happen again :" But tables have turned quite a lot lol Mostly because none of the other 3 were at their best I think I was kinda shocked when I heard Wiktoria got her first NQ, but the song didn't amount to much indeed Mariette's song was alright, better than her last one Jon Henrik's song was nice but it also wasn't his best one (why didn't they let him win in 2017, WHY)

Yeah the twins were cute and Air was cool and sleak but it would have been such an anticlimatic choice methinks Omfg Mer av dig SLAPPED, you don't understand, I will listen to this ALL summer asdfghjdfghj

In Mello I have exactly 3 recurring moods, one is Loreen, two is Jon Henrik, and three is stupidly happy-clappy no matter what the song is about (includes Wiktoria, every folk-ish song and a very specific brand of catchy songs in swedish, stuff like Mer av dig, Släpp alla sorger and Om allting skiter sig - literally one of the songs I've listened to the most in 2021 lmao)

if there's nothing left of you and me there's nothing left of me: An Ode to the Amazing Songs We Lost in the Eurovision National Final Season 2023

YouTube Playlist Here

National final season always means that we lose some fantastic songs that won’t ever get to grace to the big ESC stage, but I can memorialize all the other tracks I love here. This list contains the songs that got away, as well as some of the guilty pleasures, and songs I simply enjoy listening to, from the NF season of 2023.

Note that this is my personal taste, so I might be missing something you jive with. Songs are arranged by flow, not in a ranking. Some videos I likely will have to replace with another upload at some point. I went with studio recordings to be consistent (barring the bonus track).

This playlist is in no way meant to put down the actual winners.

SLÄPP ALLA SORGER VI GÅR VIDARE

[eurovision-del]

We’ve had 24 national finals this year – over the past few months I’ve ranked at least the final of every single one, and I’m finishing tonight by looking at the Melodifestivalen finalists!

Smash Into Pieces – Six Feet Under

Loreen – Tattoo

Nordman – Släpp alla sorger

Jon Henrik Fjällgren, Arc North ft. Adam Woods – Where You Are (Sávežan)

Marcus & Martinus – Air

Panetoz – On My Way

Tone Sekelius – Rhythm of my Show

THEOZ – Mer av dig

Mariette – One Day

Maria Sur – Never Give Up

Kiana – Where Did You Go

Paul Rey – Royals

After all the semi-finals I really wasn’t feeling impressed with Melfest this year, but I actually quite like the final in general. Six of my personal DTFs are here, with one (Now I Know) staying in Andra Chansen, and only one (Länge leve livet) failing to make it through a semi. Being Sweden, it’s a given that all these songs are well put together – well produced and very polished.

Two songs in particular stand out to me from this line-up. The first is unsurprisingly the rock track Six Feet Under, which I was very excited by when I heard it! If there’s a rock track at Melfest there’s a solid chance it will be my favourite entry. The stuff that makes it here is generally rather formulaic, never anything experimental, but it’s always decent quality. I found the chorus of Six Feet Under very memorable, and the singer has a fantastic rock vocal – I loved when he belted that top note at the start of the final chorus! I also really enjoyed the cyberpunk aesthetic of the staging.

Then there’s Tattoo. I first want to say that I love how this was staged, it was easily the most exciting and interesting performance to watch. I do also really enjoy it as a song. It’s a catchy piece of dance pop, very well produced even by Sweden’s standards, impactful yet accessible with it’s familiar sounding beat. Loreen elevates it further live, with her powerful, distinct voice, and artistic performance. I don’t enjoy it as much as I love Statements, but it’s a very good entry nonetheless.

Tattoo should win easily tomorrow, it stands head and shoulders above anything else in the contest. I struggle with this one a little, however, because I think if I heard this from someone other than Loreen I’d definitely consider it a notably good pop song, but wouldn’t see it as a potential winner. However, it’s also very hard to separate her from it – her calibre as an artist is undeniable. I don’t know if this is winning Eurovision, but I think it’s fair to consider it. Of course, until tomorrow we don’t know for certain that she’s going, I’d be very intrigued if someone else did manage to beat her and get the ticket to Liverpool instead, but it’s a conversation I expect we’re going to be having for the next couple of months.

Alla fick inte plats så jag tog bort Mariette och Paul Rey för de var de absolut värsta enligt åsikterna jag sett i #

[knappharvel]

Just nu hatar jag svtplay, för jag vill lyssna på Släpp alla sorger om och om igen och för det är man tvungen att spola tillbaka videon varje minut
