Melodifestivalen 2025 GOSSIP OCH BITCHING thread

Not to preempt VoR's deep dive but I needed to know more about Schlagerz. They appear to be a dansband supergroup, which explains the kind of thrown together look:



Celebrating in style:

 
Maria Blender really is straight out of the Shirley Clamp school of ludicrous Swedish names :D

I thought that too. Sadly I think the band is called Blender and she is the more ordinary Maria Persson.

That's a shame. I was imagining a fantasy supergroup featuring Shirley Clamp, Maria Blender and Pernilla Le Creuset or something.
 


In other news, Wiwibloggs reveals that Dolly Style's entry will be "simple" and "fun". Who would have thought?
 
I'm currently quite TAKEN by the sheer Britney heaven of Could You Be The One?
 
Given that it was a rush job released about 6 months after the …Baby One More Time album, there’s more than a nod to it in places. Almost as if our Vic was given the slops straight from the studio floor. :disco:
 
Just like how they never call cranberry juice cranberry juice, because it's made mostly from shavings and sugar so has to be known as cranberry flavour juice. Hope someone told Vic before she tried to cure that UTI :disco:
 
Artists whose submitted entries for Melodifestivalen have been rejected by SVT, according to Aftonbladet:
  • Måns Möller
  • Fame
  • A trio consisting of David Lindgren, Boris René and Greg Curtis (who have allegedly all also submitted solo entries)
  • Mange Schmidt
  • Robin Bengtsson
  • Brandsta City Släckers
  • A trio consisting of Marcus Schenkenberg, Rafael Edholm and Knut Berggren
  • Theo
  • Bishara

Pleasantly surprised they rejected Bishara, who need never come back, a bit more surprised about Theo (formerly with a z). I also love the idea of the Brandsta City Släckers having tried every year since 2003 :D
 
The Victoria Silvstedt album really is BREATHTAKING 😍


It’s a great record by any measure. Received some criticism at the time as some felt it didn’t live up to its objective as being the Swedish version of Madonna’s “Ray of Light”, but you only have to listen to tracks like “Party Line” to see how unfair that is.

And credit where it’s due, she sings on loads of the tracks.
 
I would have liked a Fame comeback if only for JessAn. I assumed the other one had long since been put out to pasture.

And Bishara? Surely long overdue for a Mongeing.
 
Imagine the SHEER FUCKING AUDACITY to say NO to one of your previous and QUITE SUCCESSFUL winners...

We'd rope the new version of BUCKS FIZZ in in a HEARTBEAT.

They do it to Nanne basically every other year! :basil:

I don't care how old and washed-up she is at this point. SURELY Robin B would've turned up with something better than a TUSSE REJECT à la Angelino.
 
It was already reported that Fame were rejected from the lineup this year. They've just released this G:Son number.



To be honest, it's a bit lacklustre.
 
That's just G:son being lazy. I've heard the older stars have to pay by the hour unless he already has a finished song that happened to become a schlager in passing. Did Magnus try to get in on the cheap?

I doubt this is the song they submitted - they’re probably saving that for another try next year. It’s likely they recorded a few songs and this is one of them

What counts as an ‘older star’?

Asking for a friend :StillYoung:
