Melodifestivalen. On my own TV.
Somebody slap me. Eight seconds till Melodifestivalen:
It's Heeeeee-reeee!
No, it wasn't some drug-induced dream or a whacked out signal bouncing off the sun. I paid to get SVT. I'm the proud new owner of a 1 year subscription to SVT World. It's streaming through my Internet connection and it works fantastically well. I've already put it through the wringer since I got it last week and I feel like I've already gotten my money's worth on this first deltävling alone.
I know I'm supposed to only post about Swedish stuff I happen to find, not things I purposely set out to get. That means this post is my first CHEAT. Even though Sweden took over my TV today during MF, it doesn't really count - sadly. But it's fun to see.
Our lovely hosts...
Jessica Andersson pulling out all the MF stops...
One singer, one microphone. Check.
Power ballad. Check.
Dramatic lights. Check.
Emotional performance. Check.
Open-ended lyrics. Check.
Audience waving lights. Check.
A clear winner, people!
The list of competitors and a nice shot of my pizza box just to prove I am in the US with MF on TV:
Yes, the pizza box is nearly as big as my TV. And you thought all Americans had super-sized televisions. Shame on you, you stereotyping Swede you!
And, of course, since no one else is interested in MF but me, I had to find something to complain to when my two favorite picks went to Andra Chansen. I chose this deadly-looking bug sitting on my window. It patiently listened as I jabbered on about the results. I think it's a secret MF fan. It arrived just before showtime and left shortly thereafter.
If this creepy thing is back for deltävling 2, it will only confirm that it is indeed an MF supporter. I hope it does come back because I'm sure I'll have something to complain about after that round is over too.
Happy MF days to everyone watching - wherever you are in the world!
Sweden is on my TV.
