Some news:

 

:AZE will be represented by Nadir Rustamli, winner of the latest The Voice of Azerbaijan, his song will be choosen in mid-March.

 

:UKR Alina Pash who won local national final in last Saturday withdrew from the contest over the scandal related to her travel documents and being on Crimea in 2015 via Moscow instead via an Ukrainian city... It's currently unknown who will replace her and if at all Ukraine will be able to compete in this year contest as EBU consider banning them for another political mess after their selections in recent years. 

 

:FRA published all their 12 candidates which will take part in national final which be held on 5th March. Below is recap.

:AUS finally also released all songs which will take part in their national selections.

 

 

Also :SWE Sweden published snippets of their third semifinal songs. So far all songs (including previous two semifinals) are way below Melodifestivalen level. Looks like Sweden want to stay in semifinal second time in history of the contest...

Cornelia? Hold me closer are definitely material to qualify. I think Robin and Liamoo too. Sometimes I think people are just jealous of Sweden and WISH we are not qualify rather than think that. :mumble:

Well, no offense, but it's your opinion and I think that you should agree that in recent years level of Melodifestivalen dropped off too much. 4-5 years ago there was bunch of songs which deserved to be in the Eurovision and could easily compete for other countries and would achieve success as well, but in last two years and especially in this year I don't see any song which deserve to represent Sweden (which is Eurovision powerhouse) alone.

Agree with the level dropped on other side Sweden hasn’t a song as popular as Hold Me Closer since I would say Heroes 2015 or at least Bulletproof 2020.  So in level of top notch songs this year is better since I also prefer Liamoo and Robin ahead of Tusse last year. If Tusse could reach the big final then Hold Me Closer should do that too and I would say same with Liamoo and Robin. But the overall standard have dropped I agree! 

 

Should Hold Me Closer win MelFest 2022 I think we are talking about top 5 for Sweden in Italy.

    • I remember when I was a child and I was on holiday with my parents in Tunisia, I think in 1999? We were on a trip to the desert near the border with Algeria. The guide said something like that: Algeria is a few minutes from here but we won't go there because there is a war going on there and it's not safe.
    • Netanyahu is bad but unfortunately Hamas helps him maintain power. Every attack they make is a reinforcement of Netanyahu's rhetoric about the country's security, etc. In the fall of 2023, Netanyahu was already losing support and then suddenly a big Hamas attack on a festival near the Gaza Strip. Coincidence? It wouldn`t surprise me at all if Netanyahu knew about the plan for this attack but did nothing so that he would then have the tools to maintain his power. I also remember Ariel Sharon - he was probably even more radical than Netanyahu but he had a brain hemorrhage and fell into a coma.
    • Ah yes, post-colonial bickering never gets too old. Let me grab my popcorn!   Netanyahu is on a personal revenge mission to avenge his brother's death for his entire political life and people still act like they're surprised by his actions
    • MId-1962.  Almost all the Jews were driven out in a few days, even though they had been living there since Classical, pre-Muslim times.   Perhaps our friend could give us details of of any current Algerian plans to welcome them back, restore their property, guarantee their safety etc etc?    
    • In what year did Algeria free itself from French influence? 1960, exactly?
    • Or better, perhaps he'd like to tell us what happened to the 140,000 Jews who were living in Algeria in 1960, as against the 200 who live there now? 
    • There are still many people of Jewish origin in Central and Eastern Europe who have nothing to do with the state of Israel. What ties does Zelensky have to the state of Israel? Apart from he waś there as president of Ukraine and speaking in the Knesset? Nothing. In the power circles in Moscow there were/are many people of Jewish origin and what about that? A large part of the power apparatus of the USSR was based on Jews, especially in the years shortly after WWII.   Instead of constantly writing about Jews, would be better to tell me which country Algeria has better diplomatic relations with: Tunisia or Egypt?  
    • Handy guide for the perplexed.  
    • I`m a bit disappointed with the starts of the Italian team. I was counting on progress from last year. And here it looks like Bagnis is still very uneven. In Cortina there will be 3 competitions with medals to win and it would be a shame not to use our track to win 1-2 medals. The same goes for luge.
    • On the other hand Errani's serve doesn't make Paolini's task any easier... But Paolini is in a such good shape here, though, that I hope she wins her first title in the old Fed Cup. For Errani, it will be 4: 2009, 2010, 2013. So far, Roberta Vinci has 4 titles with Italy.
