Members Huntress Posted November 9, 2013 Author Members Share Posted November 9, 2013 Since it's still off-season – the first songs for 2014 will be selected in December –, I was listening to some favorites of mine that did not win their national finals in previous years and therefore didn't go to Eurovision. I must admit that I usually only follow the national pre-selections in the Nordic and Baltic countries. Exceptions have of course occurred. Adelén - Bombo Norway 2013 – 2nd place in the national pre-selection – it's pure trash but so much fun http://youtu.be/VF9PJVoZbvc Nora Foss-Al Jabri - Somewhere Beautiful Norway 2012 - 3rd place in the national pre-selection http://youtu.be/qTYsvQALckE Zlata Ognevich - The Kukushka Ukraine 2011 - among the 3 finalists - Zlata represented Ukraine in 2013 and finished 3rd http://youtu.be/Nd_N6VsdIuQ Esma & Lozano - Imperija Macedonia 2013 - the song was replaced before the contest http://youtu.be/ofB4nvQvZPI Lauris Reiniks - Banjo Laura Latvia 2011 - 2nd place in the national pre-selection http://youtu.be/2Hjz5n0H9l8 The list could probably go on forever...

Members alphanguy74 Posted January 15, 2014 Members Share Posted January 15, 2014 I admit.. I find "Tick Tock" quite catchy. I'll be anxious to see the rest of the entries. That girl can really sing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members I Am A Swede Posted January 25, 2014 Members Share Posted January 25, 2014 Our national selection will begin next Saturday with the first of four qualification heats, eventually leading up to a big final on March 8th. The biggest name competing this year is undoubtedly Elena Paparizou, who won the Eurovision Song Contest for Greece in 2005, and also represented Greece in 2001. This time she will try her luck here in Sweden. She was born here, but her parents are from Greece. Other well-known names are Martin Stenmarck, who represented Sweden in the ESC 2005, and Alcazar, making their 5th attempt in the Swedish selection.

Members Huntress Posted February 2, 2014 Author Members Share Posted February 2, 2014 Poor Elena Paparizou only went to MF's Andra Chansen – who would have thought.

Members I Am A Swede Posted February 25, 2014 Members Share Posted February 25, 2014 The quality has been unbelievably bad here this year. I did like Helena Paparizou's song, and Alcazar's (even though it wasn't as good as "Stay the night" from 2009). But I will be very surprised if Sanna Nielsen doesn't win this year with this song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oe3ybnC312c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Huntress Posted March 1, 2014 Author Members Share Posted March 1, 2014 I hope Sweden sends either Sanna or Alcazar. I think Germany will either send Unheilig or Santiano... the other 6 participants of the national final – Oceana, The Baseballs, Elaiza, MarieMarie and Das gezeichnete Ich – only have an outside chance to win.
