/0 Comments/in , , /by

Melodifestivalen 2022, your favourite Swedish national selection process, has left the Avicii Arena and from this week and on moves to Friends Arena, in Stockholm, for the rest of the three shows.

A while ago, SVT, the Swedish national broadcaster released the lyrics of all seven competing songs, of the fourth semi-final, the last bunch of songs that will be competing this year, in the hopes of representing Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest in Turin.

You can read the lyrics of the fourth semi-final songs below:

  • Anna Bergendahl – Higher Power (Writers: Anna Bergendahl, Thomas G:son, Bobby Ljunggren, Erik Bernholm )

I was alone

I was a starving eremite without a home

And the sand in the hourglass pouring on

A howling wolf without a pack

Little did I know

There was a seed

And with some water and attention it would lead

Into a leaf turning into a tree

Roots spreading through the darkest woods

Little did I know

I didn’t know

I see a higher power rise

A spirit larger than life

Cutting right through the fire

Turning the wind

Right before my eyes

I see a higher power rise

A spirit larger than life

Digging right through the dirt

Releasing the dam

And so, I arise

On my own

Kept walking through the wilderness ’til I had grown

Into a thousand-year-old oak, give me a throne

And I’ll wear the crown of thorns

Little did I know

I didn’t know

I see a higher power rise

A spirit larger than life

Cutting right through the fire

Turning the wind

Right before my eyes

I see a higher power rise

A spirit larger than life

Digging right through the dirt

Releasing the dam

And so, I arise

And so, I arise

Oh, I didn’t know

And so, I arise

Oh, I didn’t know

I see a higher power rise

A spirit larger than life

Cutting right through the fire

Turning the wind

Right before my eyes

I see a higher power rise

A spirit larger than life

Digging right through the dirt

Releasing the dam

And so, I arise

And so, I arise

 

  • Lillasyster – Till Our Days Are Over (Writers: Jimmy Jansson, Palle Hammarlund, Ian-Paolo Lira, Martin Westerstrand )

If I were a hero for one day

Maybe I’d walk another way

Fighting against the odds and break

Thru the bricks in the wall

Cause I wanna take you home

Been loosing ourselves too long

Somebody prove me wrong

I won’t let go

I’m right here with open arms

Nothing can break my iron heart

I would climb any mountain

I would fight any fire

Scream loud, breaking the silence now

Till our days are over

I would climb any mountain

Stand tall, big as a giant

I would find a way somehow

Till our days are over

If I were a hero for one day

I wouldn’t be scared and run away

Open the streets and raise the gates

I would break thru it all

And I’m gonna take you home

Been loosing ourselves too long

Somebody prove me wrong

I would climb any mountain

I would fight any fire

Scream loud, breaking the silence now

Till our days are over

I would climb any mountain

Stand tall, big as a giant

I would find a way somehow

Till our days are over

I’ll never fail you

Be right beside you

I’ll never walk away

I would climb any mountain

Stand tall, big as a giant

I would find a way somehow

Till our days are over

I would climb any mountain

I would fight any fire

Scream loud, breaking the silence now

Till our days are over

Till our days are over

Till our days are over

I’ll be breaking the silence now

Till our days are over

 

  • Malin Christin  – Synd om dig (Writers:  Jonathan Lavotha, Oliver Heinänen, Malin Christin )

Jag kommer aldrig få ett förlåt

För varje gång jag fällt en tår

Jag kommer aldrig nånsin be dig

För jag tror inte att du förstår

Tror inte du förmår

Och din skugga, den kommer förfölja dig

Aldrig nånsin försvinna, bara dölja sig

Så det är inte synd om mig, nej för det är synd om dig

Det är inte synd om mig, nej för det är synd om dig

För du saknar empati

kan inte känna som vi

du har ett tomrum inuti

Det är inte synd om mig, nej för det är synd om dig

Har velat såra dig så hårt

Men dom sa: sjunk inte ner till hans nivå

Men du är mil långt under marken

Och aldrig kommer jag ifatt dig

Inte ens om tusen år

Och din skugga, den kommer att släppa mig

Men för alltid så kommer den följa dig

Så det är inte synd om mig, nej för det är synd om dig

Det är inte synd om mig, nej för det är synd om dig

För du saknar empati

kan inte känna som vi

du har ett tomrum inuti

Det är inte synd om mig, nej för det är synd om dig

Det är inte synd om mig

Det är inte synd om mig

Det är inte synd om mig

Ja, det är synd om dig

Jag kommer aldrig få ett förlåt

Men det är jag som står rakryggad ändå

 

  • Tenori – La Stella (Writers: Dan Sundquist, Kristian Lagerström, Marcos Ubeda, Bobby Ljunggren, Sarah Börjesson Wassberg )

Per te la mia stella splenderà

La speranza vincerà

Stuck in the dark

I was a shell of myself

All of my dreams in a blur

In a room full of doubt

The sound was gone

Then I looked to the sky

I knew

I could see the end of the road

Letting me out

Per te la mia stella splenderà

La speranza vincerà

Già il sogno vive più che mai

Lo seguirò

Per sempre volerò

Con te nel cielo blu

Now that I know

How can I turn away

If there’s a way to resist

It´s a will-o´-the-wisp

I was played for a fool

But they won’t trick me twice

Since you made my dreams come alive

Letting me out

Per te la mia stella splenderà

La speranza vincerà

Già il sogno vive più che mai

Lo seguirò

Per sempre volerò

Con te nel cielo blu

I hit the ground

With all that doubt

But you were there

And taught my dreams to fly high

Per te la mia stella splenderà

La speranza vincerà

Già il sogno vive più che mai

Lo seguirò

Per sempre volerò

Con te nel cielo blu

We rise like a dream

My life is in your hands

La stella sarà

con te

 

  • MEDINA – In i dimman (Writers: Jimmy “Joker” Thörnfeldt, Sami Rekik, Dino Medanhodzic, Ali Jammali )

Min kära lille

Har du gått vilse

För denna vägen leder inte någonstans

Mamma sa till mig

Gör guld av silver

Sen lever vi som inte morgondagen fanns

Nu ska vi dansa tills vi dör

Sjunga för allt som vi förstört

La bella noche

När vi når botten

Så ska vi resa oss igen

In i dimman dimman ja nu ska vi leva

Vi ska leva som ej morgondagen finns

Nu ska hela världen äntligen få veta

Att vi ska hela hela hela vägen in

La dolce vita

Så många tårar

Som jag sparat under stjärnorna i natt

Och mamma sa till mig

Det kommer ordna sig

Så länge du lever som inte morgondagen fanns

Nu ska vi dansa tills vi dör

Sjunga för allt som vi förstört

La bella noche

När vi når botten

Så ska vi resa oss igen

In i dimman dimman ja nu ska vi leva

Vi ska leva som ej morgondagen finns

Nu ska hela världen äntligen få veta

Att vi ska hela hela hela vägen in

Nu ska vi dansa tills vi dör

Sjunga för allt som vi förstört

La bella noche

När vi når botten

Så ska vi resa oss igen

In i dimman dimman ja nu ska vi leva

Vi ska leva som ej morgondagen finns

Nu ska hela världen äntligen få veta

Att vi ska hela hela hela vägen in

Oh oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh

Att vi ska hela hela hela vägen in

  • Angelino  – The End (Writers: Angelino Markenhorn, Julie Aagaard, Melanie Wehbe, Thomas Stengaard )

Oh

Oh

This could be the end

You could drop a pin

Suffocating silence

We’ve been here before

I’m outside the door

You’re in the bathroom crying

You say that

I’m so unaffected

I act so cool

and so collected

Oh

Hear me out

Before you go

I need you to know

You’ve got your doubts

I got my own

But trust me I am

Not that unaffected

You’re mistaken

If this is it

You need to know

My heart’s stuck on you

Lying skin to skin

Do you feel a thing

Tell me what you’re thinking

Cause I don’t understand

What’s your exit plan

Cause I’m hurting within

You say that

I’m so unaffected

I’m not that cool

and so collected

Oh

Hear me out

Before you go

I need you to know

You’ve got your doubts

I got my own

But trust me I am

Not that unaffected

You’re mistaken

If this is it

You need to know

My heart’s stuck on

You

You

If it’s the end

I need to know

You

So hear me out

Before you go

I need you to know

You’ve got your doubts

I got my own

But trust me I am

Not that unaffected

You’re mistaken

If this is it

You need to know

My heart’s stuck on

You

 

  • Klara Hammarström – Run To The Hills (Writers: Jimmy “Joker” Thörnfeldt, Julie Aagaard, Anderz Wrethov, Klara Hammarström)

They say I

Been running from myself

But they don’t understand

Coz the pain of you

Is in my every cell

And it’s pumping through my veins

And I feel it through my body like fire tonight

And it pulls me in

I’m howling at the moonlight

And I

Run—to the hills

I’m making it on my own

I’m facing my demons, here I go

I’m running, I’m running alone

To the hills

Where the brokenhearted go

I’m running to save my haunted soul

Run to the hills

Run—to the hills

I’m making it on my own

I’m facing my demons, here I go

Run to the hills

They say you

Won’t flee a broken heart

The nights move in on you

But they have never

Raced under the stars

The flight will see me through

And I feel it through my body like fire tonight

And it pulls me in

I’m howling at the moonlight

And I

Run—to the hills

I’m making it on my own

I’m facing my demons, here I go

I’m running, I’m running alone

To the hills

Where the brokenhearted go

I’m running to save my haunted soul

I run to the hills

Run—to the hills

I’m making it on my own

I’m facing my demons, here I go

I’m running, I’m running alone

To the hills

Where the brokenhearted go

I’m running to save my haunted soul

Run to the hills

And it pulls me in

I’m howling at the moonlight

And I

Run—to the hills

I’m making it on my own

I’m facing my demons here I go

I’m running, I’m running alone

To the hills

Where the brokenhearted go

I’m running to save my haunted soul

I run to the hills

Run—to the hills

I’m making it on my own

I’m facing my demons here I go

I’m running, I’m running alone

To the hills

Where the brokenhearted go

I’m running to save my haunted soul

Run to the hills

Bulgaria: Intelligent Music Project give an exclusive interview to Eurovisionfun!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

This year, Intelligent Music Project will represent Bulgaria, with their song “Intention“. Eurovisionfun, after the kind and honourable invitation of the band, was in Sofia a few days ago, for the first live performance of the song with which they will represent Bulgaria in Turin.

Who are Intelligent Music Project?

Intelligent Music Project is a ‘supergroup’, consisting of local and international stars, which was formed in 2011 by Dr. Milen Vrabevski, an important figure in the Bulgarian industry. Dr. Vrabevski is known for his charity and business activities. He is the producer, composer and lyricist of the band!

With a combination of melancholic, but also hard rock sound and thoughtful lyrics containing topical messages, especially for the youth, the songs of Intelligent Music Project always make a sensation.

Throughout the years of the band’s existence, some of the biggest names in the world rock music scene have contributed to Intelligent Music Project. With its current line-up, the band’s main vocalist is Ronnie Romero, Bisser Ivanov, Slavin Slavchev (winner of Bulgaria’s X-Factor), Ivo Stefanov, Dimiter Sirakov and drummer Stoyan Yankoulov, who represented Bulgaria in 2007 and 2013 with Elitsa.

The interview

Shortly before their live performance at Sofia Live Club, Intelligent Music Project spoke to us exclusively, about how they were selected by the Bulgarian Public Television, Intention, their plans for Turin etc.

Thank you very much for the invitation. Can you tell us some information about Intelligent Music Project? How was it created?

Dr. Vrabevski created the band. We have released several albums and have toured several countries in the last three years. Our creator and producer has found the best musicians, who now make up Intelligent Music Project. We have musicians from Bulgaria, but also from other parts of the world, like Ronnie Romero. We try to always be full of energy in everything we do. That’s how Eurovision came about, we are very grateful for that.

In a word, what is the formula for success after so many years?

The message!

Let’s go now to the Eurovision contest. You were the first artists to be announced for the next contest, as well as your song. Do you think this is positive or negative for your luck in Turin?

We are not the ones who wait to see what others will do so that we can do the same. We were ready because we had our new album ready. We don’t follow the paths that other people take, we make our own path. Even if we waited to announce our song for later it wouldn’t change anything. It would be the same song, since we had already recorded our new album.

How did you get selected by the Bulgarian public television?

There was an internal process, where different artists submitted their proposals. Intention was considered the best choice.

(Addressing Stoyan) This will be your third entry, do you feel it will be somewhat different this time?

Eurovision changes every year! It’s a traditional competition that keeps changing its form. New songs, new trends, new lights, technology etc. So that means it will be basically my first time!

Anyway, you owe us 12 points from 2007!

I remember! (Laughs)

So Ronnie, what is the message of Intention?

Intention sends an important message. Because of the difficult times we experienced during the pandemic, people want to feel optimistic that a change for the better will come, but in order for that to happen they have to have the Intention to change things.

We are from Greece, a country where we know that you have a lot of fans who follow you and you have given several concerts. Do you expect support from the Greek audience in the Eurovision contest?

We expect support from all countries. For us it’s a great opportunity to promote our music on such a big stage like Eurovision. We will do on the Torino stage what we know and love the most.

Have you seen other Eurovision 2022 participants?

We have seen some. The Italian representatives are very good. It will be a great competition!

Since we are in Italy. Would you participate in this year’s Eurovision contest if a rock band, Måneskin, didn’t win last year? Did they somehow pave the way for you?

We’ve been playing rock music a lot longer than Måneskin. That wasn’t the motivation for us. Our motivation is the opportunity that Eurovision gives us to connect with so many people and have them see our work.

What are your plans for promotion between now and May?

We’ll be doing some concerts between now and then. Thessaloniki, Brussels, Paris, Turin! We want fans of the competition to see Intelligent Music Project perform Intention live. That’s our strong point. We have a lot of work to do with rehearsals, choreography!

What would you like to say to the contest fans?

Good luck to the Greek participant! We love Greeks because we have many good friends. Greece always votes for Bulgaria and Bulgaria votes for Greece, so we hope that this year will be the same.

Thank you very much!

We thank you, we hope you enjoy the competition!

Finland: Interview with Olivera | Life after death and the participation in UMK 2022 ! (Video)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

After being selected to compete in this year’s Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu 2022, Finland’s National Final, Olivera speaks exclusively to EurovisionFun and Apostolos Bogiannos and Apostolis Matamis.

Olivera is among the seven finalists of the national final of Finland for Eurovision 2022 and she will try to represent her country with the song “Thank God I’m an Atheist“.

I always considered competing in UMK but with the appropriate song. And now this showed up  and I think I have to pass a deep message.  As a person that is not so religious, I believe that we can’t know if there is afterlife. No one can answer this question with certainty. I doesn’t matter where everyone believes in, the only thing that matters is having a important life, that no one guarantees will last forever. We must look today, at the people we have close to us and do whatever pleases us, express our love and be good people. I wrote “Thank God I’m an Atheist” wanting to pass this message to the world and especially those who make this kind of thought about life. I didn’t submitted to UMK from the start. My win in the national final would be amazing but what matters the most for me is to manage to make the world express through this.

Asked about her staging of the song in the national final Olivera said:

There is nothing too big or too small. The staging will be based on the story of the song without having something that will distracting from the message I want to pass. I think it will be very beautiful.

Even though she likes every song in UMK 2022, the ones that stand out for her are those of Tommi Läntinen, Cyan Kicks and Isaac Sene.

Her favorite Finish entries are those of Vicky Rosti & Boulevard (1987) and Paradise Oskar (2011) while from the contest in general the entry that stands out for her is Loreen (Sweden 2012).

If she could pick a Eurostar to collaborate that would be Måneskin.

Sometime before the end of the interview, Olivera offered us a part of her song acapella

Pala Alpitour will have 65% capacity for Eurovision 2022!

/0 Comments/in , /by

One of the biggest questions regarding the conduct of Eurovision 2022, seems to have found an answer. As revealed by the website Torino Oggi, this year’s competition will take place with 65% capacity at Pala Alpitour.

The delay in announcements is due, according to the publication, to the current state of the pandemic. The easing of restrictions imposed by the Italian government since March allows us to have a clearer picture of the organizers’ plans for the 66th Eurovision Song Contest.

Thus, this year’s competition will take place with 65% of the available capacity of Pala Alpitour available to the public. Nevertheless, this percentage can change either upwards or downwards, always depending on the evolution of the pandemic.

Of course, the goal of the Italian organizers is for the capacity to reach 100%, but in the meantime it will be possible to start the pre-sale of part or all of the tickets for 65% of the arena.

So far, there is no official date for the release of tickets, but sources close to Eurofestivalnews say that the announcement will be made by the end of February or maximum by the first ten days of March.

Norway: Subwoolfer identity revealed ?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Last Saturday night, Subwoolfer won the Melodi Grand Prix final. Therefore, Norway will be represented by a masked and currently unidentified duo of artists in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 in Turin.

So far, neither the artists themselves, nor NRK, nor the record company, Universal, have revealed when the masks will finally fall and we will find out the identity of the duo.

However, the VG newspaper revealed that two artists who are rumored to be hiding behind the Subwoolfer are filming with Subwoolfer at the H3 Arena in Bærum, where the final took place on Saturday.

According to NRK, the recording is a back-up of the Eurovision performance, in case there are problems due to the pandemic or other prohibitive conditions in Turin.

In the parking lot outside the H3 Arena was a Volkswagen Up! registered with the Norwegian Public Administration in the name of Gaute Ormåsen (38). The artist participated in Idol in 2003, where he finished second.

There is also a Porsche, which is registered to the British Ben Adams (40), who was part of the boyband A1 in the late 90s. Adams has been living in Norway lately.

For the time being, both artists refused to comment.

A1 participated in Melodi Grand Prix 2010 and finished in the second place.

Ormåsen also participated in the Melodi Grand Prix in 2010, as well as in 2013.

We remind you that Norway has been drawn to compete in the First Semifinal on May 10. Specifically, they will appear in one of the positions 10-18.

Israel: Marvin Dietmann will be the stage director!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Even though there are rumours the past hours regarding Michael’s withdrawal from Eurovision 2022, KAN, the Israeli Broadcasting Company, announced that Martin Dietmann will take care of the stage performance of I.M in Turin.

Martin is already well-known to the Eurovision fandom. The austrian director was the person behind Conchita Wurst’s performance back in 2014 and many more entries of the country. He was, also, the staging director of 7 countries last year, including Cyprus with the song El Diablo. It is worth mentioning, that, except Israel, it is announced that he will also stage the performance of Cyprus in 2022!

Through a post in Facebook, KAN announced the news stating the following:

”Martin Dietmann will stage the Israeli entry of Eurovision 2022!

The Israeli delegation announced today that the international art director will stage the show of Michael Ben David in Turin.

Dietmann is a successful director with extensive experience in the competition. In his big career you will find a sequence of years that he was art director or participated in various other roles or with other countries. Among others, Dietmann puts his signature on the winning performance of Conchita back in 2014.

His involvement in the entry of Israel in Eurovision 2022 is justified with his huge experience in Eurovision, which stands for itself, and the wish to reach to a professional result on stage.”

Israel will perform on the first half of the second semifinal with Michael Ben David performing the song I.M, wishing to continue the qualification streak the country has since 2015.

Netherlands: S10 to premiere her entry on 3rd March?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Shownieuws reports that the Dutch entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 in Turin, Italy will be revealed on March 3.

RTL’s Shownieuws reported that the song that S10 will represent the Netherlands with at Eurovision will be revealed on March 3. AVROTROS has yet to confirm the date that the Netherlands will reveal their entry for the 66th Eurovision Song Contest.

The date reported by Shownieuws ties in with previous Dutch song reveals which have traditionally taken place during the first week of March. S10’s entry for Eurovision 2022 will be in Dutch, this will be the first time that the Netherlands will send a Dutch-language entry since 2010, when Sieneke performed Ik ben verliefd (Sha-la-lie).

Little information on the Dutch entry for Turin has been revealed so far. Back in December, the broadcaster announced that S10 would be representing the Netherlands. S10, stage name of Stien den Hollander, is a rising star in the alternative scene of the country. Her music discusses personal and difficult topics, such as her own struggle with mental health. All we know about her song for Turin so far is that she will be singing in Dutch.

A commission consisting of Dutch television commentators Jan Smit and Cornald Maas as well as radio-DJs Coen Swijnenberg and Sander Lantinga chose the Dutch entry for Eurovision 2022. Similarly to 2019, when The Netherlands’ winning entry was chosen, the group is more focused on the song itself, rather than the artist.

Last year, the Netherlands hosted the Competition in Rotterdam. The country was represented by Jeangu Macrooy with the Birth of a New Age taking the 23rd place.

Denmark: Interview with Confessions | Hallelujah and the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2022! (Video)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Following their decision to participate in this year’s Danish national final, Dansk Melodi Grand Prix , Confessions speaks exclusively to EurovisionFun and Apostolos Bogianno and Apostolis Matami.

The Confessions are among the eight finalists in the Danish national final for Eurovision 2022, and will try to represent their country with the song “Hallelujah”.

We have been working hard for our appearance for the last few days and we are really very excited. “Hallelujah” refers to how grateful we are for someone in our lives when we go through a difficult period where we feel alone, something we have all experienced over the years. When you are out of the way and you need someone to talk to and finally find joy in your life again. Although the song was not written for the competition from the beginning, we later realized that it would be a perfect choice for the DMGP and consequently for Eurovision.

Regarding his stage presentation of the song in the national final, they themselves state that:

We can not say much yet. It will be a party. We want to become one with the audience, however in the presentation there is a surprise that for the time being will remain secret.

Although they like all the songs from DMGP 2022, this one by Fuld Effekt stands out.

Their favorite Danish participations are those of Emmelie de Forest (2013) and Olsen Brothers (2000) while from the competition in general they single out the participation of Loreen (Sweden 2012) which they would choose in case they made a collaboration with a Eurostar.

Inspired by many artists such as Ariana Grande and Bruno Mars, they consider it an honor to be able to raise the Danish flag in Turin.

Shortly before the end of the interview, Confessions gave us a part of their participation head on.

Watch the full Confessions exclusive interview in the video below:
