Schlager-birds


Metro magazine has released a gorgeous series of schlager-birds as advertising of their melosite. I don't have idea if it's scans right from magazine's issue but these pics looks like a pieces of schlager-art!
I hope you've recognized all very important birds of Melodifestivalen world, haven't you?

I recognise them!

1) Carola
2) Eric Saade
3) Kikki Danielsson
4) Alexander Bard
5) Lena Philipsson
6) Roger Pontare

I love the artwork and the campaign idea itself is pretty cool. There are even TV ads with these birds.

It's more complicated about Eric. Have you noticed "birdeen" in "Who's the birdeen of the year"? ;)

wake up Damian, the news are here!

Damian said...

I never sleep. What sort of news?

on Schlaegerprofilerna, about Danny and Charlotte having the most expensive shows in ESC 2012.

Damian said...

Thanks but that's what I told you about Charlotte yesterday :) That Danny prepares some great show was rumored quite long.

Now it was confirmed. But what I don't understand is: she said she is not aiming for Baku, but she invests so much money in it. The dress and now the show. For what??? And I think I'm gonna really like The Girl, after hearing the whole song!

Damian said...

She's a schlager-artist and she needs very impressive Melodifestivalen comeback to warm up career for another 3-4 years. And when Charlotte's in da house she can't do anything that will look cheap. She's a perfectionist.

Have you've heard Danny's crap? That guy from Schlagerprofilerna annoys me with....Dannyyyy and his pooor song. What do you think?

Damian said...

Danny has really strong song and now it absolutely stands between him and Loreen in the final. Any other candidate seems impossible.

Are you gay tooo? Strong, not at all, it sounds much like Inna. ANyway, between him and Loreen, I want her. Last year your Alex came 16 with a better song, if Danny goes to Baku(which I don't think) he will be on 20 th position!

Damian said...

If only gays can accept that Danny's song is one of two best songs of this year's competition then probably.
There are no stronger options. Or you've found any?

The problem is that the sooong is so poor. Anyway, is not our problem. The swedes will decide. But Charlotte for me is the winner of this semifinal whatever happens on Saturday night!

Damian said...

You just don't like modern dance songs and it doesn't make them less perspective for Eurovision :)
But still you haven't answered. If you think Danny and Loreen are wrong to send to Baku, who can be right?

Damian, the problem is that these modern music is justtt tooo pooor for Eurovision. Last year Russia, Hungary and Croatia were outside top 15...and all had modern music. It seems that Europe doesn't like that kind of music in Eurovision. And on the other hand, Loreen's song contains more recorded track than live vocals. No human voice can belt out those notes, not even Loreen. In this case Charlotte stands out, even though she won't win. She doesn't even want too, so why bother. Dead by April I think is the wisest choice! Is quite strong even with live vocals! Anyway, on the forums everyone wants Loreen, people are disappointed about Danny's song. In Globen we will also have a jury, we will see what that is going to say!

Damian said...

Hungary and Croatia were modern music like 15 years ago :)
Russia had not the best example of RedOne's stuff, it was modern but doesn't have anything common with both Amazing and Euphoria.
Loreen has 4 spots for backing singers in Baku and stil she can belt it out, you should just check her live performances on youtube. I can't say anything about Dead By April, rock can do really well at ESC and can stay in semifinals. But do you say Charlotte can be a better option than Danny and Loreen after she was just 12th in semifinal by televoting with Hero that was like 100 times stronger?

Here you are mistaken. Charlotte came 12 in semifinal because she was very skinny and had a really bad makeup, she looked like an alien. That's why people did vote for her. But Hero is great and no one denies that and "The Girl" is awesome too:D. I checked Lorren long time ago, I like "Sober". There are many contenders for victory this year, but I don't think that Danny will be the winner!

Damian said...

We can blame "Hero"'s bad result on Charlotte's bad look but the truth is that all schlager-divas flops every last year - Hera Bjork, Katy Wolf, Dana International. And if we like it or not, it's between Loreen and Danny. Only semifinal winners win the final but I don't believe David and Molly will do it.
