As you might know, the national ESC in Sweden is a true circus. The rules are really strict and the whole system is so complicated, it´s almost exhausting watching it.
One of the rules is:
No entry that has gone to the Finale (12 March in Globen) are allowed to be "public" = put up on sites e.g. YouTube. If this would happen (which it also does after the entries have competed the first time in the semi contest) the entry in question risks to be disqualified.
However, now that particular rule is no longer in function. The fourth and last semi contest was last night and then there´s - besides the Grand Finale - only the Andra Chansen contest left next Saturday where the final 2 finalists will be chosen.
So, here are the performances of 2 of the finalists - and my two personal faves.
For me, one of these should win the whole Finale and get the represent Sweden in Düsseldorf.
But when have I been right, ey?
Which one of these could you see succeed on the European Eurovision Scene??
I don´t wanna wait one more week, I wanna see what happens next right now!
Thanks to my upcoming trip, it will probably take more than a week before I see the next episode... Oi thanks a lot Stockholm!
Today started out sloooow, like, really in slow motion. Then auntie G called mam and asked if we wanted to join them for a day in Vaasa. So we did! It was fun. I bought a pair of jeans, as I was on the hunt for a pair. Here you can see what they look like. I will wear them to the musical on Friday, I think...
Speaking of the musical. ONE WEEK TO GO!! *wiehoo* I so can´t wait!
I´ve only taken it easy... Vacuumed a bit, taken in a few barrells of wood
(in -25*C, thanks for that Mother Nature!)
Then I wrote 2 letters (Dani and Tasha) and...
Took a nap with Tara *hihi*
Woke up when mam had come home and was wondering why the house was pitch black ;-)
Then we had dinner, was delicious!
Then I watched some TV but decided it was nothing interesting on.
Now I will finish up here and then I´ll watch a movie > The Switch.
Ooh, guess what peeps!
I´ve decided to get a tattoo!
Exactly when it will happen, I don´t know, hopefully within the next few years.
You´ve probably guessed what my future tattoo will look like, right?
<----
Yup that´s correct.
It´s a Celticknot so I don´t have to explain more in detail why I´m getting it, huh?
*wink wink*
I thought so.
Here´s 2 photos of what the tattoos can look like when they´re done.
I haven´t quite figured out how I want the colours to be... The first one here looks great but then, I´m all about the colour green :) Then I´d also like to have some gold/bronze included, as those are 2 Irish colours (esp. when you look at the flag).
I´ll have to think about that.
Now I will watch that movie.
Take care darlings!
*mwoah*

Swedish ESC. 3rd Semi final. Linköping.
The FINALISTS are
Photo: svt.se Far left: Playtones; Far right: Eric Saade
ERIC SAADE
comment: Eric was totally worth it! He had the best song of the evening, the routine for his number was kickass awesome and of course he looked gorgeous!
You all know I love this lad!
Now, I´m not sure that the song itself, Popular, is better than Manboybut the number was really, really awesome! More... grown-up, if you get what I mean.
As Eric´s name also was the first be called out when the finalists would be announced, it meant he had got the most votes for the evening.
*wihuu*
I would show you his performance, but the rules in the Swedish ESC is that none of the finalists´ clips can be uploaded on sites like e.g. YouTube before the finale asthey maybedisqualified.
You´ll have to wait until after the finale...
Instead, I´ve posted some interviews. They´re in Swedish but... Just look at how happy & excited Eric is!
*lol*
The first video is the intro that came before Eric´s performance.
I´ll post the lyrics at the end of this entry.
The other finalist was Playtones. I don´t get it, I honestly don´t get it. Their song The King wasn´t even that good + the singer is horrible at pronouncing English! I got annoyed just by listening to it!
The band is a rockabilly/dance band.
Screw The Playtones!
Eric went straight to the GRAND FINALE on 12 March and to be honest, he´s my fave out of all the finalists so far.
So, yesterday I spent basically all day in Vaasa. I also met up with S, since we hadn´t seen each other in a while, getting to spend time together alone. We walked around the city centre with the 2 shopping malls and other shops + we went eating at a Chinese buffet. Yummy!
The only thing I wanted to get through the shopping spree, was a smaller, black purse. You know, the kind you can bring with you "out on the town" or, as in my case, bring to a musical. It costed 23 €.
At the same time I was in Vaasa, I decided to go and see a movie. I had to go on my own, though. S wasn´t that keen to come with me. She even said no to a Disney-movie haha. The Disney-movie was Tangled and YES I´m admitting I wanna see that particular movie thanks to two fabolous people who makes the Swedish voices for Rapunzel and Flynn BUT on the other hand, you can simply watch the trailer for the movie and you´ll know it will be good.
However, if I wanna see Tangled because of those who make the Swedish voices, I probably wanna see the Yogi Bear movie because of who does the voice for Boo Boo *LOL*You wanna take a guess?
You might´ve discovered which movie I did watch at the cinema. Burlesque! It was so great! Just my kind of movie - as you know how much I adore musicals, both theatrical and movie ones! Christina Aguilera was so great, I already knew she had the voice (amaaazing!) but she can act too! She was really great as the role of Ali. Some of the musical numbers in the movie are really, really awesome! The whole cast was amazing! Kristen Bell did awesome as the bitch/Ali´s enemy later to be friend Nikki, Eric Dane was the bad guy, Julianne Hough was the sweet/let´s be friends girl... Alan Cumming, Stanley Tucci and Cher are also great in their roles.

Plus... There was that compulsary hot lad in it as well! Cam Gigandet! Oh my Lord...! He´s more than perfect for the role of Jack. He totally plays the good guy. I was honestly a bit surprised to see him like this in Burlesque, as I´ve only seen him as the bad guy in The O.C. (remember Volchock?) and Never Back Down, and of course the role of James in Twilight. In Twilight he was like... very, very vicious! He totally played the bad of the bad there!
Besides, Cam and Christina have amazing chemistry!
This picture you see here, is from my favourite scene of the whole movie! So hysterically funny!! Oh, did I mention that Cam is hooot in this particular scene? ;-)
I did say that the musical numbers in the movie are awesome, well... Here´s one of my faves! So funny!
Btw....
I put some new colour in my hair tonight, dunno if you can tell....
Anyways, my hair is so soft now! You know, the way it gets after getting coloured! I loove it!
Yesterday (as the last entry said) me and mami went to Vaasa for shopping.
The shopping was mainly for the supermarket but we found some stuff for ourselves as well.
I´ll be going to Vaasa again next week and then I´ll do some more shopping for me.
I need a smaller purse, probably in black.
I can´t come with my big baggy one to Göta Lejon, now can I ??
*hihi*
I´m also going to the cinemas then to see Burlesque.
I´m looking forward to it more and more, as everyone has told me that´s it´s a real great movie.
I have to give a shoutout to Tasha again for the nice comment on the "new" design on the blog. I have changed it now, and I like it. Let´s see how long ´til I´ll change it again, hehe!
Since it´s Friday...
Here´s a lil song to get y´all in the Weekend! *wohoo*-mood!
Danny was the first out of the 2 finalists to go straight to the Swedish ESC finale in Stockholm on 12 March.
When I first heard the song (30 seconds of it) I didn´t like it too much but then I heard it as its full + together with an AWESOME routine, I loved it!
Danny is also mega charming and super hot! *LOL*
^^ Another graphic I made a moment ago in Photoshop.
Hmm, I don´t know. But some ppl are obviously saying the movie
I AM NUMBER FOUR is somewhat of
a new TWILIGHT.
I don´t think so, mate!
Not likely.
The trailer (look above) looks... simply confusing.
But the cast look good: Alex Pettyfer and Dianna Agron (among others).
Alex also starrs in another movie I´d LOVE to see, BEASTLY.
And Dianna plays Quinn in GLEE and she´s awesome!
Since I started taking those IT classes at KKC, I got to borrow a laptop from there, so I could do the assignments and such. Anyways, on that laptop, Photoshop is installed.
*YAY*
So, last night I worked on a few graphics... starring Mr JT! *hihi*
When I woke up, my head felt real... groggy. Depends on me being dead tired, probably.
When mam came back from Malax (she went there for massage + foot massage) we started cleaning. Mam took care of downstairs and I took care of my room.
It was well needed, I can tell ya!
Then we went to Näsby, as mam had an appoitment at the hairdresser´s and other arrends to run. We also went to eat at pizzeria Casa and for once, I tried the kebab with fries. It was delicious but a huuuge portion, so I couldn´t finish it. It might also have had something to do with the extreeemley hot chili sauce.
Eh, only have myself to blame, I wanted the sauce so...
On our way home, Auntie B called mam (as she couldn´t get a hold of me as my mobile battery had died) and asked if I wanted to join her to F & T´s and keep her company while baby sitting little W.
Something I gladly did.
However, as charming as little W can be... She was a real toughie tonight.
Yikes!
Auntie B was struggling when it was time for the lil one to go to bed. But then, she turned like over night and she fell asleep on the spot.
Auntie B also told me that little W has got a lil cousin today (or if it was yesterday, I don´t know) as T´s sister has got a baby girl. It was the first I heard of it!
(1 av 2 hotties turning 30 during 2011 *lol* #2 being dmaSOUL!)
Lucky me, I have a poster with that ^^ picture... Oi! c(=
I would gladly call JT KING of POPbut I know very well that that title belongs to MJ, so therefor...
JT may PRINCE of POP in stead.
Do I have to tell you I adore this man? No, I thought so.
I admit, I haven´t always paid attention to what he´s been up to but I´ve never stopped liking him, no way!
He´s always been there, in one way or another.
I mean... Come on! What´s not to like!
He has the looks, the voice, the moves... The talent!
This may sound so cliché, but I´m gonna say it.
JT and especially his gorgeous music, has helped me through some rough times.
There´s one event I´m thinking about, that happened 5½ years ago...
Two songs that especially helped me after that event was NEVER AGAIN - still one of my absolute fave songs and the immortal JT classic... CRY ME A RIVER.
I also find those 2 songs to be my faves with JT, even without considering that tragic event...
Below, I have collected some favourite JT moments of mine. There are music videos, live performances and anon stuff.
A little heads up: The three last clips are not JT clips, there are more...
Other people, artists, performing with JT songs.
Some better than others...
