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 Manboy but 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 as they may be disqualified. 

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.

Good Night sweetcheeks!

Eric Saade: Popular

Stop, don't say that it's impossible
'Cause I know it's possible
Though I know you never look my way
I can say; you will one day
I can say you will one day

I will be popular, I will be popular
I'm gonna get there, popular
My body wants you girl
My body wants you girl
I'll get you when I'm popular
I put my hands up in the light
You see me dancing for my life
I will be popular, I will be popular
I'm gonna get there, popular

Spread the news I'm gonna take the fight
For the spotlight, day and night
I can take this to the number one
Be someone, before you're gone
Be someone before you're gone

I will be popular, I will be popular
I'm gonna get there, popular
My body wants you girl
My body wants you girl
I'll get you when I'm popular
I put my hands up in the light
You see me dancing for my life
I will be popular, I will be popular
I'm gonna get there, popular

Oh, pop, oh pop, oh popular
Oh, pop, oh pop, oh popular
Oh, pop, oh pop, oh popular
Oh, oh-oh-oh

I will be popular, I will be popular
I'm gonna get there
My body wants you girl
My body wants you girl
I'll get you when I'm popular
I put my hands up in the light
You see me dancing for my life
I will be popular, I will be popular
