#axel schylström

[silvaradragontear]

Axel has good voice, the song itself is ok but I don’t want ballads in eurovision that also goes for powerballads like this one.

[dance-your-vision]

I have to be honest, the story behind the song is far more impactful than the song itself

there are just so many songs out there with the same message that communicate it better

Y/N was crying in the school bathroom. When Draco Malfoy came in. Beginning to sing “Gorgeous” by Axel Schylström.

Älskar att två artister som inte kom till finalen som artist kom till finalen som låtskrivare (Laurell Barker för Maria Sur, Axel Schylström för Theoz)

[issela-santina]

most of my facial flaws are from popping zits and it's realistically commonplace compared to something like Al Capone getting slashed or Axel Schylström getting electrically burned, and yet the cratered texture my face has now is a mark of a dark hazy history of being made to feel insecure about my looks

if people want a plot point from scarred faces maybe they'd like to talk about how many people pick at their pimples until pus and blood come out in the name of some beauty standard that their pubescent butts are urged to endanger their dignity and physical health for

i think its funny how facial scars are seen as like a major character plot point where they reveal that someone tried to kill their dad or something when i know a ton of ppl (including myself) who have facial scars bc they rlly arent uncommon and all of them are like. from tripping and falling as a toddler

[popblank]

Axel Schylström, "Gorgeous" - It's so strange that I am only familiar with him via this show, and after one song someone could say "oh that sounds like Axel Schylström" and I knew what it meant. Now I will have to expand that definition.

I'm not a fan of this staging with the backing singers surrounding him, but it is a really strong,personal performance and I like his voice.

It looks like we have a vinnare! Gratis to Axel Schylström, who will be representing Sweden in Språksvision taking place at Budapest on August 5th, with his song, Tagen på Sängen.

[viszlat-nyar]

As my country today is Sweden, I’m going to share my favourite song from their preselection, Melodifestivalen. This one is a schlage song, and it’s När Ingen Ser by Axel Schylström. My top 3 are here:

När Ingen Ser - Axel Schylström (Andra Chansen)

Her Kiss - Boris René (8th, Final)

Kiss You Goodbye - Anton Hagman (10th, Final)

Results From Melodifestivalen: Andra Chansen

Andra Chansen, the second chance round of Melodifestivalen, took place in Linköping on Saturday. Eight songs were organized into one-on-one duels, and four entries advanced to the final. 

FO&O vs. De Vet Du

It was the boy banders against the funny guys in this match-up. FO&O had the support of their many teenage fans, whose votes sent De Vet Du home. Which is too bad, because I think we all wanted to see DJ Hunk in the final.  

Axel Schylström vs. Lisa Ajax

Though Lisa Ajax’s “I Don’t Give A” is a little crude for Eurovision (the chorus contains the word “fuck”), her starpower gave her the advantage in this duel. I’m sure we’ll see Axel Schylström in Melodifestivalen again, but Lisa will continue to the final. 

Boris René vs. Dismissed

The match-up that no one really cared about saw soccer player and singer, Boris René, up against Dismissed, a genderqueer band. Boris, having competed in Melodifestivalen last year, had a slight edge, and won this duel.

Anton Hagman vs. Loreen

Anton, you in danger, girl. In the most anticipated heat the night, newcomer Anton Hagman went up against Loreen, 2012 Melodifestivalen and Eurovision winner. It was a match-up of a cute young guy with a little ditty about love, and an ARTISTE with a song about world politics, activism, and the Syrian refugee crisis. Fans of Loreen said, “Wow, a song with a message? But can it work at Eurovision??” And the rest of Sweden said, “NO! Because it’s a bummer to think about hard things!” And therefore, Anton Hagman is headed to the final next week, and not Loreen, winner of Eurovision 2012.

It was a devastating blow to Eurovision fans, but, sadly, this is not too uncommon at Melodifestivalen. While Loreen is adored by many, Swedes can be fickle, and they love what’s new and trendy. We saw it this year at MF over and over; Eurovision winner Charlotte Perrelli came last in her week, Roger Pontare was beaten by some drag queens. What is interesting is that Owe Thörnqvist, the 87 year-old man behind “Boogieman Blues,” is doing so well. The only explanation I can offer is that he is new to Melodifestivalen, and his performance is so surprising and unique.  

So now we have all twelve finalists, and a running order has been released for next week’s big show.

“Wild Child,” Ace Wilder

“Her Kiss,” Boris René

“I Don’t Give A,” Lisa Ajax

“I Can’t Go On,” Robin Bengtsson

“En värld full av strider (Eatneme gusnie jeenh dåaroeh),“ Jon Henrik Fjallegren feat. Aninia 

“Statements,” Loreen  “Kiss You Goodbye,” Anton Hagman

“A Million Years,” Mariette

“Gotta Thing About You,” FO&O

“Hold On,” Nano

“As I Lay Me Down,” Wiktoria

“Good Lovin’,” Benjamin Ingrosso

“Boogieman Blues,” Owe Thörnqvist

Who will win Melodifestivalen? Well, it won’t be Loreen! Because the world is a dark place right now, and we certainly don’t need anyone creating art to try to make it better! Betting odds have "Girl Who Sings Near and On a Bed” Wiktoria and "Kind of Sounds Like Hozier” Nano as the frontrunners. So, that’s exciting.
