Doin' the Omoralsik Schlagerestival '15 (2)

Watched the second part most of the time at least. Regrettably, I admit. Really, most of the songs worthless, slow, boring and even awful. This part probably had the most embarrassing song on multiple levels I've ever heard on this show. A song called "Groupie". And now most of you (I hope, it could be that I'm old fashioned) would think about fans to rock groups that follows back stage and such. Really, quite a well known word if you ask me. In this song it's about... selfies with more people. Now, I might not be the most hip or forward when it comes to cultural phenomenons, but I thought that selfies centered around the photographer taking a picture with him-/herself in the picture with or without other people in the photo. Otherwise how do you explain selfies with celebrities. Already there I'm pissed of, because I can't help but think that they don't know what groupies is, which is just a google away. Made even worse is that they clearly stated they wanted to push this "new" world. And the song is all about that, taking groupies. I feel sick.

Overall the songs are probably some of the most boring to watch ever. The first 5 songs (out of seven I might add) didn't have anything to catch your eye, a stage show with lights and dancers or anything... well, except groupie, but I couldn't watch it due to how embarrassing it was so it was wasted anyway. Also, most of them slow as a snail. I would fell asleep if it wasn't for the attempts at humor that forced me to stay awake so I could face palm over the bottom of the barrel jokes they throw at the audience. The last two songs at least had a stage show to watch. Song number 6 was from a veteran in the business and also had some speed to it and was pretty much the better song of this evening. Song number 7 - Don't stop Believin'. I wish it was something akin to the Journey song, but it isn't. It at least seemed to have something to it. The stage show showed promise, a pity the song didn't deliver. I was expecting either an operaesque sound or even better Phantom of the Opera rock opera. No, and the singers voice didn't make it. But I guessed both would go on to the finals and they did. Thank god for that. Really, nr 7 could have been the best if it had a singer like Roger Pontare with a sound and song similar to his last entry to Melodifestivalen - Silverland, the song that should have competed in Eurovision 2006:

Look at the stage show, hear the rhythm and sadly for you the lyrics is in Swedish, otherwise you would have liked it as well. Damn poetic and even epic. Song nr 7 gave me these vibes, but didn't deliver, damn waste of an evening. 4 more weeks of this.
