ESC 2013 PRE-SHOW: LOREEN IS THERE

The pre-show with Gina Dirawi has just started here and her first guest is Loreen. She talks how her life has changed after winning Melodifestivalen and Eurovision 2012....

She is followed by the most wonderful "dracula queen", the most talked performance in town this past week, Cezar from Romania! He's honored to sit on the chair warmed up by Loreen!
Then Charlotte Perrelli is asked why she's such a big gay icon. (Well, look at her! lol)
Then crazy fans are interviewed and showed all around Malmö.

Then the devil himself (that what many think, I definately don't!) Christer Björkman visits... It's all about flow, he says. All songs in the line up get to shine and France opens as it is an energetic, modern song by an artists that has attitude. He says the meaning is to make a very long show feel short. Makes sense. Stop blaming him and think about it a little, ok?

Lys Assia was next interviewed by Mark Levengood who tells his grandfather was her fam. Then he sings her second song from 1956 Das alte Karussell... And O mein papa.

Then comes Eythor and Dina greets him by saying it's lovely he looks like Thomas G:son who is so much older than he is (23)....

Then Mark Levengood welcomes Bonnie Tyler by saying "We got so happy last year when you sent The Hump as we thought he was dead. Now we are happy they sent you because we love you!" She told she feels like Gaynor when not working and Bonnie when working, but in yeasterday's rehearsals she felt more like Gaynor on stage than Bonnie and that was no good - and luckily only rehearsal! The old bird also love her work still....
Carl Bildt next and a history lesson of Eurovision's political impact over the years, and the sexual minorities as well.

Edward af Sillén was there again live from the arena :-)

And also Jean Paul Gaultier! He seems totally in love with Petra Mede. No wonder, Petra is fab! He also likes Bonnie Tyler....

Ok, folks. Time for the show. See you after here with comments, results, and all that usual stuff... DING DONG!
