Hmmm kinda right. Lilla Al-Fadji is a comic character, created and played by one of Sweden’s biggest hip hop artists, Fille.

Hahaha. About 1000 places too high…

Cause really you just want them to discover some of the amazing old songs, like we all did! Can’t force them to like them though! Half of my top 10 are songs from before I became a fan and followed all the NFs. Songs I’ve discovered over the years.

It’s difficult, you know! Cause you don’t want to exclude the younger fans who haven’t explored ESC history yet. I just hope that some classic songs get in now and then and they discover them that way. Could be fun to have like “top 3 from pre-2000 decades” as intervals every few hours.

Ugh. Typo that l missed lol. Lifið, not Lifiõ OF COURSE.

Can anyone check on @keithykat.bsky.social pls?

Hoppas du hade finklänningen på dig! Och diademet!

Men gud, såg detta först nu! Gud vad härligt! Grattis!!!!

But do they mean the song contest, or the EBU content-sharing under the Eurovision name? Bit ambiguous.

Vilken grej…

Such a shame so many good songs aren’t available on streaming, but I tried to put together a bit of a playlist with National Final CLASSICS pre-2015 anyway. Lots of missing songs, but I tried! #nfc100 spotify.link/aVhiWpDLAXb

There is a hell of a lot on YT, and some broadcasters also have a lot of NFs on their homepages, though some are geoblocked. SVT has a lot of MFs pre-2005, NRK and YLE have lots of theirs, from memory RTVSLO had loads of EMAs and HRT lots of Doras. I think RTP also has some FdCs. Enjoy!
