That video = “Confessions on a Dance Floor” + roller-skating in the loo. That video though… (9): That bridge is a work of (9.6): Berserky wore glasses like that for a shoot once (9.5): I always confuse this with “Start the Fire”, so I’m always pleasantly surprised when I hear it, and start bopping the hell out. It’s worn out a bit for me since then as it’s not exactly substantive, but it’s still a good basic bop. Still enjoyable (10): This should’ve been a huge hit for them everywhere, it had the sound of the era (9): This immediately became my favorite Alcazar song when I first heard it. Rollerskates in a (10): To me this era is their musical Shoebox (8): The chorus doesn’t punch quite as hard as their best, so I’ve marked it down a little for that. Jenny Seth from Aftonbladet called it the “best track” on Disco (10): Lina sold it in her bathroom scene. (And thanks to an investigation two years after, we know that it was soldiers who lit a campfire in order to make coffee that were the ones who started the fire… hey-o….)
Oh, and that bed looks amazing.Īs an aside, can you imagine how difficult it has been to find information about this song and all flame-related Alcazar songs considering that, in the aftermath of the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco, a fire broke out in the Alcazar building? “Physical” may not have charted in Sweden, but it went to #3 in Finland and (according to Aftonbladet) #1 in the Ukraine! In a webchat sponsored by the same newspaper, Magnus said that he thought “Physical” was the best song that Alcazar ever (10): “I get my feelings from a magazine” is such a great, no-fucks-given (8): Very catchy and (9): “Sorry, I’m not a (8): “I get my feelings from a magazine” is a properly fantastic lyric and I adore the video of them in an Old Compton Street sex Shoebox (8): Another ‘classic Alcazar’ bop with the heavy reliance on the sample, but it is its own bop over the top of (10): 10s across the board – vocals, production, (9): Londonbeat amped up a few notches sounds so good! The song suffers a bit from repetitiveness, but it’s still Ace (9.6): (10): Better than Londonbeat. Highest: 11 x 1 ( 10 x 8 ( 6 x 1 ( runner-up for my 11! Melancholic dancefloor is my favorite groove! The girls harmonies are top notch here and the boys perfectly blend together on this one. Fucking love this one! I could listen to this over and over and over again all day long.
Or (11): The drama.the catchiness.and the refreshing message behind the song too! I adore the “am I a bad boy maybe, am I a sad boy let’s see” section.I imagine this would explode in a gay bar (11): This might be the song that solidified me as an Alcazar fan. What a song, (9.5): Cannot fault this too much, lovely all the way Ace (7.2): ‘Tragedy’ (10): That is such an Ace of Base chorus. It’s just not memorable or dramatic enough for me, so it falls flat and I would have voted for ‘15 Minuter’ (10): “Don’t need no babysitter / No, I am not that bitter” is such a great line. The intro is seriously (10): The key changes, the drama, the banjo!!! Truly pop Shoebox (5): Oh look it’s my least favourite of their Melodifestivalen entries. Doesn’t quite fit with the rest of the album, but still (10): I prefer Sarah Dawn Finer’s version if I’m being completely honest, but this is still nothing less than a 10. “Not A Sinner Nor A Saint” later became the group’s first ever #1 single in (10): My favourite of their Eurovision attempts. Ha!Suffer.gifĪftonbladet called Magnus and Andreas “Sweden’s answer to Siegfried and Roy”! Fortunately nobody was mauled by a tiger. On the other hand, Alcazar received 62 points from the jury and earned 110 points in the televote, leading them to the bronze medal. However, in the final itself, Barbados only received 7 points from the jury and no televote points, ending in 10th out of 10th place.
Alcazar had to advance to the final via the Viewers’ Choice round, whereas Barbados qualified directly. For those of you keeping track of Swedish band-hopping, Barbados also appeared in Melodifestivalen 2003 for the first time since Magnus left to join Alcazar.
