JR @jakreg76.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Spotify just made me realise that it's been nine years since Laura and Koit got lost in Verona and I haven't felt so "dated" in a long time... #agingeurofanproblems 040

JR @jakreg76.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Although beautiful I can't really connect with "Dorvobáiki". Caroline on the other hand is a star in the making. Captivating performance and an absolute pro. #SGP2026 010
JR @jakreg76.bsky.social · 28/03/2026I've been rushing to get home in time for #SGP2026 and although a bit late I'm so excited for tonight's show! 150
JR @jakreg76.bsky.social · 22/03/2026It's hard to keep yourself from going full-on Kathy Najimy when "Salve Regina" is one of the hymns at church. 030
JR @jakreg76.bsky.social · 18/03/2026If I had to choose one single negative to English being the main language of international pop culture it would be that Mylene Farmer isn't the global superstar she and her artistry deserve to be. 030
JR @jakreg76.bsky.social · 10/03/2026As a Swede I wholeheartedly believe that if, unlikely as it is, Felicia got disqualified for criticising Israel's participation in Eurovision it'd be a worthy price to pay for not playing along with the EBU to placate Israel and its genocidal and colonialist agenda. 040
JR @jakreg76.bsky.social · 08/03/2026Felicia won yesterday and it started right away: "Generic, lazy, songwriting by numbers, Melfest machine fodder etc" and then today: "Israel, Israel, Israel"... Thank God I'm tapping out because I couldn't take three more months of this. 000

JR @jakreg76.bsky.social · 01/03/2026I love San Remo, but 30 songs AND old dalmatian head is a bit much... #Sanremo 000

JR @jakreg76.bsky.social · 28/02/2026Five goofy Swedish boys next door singing a catchy song with a blend of P3 pop and dansband vibes. I'm sold. #Melfest 050
JR @jakreg76.bsky.social · 28/02/2026I like the live version of Tounge tied more than I thought, but there's a disconnect between an energetic song and a quite lackluster performance. #Melfest 120
JR @jakreg76.bsky.social · 28/02/2026Although it has an important message and Sarah is exhausting herself trying to elevate the song it's obvious why it was rejected. #Melfest 000
JR @jakreg76.bsky.social · 28/02/2026How on brand for the Melfest app to crash within an hour of the contest starting. #Melfest 000
JR @jakreg76.bsky.social · 27/02/2026"I maschi", "Bello impossibile", "Un'estate Italiana" - Gianna Nannini was wildly popular in Sweden during the late 80s and defined the europop so favoured by our only radio channel that played commercial music. #sanremo 030

JR @jakreg76.bsky.social · 21/02/2026Gina singing a song about how to pronounce her name ten years after she sang a song about the same thing says all that has to be said about what a dreadful year this is. #Melfest 010
