“The Swedish song contest, the artist is stopped after irregularities”
“But datorspelsbandet Pagan Fury may continue to compete.”
“GOTHENBURG. SVT stops Vlad Reiser.”
“at the same time, they break themselves against the rules on favoritism. “
“– If you are an artist so, you have almost always a commercial purpose, in any way, ” says Anette Helenius, project manager for Melodifestivalen at SVT.”
“the SVT stops the artist and influencern Vlad Reisers, 25, reklaminlägg on Instagram, which Mediepodden was the first to report. “
“Then stopped the artist of the SVT.”
“– as soon As we got out there, we asked him to pick it off. That post does not exist anymore. I have no idea how it happened, but of course, we are incredibly sorry that it has taken place, ” says Anette Helenius, project manager for Melodifestivalen at SVT.”
“at the same time, the group competes Pagan Fury in the Melodifestivalen third semi-final. The band is created of datorspelföretaget Paradox and acts as the official rock band for the computer game Crusader kings. “
“the Band’s participation has been criticised by, among others, medieexperten Emanuel Karlsten, who believes that the Eurovision song contest can be folded for favoritism. SVT responded to insure that the tape will not be associated with the commercial message or products during the contest period. “
“Despite the fact it was called the group until just a few hours ago for ”the official rock band for the computer game Crusader kings” in the Melodifestivalen own app. The wording was deleted by SVT when it was discovered. “
“– There has been a lot of mistakes, but I do not see that there has been any irregularities so far. What was most unfortunate was that we ourselves in our own app had an ancient text that came up. As soon as we got out, we took it away. It made me very annoyed, for it is the rules we ourselves set up, then we’ll have a very good track, ” says Anette Helenius. “
“the”will almost always Have a commercial purpose””
“Vlad Reiser is stopped from advertising in social media, why then Pagan Fury, which was created for promotional purposes, compete in the Eurovision song contest? “
“– If you are an artist so, you have almost always a commercial purpose in any way. So it is with Pagan Fury also. Regardless of when they occurred or how they occurred they are on the same terms as the artist. But the link to their commercial product, can absolutely not can be done in the Least context, during the period they are with us.”
“Where is the limit? Would comhem’s Judit & Judit or Ica-Stig be able to compete in the Eurovision song contest?”
” Absolutely not. They are not artists, they are not on any record label and their only purpose is to advertise a product. “
“the Melodifestivalen first semi-final is broadcast from Gothenburg on Saturday at 20.00 on SVT. “
