Not only that but it's even more hit and miss in cities that aren't Gothenburg and Malmo.

Predict
DTG: Robin Bengtsson, FO&O
AC: Anton Hagman, Jasmine Kara
5th: Owe Thörnqvist
6th: Bella & Filippa
7th: Krista Siegfrids

Want
DTG: Anton Hagman, FO&O
AC: Krista Siegfrids, Jasmine Kara
5th: Robin Bengtsson
6th: Owe Thörnqvist
7th: Bella & Filippa

Sorry guys but I'm going to be Joseph for tonight and I hope the twink acts go direct, love them both! Robin's song is good but not as good as 'Constellation Prize' for me. Krista is unfortunately DOOMED. Jasmine has a great song, can definitely see that going to AC. Owe isn't my usual sort of thing but it's FAB, could well go to AC and do a Hasse. Bella & Filippa have really underwhelmed me, it's all a bit Abalone Dots.

I am definitely here for Jasmine Ace-ing this! This is defnitely the hardest heat to predict so far though, I'm not *that* taken by F&OO or Robin, the former is ok for what it is I suppose. Anton is very good though, it's quite Shawn Mendes and is already in my head!

This heat is incredible.

1 - Bella & Filippa - This is the Amanda Jenssen heat 4 song 7 entry of my dreams. When the backing vocals came in on the second chorus they took my breath away. When they then took over the show in the final chorus, it gave me the same feeling I had when I first heard the choir come in on Kati Wolf's seminal What About My Dreams? - but somehow even better. This is so good I could cry.

2 - Robin Bengtsson - That production is sublime.

3 - Anton Hagman - So the original brief here was really obviously to just rewrite Stitches but for the first time in the history of Melodifestivalen "recycle a recent hit" entries it actually improves on the source material. There's so much more going on in this than in Stitches - that countermelody in the chorus is absolutely infectious.

4 - Krista - Love the secret weapon in the middle eight of a XYLOPHONE SOLO. This is doomed and everyone knows it's doomed but it's just a great pop song and at the end of the day THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS

5 - FO&O - This sounds really oddly like a host entry? It completely nails the rousing anthemic thing that the likes of Tell The World I'm Here all stretched so hard for but failed miserably in reaching. I won't begrudge this a place in the final too much.

6 - Owe - Absurdly good fun.

7 - Jasmine Kara - Possibly the biggest mess of a song entered into Melodifestivalen for years, to the extent I'm actually impressed - it's like somebody put the Mary J Blige demo of Titanium on and then let Jackson Pollock take over production with every 2016 sound preset going at his disposal. That postchorus drop is LAUGHABLE! I kind of imagine Ellen Benediktson looking at this and realising just how much worse Insomnia could have ACTUALLY GONE.

WHY IS NOBODY ELSE TALKING ABOUT HOW FUCKING BRILLIANT CRUCIFIED IS

THIS IS POSSIBLY THE GREATEST MELODIFESTIVALEN ENTRY SINCE HERO

(AND YES I DO INCLUDE EUPHORIA WITHIN THAT CONSIDERATION)

As a society we owe it to ourselves to destroy anything related to Mendes so... Anton is clearly not a good name for Swedish musicians. Robin still sounds dull. FO&O, please clean up the inevitable "hot man on the stage" votes, I'm counting on you.

However I think I rather love Gravity now (if only in studio form) and Crucified is rather pretty.

the most important thing though is to crown Owe as the new Hasse/king and be done with it.

You better hope they have some fit backing singers or dancers because they themselves do not fit that category..

Anton on the other hand needs to go direkt till my bed (his song is fab too heart.gif Both him and FO&O are sounding better than Benjamin Ingrosso)

Ha! I said he'd be dangerous. It's like Reet Petite reimagined in Swedish, by a charming old man. What's not to like? We'll see how he does with the app voting, but despite his age the song seems pretty accessible and instant.

Also, unlike Lisa last week, the use of fuck in this song doesn't really sound necessary.

The production is fab and I quite like the melody but it's not as good as Constellation Prize and would sound better if someone else was singing it I think. It felt longer than 3 minutes though.

Great opening, such a slick and impressive performance, and the song is fresh and catchy, even if I don't like it as much as Constellation Prize.

I really wish I liked the song more because she is selling the absolute SHIT out of this performance wise but that production in the chorus is AWFUL
