Dotter: definitely more Bulletproof over Little Tot. I adore the sound of this, but doesn’t sound like a Melfest winner.
Danny: I’m a bit surprised. This is dated, ripped right out of the 00s and I thought he would send something more mature (like his previous entry) but this aligns very well to In The Club/Amazing. No doubt with the right staging both Danny and Dotter should be DTF. Not sure either tracks have any legs to win… have we heard the winner yet?! |

Unga & Fira is still what actually sounds like a winner or something that they should send that stands out at Eurovision, but of course that won’t happen with the age group voting letting her down. Honestly I feel like it would really stand out and be something different at Eurovision for Sweden rather than just another polished pop song that people often criticise Sweden, especially coming after Tattoo which of course was just amazing.
Otherwise it’s Effortless for me so far, have to say I’m disappointed with Dotter’s clip but everything I’ve seen says it builds so perhaps it’s one where the full performance brings it together. It’s just with all the hype I think for it to be what might be a dull part of the song does feel like a let down. Danny is just a total damp squib going by the preview, I was expecting an uplifting 90s throwback but I agree it definitely just sounds dated more than anything. I fear Marcus & Martinus win now, but honestly… I wouldn’t count out Medina with a decent song as nearly all the competition have come through with not much. I do think Dotter still could do it with good staging and the full song, we’ll see, I certainly won’t count Dotter out just yet but I don’t see it for Danny. |

Agree on Unga & Fria and Effortless, either would be great host entries. It saddens me that both look highly unlikely to win.
Why is the former only 17th in the odds of the 24 songs still in? Why did it barely scrape through the semi? Yet it’s almost certainly going to No.1 in Sweden officially tomorrow - why the big disconnect? Maybe it’s just more of a radio hit but for me it’s the full package and deserves better. |

Rehearsal clips are out, although I’m really only paying attention to Danny and Dotter.
Dotter  yeah this sounds like a follow up to Bulletproof, I’m going to adore this (but I don’t see her winning)Danny  that rehearsal was MESSY. If only this was in one of the other heats so far, this sounds AC. But I don’t think he has any competition outside Dotter so likely DTF. Danny’s entry is quite disappointing I don’t know what he’s thinking. |

30 KMH was great - I hope this goes DTF over what I’ve seen of Danny so far.
Dotter came to WIN! That was INCREDIBLE! Circus X - this heat is kinda serving. I’m expecting Danny/Dotter DTF but I’d love to see this and 30 KMH in AC. Danny - I liked this marginally better than I thought I would, but I’m still so surprised this is the direction he wanted to go down. Honestly. It should be Circus X and Dotter that are going to the final. This post has been edited by Aaron.: 24th February 2024, 07:49 PM |

Dotter was great, my favorite from this heat. I hope Lia can make it through. Danny was a bit bland, but expect it to go DTF.

It's getting absolutely slated online but I really love the Danny song, it feels so nostalgic in sound for that 2012-2014 period, but with slightly more contemporary production (the piano was a bit reminiscent of David Guetta and Bebe Rexha's I'm Good).
But I also loved Don't You Worry Child and John Martin's Anywhere For You, so it doesn't surprise me that he co-wrote the song. Dotter was also good, but not sure I personally love it as much as Bulletproof or Little Tot. Absolutely obsessed with 30KMH, the most instant song I've heard in the competition so far! Even if it doesn't get through, it's surely going to be a huge hit in Sweden. Circus X sounded decent too, didn't care for the other two at all. |

Danny DTF. No surprise, but I was oddly hoping for a different result.
I’m sure Dotter is DTF as well, I really liked Scarlet - hope they are AC. |

Probably in the minority but song 5 was my favourite this heat. But I also loved Hasse Anderson a good few years ago
Liked Danny more than I thought I would This post has been edited by eurovision4ever: 24th February 2024, 08:15 PM |

Bizarrely close but gutted to lose 30KM/H!
The curse of performing second in Melodifestivalen. But Danny and Dotter always seemed the obvious pair to go through on paper, and Sweden are usually nothing if not predictable

This is probably the first time I've quite enjoyed this voting reveal, because it was actually really close for a change...!
The obvious top 2 on paper still making it, wasn't sure how much Danny's song would catch on due to it being a little dated but I enjoyed it a lot! Dotter's song is great too, if not as immediately strong as Bulletproof or Little Tot on first couple of listens. Think it'll grow! Albin making AC *.* SCARLET absolutely deserved to progress too, one of the most unique songs of the contest and a far better example of rock in this year's contest than Smash Into Pieces. Lia's was fun but I think Froken Snusk does that kinda vibe better so not super gutted to lose it. |

Just been reading about EPA tractors, to better understand the lyrics of 30km/h, and the culture that popularised Fröken Snusk and Lia Larsson, and it's been pretty enlightening.
A teenage subculture of modded cars that can only be driven at up to 30km/h (18mph), due to a particular Swedish law about young people being able to drive slow vehicles. Very interesting explainer here: I really can't imagine this ever being a thing here, drivers are far too impatient and would be infuriated getting stuck behind slow cars on single track lanes, for example.

Final Heat Clips are out, Marcus and Martinus have this on lock. Didn’t like them last year, I doubt I will favour this. But it does sound very good, I have no doubt they will win Melfest this year.
