I can see Thorsten doing Caroline Af Ugglas (not in that way you filthy f***ers).

With different production I'm sure I would love it, as is it's still alright. Didn't really like that performance very much.

What a moment. Winning the heat might be asking too much of the Swedish public but if it doesn't go DTG..

 

1. Loreen [10/10]

2. Marie Serneholt [9.5/10]

3. Sean Banan [9.0/10]

4. Dead by April [8.5/10]

5. Afro-Dite [8.5/10]

6. Abalone Dots [6.5/10]

7. The Moniker [4.5/10]

8. Thorsten Flinck [0/10]

01 | Sean Banan - "Sean den förste Banan" // It's just so bloody catchy, wish I didn't like it, but I really do. The sort of novelty that's actually acceptable, but not what I'd want Sweden to send at all. 7.5/10

02 | Abalone Dots - "På väg" // Not my sort of thing at all, a bit too country for me (some of the string bits reminded me of Shakira's Gypsy, not a bad thing at all), but it's not the sort of thing I'd ever find much better than okay. 6/10

03 | The Moniker - "I Want To Be Chris Isaak (This Is Just the Beginning)" - Just like with Sean, against what I want to feel, I quite enjoyed that. It doesn't have the catchy factor that Oh My God! had, but I did quite enjoy it in more of an anthemic way.. 7/10

04 | Afro-Dite - "The Boy Can Dance" // There was everyone complaining this heat seemed crap, this is another one that sounds a lot better than the preview made me think. Another extremely catchy song, had me dancing in my seat, bit dated, but very good fun. 7.5/10

05 | Dead By April - "Mystery" // I enjoyed that a hell of a lot more than I expected to. What JohnKM said, without the shouty bits, it's actually a very good song. 7/10

06 | Marie Serneholt - "Salt & Pepper" // DEFINITELY my favourite of tonight, I was really disappointed with the preview on first listen, but now - it's just (as I've used for like every song tonight) so f***ING CATCHY. Gonna have it in my head all night, reminds me of The Boy Does Nothing weirdly. No chance of it qualifying though. Oh, and she looks HOT in that catsuit. 9/10

07 | Thorsten Flinck & Revolutionsorkestern - "Jag reser mig igen" // I actually forgot I was listening for most of that, it just became background music as I watched TV. How boring. 2/10

 

08 | Loreen - "Euphoria" // People told me not to judge the song before I heard it in full. They were right, AMAZING. Love it, love love love it - don't think I love it quite as much as Sober, but the production is just fantastic, and the whole thing is... very euphoric. 9.5/10

Marie is the #1 Trending Topic in the world right now:

 

OMG f***ING INCREDIBLE. SHAKING AND CRYING RIGHT NOW.

 

DTG now or I will kill somebody. If it doesn't win the heat I'll be tutting but if it misses out completely....

 

(hyperbolic loon moment over)

Entranced. I want this to win the heat so much already! By far and away the best thing tonight.

Loreen - The last minute was PERFECT. Started off awkwardly though. And I f***ing HATED that she kept fixing her hair. A true performer NEVER does that. Still, 10/10.

 

I've also revised Sean and Abalones' performances and switched them up in my scoreboard. <3

 

This was actually a GOOD Semifinal! Quite a shocker tbh. But I guess 6+ listens of each song before the show played its role. Ha.

I can see Thorsten doing Caroline Af Ugglas (not in that way you filthy f***ers).

 

Representing Eledan in BJSC? :o

 

Loreen - That was amazing, gone is the dated diet trance production of her previous singles that I could never get fully on board with, this is what I was waiting for from Loreen. Euphoria really suits the amazing voice and great dramatic stage presence that she has and the production is top notch. 9.5/10

Prediction:

 

DTG: Loreen, Dead By April

AC: Thorsten Flick, Sean Banan

My Ranking:

 

01. Sean Banan

02. Loreen

03. Afro-Dite

04. The Moniker

05. Dead By April

06. Marie Serneholt

07. Dip and Dots or whatever

08. Whoever it was when I checked my email

Oh my god at Mel2012 being the #2 trending topic in the UK. What? :o

I really like the look of Loreen and the way the song is presented is great, but the actual song is so underwhelming. :(

Actually six songs I'd be perfectly willing to listen to again, thought this heat was meant to be not up to much. Hoping for

 

DTG; Loreen & Marie

AC; Sean & Dead By April

DTG: Thorsten / Loreen

AC: Dead by April / Sean Banan

 

Although I REALLY want to put Afro-Dite through. :cry:

so how long until we find out who qualifies?

 

Predictions:

 

DTG: Loreen, Dead By April

AC: Abalone Dots, Throsten Flicks

 

Hoping for:

That young presenter is actually very GOOD at presenting! :o

I like it, but not THAT much. Plus literally NOBODY can replace Caroline.

so how long until we find out who qualifies?

It's all over in 30 minutes.
