February 16, 201312 yr It's not really an awful final imo, just very disappointing by MF standards. Skyline is by far the best, the others are varying shades of merely 'good', except tonight's qualifiers which are simply awful.
February 16, 201312 yr The sad thing is that Andra Chansen now has six great songs and the final has quite a bit of crap, some average and two 'quite good' songs. What's going on? I can only hope that Andra Chansen finally throws up a winner this year because of the finalists so far, Yohio or Sean Banan are probably the favourites :/
February 16, 201312 yr A final that had Thorsten Flinck, Sean Banan, Ulrik Munther, Dead By April and Amazing isn't hard to beat. And we haven't lost that many good songs either. Janet is the only one out so far that I'd really mourn. Of course AC has some good songs (but again, only one, Cookies N Beans, I would put up there with any of the finalists so far) but I'm really enjoying most of what is already DTF - my taste generator has shifted mostly in line with the Swedish public this year it seems. Which is good.

I can only hope that Andra Chansen finally throws up a winner this year because of the finalists so far, Yohio or Sean Banan are probably the favourites :/ Agreed really, seeing as AC has Erik & Tone, Anton and Martin, all of whom I'd be happy to see win! But I can't see it, then again Caroline nearly did it with Snalla Snalla and who says she can't do that again? :P Although since we've already had Mary N'Diaye, Janet Leon, Amanda Fondell, Feiner & Caisa and Eddie thrown away, things really haven't been going my way and I still predict YOHIO, Sean or at best Ulrik (without hearing his song, I expect to like it since Soldiers was very good) to win.
February 16, 201312 yr A final that had Thorsten Flinck, Sean Banan, Ulrik Munther, Dead By April and Amazing isn't hard to beat. Sean didn't get to the final last year! And I was willing to forgive any of last year's horrors for the holy trinity of Euphoria, Amazing and Mirakel :wub:
February 16, 201312 yr K so I'm just listening to the stuff from the first 2 semi's. YOHIO is amazing xD
February 16, 201312 yr Sean didn't get to the final last year! And I was willing to forgive any of last year's horrors for the holy trinity of Euphoria, Amazing and Mirakel :wub: Oh, I kept assuming he had, maybe because of the ease he went through this year. Well.. still. Euphoria, Mirakel and Why Start A Fire did pull the quality of that final way up.
February 16, 201312 yr Last year wasn't exactly AMAZING, but there was of course Euphoria and then we had amazing songs from Molly, Danny and Lisa, then there was Bjorn/Sara which was a really enjoyable hot mess, David was good and then I quite enjoyed Ulrik too so it was quite a good final really. Even if Thorsten was a TRUE horror!
February 16, 201312 yr In all honesty, the Lithuanian Final was more entertaining than MF has been this year.
February 17, 201312 yr The final is shaping up to be incredibly subpar. There's a few quality songs there but it's turning out to be such a non-event, which goes against the big spectacle ideal SVT always hopes for. Last year Amazing and Euphoria were playing ALL THE TIME EVERYWHERE in Stockholm. It was a media frenzy. This year you've got a crossdresser teen and a MS lady singing about fish. Not quite there. Ulrik and Army of Lovers better qualify DTF to raise the bar a bit but I can easily see Bard's wet dream crashing in Andra Chansen. Still I hope to see Yohio in Eurovision, it feels a lot fresh than the rest of it. Just as long as they don't send Sean Banan.
February 17, 201312 yr Melodifestivalen is evolving slowly, I'm not that surprised at all by these results, or any of the previous weeks. Heartstrings was clearly completely over-hyped and deserved what it got really. Martin was the surprise of the night for me, didn't think Sweden were still into that sound so I'm pleased he reached AC. Falling ended up as my favourite song of the night tbh!
February 17, 201312 yr That Janet Leon song is "potentially amazing", then it gets to the completely lackluster chorus! What a disappointment. It should be so much bigger, but it was weak and tbh, although I've not heard the other tracks, I'm not surprised it didn't go through really. So disappointing! :( EDIT: 'Falling' is lovely though! :o
February 17, 201312 yr Author I'm in SHOCK at Amanda Fondell. Janet and Eddie, not so much. Or State of Drama for that matter - the performance did what it did very, very well and it felt like a shock qualifier during at least. Just UGH at how MoR it was though. Well at least MARTIN got through somehow, it was the only song I really adored this week. Pavel, song packages? Also YOHIO to win pls xox
February 17, 201312 yr I absolutely adore Heartstrings. It's not the big revolutionary 'moment' that it was hyped up to be but had it been an Agnes album track or something it would have been the easy highlight, it's just appeared in the wrong context. Can't stop listening to it! I need the MP3's too please Pavvv.
February 17, 201312 yr No packs yet. I mean I have songs but they are bad quality even though they are technically 320kbps. I have good 192's of Janet and Amanda though.
February 17, 201312 yr I'll wait for the four studio's of the DNQ's and four 2:30 packs, I've found a pack of the 8 songs live...
February 17, 201312 yr Despite Alibi + Island being 2.5MB heavier they really do sound the same as Janet + Amanda's 192 versions. I doubt there will be proper 320 version from the latter two today (at least from my source). http://www^^.zippyshare.com/v/.../file.html ... = 23514519 ^^ = 25
