February 1, 201411 yr My rank: Helena Paparizou - Survivor YOHIO - To The End Elisa Lindström - Casanova Alvaro Estrella - Bedroom Mahan Moin - Aleo Ellen Benediktson - Songbird Linus Svenning - Bröder Sylvester Schlegel - Bygdens son Didn't expect Yohio's song to be so good!
February 1, 201411 yr All this (compared to last year) YOHIO love! Preliminary rankings: Ellen Benediktson - Songbird Alvaro Estrella - Bedroom YOHIO - To The End Mahan Moin - Aleo Elisa Lindström - Casanova Sylvester Schlegel - Bygdens son Linus Svenning - Bröder Helena Paparizou - Survivor Sorry to just about EVERYONE but I'm really not feeling Survivor yet. All of them are pretty decent songs, Songbird is just beautiful though.
February 1, 201411 yr 'Survivor' is fantastic! :o I wasn't as amazed as everyone else was yesterday after the 1 minute clip but still liked it a lot, but the 2:30 version is incredible and the last 30 seconds sound as though they will be absolutely brilliant! :wub:
February 1, 201411 yr All this (compared to last year) YOHIO love! <3 I appreciate him as an artist and liked his album, I just didn't like Heartbreak Hotel. Got to love something written by Andreas Johnson though :wub:
February 1, 201411 yr Ranking: Helena Paparizou - Survivor Alvaro Estrella - Bedroom Ellen Benediktson - Songbird Mahan Moin - Aleo Elisa Lindström - Casanova --- YOHIO - To The End Linus Svenning - Bröder Sylvester Schlegel - Bygdens son I actually didn't mind Heartbreak Hotel (at least in comparison to what everyone else thought of it!), but To The End is pretty dull. Hope he doesn't go DTF but I can't imagine him not doing so... I guess we've all learned by now to expect shocks in MF though :lol:
February 1, 201411 yr I was going to do what Rob is doing and avoid the 2:30 clips and just go into the show off the 1min clips. I couldn't avoid the temptation to go for Helena. There are no words *.* I have been disco slayed by a GOD. This MUST go DTG, I will accept no other outcome.

February 1, 201411 yr I love the Helena song but i think theyve autotuned her voice a bit too much. Shame she isn't entering for greece as i can't see the juries wanting sweden to win again so soon.
February 1, 201411 yr Author I don't think the juries really care about that kind of thing at all. It's not like it stopped them with Azerbaijan to say nothing of any other reasons they had for voting for Hold Me
February 1, 201411 yr I can appreciate someone perhaps not feeling Survivor but REALLY? Below the DEAD BROTHER GUILT-TRIP? It has a fairly nice melody to it (Linus that is) and I do like the odd rocky foreign language ballad (one of my BJSC entries last year was in a similar (better and more powerful) vein). The lyrics don't really impact me too much given I can't understand anything but the title word, but a large part of why I've ranked it so low is precisely because of the calculated setup it has going on. I really don't want to be the contrary guy AGAIN with MF but Survivor doesn't leave me wanting more. I can see it's powerful but that's all, it's not making me feel a thing. As a song it's good enough but then all the others make me feel a little bit, even Broder.
February 1, 201411 yr where can watch this and at what time? A livestream of the heat will start at 7pm GMT on svt.se/melodifestivalen There you go!
February 1, 201411 yr I'm going to be sat watching this in some really swanky clobber, cos I'm going out after MF - but we can pretend I'm dressed up for the christening of MF 2014 / death of Helena or something equally as ridiculous.
February 1, 201411 yr Author This heat is FUCKING FABULOUS and the best in YEARS. Since 2009 at least. 01 Helena Paparizou - Survivor / I'm INVOLUNTARILY GASPING with JOY at how good this is. The second double chorus is TRANSCENDENCE 02 Ellen Benediktson - Songbird / An unexpected favourite, but this sounds absolutely sublime. 03 Mahan Moin - Aleo / I'm always down for a SULTRY ROMP and this thinly (chiffon-)veiled ethnic Starships rewrite is hitting the spot 04 Alvaro Estrella - Bedroom / I can't stop MINCING to this 05 YOHIO - To The End / Actually REALLY GOOD. I was a Heartbreak Hotel fan but this is heads and shoulders above that as a song. Guess old Fraggle Rock did GOOD in the end 06 Elisa Lindström - Casanova / :( (DROP DEAD CHRISTER) 07 Linus Svenning - Bröder / Worryingly, I'd probably quite like this if a) he wasn't so whiny, and b) I didn't already know what it was about.
