February 2, 201411 yr I'm In Love being a highly prolific No.32 SMASH in her homeland the last time she participated! Still, she's never yet entered Melodifestivalen and not reached the final but I do wonder if her luck might finally be up.
February 2, 201411 yr Looking at the other artists and their Wikipedia (I've only heard of Martin and Sanna), she bloody better go DTG! Of course I'll wait until we've heard the songs, but I can only see myself liking Sanna and maybe J.E.M. given that Love Trigger is the work of Thomas G:Son.

February 2, 201411 yr Author I'm In Love being a highly prolific No.32 SMASH in her homeland the last time she participated! Still, she's never yet entered Melodifestivalen and not reached the final but I do wonder if her luck might finally be up. Well, Med hjartat fyllt av ljus ended up going #1 after that crashed out last, so chart positions aren't the most accurate of oracles when it comes to voting!
February 2, 201411 yr Well, Med hjartat fyllt av ljus ended up going #1 after that crashed out last, so chart positions aren't the most accurate of oracles when it comes to voting! Wasn't I'm In Love propped up a fair bit by the jury votes in the final? I'm not saying she's not well liked, she's just not as prolific as she was in 2008, or even 2011. Also the Shirley Clamp example was in the time before Spotify shaped the Swedish charts, so basically 300 die-hard Shirley fans rushed out to get the single when she did a signing at some shopping mall et voila, a No.1 single - which crashed to No.16 the following week! But yes I do agree that older voters who might not use Spotify or buy music are quite likely to vote for Sanna, having built an affinity with her from schoolgirl to grown woman.

Fifth in the televote and fourth overall isn't too bad. And let's not forget she did go through direkt when the winner of the heat went through first without a second round of voting!
February 2, 201411 yr All true but I doubt that her seemingly eternal goodwill will be enough to send her DTF this year unless she has a truly incredible pop song.
February 2, 201411 yr rYfseubQalY VOX! :angry: WTF were Sweden collectively on last night????? Did someone spike the water supply?!?! She should have gone DTF -_- Yeah if that level of tantrum happens in the OTHER PLACE with Helena making AC then god forbid if anything unsatisfactory should happen to Sanna next week! If Sanna doesn't go DTF i'm going to learn how to do a DDoS attack and take svt.se offline for Sweden's crimes against Schlager.
February 2, 201411 yr I'm kinda more confident in Sanna too for some reason, something about her doesn't feel as "big artist hyped up for a flop", she's just a well loved Swedish darling who seems to still "have it" and not have to retain it.
February 2, 201411 yr For what it's worth, 'Undo' is allegedly a mix between 'Empty Room' and SDF's 'Moving On' so the potential for a killer ballad is high!
February 2, 201411 yr For what it's worth, 'Undo' is allegedly a mix between 'Empty Room' and SDF's 'Moving On' so the potential for a killer ballad is high! Good. We need a ballad that can compete against Songbird in the finals to destroy it's chances. I was getting a little worried that it might be the only ballad in the finals so it may win on default. I was never a fan of "Moving On" though.
February 2, 201411 yr http://i.imgur.com/svvgTPl.png is my reaction having watched the results. Helena's song, whilst probably my favourite of the semi, didn't evoke a THIS HAS TO REACH THE FINAL AND WIN emotions. So, I'm not entirely gutted she only made AC - but really, she should have been DTG. Disappointed for Alvaro, but I liked Ellen's song a lot more than I anticipated. I get 'Birds' vibes off it and see it doing REALLY well in the final.
