Oh my at that Marie performance. It's so bad on literally every level.

Little Great Things sound fab! As does Sanna.

 

Guessing here:

 

DTG: Sanna Nielsen, J.E.M

AC: Martin Stenmarck, The Refreshments

5th: Little Great Things

6th: Pink Pistols

7th: Panetoz

8th: Manda

 

I think that looks like a clear top 5 but just who won't make it through is quite hard to say, pessimistically going for Little Great Things though.

why is it one of the most misguided packages ever?

Well, for someone who had a fairly successful pop career in Sweden and would ordinarily probably have been a contender:

 

- how on EARTH did she listen to that song and think 'yep, this is the one that's going to get me to Baku'

- how on EARTH did she look at that catsuit and think 'glamorous!'

- how on EARTH did she get through the rehearsals without somebody telling her that standing stock still and looking like a GLITTERED TURD probably WASN'T the way to sell it

- how on EARTH did that X Factor c. 2007 background get signed off without someone pointing out how cheap it looked?

- how on EARTH did that package get signed off without someone saying 'isn't Alesha Dixon probably still well off enough to sue for all of this?'

I feel that "Undo" is probably the best thing I've heard in a WHILE.

The only thing letting it down is the instrumental. It's too much and I'm worried it may drown out her voice.

But still 9.85/10 from me.

Loving that we're getting into .05ths of degrees now *.*

Aside, I've just read the February issue of QX (essentially the Swedish version of Attitude - it goes all out each year on MF coverage for the February issue) and they had a gay icon photoshoot with the contestants. The results are...well, phenomenal.

SHIRLISA *.* Now THAT is the duet I wouldn't want to miss!

Come ON loves, it's not THAT HARD TO INTERACT

I'm not as excited by the clips as I was last week. I'm only liking the sound of JEM and Sanna so far. Yes, yes I know you shouldn't judge based on the clips, but Panetoz, Manda and Stenmarck have underwhelmed me so far. Pink Pistols have surprised me though, looking foward to them.

 

I'm not going to have time to listen to these until tomorrow in any form due to no wifi access the last couple of days, hence my lack of interaction, soz!

OH GOD @ UNDO *.* I can't deal. This is probably a bit too much hyperbole from a one minute clip but I will lose absolutely all faith in MF if it doesn't go DTG.

 

 

(and wow Anton looks just as hot as Marlon Brando *.*)

 

Post clips prediction:

 

DTG - Sanna, The Refreshments

AC - Martin, J.E.M

5th Little Great Things

6th Panetoz

7th Pink Pistols

8th Manda

 

Pretty certain on the top 4, but really given what Ellen pulled off anything could happen and you really never can quite tell when it comes to MF.

Aside: gen-rep results (standard disclaimer that the audience is typically very kid/family-dominated)

 

215 Sanna Nielsen (32%)

212 Jem (31%)

80 Little Great Things (12%)

71 Panetoz (10%)

45 Martin Stenmarck (7%)

21 Manda (3%)

19 Pink Pistols (3%)

15 The Refreshments (2%)

 

If Panetoz and Manda can't even win over the kids...

saving myself 4 tomorrow.

 

it was like the televisual equivalent of BEING ON SPEED last week. 20 second cigs ftl.

I'm not as hot on Anton there. But I am living for Linus.

can't wait to see you 'nilla up for some sanna love jaïqué *.*

I'm not as hot on Anton there. But I am living for Linus.

I'm slightly disturbed how attractive he is there. Take away the piercings and I'm actually SLIGHTLY sold

Updated Melodifestivalen Odds:

 

 

1st: Sanna Nielsen

2nd: Alcazar

6th: JEM

7th: Elena Paparizou

10th: State Of Drama

11th: Janet Leon

17th: Shirley Clamp

20th: Linus Svenning

Seems we have a big influence over the 1 minute clips/placed bets.

 

Edited February 8, 201411 yr by Aaron.

'Undo' on that 1 minute clip sounds better than 'Survivor' for me - what even at the main lyric being 'undo my sad' though. I'm all for amusing Swedish attempts at English but as the MAIN LINE OF THE SONG? Aside from that minor technicality, I'm very ready for this although I don't think I'll be hooked on it the same way I was with the glorious "I'm In Love".

 

THOSE PHOTOS THOUGH, I'm in stitches at Linda Bengtzing in all those piercings. Sanna looks FAB aswell.
