February 22, 201411 yr Oh GOD THIS IS MY NIGHTMARE The top 4 I wanted were the bottom 4, pretty much in the same order I wanted too (swap Linda and IDA). Mess. The only one of the top 4 I liked considerably was Anton - the other two who aren't Ellinore were ok but in a heat with four wonderful songs it's so frustrating, argh.
February 22, 201411 yr To be fair, we do have a pretty great final now. Certainly much better than last year.
February 22, 201411 yr Very much on the Ellen and Ace train this year. No other winner would be satisfying.
February 22, 201411 yr also i've heard nothing yet buttt on the basis of how this entire year of mf has gone / how much this heat is BLOODBATH, i'm not so sure about linda going through...
February 22, 201411 yr AC is so full of faux-rock acts UGH. Here's hoping they cancel each other out and let Martin and Helena through *.* +1 Also, Alcazar to win the whole goddamn thing. SCHLAGER PRIDE!
February 22, 201411 yr We do have a pretty great final, I'd be happy with 6 of the direct finalists winning, Oscar and Anton being the exceptions. Whether half of those would do anything at Eurovision is another matter - it has to be Sanna or maybe Ace really for that IMO.
February 22, 201411 yr Author So, Melodifestivalen is now dead to the OTHER PLACE then? Nah. I think most people (including myself) loved Linda's performance but realised the song was nowhere near instant enough to be the winner out of that and Alcazar. I'd have been far angrier if it had been a Globen or Bust between Ewald and Linda - but this way, the right finalist on all fronts (gay satisfaction, fanbase, song quality, maybe only performance excepted but it was close enough between the two) definitely went through. :( for Linda but that's what she gets for BETRAYING THE CAUSE.
February 22, 201411 yr Watching that again and it's definitely the first qualifier I'm not keen on, like I said earlier, I just find them like a holiday park children's act. All so corny and not for me. But, 7/8 is really good (although Songbird isn't great either but it is good for what it is). HOPEFULLY we'll get two good AC'ers next week, but I see Ellinore and that worries me. JEM and Martin would be preferable.
February 22, 201411 yr Need Helena and either Martin or JEM through AC and we have a fantastic final!
February 22, 201411 yr Author Andra chansen COMING UP (don't post the thread like LAST YEAR Pavel or I will stab you/delete it)
February 22, 201411 yr Happy seeing Alcazar go direct to the final. Gutted for Linda, I wasn't crazy about the song but she put so much welly into her performance. She at least deserved andra chansen. Josef surprised me the most tonight, the 1 min preview didn't do it justice. Natural is worse than begging for me. (and I wasn't that crazy about begging) I really hope it doesn't win the whole thing. Edited February 22, 201411 yr by Sabrewulf
February 22, 201411 yr I actually rather like all of the direct finalists at present! If any two of JEM, Helena and Martin make it through next week then we have the best MF final since 09.
February 22, 201411 yr The only ones I'd really be happy to see win are Ace or of course Sanna. Natural is a grower so I think I'll grow to appreciate that enough as an entry and Songbird is very good plus Efrer solsken is great fun but they would be underwhelming winners. I really dislike To The End and Blame It On The Disco is ok at best. Ideally it would Helena and Martin or JEM through AC but I've learnt not to even entertain the possibility of the ideal when it comes to MF :lol:
February 22, 201411 yr I wish I had tickets/time/money to go to the final. It's like a roll call of my absolute faves.
February 22, 201411 yr Looking at the finalists Songbird and Undo are the ones I see the jury benefitting the most and out of those two the public will most likely side with Sanna so I think it's pretty clear she'll win this year. I don't see two AC qualifying winners in a row.
February 22, 201411 yr I just hope Dame Helena can make it out of AC. That way we have a handful of properly AMAZING songs in the final.
February 22, 201411 yr Looking at the finalists Songbird and Undo are the ones I see the jury benefitting the most and out of those two the public will most likely side with Sanna so I think it's pretty clear she'll win this year. I don't see two AC qualifying winners in a row. I think it's Anton's to lose, but there are so many strong pop songs in the final this year. Alcazar have done amazingly well to make the final but I think they'll struggle to make it higher than 7th or 8th. Ace Wilder is the wildcard, I have no idea whether she'll come top 3 or last.
