February 22, 201411 yr Author 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. The international juries have never really shown an especial preference for ballads, so I don't think Songbird will be a big contender from the jury votes. If anything, they've been bigger on international-standard modern polished pop. I reckon if JEM make it through andra chansen they'll do REALLY well with the juries - but sadly I'm resigned to it basically being a titslap between Sanna and Anton in the juries. Hopefully the Swedish public will let Sanna FINALLY have her chance (not only because I think Natural is LAZY AS HELL) If Helena makes it out of AC with JEM/Martin the final will be the best in YEARS. Since 2009 at least!
February 22, 201411 yr 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. I do think it's more likely Sanna's to lose. Anton will do very well with the public and International Juries, but I think Sanna might just do well enough across all 3 to win. Of course that's barring any surprises, like you say Ace could be anywhere really (though I'm inclined to say bottom half really). I see Alcazar doing a Linda B 2011, storming through but totally bombing in the final.
February 22, 201411 yr Author I trust Pavel is on the mp3 collecting duties again this year? There's not really much point given the CD's out in a couple of hours!
February 22, 201411 yr I trust Pavel is on the mp3 collecting duties again this year? I shall try my best! It seems so many qualifiers are already on itunes but not all. Hopefully the entire compilation will leak soon
February 22, 201411 yr The only silver lining to that diabolical result is having Survivor, Undo and Blame It On The Disco on MP3 tonight.
February 22, 201411 yr Author Rewatching the Blame It On The Disco reprise, Tess was UTTERLY CUNTED throughout! :D
February 22, 201411 yr *m4a I've got Linda and Janet if anyone who can't wait for the official compilation wants~
February 22, 201411 yr Yeah, it's shaping up to be a superb final - JEM & Martin advancing from AC would be my preferred pairing but I did really like 'Survivor' (and really like Helena) and 'All We Are' so either of those 2 qualifying would be fine with me aswell.
February 22, 201411 yr Out of AC I'd like Helena and State of Drama most, but Martin would be fine too.
February 22, 201411 yr It would be an absolute joy to see Sanna belting it out for Sweden live on BBC1 in May :wub: I could see the UK giving the song a few points too. Somebody on my course heard it playing through my headphones the other day and said 'what on earth are you listening too, Celine Dion?'
February 22, 201411 yr AC running order 1. Ammotrack – ”Raise Your Hands” 2. Linus Svenning – ”Bröder” 3. JEM – ”Love Trigger” 4. State Of Drama – ”All We Are” 5. Ellinore Holmer – ”En himmelsk sång” 6. Martin Stenmarck – ”När änglarna går hem” 7. Helena Paparizou – ”Survivor” 8. Outtrigger - ”Echo” UGH @ them trying to make Outtriger/Ammoshit happen
