Mariette's song IS fantastic but it's definitely not 'nuphoria' (it still lacks *something* though I'm not sure what) and I have no huge desire to see her win (though I'd be happy enough with it as Sweden's entry).

 

The hype it got during its heat seems to have died off a lot for some reason anyway. I guess Jon and Mans just completely out-hyped it and she's been forgotten.

Current results of the favourite song poll on the Melodifestivalen website:

 

1. Måns Zelmerlöw - Heroes 35%

2. Jon Henrik Fjällgren – Jag är fri (Manne leam frijje) 14%

3. Eric Saade - Sting 12%

4. Mariette - Don't Stop Believing 8%

5. Dinah Nah - Make Me (La La La) 6%

6. Magnus Carlsson - Möt mig i Gamla stan 5%

= Hasse Andersson - Guld och gröna skogar 5%

8. Samir & Viktor - Groupie 4%

= Isa - Don't Stop - 4%

10. Jessica Andersson - Can't Hurt Me Now 3%

11. JTR - Building It Up 2%

= Linus Svenning - Forever Starts Today 2%

He's pretty definitely got this, hasn't he?

As long as LA GRANDE DAME NAH and Mariette go top five I'm at peace with that.

I love 'Don't Stop Believing' and 'Heroes' pretty equally, but to see Måns triumph would be so much more satisfying. And not just because he's a babe.

Heroes is my 5th favourite song in the final, but as long as it stops Jon Henrik and his PILE OF SHIT winning then I'm fine with that.

As long as LA GRANDE DAME NAH and Mariette go top five I'm at peace with that.

I'd be amazed if Dinah came top 5, I'd be content with her coming top 10. The fact she made the final feels nothing short of a miracle so I'm not expecting too much!

I think Dinah will be top 5 on the televote but whether the juries agree I'm not sure.

Let's not forget their ENDORSEMENT OF ACE WILDER last year, so we know they're amenable to GERIATRIC HARDKLUBB

It's looking more and more obvious to a top 3 of Måns, Jon Henrik and Eric. Mariette doesn't like she'll be a top 5 now either.

 

Groupie for 2nd place x

This year's international juries are:

 

Armenia

Austria

Belgium

Cyprus

Estonia

France

Israel

Malta

Netherlands

Slovenia

United Kingdom

Predix for the finishing order on Saturday

 

01 Mans

02 Mariette

03 Eric

04 Jon Henrik

05 Isa

06 Magnus

07 Hasse

08 Samir & Viktor

09 Jessica

10 Dinah

11 Linus

12 JTR

 

Fairly certain vi har en vinnare with Mans and the next three will be the chasing pack. Jessica won't be a total dead loss since she's the only ballad but I don't think she'll be strong enough to get much higher than 9th. JTR should bomb out totally with the jury and with Mans, Eric and Samir & Viktor also in the mix, whatever televote niche they'll have will be completely swallowed up.

It's been noted, which perhaps is coincidental but knowing Christer, it quite possibly isn't, (although it was only Russia of these four who were in the jury last year) Sweden, Norway, Finland and Russia are the only four countries with a notable Sami culture, yet none of them are in the jury, which could potentially harm Jon-Henrik even more.

 

ALSO worth noting, 'Popular' received 12's from only three juries in 2011. All three of these countries are in the jury this year.

 

Yes, I'm clutching at straws and it's f***ING FUN.
