Nietzsche apparently being removed from textbooks worldwide as we SPEAK http://i.imgur.com/hAM1jlk.jpg 03: Martin Stenmarck - Du tar mig tillbaks Text och Musik: David Stenmarck William Hill odds on going direkt till finalen (decimal / fractional / projected heat finish): 4.50 / 7/2 / 5th William Hill odds on winning Melodifestivalen (d / f): 34.00 / 33/1 PRÉCIS: Hot daddy with the worst Melodifestivalen winner of the 21st century and best MF comeback by comparison with his previous entry under his belt decides to spoil the track record again and come back with dull Radio 2 fodder your nan'll love. http://i.imgur.com/ORaCef9.jpg 04: Linda Bengtzing - Killer Girl Text och Musik: Mattias Kallenberger, Andreas Berlin, Linda Bengtzing och Dag Öhrlund William Hill odds on going direkt till finalen (decimal / fractional / projected heat finish): 5.50 / 9/2 / 6th William Hill odds on winning Melodifestivalen (d / f): 51.00 / 50/1 PRÉCIS: Having worn out a well-established persona as everyone’s abrasive manic aunt who won't stop mentioning schlager at the dinner table with her first heat knockout ever in 2014, Linda has decided to play the last card remaining for her: LESBIAN BREAKDOWN :( With a track described as 'the lovechild of Alla flickor and E det fel på mig, fully in the genre of Linda. Fucking. Bengtzing.', this likely isn't going to be bringing any new supporters to the Bengtzing brigade. But can it rally the troops for Linda's last stand? http://i.imgur.com/xoPO6jo.jpg 05: Frans - If I Were Sorry Text och Musik: Oscar Fogelström, Michael Saxell, Fredrik Andersson och Frans Jeppsson Wall William Hill odds on going direkt till finalen (decimal / fractional / projected heat finish): 7.00 / 6/1 / 7th William Hill odds on winning Melodifestivalen (d / f): 67.00 / 66/1 PRÉCIS: Everything awful about simpering earnest acoustic straight boy pop from the last two years finds human expression. http://i.imgur.com/37T40kK.jpg 06: Panetoz - Håll om mig hårt Text och Musik: Jimmy Jansson, Karl-Ola Kjellholm, Jakke Erixson, Pa Modou Badjie, Njol Badjie och Nebeyu Baheru William Hill odds on going direkt till finalen (decimal / fractional / projected heat finish): 1.73 / 8/11 / 2nd William Hill odds on winning Melodifestivalen (d / f): 15.00 / 14/1 PRÉCIS: White Eurogays froth in anger as fun 4 non-racists Panetoz return from their 9th place tropical bop in 2014 and throw in some of Melodifestivalen's hottest modern hit songwriters for the bargain. http://i.imgur.com/tkeILLX.jpg 07: Molly Sandén - Youniverse Text och Musik: Molly Sandén, Danny Saucedo och John Alexis William Hill odds on going direkt till finalen (decimal / fractional / projected heat finish): 1.14 / 1/7 / 1st William Hill odds on winning Melodifestivalen (d / f): 2.75 / 11/4 (FAVOURITE TO WIN) PRÉCIS: Because they're really sensitive and stuff Molly and Danny decided the obvious response to the Paris massacre was writing a song in half an hour for Melodifestivalen, adding standards in song titles and songwriting to the death toll (tasteful song inspiration having already died on the MF altar with Linus Svenning). However, given this woman took a track as white bread as Why Am I Crying? to third, it's a cert for the final. But is it good enough to win?
February 24, 20169 yr One of Molly Sandén's choreographers is Sacha Jean Baptiste who I remember was in charge of Nina Sublatti's amazing stageshow in Vienna last May! *.*
February 24, 20169 yr One of Molly Sandén's choreographers is Sacha Jean Baptiste who I remember was in charge of Nina Sublatti's amazing stageshow in Vienna last May! *.* He was also in charge of Gina's "Love Story" interval act last week.
February 24, 20169 yr The opinions from the following on first listen were underwhelming for Molly, but they've since said this: Schlagerprofilerna @Schlagerprofil OK, at a second listen. Molly's voice and song stands out. It feels...more expensive. You hear the money involved in this. #melfestTobbe Ek (Aftonbladet) This might win not only on Saturday, but also in the final. Extremely similar in style and structure to Loreen's "Euphoria", but with a different melody. The middle eight builds up to a climax which never comes, and the ending is quite weak. Sounds promising! *.*
February 25, 20169 yr vjcZGtSi0mk Compared to the studio version, the production seems very weak in this video - I'm hoping that it's a volume level issue as the studio version had much more impact. The staging is beautiful though, but I hope the final performance has more power sound-wise.
February 25, 20169 yr All the clips are in the usual place. I think Molly's song sounds brilliant and I do think it has that power that's going to make it a contender for the win. I don't really get the Frans song? It doesn't sound very good or competitive from the clip and he doesn't sound a brilliant singer either. Dolly Style as fun as ever! And BENGTZING back to full force schlager *.* Slay drottningen Predictions DTG: Molly Sandén, Dolly Style AC: Eclipse, Panetoz 5th: Linda Bengtzing 6th: Frans 7th: Martin Stenmarck
February 25, 20169 yr Frans' song sounds DISGUSTING. At least I have a proper hate figure for this year. Aside from my obvious, Dolly Style sound really really amazing.
February 25, 20169 yr See, Frans sounds diabolical but it's the kind of cod-Bieber pop that I think the app voters will lap right up I predipt; DTF: Molly, Frans AC: Eclipse, Panetoz 5th: LINDA f***ING BENGTZING 6th: Dolly Style 7th: Martin
February 25, 20169 yr I feel like it's mostly gone too well so far, I'm getting that feeling about Franz as well :lol: Maybe only AC but there's a real lack of "why tf did this qualify" and that makes me suspicious for this heat.
February 26, 20169 yr Meh, subpar year in the end with a couple of big sounding-but not really amazing entries. DTF: Molly Sandén, Frans Bieber AC: Dolly Style, Panetoz 5th: Eclipse 6th: Linda Bengtzing 7th: Martin Stenmarck
February 26, 20169 yr TIRREN, WHERE'S THE NEW THREAD? I'd start one myself but there's no way you're giving up the chance to write an ABSOLUTE OPUS on Bengtzing, my love.
February 26, 20169 yr I know :( I might have snatched Heat 2 or 3 off you, but I think it'd just be bad taste for anyone else to do a write up for this one.
February 26, 20169 yr Another Swedish singles chart update that nobody really cares about, but still gives a bit of a look into what is doing well: 04 [01] Samir & Viktor - Bada Nakna 23 [19] Albin & Mattias Andreasson - Rik 39 [44] Isa - I Will Wait 41 [**] Sahara - Kizunguzungu 56 [**] Boris Rene - Put Your Love On Me 57 [**] Smilo - Weight Of The World 77 [73] Molly Petterson-Hammar - Hunger
February 27, 20169 yr With no heat four thread imma go here~ Frans slayed the genrep! He's the runaway winner based on them. Yassssss
February 27, 20169 yr Frans – 226 (52%) Molly Sandén – 62 (14%) Panetoz – 53 (12%) Eclipse – 35 (8%) Dolly Style – 34 (7%) Martin Stenmarck – 13 (3%) Linda Bengtzing – 10 (2%) Now second fave on odds too
February 27, 20169 yr Molly's full dress rehearsal: krVmbgDzSgU Very shocked at the underwhelming reviews now, that seems as close to a winner as we've heard so far. Maybe people just had expectations too high? (Have also split the topic for the time being but feel free to merge it back and create a new one if you wanted the OP to do your amazing commentary!)
