February 27, 20169 yr Eclipse - Runaways 6/10 The token rock entry but like Neverstore last year I don't hate it! Ask me again when they knock Dolly Style out though. Dolly Style - Rollercoaster 9/10 Well naturally I absolutely love it! It could be a Saturdays song. Not as iconic as 'Hello Hi' though of course. Martin Stenmarck - Du tar mig tillbaks 1/10 The male version of Pernilla Andersson's song. DULL Linda Bengtzing - Killer Girl 9/10 THIS on the other hand is a non-stop schlager RAVE *.* Frans - If I Were Sorry 2/10 Now I'm usually ALL FOR the tween girl act but I cannot fathom how this is as popular as it is! He looks dreadful, sounds awful with that LENA-ESQUE cockeny accent and the song is just not memorable at all. Probably going direkt though :/ Panetoz - Håll om mig hårt 8/10 Loving this more than 'Efter solsken' already! And I'm already so excited for awkward white guy to own the perf!! Molly Sandén - Youniverse 10/10 Well this is the winner for me, absolutely love it. DTG: Molly Sandén, Frans AC: Dolly Style, Panetoz 5th: Eclipse 6th: Linda Bengtzing 7th: Martin Stenmarck
February 27, 20169 yr Runaways - A song built for me. Surprised me a bit with that chord progression too, it's a bit sharper on the turns than I'd thought it was going to be. Much better a token rock entry than Neverstore. Have at AC, ladz. Rollercoaster - I love this hot bubblegum mess. *.* That's what I come to Melfest for, fun pop songs like that. And that's without seeing their kawaii getup. Du Tar Mig Tillbaks - a bit dull really, hope this is one of the fall guys Killer Girl - Seems pretty typical schlager with a few modern touches, and that's no bad thing, it sounds like a load of fun. Shame it's doomed. If I Were Sorry - terminal. Reminds me more of Tom Odell than Bieber actually but the reason Odell wasn't awful was he had pretty good orchestral melodies to go with his pop, Frans does not have that at all so we're just left with an annoying voice and lack of a melody. Håll om mig hårt - YAY THIS IS FUN. I'm always up for a bit of Panetoz performing. Youniverse - Sounds... quite good. Definitely the song I'd have called to be doing best in this heat, might need a couple more listens before it clicks properly with me though. I may be around for this heat, I may not be. Got other NFs and I might be too busy doing stuff irl for any of them.
February 27, 20169 yr Eclipse - Runaways - not too bad for what it is! It's not really my thing but I wouldn't be averse to it being AC (although it's not in my top 4) for a bit of diversity, it's not horrendous. 6/10 Dolly Style - Rollercoaster - Saturdays comparison is spot on! This could easily have been on Wordshaker alongside Lose Control and Open Up! Very catchy and fun, I'm sure the perf will be brilliant as well. 9/10 Martin Stenmarck - Du Tar Mig Tillbaks - zzzzzzz. Probable last place hopefully/thankfully! 2/10 Linda Bengtzing - Killer Girl - very fun and quite unique with a mix of modern pop and classic schlager, but yeah it's pretty doomed sadly. 8/10 Franz - If I Were Sorry - JESUS CHRIST what on earth is this?!? I didn't manage to make it through the preview :lol: Just terrible, his voice is really irritating and the production and rest of the song is really just incredibly boring. 1/10 Panetoz - Håll om mig hår - definitely better than Efter solsken which I never really got into, it's so fun and catchy and the production is great! That middle 8 rap *.* 8/10 Molly Sanden - Youniverse - THIS HAS TO BE HER YEAR SURELY?! This sounds huge, it has that hit sound that it could cross over after Eurovision too. I think it'll be her or Robin surely? At least I hope to GOD Franz doesn't pose a threat :lol: I guess something from AC could creep up but I can't see it. 10/10 DTG Molly/Franz AC Panetoz, Eclipse 5th Dolly Style 6th Linda 7th Martin I imagine.

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 27, 20169 yr Didn't even notice that about Rollercoaster. I assumed the lyrics were not worth listening to. Floored.
February 27, 20169 yr with all the chaos in my life currently and having to have missed the last 2 deltävlings i almost completely forgot about this. but my body clock knew what to do <3
February 27, 20169 yr I love that the Swedes massively take to their Eurovision 12 pointer every year, which is quite often completely different to that of most other countries and usually the biggest pop song on offer - Lipstick, La La Love and Tonight Again.
February 27, 20169 yr Speaking like 9 months on, Tonight Again is probably in my top 3 of last year with Heroes and Love Injected.
February 27, 20169 yr Can we please have Gina med G and Sarah med S hosting Andra Chansen, the Final, Eurovision and every national final next year too please??
February 27, 20169 yr The pink wigged Dolly looks suspiciously like Janet Leon. Which can only mean they won't qualify tonight.
