February 25, 20178 yr Definitely Wild Child for the win for me - that would be a Sweden entry I can properly get behind.
February 25, 20178 yr AC DUELS FO&O vs. De Vet Du Axel Schylström vs. Lisa Ajax Boris René vs. Dismissed Anton Hagman vs. Loreen Shitting hell! Other than Boris being a lock for the final, the other three could go any way. I really thought they would keep FO&O and De Vet Du apart.
February 25, 20178 yr IDK, I feel like Loreen could get a fair heft of 'negative votes' against Anton - who is pretty much app vote bait if ever there was such a thing. I think Anton could equally get negative votes though - second rate boyband isn't exactly NOT resented as a genre.
February 25, 20178 yr Also now that Wild Child is on iTunes. How is Busy Doin' Nothing still not on UK iTunes.
February 25, 20178 yr So that means it was probably Boris 3rd De vet du 4th Lisa 3rd Dismissed 4th FO&O 3rd Anton 4th Loreen 3rd Axel 4th Because the reverse being true would be a bit ridiculous frankly. Only really surprised at De vet du being fourth but I guess they've got the Spotify momentum behind them now so they're the most likely to cause an upset.
February 25, 20178 yr Shitting hell! Other than Boris being a lock for the final, the other three could go any way. I really thought they would keep FO&O and De Vet Du apart. I don't think they had much choice. Looking at the pairings it seems they could have put De vet du with FO&O, Lisa or Loreen, so there wasn't really an obvious option
February 25, 20178 yr If Benjamin and Robin could add their songs to UK iTunes tonight that would be great.
February 25, 20178 yr 'Statements" is superb. But watching it, I felt the message was tangled up. Almost no focus on Loreen and the camera angles were too static. At its worst, it whiffed of arrogance, but I recognise it's sublime and with a little work, it'll sail through to the final and could still surprise in two weeks time. I'm pained she's up against HIM next week. Total salt in the wound. Now watch me stand corrected...
February 25, 20178 yr I agree Loreen needed to be a bit more subtle with the staging. It was a bit.... well, extra.
February 25, 20178 yr Euphoria to Statements is very much like going from The Fame Monster to ARTPOP in one fell swoop.
February 25, 20178 yr The camerawork on Statements was appalling. They needed to be having close-ups of Loreen's face during emotive moments like the middle eight, not whole scene shots which completely drained the connection.
February 25, 20178 yr Euphoria to Statements is very much like going from The Fame Monster to ARTPOP in one fell swoop. Going from WORLD-CHANGING MOMENT to WORLD-CHANGING MOMENT!

February 25, 20178 yr I've had 'STATEMENTS' (if ever a title needed caps on during the title, it's this one!) on repeat from my hournies to and from town and I'm really struggling to see how she "only" managed 3rd at best? Honestly trying to see it objectively. Lol. I thought the performance was incredible! Maybe I need a rewatch though, as I was definitely a blind stan at that point!
February 25, 20178 yr But watching it, I felt the message was tangled up. Almost no focus on Loreen and the camera angles were too static. Bam.
February 26, 20178 yr Most songs are available on Spotify for me in Canada. ^_^ Just missing Jon Henrik Fjällgren, Robin Bengtsson and De Vet Du from what I want to hear.
February 26, 20178 yr I think it was just too full on, and too out there, because in Melfest it's REALLY hard to get away with that :( I thought being such a powerful performance it would transcend that and make it anyway, but maybe with an AC perf it will hit everyone and grow and go on to win? PLEASE (still being a blind stan) At this point, if it can't be Statements, it HAS to be As I Lay Me Down. 100%.
