Carpool Karaoke as Nanne's song title is equally iconic and horrific.

 

No Renaida but Mariette for the 23rd time sighhhh

 

At least no Bishara!

A few really great returnees (and Felix Sandman, plus the title Boys With Emotions sounds like a cartoon parody of boybands), ofc that means some of them are going to bomb which is always interesting/fun/devastating :lol: I didn't think of the Dotter/Janet parallel, I could feasibly see that.

Felix's last couple of singles (MIDDLE OF NOWHERE and MOOD FOR YOU) have been two of his best yet, he's really hit his stride so I've got high expectations for this!!

 

Jakob Karlberg too *.* that TARO Bellamia impact!!

am I seeing things or is Felix actually releasing a song with a title that’s NOT in caps lock?

It's in caps according to his label on Twitter

I'm really pleasantly surprised with what's to come next year! Seems like a very fresh, clean year to come.

 

Heat One is a bloodbath. I was not a fan of Malou last year, but her album is sensational. Felix and The Mamas are very welcomed in my eyes. However, I'm surprised that Robin Bengtsson is doing this again so soon. I don't think he's a shoe in to do well at all.

 

Heat Two. Another bloodbath. Linda, Dotter, Anna, Mendez/Alvaro. Wow. I'm really proud of Anna - she did fantastic last year. I'm glad she's inspired to do this again.

 

Heat Three seems to be the weakest, but somehow always ends up being one of the strongest heats. I love Mariette but 'For You' was incredibly cheesy and performed poorly. Mohombi did great last year, it was an ear-worm for sure but it lost any appeal after 2 or 3 listens. He's got something to him, but let's hope they gave him a song that works.

 

Heat Four and I'm excited. I'm glad Hanna is doing this solo, the only time I've heard her sing was Hold You and that was a terrible song for them both to sing together. She was very... shouty. Nanne - this will be my first time seeing her on the TV Performing live in Melfest, excited! Ellen and Victor as well.. amazing!

 

I was really worried we were going to get some rejects from last year ie. High15, Anton Hagman, Rebecka Karlsson where you know they just aren't going to do well but it's a familiar face. I'm also happy they didn't give us the predictable Arvingarna, Bishara, Dolly Style, Nano and Margaret. The latter three really need to take a step back and try again in a few years. I know Nano has done impressively well with his entries, but I'm tired of the predictability.

Robin Bengtsson, Anna Bergendahl, Mendez, Mariette and Victor Crone all invoking a lot of excitement from me but I'm SO excited to see what Malou Prytz brings because her output in 2019 has been SO GOOD! I loved her 2019 entry but also subsequent singles Left & Right and If It Ain't Love which are bops to the nth degree!

Anna Bergendahl – “Kingdom Come” 134 votes (10.2%)

Mohombi – “Winners” 31 votes (2.4%)

Mariette – “Shout It Out” 14 votes (1.1%)

T minus 1 hour until the final broadcast. I haven't had the spare time to do a proper write up but y'all know all of these songs anyway!

 

My prediction is that The Mamas will do better than people think and could be an upset to the big three of Dotter/Anna/Hanna but ultimately I think Dotter will get the ultimate Redemption arc of Melfest 2020 and get the win. Anis is going to get the biggest bounce out of Andra Chansen and will probably be top 3/5 with the public vote but will likely get a pittance from the International Juries which will hold him back from going too far up the leaderboard. My other prediction is that if 'Bulletproof' wins then Sweden will be top 3 in Rotterdam and potentially in contention to win #Dotterdam

 

Prediction:

 

01 Dotter

02 Hanna Ferm

03 The Mamas

04 Anna Bergendahl

05 Paul Rey

06 Anis Don Demina

07 Felix Sandman

08 Mendez & Alvaro

09 Robin Bengtson

10 Victor Crone

11 Mohombi

12 Mariette
