Yasssss, amazing for Dotter! Fantastic to see it DTF after what happened to her last time.

 

Wish Klara had been through over Paul Rey though.

 

Wow, Sweden really NOT lining up to send a male for once? :o

two redemption arcs in one week?!! we stan

The right two songs went through, definitely. Can see these on repeat for me.

 

And glad we get the Mendez song tonight *.* <3

Come thru ladies!!! *.*

 

I think Anna really has a shot this time but I've got the best feeling about Hana Ferm, but ofc we'll see how she goes in a couple of weeks!

Dotter is brilliant (loved Cry but understood why it didn’t cut through). Bulletproof needs just a touch more elevation, but it’s absolute jury cat nip. I don’t particularly care for Anna... sorry.

Anna's song is fantastic and I'm so glad she got DTF! I'd say it's one to watch.

 

Dotter is also a great qualifier. Such simple staging but so effective. Delighted for both!

Loved Ashes to Ashes last year but Kingdom Come is just so so good. Really hope she can go all the way this year. Think Anna won that semi. Loved Dotter too

Of all the heats that I had to be at work during!!!

 

I can't believe that after previous events, it's Anna Bergendahl and Dotter of all people to break the 'no two female acts DTF since 2009' curse, but I'm delighted for them, it must mean so much.

 

I'm glad that Dotter came back for revenge because I thought "Cry" was so underrated and didn't deserve to crash straight out, but her vocal and performance was a lot more polished this time.

i can't believe my fave 2 actually went direct to the final. they're normally ac and 5th haha.

iconic.

Finally I have the opportunity to watch this, so excited (not) to see it!

Klara is already much better than Zara, the outmost flop. We should start planning for a Klara album, not a flop Zara one.

"Bepansrade hjärtan är svar, lämnat mig kvar" - G:sons favourite lyric.

 

Jan Johansen is such a media whore lol. He and Anna Book are basically the same, so I guess if they couldn't get HER they got HIM. How awful.

 

And yeah, Torsten was clearly made to sing this. Still wouldn't have saved the crap song.

I'm still thinking about when the dancers jumped out of the dark during Anna's performance. So simple but so effective!

Dotter (Daughter) I know she went on to the finals because, well it was all over the löpsedlar here. She has a very long face.

Vamos Amigos is like Spanish. Sweden does reggae which almost always goes wrong... and this is certainly proof of that. Proof that the saying "Skomakare, bliv vid din läst" is true.

Oh, this mid-scene is sort of funny - "Det var inte näthat jag har beställt, det var en näthatt" - ((inter)net hate and net hat is similar sounding in Swedish, I bet 99% of those watching didn't get this)

And yeah it is VERY Gothenburgian humour, which is VERY pun based, again, non-Swedish peeps do not get this.

 

I remember when Linda first started competing. Poor dear, she didn't get direct to finals this year either. She KNOWS her audience and bless her. "Girl friends will sing this on a night out" - amazing commentary.

 

OMG, she might as well have called this "For All My Gays" - this is amazing, super camp, super schlager supreme.

Who the hell is Paul Ray?

 

Power ballad, who wants that? I'm sure there are several forum members who LOVE this sort of power ballad and I hate them all without exception.

 

--- Okay this is better than I thought. You can grab his ears ifyouknowwhatimean.

Annas redemption!

 

"Building on a theory"... this is huge! I actually heard this on radio when out the other day? Her kingdom has come, it's her final to lose. She's rocking it.

Anna is basically a winner, isn't she? Go on, beat her other deltävlingar.

Kingdom Come is REALLY good and I think it'd really stand out at Eurovision. I have my doubts Sweden would dare to send her but I think it'd do great.
