January 16, 20214 yr I’m sure Danny will go DTF, and depending on what Jessica’s song is like I feel she could be the ‘shock’ 5th place with Paul Rey sneaking ahead of her into AC. Hope not though as I love her!
January 16, 20214 yr I’m sure Danny will go DTF, and depending on what Jessica’s song is like I feel she could be the ‘shock’ 5th place with Paul Rey sneaking ahead of her into AC. Hope not though as I love her! Under the old system of pure votes, I could well imagine Danny going DTF, but with the new age group system, I think (and hope!) the oldies groups will all douze Jess and send her direkt.
January 16, 20214 yr I will be absolutely flabbergasted if Danny doesn't go DTF. I love Jessica but she feels much more like an AC/Shock 5th.
January 17, 20214 yr I don't think Danny's music is as "young" aiming as it was previously, so I wouldn't rule out it appealing to all ages.
January 17, 20214 yr JessAn's also competing for those older age group votes with Arvingarna so that's not exactly a solid strategy Danny's a tricky one to predict before hearing the song given that his current musical output hasn't got him a commercial hit in Sweden since 2016 so...idk?
January 17, 20214 yr From Danny I'm expecting something sonically in the vein of his recent material but...with more of a melody/hook. I suspect if he'd tried to submit one of his slow jams in a competitive scenario one of his team would have intervened. It definitely won't be anything like In The Club/Amazing, and will clearly not be one for the kids, who I expect Kadiatou's song will do well with, so I agree - without hearing anything - at that DTF prediction. But I think his name and probably a strong song will keep him ahead of Jess and Arvingarna. Paul Rey is the wildcard - completely depends on his song, if it's bigger than last year he could very well go DTF, but if it's not a great song then he'll struggle to get past Jess and Arvingarna.

February 2, 20214 yr Before Melfest really kicks off... This Eurotix Song was initially intended for Alcazar to compete with for Melodifestivalen, but instead was given to another artist and placed last in their heat. The song?: Kom Ut Som En Stjärna Having issues with the Embedding - so just incase, the song is Eurotix - Love Take Me Higher.
February 4, 20214 yr Clips are out. Very underwhelming heat. Based on the clips, my thoughts: DTF: Danny/Arvingarna AC: Paul Rey/Kadiatou 5th: Jessica 6th: Lillasyster 7th: Nathalie The winner isn't in this bunch and all I see are white men that will go DTF. You could easily swap Arvingarna and Paul. Disappointed with Jessica's entry. Weak song. Hopefully the performance can move it up a few notches.
February 4, 20214 yr The clips have just re-affirmed my strong feeling that Kadiatou is going to be a 5th place fan fave, it sounds like the blueprint of that type of song :lol:
February 4, 20214 yr Kadiatou's sounds a little bit Jax Jones No.37 smash. Jessica's sounds decent to me, and like something that will sound way better with the gospel build in the whole song. Danny's song is good enough and will probably be a big hit in Sweden, but it doesn't sound like a winner. I know he's more here for promotional reasons than necessarily aiming for a Eurovision spot though. Nathalie's sounds quite pleasant but I'd need to hear more of it. None of the others grabbed me from the clips.
February 4, 20214 yr Given how much I raved about Amazing, and as much as I was aware this would be nothing like it given the direction he's gone in the last 6/7 years, Dandi Dansa sounds pretty weak and I do feel disappointed. Kadiatou's song sounds SO GOOD though, I agree that it's very Jax Jones.
February 4, 20214 yr Rehearsal clips are out. Ouch. Poor Kadiatou, that was rough. However, happy to move Jessica into her AC slot with my predictions above. Thank f***. Edited February 4, 20214 yr by Aaron.
February 4, 20214 yr Danny's song is incredibly underwhelming. I love him but man that deserves to DNQ tbh.
February 5, 20214 yr Arvingarna sounds great and uplifting, hope they can get some love onside for a Direkt qualification. Hopefully with Fingerprints, that sounds very good and I've heard good things from the rehearsals (Paul Rey sounds like trash but unfortunately trash that'll do well and it's what I'm expecting to knock one of those two out). Lillayster might need some time, there's something of a good song in there but I don't think that'll come through very well on the stage. I can sorta vibe with what Danny's doing actually, would probably prefer it to Lillyaster, but I'd call Andra Chansen at best. Unless Sweden really has a lot of goodwill towards him.
February 5, 20214 yr Author I can't see past Arvingarna winning the heat based on all the clips. It's very "Angel Eyes" by ABBA and I can't unhear it now it's been pointed out to me. DTF: Arvingarna/Danny AC: Jessica/Kadiatou 5th: Paul Rey 6th: Nathalie 7th: Lillasyster Jessica and Danny could swap but I'm basing it on his name and previous success and Jessica's song being good but no "Party Voice". Calling Paul as the 'shock' 5th/exit as from the clip to me, it's not as good as "Talking In My Sleep" and that only came 4th in his heat last year followed by him robbing Malou in AC so Kadiatou gets lucky ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
