Marcus & Martinus although sounds just as dated as Danny’s song… this is the clear winner of the contest. That was unforgettable. Miles above everyone else and I was not a fan last year. Great job boys!

 

I’m reluctantly watching the rest of the heat, but I have to say overall, the quality this year was VERY high! A lot of gems, a few fumbles but overall quite a high quality. However, quite predictable who was going to the Final in each heat so it makes it a chore to watch, in my opinion.

 

Que Sera: WHAT A BOP. I loved “In i dimman” and I thought this was just a bit too sweet for me, but fantastic performance.

Yes, a very clear top two here of Marcus and Martinus and Medina. The latter is irresistibly catchy, and a great fun performance.

 

The former sounds big in Melodifestivalen terms - the obvious winner, and the production and staging is great. The melody is maybe not quite as big as I thought it would be and I'm not convinced it's going to do as well at Eurovision as they think it will. It feels very reminiscent of Benjamin Ingrosso's 'too slick for it's own good' low televote/high jury score style.

 

I like Annika's song too, she has an amazing voice. Feels like a late 00s entry though.

I vote Sweden just send the A*Teens Medley or this Kempe Medley.

Gosh at how close Annika just ran Medina there...

 

She could take one of the final two spots in the final then over Gunilla/Fröken Snusk/Scarlet (presumably).

Where did they get the first set of points from?

I was asking the same thing :blink:

I was thinking it might be something g to do with the amount of votes they got in the semi??

Shocked this beat Gunilla and Scarlet

 

She has arrived.

WTF Sweden.

 

Froken Snusk should have won the full thing

They didn't both tie on 235???

Wtf!

 

I am the only one thinking Jay Smith and Annika had a huge advantage performing earlier tonight?

Completely ludicrous. The best song in here, and the No.1 in Sweden, not making the final because of the recency bias of voters going for songs they've literally just heard an hour ago, and in about four recaps since.

 

They cannot keep the second chance tacked onto the final round next year, it's completely unfair on the songs from earlier weeks.

This format dosn't work, bring back 4 heats with 7/8 artists and andra chansen!

Yip that simply didn’t work with the two heat 5 songs going through

Also, Annika winning the second chance round? If she'd been in the first week there's absolutely no way she'd have been close to getting through.

 

Oh well, at least Fröken got a No.1 single out of it by being up in an earlier week and not making the final.

 

Annika and Jay...over Fröken, Scarlet, Gunilla... :drama:

Jacqline needs to win this now.

Reading swedish newspapers right now, the reason jay smith won the tiebreaker with fröken snusk is because he got the most votes tonight....

That makes sense but did we ever establish where those first votes came from?

It's even crueller that she got the same points as Jay.

 

They should give her a wildcard and a 13th spot in the final. It's just ridiculous to not have the country's No.1 single in the final, when it did well enough to be remembered from a month ago to tie with songs performed this evening.
