Oh man, Air is such a nice song with a great staging but Marcus & Martinus are so off-putting as artists tbh... I especially don't like their voices at all.

Tattoo has grown on me, but thank god for the lyric video, because I had no idea what she was saying during the 2nd verse.


Also Kiana performing 8th next week Kiana you will always be famous

Semi 4 saved MF for me. I support 7 songs:

Smash Into Pieces "Six Feet Under"
Loreen "Tattoo"
Wiktoria "All My Life (Where Have You Been)"
Elov & Beny "Raggen går"
Kiana "Where Did You Go"
Mariette "One Day"
Theoz "Mer av dig"

"Six Feet Under" is well worthy of being my winner. And because one of the composers, Linnea Deb is so diligently updating her own wikipedia page, (i assume it's her, but i don't have any proof ) I can tell you that this is 12th time that i loved one of her songs the most. 5 of which are from Sweden.

The biggest suprise for me is of course liking Loreen. I'm glad she found the middle ground between being too artsy fartsy for my taste while simultaneously singing the mainstream pop song that actually has rhythm.

Wiktoria entered the competition with the least competitive entry so far, but she still managed to stay in my top 3. But please, come back stronger.

Now let's see how i would determine the qualifiers... i want to give some credit to the songs that may not fully be my cup of tea, but are still worthy of being noticed.

More views than Paul Rey who went dtf.

Do we know what the stage invader was protesting about exactly?

Initially I thought it could be an anti-NATO protestor of Kurdish origin, which made so much sense to me, but apparently it's a climate activist

WHERE DID YOU GO? WHERE DID YOU GO? WHERE DID YOU GO? WHERE DID YOU GO?

I do think there might be a (hopefully) small margin of people that your comment actually applies to and those need to check their bias.

But a very loud one… #cinannoactuallymostoftheguysfromwiwibloggs

That would make more sense (although still wrong) because Loreen is one of the greenest individuals in Melfest

I like it a lot. Song, execution etc.
BUT - to be honest, this feels like an interval act, not an actual participant. If this was to perform last I‘d guess the show is over and we‘re waiting for the voting.

I know this might be a heretic opinion to all
the worshippers of her majesty, but none of the acts of this year - I repeat: NONE - comes even close to Cornelia.
So i said it - go on and roast me.

my personal winner of semi 4.

If Loreen wins we will have the best Scandinavian trio (Norway, Sweden, Finland) ever I think, with Reiley being a good act too.

Obsessed with her

Exactly! I actually kind of like the song, but not their voices at all. If it will be a showdown between them and Loreen, I have no idea who to keep my fingers crossed for. I can understand both parties, but as a song I prefer "Air", I think.

You are not alone, Sammy. I adored Cornelia and this year everything seems very superficial.
