EASILY the best performance/song so far by far. Lisa Ajax saving the night.

Great performance but vastly prefer Six Feet Under. Also, was it me or was the heart barely on fire?

Lisa Ajax easily had the best performance tonight.

SIP song is a downgrade from last year.

Elisa cannot be eliminated tonight please

Love the throwback to Melodifestivalen 2008 with the inclusion of Björn Gustafsson. The script is not as cringey as it was last year, and I think having just one host works much better.

Melfest getting worse and worse, that semi was dreadful. I only liked the blonde mama with the schlager hah
Also, were Six feet under singing the same song with last year? Coz I'd swear they were.

This has to be one of the worst Melfest shows ever

Okay, so Smash Into Pieces was pretty obvious finalists here. I think they can absolutely win MF. So many think it's time for Sweden to finally send a rock band, the only one we ever really sent was The Ark in 2007, and that wasn't really rock.

The song was okay. I can see a lot of potential to revamp, however Sweden doesn't usually do that. I would have liked sharper drums, louder, more rhythmic guitars and some kind of "breakdown" part near the end. The staging was really good and appropriate, with some slight touches it could turn out amazing in ESC. There's still some contenders to win in the remaining semis, of course...

Adam Woods - very generic and anonymous, actually surprised at how professional the production felt musically and visually, but he didn't seem to belong on stage. The MF rule of plastic clothes=NQ remains, obviously.

Samir & Viktor - just horrible in every way. Bad vocals, amateurish stage presence, weak and disjointed song. Staging looked pretty cool though, they could have used that for a better song. I really hope this is their last attempt, they contribute nothing and i'm glad they're completely out.

Melinda Borglowe - forgettable song, very thin vocals, amateurish appearance.

Elisa Lindström - A bit disappointing actually, even though i wouldn't have liked it anyway, i thought she was a shoe-in for a certain segment of the voters, but her vocals weren't steady, the staging looked tacky, especially the skin paint that looked like some gross skin disease, and the song just felt too mass produced.

Lisa Ajax - Surprisingly good actually. Best vocals and staging of the night, very classy use of colors, dancers and background images. Vocals were absolutely on the spot, but i still don't like the song. It's a disjointed mish-mash of radio pop cliches with no memorable hook, but i can see why she made it over the others.

And then the overall presentation.... good god, i forget every year how bad and cringy the in-between bits are. I'm gonna say this was the WORST, but then i don't really want to remember how bad previous years were. If it goes on like this, i don't look forward to 6 weeks of this.

And ABBA covers as an interval act, what a brave and original choice!

Smash Into Pieces entry is a huge downgrade compared to last year. Six Feet Under is i think in my Top 10 favourite NF entries of all time but Heroes Are Calling is just not that competitive. I hope Sweden has something better in store please ..

The very little amount of comments in this Sweden thread shows how much we definitely do not care anymore for Melodifestivalen, especially in the beginning. Other countries are proposing far more competitive national finals and, might I say, far less predictable.
Obviously hoping for some better songs in the coming heats, Dotter, Clara, I especially look at you, but it's a bit of a sad disgrace if we look what was this show like 6/7 years ago.

I think it's really time that Sweden will send a rock song. SIP is not the most original rockband, but the song is an earworm and could do well at ESC. Please Sweden do not send another bland polished song, give us a surprise!
