This heat is slightly better than the first two, but nothing groundbreaking tbh. I sort of like Clara - the verses were good, but the chorus was a letdown. So no clear favorite for me yet.

 

[Realest]

Jacqeline is the best here.
But Mary Sue remains my Fav here.

 

[Sammy]

This years winner HAS to be in another Semifinal. At least I hope so.

Very disappointing second heat. Not a single memorable song let alone a good one. The winner HAS to be in a later semi…

This years edition feels like an endless déjà vue... The winner HAS to be...
Ok - I'm done.

Gunilla will be the first melfest competitor to get a gunillion points

 

[FabiESC]

01 Jacqline – Effortless 9/10
02 Kim Cesarion – Take My Breath Away 8/10
03 Gunilla Persson – I Won’t Shake (La La Gunilla) 7/10
04 Cazzi Opeia – Give My Heart A Break 6/10
05 Klaudy - För dig 5/10
06 Clara Klingenström - Aldrig mer 5/10

I would say this is so far the best heat. Jacqline definitely is my fave, great song. Kim's song is also good, but i need to hear the full version, maybe then it will grow. Gunilla is fun and entertaining, i like it. Cazzi song is sweet, but nothing more. Klaudy & Clara are ok, but not my thing.

My prediction:

F Kim Cesarion
F Jacqline
-
3rd Clara Klingenström
4th Cazzi Opeia
-
5th Gunilla Persson
6th Klaudy

In my opinion, this heat is the best so far. There's still nothing to write home about but it feels slightly more competitive than the other two heats (minues the performance of Maria Sur).

The snippets of the songs by Jacquilne and Klaudy are teh most interesting ones, imo but I guess that Klaudy has no chance to advance to the final.

I still hope for more daring and interesting and competitive entries in the last two heats, though.

 

[Fluke]

Incredibly lame bunch of songs this week, written mostly by the same bunch too. I noticed four, if not five using wordless "o-o-o" parts as a major part of it, and pretty much repeating the same chord progression all the time.

Gunilla might have a decent chance at DTF here. I expected the vocals to be more expressive, the loud-funny kind of bad rather than bland mumbling, disappearing behind the backing vocals. I see it becoming a minor radio hit either way.

Jacqline's song has interesting production, really curious to see the staging, but the melody is way to repetitive and has one of these annoying o-o-o parts.

The rest i can't even tell. Clara's number 2 with a song in Swedish, so she's probably out, and Klaudy's the obvious filler here, though it's not that different from the other songs. Kim Cesarion has another bland entry in the same genre i can barely find anything to say about. Cazzi Opeia seems like she has the best chance at DTF this week, but the song is still similar to the others, so it may only end up 3rd or 4th.

I'll probably bet, and root for Gunilla and Jacqline.

My favorite is Clara and Kim Cesarion but I predict:

DtF - Jacqline and Cazzi Opeia

Semifinal - Gunilla and Clara

Elim - Kim and Klaudy

 

[Sammy]

I‘m for Klaudy. Just because he‘s the only act where the credits for the song are shorter than two lines.

Jacqline may have a dance break. The dula pipa is dula piping. I hope she wins the semi.

Clara C very similar to previous entry, but it works.

Now that we have the chorus, Kim Cesarion's song sounds so hollow. No oomf whatsoever.

Klaudy also very nice. I just dont know what chances he has :/

The jarring diference between the songs Cazzi Opeia sings/writes... If I watched that clip in mute I would never guess she's singing a song as mild as that.

Jacqeline and Cazzi DTF.

 

[AlekS]

My least fave semi.


Praying that Dotter will slay those M&Ms like:

 

[Dessi]

Best semi!
I like all songs except Gunilla's.

There was a dance break, but it looked quite weird on camera during yesterday's rehearsal. Hopfully they've rehearsed the camera angles more till tomorrow.

There appears to be an error here as gunilla should have gunnillion votes

 

[Dessi]

Kim is superior, Jacqline and Cazzi Opeia right after...

This year is so sleepy. Smash, Klingenström, Liamoo and Cazzi all brought worse versions of their previous songs.

I'm sceptical of Dotter bringing a good enough song to win after Little Flop. And Medina saying their song this time is more happy and party makes me think people won't view them as an actual serious contender.

So it seems to me that the main hope against the Norwegian invaders is Danny.

FINALLY a heat I sort of care about. Jacqline seems to have THE hit. I know I'm gonna be grooving to it Effortless sounds and looks great. Gunilla promises Countess Luann on a budget so you know I'm gonna be here for that. I can't help it. Look at those cowboy dancers go. Then there's the cutie Kim who seems to have a pretty decent song too.

Clara though is a big disappointment to me. I loved Behöver inte dig idag at the time but Aldrig mer seems very bland by comparison. I'm not into it at all. I'm undecided on Give My Heart A Break but I doubt I'll hate it. I do fear it has the potential to irritate so I'm being hesitant. För dig is simply not for me.
