1st Dolly Style – YIHAA 10/10
2nd Angelino – Teardrop 6/10

3rd Malou Prytz – 24K Gold 6/10
---
4th Annika Wickihalder – Life Again 4/10
5th Greczula – Believe Me 2/10
6th Björn Holmgren – Rädda mig 1/10

So far Semi 2 was the best, this semi is a little bit weaker than last week. Love the Song from Dolly Style, my first full points in this years MF. I enjoy also the Songs from Angelino & Malou.


My Prediction

1st Malou Prytz
2nd Angelino
---
3rd Annika Wickihalder
---
4th Greczula
5th Dolly Style (Sadly, i didn't see this qualifier, but i hope i'm wrong)
6th Björn Holmgren

Wow. I don't like any of Heat 3's snippets so far Oo Björn won't be qualifying but it's the most interesting one for me.

So far, it's Erik for me.

Okay, so i haven't been posting on here as much as i should, because there's been a lot to take in for a Eurofan the last few days, but i'm gonna go through these first.

Greczula - not as good as i hoped. Even for a "radio-rock" song the accompaniement is wimpy, what's with these drums? I guess it can qualify, but aside from one guaranteed NQ it seems pretty open this week. And his name sounds like a variant of Duckula or Bunnicula...

Malou Prytz - Oh god, i absolutely HATE this artist and the utter depraved garbage she sent in her previous attempts, but this is not that bad. Can definitely qualify, but i don't think many will care if it doesn't.

Björn Holmgren - We knew what this would be just by the name and picture. Are you figgin serious? He might be very sincere and devoted to make this kind of music, but just, WHY. Why are the only young and unknown artists allowed in Melodifestivalen those who make guitar-strumming afternoon radio filler slop? WHERE is the god damn young urban pop, dance pop, R&B, and hip-hop acts?

These are the music genres MOST young musicians are making now. Yet in Melodifestivalen there are NEVER EVER any "real" artists from these genres, only half-assed attempts from the same Stockholm producers who manage everyone else. Why can't MF have ONE representant of the most popular music genres among youth?

You even acknowledged it by bringing in Hooja, as an interval act, why not as contestants? Because you're afraid they would win and there's some hidden policy that only certain genres of music should represent Sweden?

Anyway, we all know what's going to happen with this song, though given the results of the previous heats, he might not be last.

Dolly Style - Yeah, not much enthusiasm from most people here for this one either, but with this (weak) competition, they could make the final. Not exited, not at all.

Angelino - I genuinely had hopes for this, but it's too weak and bland. I see this getting a bottom placement.

Annika Wickihalder - First off, i got a grudge against her for stealing the wildcard slots to the final (along with that bro-country from American Song Contest) from Scarlet and Fröken Snusk, with a very mid entry, but that wasn't her fault. This seems okay and kind of engaging. I can see it being really good live, and going to the final, but then, i had the same feeling about Linnea and she ended up last, so i wouldn't count on it.

Basically the qualifiers can be anyone in any order except Björn, and i won't care much either way. I just HOPE, goddammit, that Måns won't win in the final, or John Lundvik it would just be so boring, i'd take literally anyone over these two, or Arvingarna. Really hoping for Scarlet to knock everyone out though.

Here, my rank for Heat 3. Nothing to say more, just Sweden being vague and blant as always.
1️⃣ Greczula – Believe Me 4️⃣/🔟
2️⃣ Malou Prytz – 24K Gold 4️⃣/🔟
3️⃣ Angelino – Teardrops 4️⃣/🔟
4️⃣ Annika Wickihalder – Life Again 2️⃣/🔟
5️⃣ Björn Holmgren – Rädda mig 2️⃣/🔟 (who else hears "Narcotic" by Liquido in those whistles?)
6️⃣ Dolly Style – Yihaa 1️⃣/🔟

I love Melodifestivalen. An act that has already won in the internal selection is included in a national festival. We will definitely have Måns. They will play the nostalgia card + former ESC champion + already known character like with Looren. With this we will have to put up with Måns as a guest of the next ESC until 2038.

Can we also take a moment of pause and reflect that Tusse and the Debs recylced ideas from *themselves*, because Teardrops sounds like a shittier Voices.

Weakest heat so far for me. There's not one song here that I could say I really like. A couple are maybe more tolerable and OK than the rest, but nothing that I desperately want to see in the final.

This isn't *awful* but it's much too "celebrated songwriter composes a Best Original Song Oscar nominee for a lesser Disney film in the mid-2000s" for me

Tragic that this perfectly adequate, even catchy song has been given to M*l** Pr*tz
