[ESC United Mod Team]

 

[Mrm]

I will be looking for you in the crowd more than the acts

Maybe i will do Yihaaa dance to Dolly Style, so you will easily spot me!

 

[Mrm]

Fredrik Lundman – "The Heart of a Swedish Cowboy" is awesome...

I can see this DTF..mark my words...

And of course I'm here for it...

 

[tsegaye]

Klara Hammarström's song is good, but the performance is just too plain to make an impact.

 

[Ziko]

I think I completely forgot to write my rank last week, cause Sweden is always at a bottom of to-do-list with it's superoverrated Melfest. I will go with upcoming one now to put it on 'done' as fast as I can.
From the audio versions for heat #2 my rank is:
Nomi Tales – Funniest Thing /
Fredrik Lundman – The Heart of a Swedish Cowboy /
Erik Segerstedt – Show Me What Love Is /
Klara Hammarström – On and On and On /
Kaliffa – Salute /
Schlagerz – Don Juan / (middle finger to Sweden, cause I had to listen to this)

For last week songs that are still in a game my notes were: Maja , Lundvik , Meira (would be higher, but lines like "boom boom chiki chiki chiki" are always killing my spirit and faith in humanity; and live she was the worst singer). I'm not hoping for much from Sweden to fit in my taste, maybe just waiting for Scarlet.

Erik can show me what love is

Yeah, it's a bit better than last week but still bad. Doesn't match the actual good selections this season (Latvia, Portugal & Finland). There's so little creativity here. My favorites are Schlagerz and Klara and both have problems.

The former bring a Waterloo-ified remix of "Vem e de du vill ha", the latter a severly watered down EDM pulp track. Both fun, both hardly original.

And they're the best two. It's NOT good.

 

[AlekS]

So THAT's how he appeared in Melodifestivalen lineup

 

[Mrm]

From the rehearsal snippets, my fave snippet is Nomi Tales'
Fredrik Lundman didnt sound perfect..smth went wrong.. Hmmm.. I hope sound will be all right..

 

[njdevils94]

The Schlagerz grabbed a whopping 1.5 % of the press vote this afternoon. I didn't think you could even get that low when there are only 6 acts per heat.

There is a clear Top 2 if you go by the press poll.

 

[Mrm]

This year no results of the rehearsal audeince voting?

 

[Stargazer]

Love the 80s retro vibes.

 

[hunty73]

@Mrm needs Nomi in the final come on girl

 

[Stargazer]

Nomi Tales gets 12 points for her look, but the song is sadly a bit lacking for me. It's OK, but I'm not wowed by it.

Yes,looks like someone to come back in future with more competitive song

 

[Stargazer]

Bless proper schlager in MF! Can't help but enjoy Don Juan.

 

[Stargazer]

Really enjoy Erik's and Fredrik's songs as well.

 

[Stargazer]

YAY! At least one great song in the final! Now please the cowboy or the schlager girls. I'd be OK with Nomi Tales as well, as long as it's not Klara or Kaliffa.

 

[ArmpitOfEurope]

Ok swedish people this is getting ridiculous now, my girl Klara didnt dance on an ancient greek column and fell through a time magical gate just to lose to that annoyingly generic entry from that daddy

 

[Mainshow]

WOW - I didn't expect Erik to win this heat. The best song directly made it What a lovely surprise.
I hate "Salute" - I just hope that it won't take "Hush Hush Chiki Chiki" spot for the final

 

[Mrm]

Loosing Birgo is smth I took really emotional, almost personal, I'm chatting with her for weeks now and I felt it like my personal failure somehow..
But loosing Nomi Tales here also hurts me a lot! Especially when I watch it now again and again and even more after I saw who qualified DTF!
"Funniest thing" was so edgy, dreamy, beautiful, haunting...

I also loved Swedish cowboy
Hope for better qualifications next week...
