Really? -.- Really Sweden? Sean Banan (Copacabanana) to the final? I'm gonna have to watch that thing live? *puking*

Second finalist is Louise Hoffsten (Only The Dead Fish Follow The Stream). Now that was a surprise! I don't really mind her but there were better songs than this.

To andra chansen: Anton Ewald with "Begging" and Erik Segerstedt & Tone Damli with "Hello Goodbye".

5. "Make Me No 1" – Felicia Olsson
6. "On Top of the World" – Swedish House Wives
7. "En förlorad sommar" – Rikard Wolff
8. "Annelie" – Joacim Cans

Sad for SHW! :( I wanted them at least in ac!

Liked it a lot that Hanson, Carson and Malmkvist made a comeback. But Danny next time do your homework. They entered mello together in 2004 not 2005!

Oh I can't say anything else right now. I'm watching the MGP final! Go Margaret!

Melodifestivalen 2013 - Rehearsals of the second semi

Today's rehearsals can be found here.

Anton Ewald - Begging
Was he singing? It looked like it was a playback. Maybe because it was just a rehearsal... I like the choreo and the song. But I don't like that "aauuuu". Sounds like a wolf.

Felicia Olsson - Make Me No1
Oh God. Those lyrics... Don't like 'em. And I'm not a fan of the song either...

Erik Segerstedt & Tone Damli - Hello Goodbye
I like the chorus. It's quite nice but from this one minute, the chorus is the only part I like. I need to listen to the entire song.

Swedish House Wives - On Top Of The World
Rooting like hell for them! Did you expect me not to? Especially now that I heard the song and I like it a lot! Love their name! Hahaha And if you simply call them SHW you actually have the initials of their last names. Awesome! Haha!

Joacim Cans - Annelie
Wow. Ok I wasn't expecting this by Joacim. I was expecting a hard rock song. Definitely not that. It's not bad actually and I like that he sings in swedish but yeah. Not something I would listen.

Louise Hoffsten - Only The Dead Fish Follow The Stream
Oh that title! I can't say a lot here. It's just the chorus... But I like what I hear actually. Maybe not for the ESC though. Weird staging...

Rikard Wolff - En Förlorad Sommar
The sleeping pill of week no2! Don't like it. At all.

Sean Banan - Copacabanana
Oh such an original melody! Don't you agree? I so dislike him! He's annoying and disgusting! And of course I don't like the song! I hope we don't get to see him in the final! I really don't want to experience this live!

7. Pernilla Wahlgren, Hanna Hedlund, Jenny Silver – On Top Of The World (Peter Boström, Thomas G:son)
8. Louise Hoffsten – Only The Dead Fish Follow The Stream (Louise Hoffsten, Sandra Bjurman, Stefan Örn)

There are quite a lot names that I've never heard before. I can't say a lot right now coz I need to listen to the songs first. If we just see the artists, I'm rooting like hell right now for Pernilla, Hanna and Jenny! And judging by the composers (combined with the artists) it's safe to say we're talking about a schlager song! Yay! :D 

I'm also interested in David Lindgren's song since I love "Shout It Out". 

You guys should google Yohio! Personally I don't like him (her?) at all. Well he's an interesting person (I watched an interview) but I don't like his music.

Then we have a comeback for Cookies N Beans. I can't say I'm a big fan of "What If" but sometimes I enjoy it... When I'm in the country mood. It's weird but I see that the Swedes really enjoy country and rockabilly music...

Oh I'm also interested in Erik Segerstedt and Tone Damli's duet! And it's more interesting that the song is written by Måns Zelmerlöw, among others. I've never heard of Tone before but when was the last time we saw, well heard, a duet by two young singers? No, Lotta and Christer aren't young!

Joakim Cans is 2013's Dead by April I guess. xD It's good to have a variety of genres. Even if his style is not my cup of tea.

Finally let me puke coz I saw Sean Banan's name there. Eeew!!


These are my comments for now. The rest of the artists will be revealed next Monday at 10:00 CET. And I have a full schedule that day as well. -.-
