I don't even want to comment the fact that Björn Ranelid made it to the final! I'm gonna have to watch that thing live! At least Sara Li saves the situation. Not entirely though. Hope Ranelid gets sick or something and he skips the final. Yeah right!

On the other hand I am really happy for Molly Sandén!! She made it to Globen! :D Yay!

Youngblood and Andreas Johnson to andra chansen. Meh to both of them!

5th place - Mattias Andréasson. Just wow Sweden. You left him out? Seriously?
6th place - Love Generation. Well no surprise here. Their song wasn't that strong.
7th place - Carolina Wallin Pérez. I liked her song! And just because she sang Kent she was high on my list! :P
8th place - Maria BenHajji. I liked her song too but she was way to nervous!


Ok Sweden! That's all for tonight! Thank you once again for these CRAPPY RESULTS! :)

Now do the most stupid thing in the entire Eurovision's history and send Ranelid to Baku! Come on! Do it! -.-

LOREEN TO BAKU!!!!

Melodifestivalen 2012 - Snippets of the first rehearsals - Semi 3 Leksand

1. Youngblood - Youngblood
LOL! Hahahahahaha This is "Manboy" vol 2!! Oh my God! I really don't like this Kempe project! Big dislike!

2. I Mina Drömmar - Maria BenHajji 
The webjoker. It's the first time I hear this and I kinda like it but nothing much.

3. Förlåt Mig - Mattias Andréasson 
Hm... I don't know... An ok-ish song. Mattias has to get just one breath to sing the entire verse. Tricky. But ok... I guess he'll make it to the final because of the tween girls. Fine by me, I don't really care.

4. Just A Little Bit - Love Generation 
Meh. "Dance Alone" was better. Nothing much again and since they're not so popular I don't see them getting that far.

5. Sanningen - Carolina Wallin Pérez
An ok song but not the song that can get you to ESC's final. Let alone get in the top 5.

6. Lovelight - Andreas Johnson 
Ok so last year he claimed that A Friend In London from Denmark "stole" his "Sing For Me" and finished 5th in ESC with "New Tomorrow"and now he decided to enter Melodifestivalen. I guess he thinks since AFIL finished 5th with one of "his" songs, he can do it as well. I don't like the song. I can't stand his I-wanna-sound-like-an-american accent!

7. Why Am I Crying - Molly Sandén 
I liked what I heard but again nothing much. I knew it was going to be a ballad (or whatever. low tempo song) so I didn't get my hopes high. The Molly we all know.

8. Mirakel - Björn Ranelid feat. Sara Li 
Oh my God! Ranelid ruins the entire song! It's crap! Sara Li's part sounds nice but eew! Kick Ranelid out please!


Shit! This semi is worse than last week's! What the hell is going on? Of course that's quite good. Loreen's chances are going higher and higher! Please prevent the tween girls from voting the night of the final! Don't let them ruin Sweden's victory ONCE AGAIN!

LOREEN TO BAKU!

Ok first of all I missed the press conference so I don't know what happened with the song "Porslin"... We have 32 artists but no song entitled "Porslin". No idea what happened but I'll find out.
Secondly, no Magnus Carlsson... Then we have a few artists I like... Nah semis 1 and 2 are better. In semis 3 and 4 I'm rooting for Perrelli and Danny so far. The rest will depend on the songs.

So... Afro-Dite, Andreas Lundstedt, Loreen, Timoteij, Sonja Aldén, Charlotte Perrelli and Danny to Globen! I leave the last 3 spots to be filled by you. Choose whoever you want. Just send those 7 to Globen!

Don't you think so? ;) Thomas Di Leva, Sonja Aldén, The Moniker, Andreas Johnson, Ulrik Munther, Danny Saucedo, Timoteij, Molly Sandén, Hanna Lindblad/Linda Sundblad, Lili & Susie, Mattias Andréasson and Lisa Miskovsky . Also I know that the song "Salt & Pepper" will be performed by Afro-Dite!!!!!!!!! Can you imagine how EXTATIC I am about this?! AFRO-DITE!! My all time favourite swedish entry! The girls are back! And yeah yeah I know they're old and blah blah blah but I don't care if they represent Sweden or not! It's enough for me that they will enter Melodifestivalen! I just want them in the final so I can see them in Globen live!! AAAAAAAH!!!!

Also that Sean Banan...I have no idea who he/she is but that name is also in the title of the song so I suppose it's the same person who will perform it. Abalone Dots...they're probably a group since the names are in parenthesis so it's possible that they will be the performers as well but I don't know. And I have a feeling that Michael Sideridis will also be the performer. 

And I see the old Melodifestivalen "dogs" again. I'm happy for some of them since I love schlager but let's hope Sweden will vote for the right song this year.

LOL at my last sentence!

EDIT: I didn't comment RedOne! So the team is back huh? Hope they're wise enough to give their song to someone good! And yes, someone who's popular! Last year they should have given "Dance Alone" to Velvet!!! I can't think of anyone else that could have performed this better than Jenny!
