Melodifestivalen 2014 - Deltävling 3: PARTY IN OUR UNDERWEAR!

Welcome to the Melodifestivalen 2014/3rd semifinal post:

Då kör vi!!!!

1.Echo - Outtrigger 

LOVE THEM! They are very talented and you can see that on stage! Very strong song and their energy on stage was great! Maybe the whole act was too scary for the normal public but i definitely think they deserve to go to the final! So vote for them in Andra Chansen! GO OUTTRIGGER! #voteouttrigger

2.Red - EKO 

Im really mad/sad with their result! I think this is one of the best songs of this year and i loved the performance! Im big fan of EKO and i cant wait to get more great music from them! BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR ONE OF MY WINNERS OF 2014! GO EKO!

3.Yes We Can - Oscar Zia

I really like Oscar and im very happy for him, i dont know if the song is good enough to win but its a very nice-catchy tune and he is a really charismatic performer. LOVE HIM! Good luck in the final Oscar! Now lets party in our underwear! Sha lalalala cause we can! YES WE CAN!

4.Burning Alive - Shirley Clamp

She did her best on stage but i think it wasnt the right song for her. The 1st verse of the song is really good but then with the chorus the song turns into something very blah and thats why she didnt get a good result! . (Also wth was that dress :S)

5.All We Are - State of Drama 

Im not a fan of SOD and i really dislike the fact that a big part of the song were pre-recorded backing vocals but Emil is great on stage and even if i dont like the song, i have to say that their performance was good.

6.En enkel sång - CajsaStina Åkerström

I like this song and i think she did a very nice job on stage!

7.Busy Doin’ Nothin’ - Ace Wilder

DONT WANNA WORK WORK WORK! I WANNA MAKE MONEY WHILE I SLEEP!

BANG! LOVED IT! I just cant control myself in that part of the song! THIS SONG IS A HIT! I can see it doing great on the charts cause its fabulous! The performance was fantastic and I LOVE ACE! Im very happy with her result! WOHOOOOOO! GO ACE! #voteace

8.Around the World - dr. alban & Jessica Folcker

This is an ok song to listen but not to watch cause there is no chemistry between them! The only thing i liked about this entry was the chorus the rest imo wasnt good.

Welcome to Melodifestivalen 2014: EKO

EKO just won the Svensktoppen nästa contest and that means they are going to participate on the Melodifestivalen 2014!

Im very happy cause they were my favorites since the 1st time i heard the 8 songs, they are very interesting and i  hope they get a great song for Melodifestivalen!

The members of the group are Anna Lidman, Hannes Lundberg and Michael Ottosson.

Last year Terese Fredenwall was the winner and her song "Breaking the silence" got a pretty good result for an unknow artist, 5th place on the 4th semifinal. So Congratulations to EKO and i wish them all the best!

Here you can listen to the winning song of the Svensktoppen nästa: http://sverigesradio.se/sida/artikel.aspx?programid=3147&artikel=5624594
