Melodifestivalen 2018 - Deltävling 4

Last semifinal, last 7 songs...

NU KÖR VI!

1. Icarus - Emmi Christensson

Emmi is a good singer but the song is a NO for me.

2. Mitt Paradis - Elias Abbas

I knew about Elias before Mello (I love Min queen) so I was excited to see him on a big stage and he didnt disappoint me, he is the star I knew he was and he did a lovely performance. Cant wait to hear more music from him!

3. Break That Chain - Felicia Olsson

Loved to see Felicia back but I prefer her 2013 song.

4. Fuldans - Rolandz

This was entertaining! (Good job to Af Sillen for the staging)

5. Never Learn - Olivia

This song left me cold, it is very radio friendly but I dont think it worked on stage.

6. Every Single Day - Felix Sandman

STUNNING! I'll be totally honest I wasnt expecting this from Felix but he just killed me with this song (Those lyrics) and damn WHAT A PERFORMANCE! HOW IS THIS MASTERPIECE NOT IN THE FINAL? I DONT GET IT! YOU ALL BETTER VOTE FOR HIM ON SATURDAY! I NEED HIM IN THE FINAL! GO FELIX!

7. For You - Mariette

Mariette is such a wonderful performer and I love her but this is my least favorite song from her 3 Mello entries.

Sweden 2017: Robin Bengtsson

Sverige, vi har ett resultat. Vinnaren av Melodifestivalen 2017 är...

ROBIN BENGTSSON

I didnt have a big favorite this year in Mello so  I guess Im happy with the winner. I like Robin and I think this was the most complete act in the final (Nice song, vocals on point and a fantastic staging). I still think he needs to relax on stage and enjoy the performance more. Good luck in Eurovision, Robin!

Shout out to Ace & Mariette, they were the ones I liked the most in the final:

Melodifestivalen 2017 - Deltävling 2: I don't give a fuck

Time for the 2nd semifinal of MF 2017

NU KÖR VI!

1. A Million Years - Mariette

What a lovely performance, it was the best one of the night imo. She is so likeable and the whole act looked pretty neat. Good job, Mariette!

2. Himmel och hav - Roger Pontare

Im very surprised with his result, cause I thought this kind of entry was not app-friendly but Roger did a very solid performance and Im glad he made it to the top 5.

3. Up - Etzia

I like the edgy Etzia more than the mello Etzia. This was such a plain "uptempo" song, it lacked so much energy. 

4. Vart har du vart - Allyawan

Im sorry but I didnt like this.

5. Hearts Align - Dismissed

I was a bit confused with the 1st part of the performance but I just watched it again and I liked it. Its a daring staging and they performed it very well.

6. I Don't Give A - Lisa Ajax

She is a good singer but I dont give a fuck about this entry, (Her song from last year was better)

7. Good Lovin' - Benjamin Ingrosso

Benjamin is so huggable! I wanted to get a winner alert vibe from this entry but all I got was a "ow he is not here to win" feeling. Still I think song is okay and its going to be fun to see him perform it again in the final. 

Shoutout to David "Dad bod" Lindgren who was probably the highlight of this semifinal:

This week I think I'll be Team Mariette och Team Benjamin (I also liked Dismissed) but tbh none of the 1min snippets blew me away so I cant wait to listen to the full versions on saturday.
