Melodifestivalen 2016 - Deltävling 2: Dear old mama my hope is gone

Tick tock tick tock! It's Mello time!

NU KÖR VI!!!!!

1. We are Your Tomorrow - David Lindgren

Im sure David is a really nice guy and he is a good performer but I dont like this, I think this is his weakest song/performance in MF.

2. 100% - Viktor och Natten

I like the energy of this song and he did a nice job on stage! Glad he didnt finish last!

3. Hunger - Molly Pettersson Hammar

Molly's revenge! Kill them with your vocals, girl! I think I prefer "I'll be fine" but this song is also good and I like her sassiness on stage. Im happy with her result!

4. I Will Wait - Isa

The stage act for this song is stunning and she is a good performer but I think there are 2 factors that doesnt make this a "Winner alert" act: 1.The song: There were a lot of the press people hyping it but I fear Im one of those who thinks the song is just an ok-ish ballad. 2.Her vocal performance: She is not a bad singer but you need to be perfect to sing a ballad like this one and she wasnt. Overall I think she deserved to get in the final because I loved the performance but I dont think this is a contender for Eurovision.

5. Faller - Krista Siegfrids

This was a bit disappointing, not because of Krista who did her best on stage but because of the song.

6. Håll mitt hjärta hårt - Patrik Isaksson, Tommy Nilsson & Uno Svenningsson

I have nothing to say about this one. Didnt love it or hate it.

7. Save Me - Wiktoria

I like the song and she has a pretty nice voice but I think stage performance doesnt suit the song at all. I would like her to be free on stage but I guess that wont happen so they better work on the projection thingy to at least make it look good in the final.

Melodifestivalen 2015 - Deltävling 1: Its gonna STINK so bad

Välkommen till Melodifestivalen 2015!

Some days ago I thought the 1st semifinal of MF 2015 was going to be bad but it wasnt!.

NU KÖR VI!

1.I'll Be Fine - Molly Pettersson Hammar

This was my favorite song in this semifinal! Molly is a really good singer but I didnt love the performance, It was a solid performance but it could have been better, still I think she totally deserved a top 4 result! Boo to SVT for the App thing! It was very unfair that people couldnt vote for her on the app. I dont buy the "the results would have been the same" bullsh*t! Im very glad she is doing great on Itunes!

2.Pappa - Daniel Gildenlöw

I really like Daniel and his performance was very genuine! The song wasnt as good as "Road salt" but I still like it! Loved his words after the semifinal. Good job Daniel!

3.One By One - Elize Ryd & Rickard Söderberg

These 2 are so talented! I like the song but I would have like to see them as solo artists in Mello! The performance was a ok but I didnt like the structure of it and I guess thats why they didnt get in the top 4 but still I hope to see them again on the MF stage cause they are great!

4.Hello Hi - Dolly Style

This was fun and addictive! The girls vocal performance could've been better but does that matter in this kind of song? I dont think so! WHEN WE DO IT DOLLY STYLE! WE DO IT HELLO HI!

5.Det rår vi inte för - Behrang Miri feat. Victor Crone

This was probably my fav performance of the night! Behrang has such a great stage presence and he is so likeable! I mean how can you not love him!, Victor was also very good. Im glad they are still in the competition! Good luck in AC!

6.Can't Hurt Me Now - Jessica Andersson

The good: Jessica is a very lovely woman, she is really talented and her stage presence is amazing (she knows how to make a great performance)
The bad: The song! I think this is a very meh song and I still dont get why it got  in the final (Well, I actually get it! Its because of her and her performance) 

I like her and Im very happy for her cause you could see how much she wanted to get a good result but I dont think this song is a good finalist.

7.Sting - Eric Saade

Im not the biggest fan of Eric! (I dont hate him though) but I cant deny that he is a really good performer! He works hard to make a good show but for me that is not enough! The stage act was nice but Im not sure if  I liked the first part with the video parts (I actually think the reprise version was better because it didnt have that gimmick) What can I say about the song? I like the beat and the melody but those lyrics are so awful! (Good job Kempe! Once again making horrible lyrics for Saade. PD: Sorry to Kempe if he didnt write the lyrics) Now the question is: Is this song a Eurovision winner? I dont think so! (But who knows? I mean there are weak years with bad winners)

One last thing to say about the show: GREAT JOB SANNA & ROBIN!

A very meh start for MF 2015! I have no interest in any of the songs, I will probably have a favorite on saturday but right now all I can say is that there is no Eurovision winner in this semifinal.
