Melodifestivalen 2012: Webjoker Semifinal 4

The last 8 songs from the webjoker competition are here on the 4th semifinal and its time to make my comments about them:

Remember to visit www.svt.se/mello to listen the songs or just click in the title of each one.

1.Need To Know
Artist: Bowties
Låtskrivare: Erik Andergren och Erik Källner, Växjö
The look of the guys is great and i like how this sounds, it has a great production and maybe thats one of the reasons i like this song. Its a nice entry and i can imagine this song on the MF but not getting in the final, hehe we will see whats going to happen, but thumbs up for this song and the Bowties.

2.Kärleken ler
Artist: Ricky och Ronny
Låtskrivare: Ronny Andersson, Gävle
When i read in the description hip hop i was a bit scared but i have to say that i kinda like it, i was waiting for something really bad but this sounds nice, i would definitely change the singers cause this song with a good female singer can be so much better but the song right now sounds cool so maybe this can get into the final.

3.Forever By Your Side
Artist: Trison
Låtskrivare: Tony Andersson och Martin Johansson (Trison), Skåne
Hello to Trison again! their first entry in the semifinal 1 was disqualified and here we have their 2nd entry. I liked more their 1st one, this song is not bad but i dont like it, and i guess thats all i can say.

4.Not Over You
Artist: Felicia Vårnäs
Låtskrivare: Ditte Lindbom, Stockholm
Now its time for the song of the 12 years old little girl, with this one we know they will change the singer cause she is too young for MF and ESC, a rock pop entry for the little girl and i wasnt expecting this. I really like it and i want this to get into the webjoker final. Good job to the composer and i cant wait to see this girl in a couple of years. I think the song is very strong with a pretty catchy chorus and she did a great job cause the vocals were very good. Vote for Not over you on Monday!

5.Letting Go
Artist: Jennifer
Låtskrivare: Sofia Yxklinten, Lund
This song has something interesting but it doesnt sound good, im so sure that this song with a nice production could be one of the favorites but now i just cant see this going to the final.

6.Higher
Artist: Patrick Egemo
Låtskrivare: Alexander Östman och Fredrik Langå, Stockholm
I dont know what to say about this one, it doesnt have anything interesting. Now that im listening again i can say that its has a good chorus and i kinda like it now hehe, i think its good enough to get in the webjoker final, so i wish good luck to the Higher team.

7.Box of Love
Artist: Vilda
Låtskrivare: Anton Fahlgren, Örnsköldsvik
Its Vilda again, last semifinal she had the songbird and ended in the 7th place. Now i feel this song its boring and i dont like the lyrics, i dont want this kinda songs in the MF so i all i can say its: see you next year Vilda!

8. Believe
Artist: Carolina Jakobsson
Låtskrivare: Carl Hansson och Emil Valtersson, Stockholm
And here we have the last song from the webjoker competition, the bad thing about this song is her horrible vocal performance cause i really think this song is nice, so bad we didnt listen it with the vocals of a fantastic singer, it would have been one of the finalist but i guess it still have a chance, cause the semifinal its on monday so if you are Swedish dont forget to vote for your favorite.

Now my ranking of the semifinal 4:
8.Box of love
7.Letting go
6.Forever by your side
4.Believe
4.Kärleken ler
3.Higher
2.Need to know
1.Not over you

Melodifestivalen 2012 - Webjoker Semifinal 1

Oh yeah, the Melodifestivalen 2012 started with the Webjoker selection, since 2010 Svt gives the opoturnity to participate in the MF to non famous artist and composers. This year the Webjoker selection will be like a mini melodifestivalen, from 570 songs STV selected only 32, this songs will be separeted in Semifinals of 8 songs each one so we will have 4 semifinals like in the big Mello, the audience will have 1 hour to vote for their favorite song and only 1 song will go to the webjoker final then SVT will choose another song and we will have 8 songs in the Final. This year only 1 song will have the chance to partipate in the Melodifestivalen 2012.

Its time to give my opinion about the songs:

1. Set Me Free
Artist: Trison
Upphovsmän: Tony Andersson, Martin Johansson, Trison, Skåne
I think the melody of this song its nice but to me the whole songs sounds like a 1st demo, where all you got in mind its a good melody but still dont found the right lyrics for it and you just put something pretty simple and bad. All this song needs its good lyrics and of course a good singer, but in general i think i like the beat of this song.

2. Wish You Luck
Artist: Billie Dee
Upphovsmän: Christian Lumbana, Stockholm
When i saw the picture of this girl i though "this is going to be a good one" and my intuition was right, i really like it, it has something catchy but not like a simple catchy song but in a charming way, i dont know if you guys can understand what i mean, this song with a better arrangement can be great, still i cant see it getting in the top 4 in the Melodifestivalen.

3. How About You?
Artist: Keylas
Upphovsmän: Oscar Lindstein, Stockholm
I dont know what to say about this one, it wasnt bad but it wasnt the best so its like meh, i didnt love it or hate it but right now i cant even remember it. I think this song needs a stronger beat and a better last part, also a good singer cause this was like an autotune fest.

4. Your Majesty
Artist: The Commoneers
Upphovsmän: Mark Anthony Woznicki, Sundsvall
This one was boring as hell, i didnt like it.


5. Catch Me
Artist: Maria Klemetrud
Upphovsmän: Ditte Lindbom, Maria Klemetrud, Stockholm
This one its kinda nice but too cheap and for 2004, 2006, idk i think its not good enough, if you are going to make this kinda song it has to be great cause if it has something bad its going to sound cheap and trashy.


6. I mina drömmar
Artist: Maria BenHajji
Upphovsmän: Nanna Bing, Thomas Cars, Uppsala
When i saw the title of the songs before listening, this one was the 1st one i wanted to listen cause if there is something i love its swedish songs. When i listened her voice and the first words i just fell in love with it, i cant describe all the things i felt but those 3minutes were amazing, i wasnt expecting a great song in the webjoker competition but i can imagine this song on the big stage getting in the top 4. A round of applause to the composers and to the fantastic singer. This one deserves to be in the final!

7. Seven Years
Artist: Flying Kite
Upphovsmän: Moa Rönnåsen, Robin William-Olsson, Stockholm/Hallsberg
Well as you can imagine when i listened this one all i was thinking of was I mina drömmar but i think this song its nice but not a contender to win, i cant imagine it on the Melodifestivalen.

8. All Day All Night
Artist: Grand Slam
Upphovsmän: Andy Swaniz, Peter Andersson
And some glam to finish, imo bad melody, bad lyrics, not good vocals, its just a mess. If we compare this with In your dreams (ESC Norway 2005) or Pamela (Stala & So - Euroviisut 2011) all i can say its this is garbage.

So my ranking for the Semifinal 1 of the Webjoker 2012 is this one:
8.Your Magesty
7.All Day All Night
6.Catch Me
5.How About You?
4. Seven Years
3.Set Me Free
2.Wish You Luck
1.I Mina Drömmar

On monday the Swedish audience will have 1 hour to vote for their favorite, to see the rules and the numbers enter here.
