Melodifestivalen 2018 - Deltävling 2

Not feeling this Mello week but...

NU KÖR VI!

1. Shuffla - Samir & Viktor

This is probably their best mello song but I think I prefer the "Bada Nakna" performance.

2. Allting som vi sa - Ida Redig

I really like Ida as an artist and this song was my favorite from this semifinal but I can understand why it didnt qualify, the whole act was too simple (with this Im not saying she should have had dancers and over the top stuff but there was something missing on stage)

3. Det finns en väg - Jonas Gardell

I have nothing to say about this one, it was okay.

4. In my cabana - Margaret

I dont like this song, it lacks energy imo but I think she did well and Im glad she made it to AC.

5. Titta vi flygger - Stiko Per Larsson

Stiko is one of those artist that I am sure I'd enjoy in a live gig.

6. Songburning - Mimi Werner

Nice performance, I think Mimi enjoyed her 3min on stage (You can see it in her eyes and smile)

7. Last breath - LIAMOO

He has such a fantastic stage presence and even if I think the song is just okay, I liked the performance (Im not crazy about it though)

Melodifestivalen 2016 - Deltävling 1: Don't worry, it's alright!

What time is it? It's Mello time! 

NU KÖR VI!!!!

1. Bada nakna - Samir & Viktor

Im not a fan of them but the song is catchy and the performance was okay, still Im glad they didnt get in the final! (PS: Take your pants off next time!)

2. Mitt guld - Pernilla Andersson

Pernilla is a really good artist but I think her 2011 song "Desperados" was much better than this.

3. Ain’t No Good - Mimi Werner

This was such a pretty fun song. Her vocal performance could have been better but overall I liked her performance, I wouldnt mind to see her in Mello again with a different country sound.

4. Rik - Albin & Mattias

When I heard the song for the 1st time I didnt like it but after I watched the performance I have to say that their energy on stage made me like it, they were just 2 friends having fun and singing their song and I loved that.

6. Constellation Prize - Robin Bengtsson

This is a pretty good song with a nice performance but the whole package lacks of something, but Im not sure what it is. Thats the reason why I cant see this winning Mello but to be honest I wouldnt mind if that happens.

7. Don’t Worry - Ace Wilder

I think this song could be used as the definition of an earworm song. I will share my experience with it cause I've read a couple of people having the same reactions to it. The first time I heard the 30secs rehearsal clip I was kinda disappointed with it and thought "Maybe we are missing the best part of the chorus" but then I played it again and BOOM! The "Dont worry, it's alright" got stuck in my head. Then I heard the whole song and my first thought was "Meh! I dont like the (Its alright! Oh oh! dont worry) part :(" then I heard it a couple times and thought "Oh! its not that bad, its very catchy, I like it" so I feel like this song is making me crazy. I dont know what to think about her chances in Mello but I hope there are better songs in the competition this year, cause a part of me cant see this doing well in Eurovision (Doing well for Sweden = Top 6). (PS: BDN >>>>>>>>>>>>> Dont worry)
