Melodifestivalen 2019 - Deltävling 1: Where is that love that starts with MELLO

NU KÖR VI!

1. Chasing Rivers - Nano

I'm still not a fan of Nano but I think his stage presence improved a bit since we last saw him in mello, however I find his 2017 song way better than this one. 

2. No Drama - High15

I saw a video of these girls performing their song "Adios" on East FM radio last year and thought "They should do mello someday" and here they are and I'm so proud of them. I don't think this song was as good as that one but they showed that they are good singers and know how to perform so I hope they get another chance with a better song.

3. Not With Me - Wiktoria

The only thing I remember about this act is the rain THE RAIN THE RAAAAAIIIIIIN (HI Ruth Lorenzo). It was a very nice looking performance but this wasn't the heart breaking ballad I was expecting, it was just bland. 

4. Mina bränder - Zeana feat. Anis Don Demina 

Oj oj ojojojoj! What a bop! This was such a fun song, the staging could have been better (Didn't like the throne) but I really enjoyed the performance.

5. Mina fyra årstider - Arja Saijonmaa 

Arja is a legend and I love her! She is such a brilliant performer, and I really liked her song (I prefer Vad du än trodde så trodde du fel though)

6. Hello - Mohombi 

This ended up being my favorite act from this semifinal, a very solid pop song that Mohombi elevated with his performance, he is such a charming performer and everything worked on stage tonight. 

7. Ashes To Ashes - Anna Bergendahl 

Watching Anna perform tonight made me really happy, she still has a wonderful voice and while I think the song is not a contender for the win, it was probably my 2nd or 3rd favorite of the night.

Shout out to the DIVA of the night:

Time for the last semifinal of  Mello 2017

NU KÖR VI!

1. En värld full av strider (Eatneme gusnie jeenh dåaroeh) - Jon Henrik Fjällgren feat. Aninia

I wasnt a fan of JHF's entry in 2015 but I gotta say I like his song this year. It is not a contender but it has a nice melody.

2. Running with Lions - Alice

Alice is a very talented girl and the song was nice, but sadly I think she got the wrong staging for this song. Wouldnt mind seeing her again in mf. (PS: Girl, who made you wear that dress?)

3. Bound To Fall - Les Gordons

I have nothing bad to say about this. I liked it.

4. As I Lay Me Down - Wiktoria

There are moments I like the song and there are moments I think it's kinda bland. I think "Save me" was a better song and this one feels like a cheap version of it, that doesnt mean it's bad but I wouldnt like to see it in Eurovision.

5. När ingen ser - Axel Schylström

He is really good singer and I loved his energy on stage. Go Axel!

6. Du får inte ändra på mig - Sara Varga och Juha Mulari

Nice little song.

7. Statements - Loreen

I love Loreen and I was ready for a good non competitive entry cause I thought the reason she was doing Mello this year was just promo, not because she wanted to go to Eurovision but "Statements" really shook me to the core. The song is so fucking brilliant! THAT BEAT KILLED ME! I liked the performance but tbh I think it could have been much better, I hope she can fix it for AC cause I really need her in the final, no matter what result she gets in it. Less is more, Lo. Strip it down a bit and let the song shine on its own.
