last heat of songs: Loreen - Statements Wiktoria - As I Lay Me Down Axel Schylstrom - Nar Ingen Ser Alice - Running With Lions Sara Varga & Juha Mulari - Du Far Inte Andra Pa Mig Jon Henrik Fjallgren feat. Aninia - En Varl Full Av Strider Les Gordons - Bound To Fall
so, Loreen is crap as expected, Wiktoria is crap and a disappointment, Axel is a non-hopper, Alice sounds ok but I don't expect it to do much, Sara & Juha sounds horrific, Jon sounds good enough and Les Gordons are bound to fail even if the song sounds quite ok. On the SVT site Loreen is the favourite to go to the final followed by Wiktoria. My prediction is Loreen and Jon to the final, Wiktoria and Les Gordons to Andra while the rest goes out.
One thing I got from Loreen's snippet is that, yes, she still mumbles About the rest, I think Jon has a good song. Alice is ok, too.
Melodifestivalen Heat 4 Snippets Ranking Loreen - Statements Alice - Running With Lions Jon Henrik Fjallgren feat. Aninia - En Varl Full Av Strider Wiktoria - As I Lay Me Down Axel Schylstrom - Nar Ingen Ser Les Gordons - Bound To Fall Sara Varga & Juha Mulari - Du Far Inte Andra Pa Mig Well I doubt Sweden is winning this year based on these offerings. Wiktoria in particular has let me down . Loreen was better than expected given those really dodgy rumours about the style of the song, but it does seem shouty at the moment.
Ok, guys, for those who have trouble understanding Loreen when she sings...here is a great description of what the song is about..based on the staging The girl is born Christian. Soon she dances and lipsynchs in SIA videos. Quickly after she moves to Japan to make a horror film called The Ring. After Japan she becomes a flag waving Nazi. When she starts making enough money to buy designer bags she destroys everything bad from her past and finds peace in older age when she covers her face in a burqa (but soon realizes her hair is long enough to keep her covered and that the burqa was too much). The end

Andra Chasen Duels (Don't have the willpower for a top 28 atm Bold=Win) FO&O – Gotta Thing About You vs De Vet Du – Road Trip Axel Schylström – När Ingen Ser vs Lisa Ajax – I Don’t Give A Boris René – Her Kiss vs Dismissed – Hearts Align Anton Hagman – Kiss You Goodbye vs Loreen – Statements I'm sooooo indifferent to that first duel because of how horrid it is. I simply picked DVD because I want to see how salty FO&O get if they lose

Melodifestivalen Final Top 12 Owe Thörnqvist - Boogieman Blues Mariette - A Million Years Jon Henrik Fjällgren & Aninia - En Värld Full Av Strider Wiktoria - As I Lay Me Down Nano - Hold On Ace Wilder - Wild Child Lisa Ajax - I Don't Give A Robin Bengtsson - I Can't Go On Benjamin Ingrosso - Good Lovin' Anton Hagman - Kiss You Goodbye Boris René - Her Kiss FO&O - Gotta Thing About You This has been a pretty bad MF season overall. Not as horrific at 2013, but pretty close. I can't see Sweden tying with Ireland for wins this year.....
