I'm pretty sure your ranking is more Miltonesque than my own ranking, as seen below... Melodifestivalen 2016 - Full Ranking Molly Sandén - Youniverse ISA - I Will Wait Oscar Zia - Human Lisa Ajax - My Heart Wants Me Dead Ace Wilder - Don’t Worry Robin Bengtsson - Constellation Prize Krista Siegfrids - Faller Wiktoria - Save Me Dolly Style - Rollercoaster Molly Pettersson Hammar - Hunger Mimi Werner - Ain’t No Good SaRaha - Kizunguzungu Boris René - Put Your Love on Me SMILO - Weight of the World Linda Bengtzing - Killer Girl Anna Book - Himmel för två Frans - If I Were Sorry David Lindgren - We Are Your Tomorrow Panetoz - Håll om mig hårt Albin & Mattias - Rik Pernilla Andersson - Mitt Guld Samir & Viktor - Bada nakna Swingfly - You Carved Your Name (feat. Helena Gutarra) Eclipse - Runaways Patrik, Uno & Tommy - Håll mitt hjärta hårt David Stenmarck - Du tar mig tillbaks Victor och Natten - 100% After Dark - Kom ut som en stjärna Looking at just the Finalists, my ranking feels very "death to all the fun songs + Frans" Isa was robbed, and did I mention how I really don't want Frans to win?

They won't pick Ieva so Erica would be okay too
WTF? ALBANIA, WHY DID YOU DO THAT? And here is where RTSH ruins a GOOD song in a big way. I just can't Stand this song in english it Sounds so DULL AND FORCED to the language. This was a masterpiece in albanian, it conveyed me A LOT of Energy, such a Powerful love song, Now all my passional fire for this song has turned into cold Ashes because of that silly unnecessary revamp . Just hope they react quickly and change the decision to perform this in albanian next May, cause they won't go anywhere at this rate.
I like it, but not quite as much as Na Inat (the inevitable comparison). It's less edgy than I hoped.
It should see them into the final (being in the weaker of the two semi finals) but I think I need to wait for all songs to be published before I rerank - right now, it sits in the middle of the road. (The bulgarian chant is really catchy, though.) EDIT: The video was deleted and replaced for some reason - here it is again.
After about an hour and a half of this being released, I have changed my opinion: O, DAY MI LYUBOVTA TAKE ME 2 SOFIA.
Er, yeah - new version of Serhat's song. (Brought to our attention as courtesy of: my GOOD friend jw.)
The wait worth worth it , i just said that none of these last 2 entries to be released (Malta & Bulgaria) would take a spot in my top 10, quite the contrary happened in fact .
