Sweden 2012: Loreen - Euphoria

I think that Melodifesivalen's semi finals is like a Eurovision grand final.Excellent organisation

I'm actually really satisfied with the results. Loreen performance was just amazing. Can't stop watching it still.
Sad that The Monikers got last place, but as I scared, no AC and Final. I didn't like that rock band

Sean was very entertaining

I can't wait for the next semifinal. And I agree with Stathis. MF is just fabulous show.

I'm very tired of Melodifestivalen, I wish it was just two semi's with 10 songs and then à final with 10 songs. I think they shoul skip "andra chansen" totally
I think Loreen's song this year were actually better than the one last year. I really liked it! And DBA were good too, except the growling parts in it. For me it was the two best songs from this semi.

I think that the version Sweden have now gives more tensity of who will go to final. Only two each week. I am very fond of how it is now!
But maybe andra chansen isn't that needed and something they doesn't need.

By the way, was a record for how many that watched the first heat this year!

Who do you believe go to final and second chance?

i only heard Shout it out and i think its awesome other songs aren't available on youtube

I believe the full songs will be available in just one hour or something! That was the case last week anyhow.

I think David Lindgrens song is like Saade´s song last year actually. I just get that feeling, don't know why.

I wish Timoteij had sent something stronger. Even though I'm listening it on repeat I'm affraid it won't do that great today.

Exactly my thoughts too. Not that good.
The song "kom" they had in melodifestivalen 2010 was better, that is my thoughts right now.

its not working for me

Have you tried again now?
What is not working?

Hmm, I don't know why. Does the one minute clips work for you?

But I guess these videos doesn't work either then. :(

no it doesn't work

Hmm, have you waited maybe one minute or something after you watched play, so it maybe only loaded or something?

first time i waited about 5 minutes i hope it will be on youtube soon

Sadly SVT deletes the songs that goes further to the final and second chance on youtube.

The show have begun now. Second song right now. First song with ulrik munther was better then I thought before, but not worth winning. Not close.

Second song is not good. :(

Heat 2

To final
1. Ulrik Munther - Soldiers
6. David Lindgren - Shout it out

To second chance
5. Timoteij - Stormande hav
2. Top Cats - Baby doll

Out (round turn 1 - 8 songs left)
3. Sonja Alden - I din himmel (6th place)
3. Andreas Lundstedt - Aldrig, Aldrig (7th place)
7. Mimi Oh - Det Går För Långsamt (8th) (8th place)

Out (round turn 2 - five songs left)
4. Thomas Di Leva - Ge Aldrig Upp (5th place)

im glad David Lindgren is in final

Well, I had no favourites in this heat, so I just say "Why not!".
But it would be fun if Thomas Di Leva would go to final.

I wish Timoteij had got a final place, but they have got the chance still.

I would like them to be in the final instead of Ulrik Munther, Ulrik is like a Swedish Justin Bieber.

I don't know how many votes, but on the second heat I heard that more then one million had been collected to a thing called "Radiohjälpen". That send money as "sponsorship charity" to poor countries, or whatever. Better then last week I think. (There is two numbers you can call, one cheap and one that cost more, if you vote on the one that cost more you also gives money to radiohjälpen).

One minute clips from rehearsal, for heat 3:

After listeing those snipets, my favourite is Youngblood, even though I think they should add some energy on it. Maybe it comes today on stage =)
Disappointment from Love Generation. Maybe just the 1 minute wasn't enough for me.

I think Youngblood will go to Globen and the second singer/group I do not know to guess.

Do I remember wrong or there was a record of song submitings? I see that they have choosen mostly bad songs to semifinals or they got a lot of rubish.

I think Andreas Johnson will go to final.

And today I am really exited to see todays pause entertainment!

I'm in such a dilemma. Should I stay tuned on TV to watch the MadWalk or watch the Melodifestivalen live stream just in case Elena shows up as the interval act.
I guess that as soon as Elena's performance on MadWalk is finished I will switch to Melodifestivalen live streaming.

Svenskjäveln wrote:I think Andreas Johnson will go to final.

i think so too and i hope so. It's my favourite although i didn't see all ...
Molly's music is a disapointment

The third semifinal of Melodifestivalen 2012 has come to an end. The two acts with the most votes have won a spot in the final, while there will be a second chance for the two acts that placed immediately after.
The third semifinal of Melodifestivalen 2012 has seen another set of eight participants competing. Half of them have already finished their Eurovision quest, while the other four have qualified either directly to the final or to the 'Andra Chansen' show. The results have been produced through 50% jury voting and televoting.

Results

To the final:

Molly Sandén - Why am I crying
Björn Ranelid ft. Sara Li - Mirakel
To the 'Andra Chansen':

Youngblood - Youngblood
Andreas Johnson - Lovelight
The fourth semifinal of Melodifestivalen 2012 will be held on Saturday, February 25th in Malmö.

http://esctoday.com/news/read/18374

So disappointed that Ranelid got to final, he shouldn't even be in second chance. And I though it only was a jury in the final?

Edit - I am pretty sure it is only telephone voting in the four heats.
Edit - Yes, it is 100% telephone voting, "Pierresschlager" says that. Esctoday is wrong.

can't believe Andreas Johnson didn't pass! he had the best song

Yes, I think he should have been to final too. :(

One minute clips from the rehearsals of heat 4:

CHARLOTTE!!!!!!!

The performance looks stunning so far but I expected a stronger song to be honest. Can't wait to hear it on Saturday and I cross my fingers for her to make it through to final!

Now all is available!

Agree with you
I Really can't stand him, thomas di leva and torsten flink
Ughh bleh x/

The semi last week must have been the weakest of all! I didn't like any of the songs, mattias and andreas were ok though but not amazing. And Molly's song was sooooo boring!!! Although all of the other songs were amazing compared to björn ranelid OMG
Hopefully the one tomorrow will be stronger

I like Danny song alot.
But I'm a bit scared how will it do :(

I can't yet tell which is better Loreen or Danny, because haven't heard "Amazing" full version yet =)

Can't wait to watch Charlotte's performance tonight! She has the best song by far!

To be honest i didn't expect for me to like Charlotte's song but i like it, my second favourite after the brilliant "Euphoria''
Also i heard a strong greek sound in the song "Opa"
