Melodifestivalen's 3rd semifinal!

Here is my ranking for the 3rd heat. Looking forward to the show tomorrow :)

1. The Attic feat. Therese - The Arrival
The rythm, the song is SO GOOD!! I love this kind of music! I'll vote for it as much as I can, but I doubt it will be in the final because of the competition from Nanne and Magnus. At least it will be in my mp3

2. Sheida - I mina drömmar (In my dreams)
This is a Swedish-Iranian band, 2 Swedish and 2 Iranian folk musicians. The song is in swedish, persian and baluchian (don't know how to spell that). The band says it's unique that 2 non-european languages enters Melodifestivalen. They describe the song as emotional, a love song, romantic. I think it's a very exciting mix of folkmusic. I really like it and I would love to see it in the final. But will the swedish people like it? I have my doubts...

3. Magnus Carlsson - Live forever
Here we go again hehe. He says MF is a great forum and fun to take part in. He describes the song as a fast disco tune from the 80-ies with lots of glitter and sparkling. He also says he has a bit of a cold, but he hopes and thinks it will pass in time for the contest tomorrow. I think it's a nice song. And I hope the performance will be good. He has a lot of charisma, so I think he'll do just fine. (Sounds like Bosson in the beginning of the song)

4. Måns Zelmerlöw - Cara mia
In the interview he promises a lot of dance, joy and show on stage tomorrow. The song has a classic swedish ABBA schlager sound. I like it. If he passes to the final or 2nd chance probably depends a lot on the performance. Since he participated in TV:s Idol and won antother TV-show "Let's dance", he is popular among people in general I think. And of course, a good dancer.

5. Sonja Aldén - För att du finns (Because you are (exist))
She says the song is about gratitude and love for life. Sounds nice eh? IMO she sounds a bit like Shirley Clamp. The song is a nice ballad, but not at all as emotional as Marie Lindberg's "Trying to recall" in the previous semi.

6. MissMatch - Drop dead
A lot of people say that one of these girls is very similar to Carola. Fortunately for her it's the looks and not the personality they refer to They describe the song like this: Shake some ass and have fun! The song is more rock and less pop than I expected. I don't think they will pass to the final or 2nd chance. And btw, it's not a good idea to chew gum during the interview, it makes you sound stupid.

7. Nanne Grönvall - Jag måste kyssa dig (I have to kiss you)
This is the 10th time she's participating. I have to say she seems like a very nice person. But that doesn't help.. The song is soooooooo Nanne and I don't like it, I'm sorry to say. The rest of the Swedish population will say YAY!!!!!. I say: Boooooooooring!

8. Sebastian - When the night comes falling
He says he looks forward to the contest a lot, that he is very competative and has a hard time to cope with losing. He is one of this year's wildcards and came 2nd in Idol 2005. I wouldn't vote for Sweden's most un-original "artist". But I guess the song is better if you don't have to look at him.

Here's what I think will happen tomorrow:

To the final:
Nanne Grönvall
Magnus Carlsson

To the 2nd chance:
Måns Zelmerlöw
Sebastian


I want this to happen!

To the final:
The Attic feat. Therese
Sheida

To the 2nd chance:
Magnus Carlsson
Måns Zelmerlöw
