Melodifestivalen 2015 – Nu kör vi !

Eric Saade returns to the competition with a spectacular staging : a beautiful opening with shadows and video overlays, and an effective ending on a platform flying over the audience. The choreography is stunning. Well the song has not the same level, but tonight’s performance already set Eric Saade as one hot favorite to represent Sweden in Vienna. He obviously earns his spot in the final of Melodifestivalen.

Hottie Alert ! Behrang Miri also returns to competition, this time along with a certain Victor Fritz Crone. Kinda cute boy… The song ? If you follow our french podcasts, you know, “I love Carola, I do not like rap”. But as this one is cowritten by Måns Zelmerlöw, I’m more forgiving.

Speaking of songs… For me the best one tonight was I’ll be fine by Molly Pettersson Hamar. Unfortunately, the live was less attractive than the studio version. And these shoes are ugly Molly ! Why not clogs at that point ?! Nevertheless, her 6th place is really unfair.

Songs again… I had great expectations from Daniel Gildenlöw. I loved his Road Salt back in 2010. Small disappointment. If the performance tonight is rather touching, the song Pappa sounds a bit simpleton, even without understanding a single word of Swedish. But come on… Last ?!

But they were 7, so we’re missing 3…
Jessica Andersson : beautiful dress but a completely soporific song.
Elize Ryd & Rickard Söderberg : freaky…
Dolly Style : hey it’s not a circus !

Allez, on résume !

 

they’ll be in the final…
Eric Saade – Sting (he could not have been out…)
Jessica Andersson – Can’t Hurt Me Now (really ?!)

they get a second chance…
Dolly Style – Hello Hi (under 16 should be banned from voting !)
Behrang Miri ft. Victor Fritz Crone – Det rår vi inte för (they still have a one-in-two chance…)

why ?!…
5ème – Elize Ryd & Rickard Söderberg – One by One (already well paid…)
6ème – Molly Pettersson Hamar – I’ll Be There (this, is unfair !)
7ème – Daniel Gildenlöw – Pappa (sorry Daniel…)

You can now get to know the contestants of the second semifinal.
