[KylieistBoi]

Detailed analysis based on names, cause why not?

Deltävling 1: Göteborg 4/2 2017

• Adrijana – Amare
Låtskrivare: Martin Tjärnberg, Adrijana Krasniqi

• Boris René – Her Kiss
Låtskrivare: Tim Larsson, Tobias Lundgren

• Nano – Hold On
Låtskrivare: Nano Omar, Gino Yonan, Ayak, Carl Rydén, Christoffer Belaieff, Rikard de Bruin, David Francis Jackson

• Charlotte Perrelli – Mitt liv
Låtskrivare: Charlotte Perrelli, Lars Hägglund

• Dinah Nah – One More Night
Låtskrivare: Thomas G:son, Jimmy Jansson, Dinah Nah, dr alban

• De Vet Du – Road Trip
Låtskrivare: Johan Gunterberg, Christopher Martland

• Ace Wilder – Wild Child
Låtskrivare: Peter Boström, Thomas G:son, Ace Wilder

• Ace Wilder is the obvious finalist here. Surprised she changed her songwriters after two successful attempts with them tho.
• The other finalist will be Boris René or De Vet Du.
• Failing one in the above duo will go to Andra Chansen with Dinah Nah.
• Charlotte Perrelli's best chance is to get to Andra Chansen, and she better hope the kids don't vote, cause no way she can reach to final with app-voting and a song in Swedish with them voting heavily. Probably another 5th place in coming.

Deltävling 2: Malmö 11/2 2017

• Mariette – A Million Years
Låtskrivare: Thomas G:son, Johanna Jansson, Peter Boström, Mariette Hansson, Jenny Hansson

• Benjamin Ingrosso – Good Loovin'
Låtskrivare: Benjamin Ingrosso, Louis Schoorl, Matt Pardon

• Dismissed – Hearts Align
Låtskrivare: Ola Salo, Peter Kvint

• Roger Pontare – Himmel och hav
Låtskrivare: Thomas G:son, Alexzandra Wickman

• Lisa Ajax – I Don’t Give A
Låtskrivare: Ola Svensson, Linnea Deb, Joy Deb, Anton Hård af Segerstad

• Etzia – Up
Låtskrivare: Johnny Sanchez, Hanif Sabzevari, Simon Gribbe, Erica Haylett

• Allyawan – Vart haru varit
Låtskrivare: Masse Salazar, Samuel Nazari

• So surprised Mariette is also working with G:Son and Boström, could've been another Loreen'12 case if Loreen was not in herself this year.
• I guess Lisa Ajax will go the way Ellen Benediktsson did, classy-ish song one year a ****ty complete image change in the year after. This semi seems so weak tho, she might just snatch another final ticket.
• Is Benjamin Ingrosso related to Sebastian Ingrosso?
• I loved most of Peter Kvint composed songs, so really excited for that one too.
• Considering the semi seems too weak, Rogar Pontare might end up in top 4, instead of finishing last.

Deltävling 3: Växjö 18/2 2017

• Owe Thörnqvist – Boogieman Blues
Låtskrivare: Owe Thörnqvist

• Bella & Filippa – Crucified
Låtskrivare: Peter Hägerås, Mats Frisell, Jakob Stadell, Filippa Frisell, Isabella Snihs

• The Fooo Conspiracy – Gotta Thing
Låtskrivare: Robert ”Mutt” Lange, Tony Nilsson

• Jasmine Kara – Gravity
Låtskrivare: Anderz Wrethov, Jasmine Kara

• Robin Bengtsson – I Can’t Go On
Låtskrivare: David Kreuger, Hamed ”K-One” Pirouzpanah, Robin Stjernberg

• Anton Hagman – Kiss You Goodbye
Låtskrivare: Christian Fast, Tim Schou, Henrik Nordenback

• Krista Siegfrids – Snurra min jord
Låtskrivare: Krista Siegfrids, Gustaf Svenungsson, Magnus Wallin, Gabriel Alares

• The Fooo Conspiracy is obvious winner here
• Robin Bengtsson is probably the other finalist.
• Jasmine Kara and Krista will contenders for Andra Chansen.
• Very excited for Tim Schou composed song, New Tomorrow was amazing

Deltävling 4: Skellefteå 25/2 2017

• Wiktoria – As I Lay Me Down
Låtskrivare: Justin Forrest, Jonas Wallin, Lauren Dyson

• Les Gordons – Bound To Fall
Låtskrivare: Jonatan Renström, Albert Björliden, Andreas Persson, Carl Ragnemyr, David Runebjörk, Jimmy Jansson

• Sara Varga och Juha Mulari – Du får inte ändra på mig
Låtskrivare: Sara Varga, Lars Hägglund

• Jon Henrik Fjällgren feat. Aninia – En värld full av strider
Låtskrivare: Jon Henrik Fjällgren, Sara Biglert, Christian Schneider, Andreas Hedlund

• Axel Schylström – När ingen ser
Låtskrivare: Behshad Ashnai, Axel Schylström, David Strääf

• Alice – Running with Lions
Låtskrivare: Anderz Wrethov, Andreas ”Stone” Johansson, Denniz Jamm, Alice Svensson

• Loreen – Statements
Låtskrivare: Anton Hård af Segerstad, Joy Deb, Linnea Deb, Loreen

• Obviously, Loreen is the winner of this semi final but very surprised she chose to come back with these particular songwriters. Can't wait to listen what they have in store for us
• I think Jon Henrik Fjällgren and Wiktoria will fight for the second place here, probably the former will go to final and Wiktoria to Andra Chansen, then final. Kinda bummed she is not in an easier semi final.
• Sara Varga might be the other AC contender.
• I am kinda sure Les Gordons will be a favorite of mine but will end up in 7th place

When it is all said and done I think the top 3 will be Loreen, The Fooo Conspiracy and Ace Wilder in that order. Mariette has to change her style drastically to avoid any Loreen comparisons, which makes me think she won't have any chance for the final.

Lmao @ the hype for Loreen she's not THAT interesting, she's not that good as a vocalist either. There will be at least 3 songs better than hers at this Mediocrityfestivalen, bookmark me.

Not at all. And Loreen most likely want to launch her WW career properly with this, so I believe the chances are that Statements is on par with Euphoria as far as quality goes.

If she wanted a global career, she would've released interesting material after Euphoria. Instead, she released boring stuff and stayed local.

She'll win again, both MF and ESC and you can start seething anytime you like.

[KillingYourCareer]

We haven't even heard the songs yet and y'all are brain wanking already
Just wait for some country that REALLY wants to win like Russia.

Yeah, watch her pull a Lena if she goes to the contest. Most voters don't care about who she is.

[Mr Greenbird]

Perrelli says she will do soft song, now I expect 7th on semi

[KillingYourCareer]

On a bright note, I just saw a girl who looks exactly like Polina Gagarina when she was 18 on the metro. We had a strong staring game. Feeling heterosexual today

[Mr Greenbird]

I watched half of Belarusian casting and it was pure mess. Maybe will change my mind after watching profer performances

I need her to release her 2nd Swedish album after this
But the one I'm excited for the most for MF is Wiktoria. That title intrigues me.

[kitasss_vlc]

Poor Ace Wilder... 3rd attempt and Loreen is here again

will wait to hear the songs... I just hope Ace doesnt give up if Loreen wins cause Ace must get her opportunity soner or later, please

[KillingYourCareer]

Ace Wilder is basic, predictable and flat out untalented. I get it that Sweden's Eurovision entries tend to be as basic as it gets, but they need to send Jon Henrik with a QUALITY song this time around.

[KillingYourCareer]

By the way, the betting odds have started! They mean absolutely nothing as of now, but for me this means that Eurovision season is open!

[nathanspears]

My mum said she would be okay with me going to MelFest on my own! I'm so hyped, I'm gonna start planning it

That's just outright bs.

Loreen sends such mixed singles. For years now I've been thinking she wants to get away from the "Eurovision winner" atmosphere and the whole music industry thing and now she does this??? She's so confusing

Ace Wilder is DESPERATE for that win bless her

[Yomaku]

Woo, a much stronger lineup than last year, hyped!

[Yomaku]

Also lowkey hoping for Lisa to pull through.

[seanoh]

Loreen is Eurovision royalty, I have 100% faith that this song will be nothing short of amazing. I don't even care if she wins Melfest or not, I'm just ecstatic to finally get new music and that she's going this hard with the promo.

And honestly, I would be mad if anyone else BUT Loreen tied my country's records. If, hypothetically, Loreen won Eurovision 2017, she would tie Sweden and Ireland's amount of wins. Johnny Logan won Eurovision twice for Ireland, and as far as I'm aware is the only contestant to have won twice. Legend, my heart is literally racing
