OMG! Tomorrow the Melodifestivalen finally kicks off! I hope you feel slightly prepared from my Melodi posts ett och två!
My photo above shows you my the top 10 contestants I am most looking forward to.
If you have not already noticed, I am a strange one! I love Melodifestivalen but as a strict rule I do not listen to any previews of the songs before the actual show. I judge each song on the staging, performance and emotion as well as on the song itself. I also feel by prejudging it, it looses the mystery and excitement of the live show! I am such a child, this is my Schlager Christmas ha! If you wish you can hear the clips here, however the exquisite ScandiPop warn against it!
So my Top 10 are based on past musical outputs, past Melodi songs, and general excitement to hear their song! Chances are I will be wrong , and the new comers to Melodifestivalen will have better entries! I would have never predicted loving the 2009 Scotts entry last year!
My Top 10, in excitement order are:
1. Eric Saade - Manboy: What a song title! His 1st single Sleepless is amazing, and he has Fredrik Kempe on his team!
2. Elin Lanto - Doctor Doctor: I have loved her last 3 singles, and think were in for an other pop/disco masterpiece!
3. Darin - You're Out Of My Life: I do LOVE Darin, as explained here. However as the song is a ballad he rates lower with me than expected. Title sounds emotional.
4. Alcazar - Headlines: Stay The Night was insanely brilliant, so Headlines has a high expectation! I am just not sure it will hit the mark!
5. Pernilla Wahlgren - Jag vill om du vågar: A big assed Svenska Schlager anthem is expected, and I am sure she wont disapoint!
6. Sibel - Stop: Her first Melodi hit was gorgeous, and her new look makes m more excited about this song than I was when she was announced!
7. Ola Svensson - Ola never fails to disappoint with his singles, but his 1st Melodi entry wasn't his best!
8. Pauline - Sucker For Love: I like her sound and think she could be this year Emilia, who I LOVED last year!
9. Jessica Andersson - I Did It For Love: This girl is Schlager royalty, but her princess tiara might be slipping by choosing a ballad!
10. Lovestoned - Thursdays: They have promise, and I think they will raise there game for Melodi!
I think Hanna Lindblad will be a dark horse for me this year. Manipulated is a fabulous title!
My gut says Peter Jöback - Hollow, Peter teamed with the gifted Fredrik Kempe has an extreme chance to win the show!
Let's see how right or wrong I am!
