Hello everyone! Finally you all waited for this day, and now the time has come. Melodifestivalen is back! And i'm super super extremely happy for this. It's will be magical weeks of waiting for who will represent Sweden in Eurovision Song Contest. But now it's time for the review of First semifinal of Melodifestivalen.

The hosts of Melodifestivalen is swedish blogger, TV-host, Keyo(real name Christina Petrushina) and Edvin Törnblom, Swedish comedian, television personality and actor.

The opening of first semifinal:

And here's the songs of first semifinal of "Melodifestivalen-2025".

1)Albin Jonsen feat Pa- Upp i Luften.

Well, not bad beginning, but i don't feel some attraction to this song, the vibe of this song positive of course, but i didn't find something catching tune in this song. I give 6 points from 10. The video of the perfomance:

2)Maja Ivarssom-Kamikaze Life.

Wooow! I've waited for this long time that Maja can participate in Melodifestivalen" and finally time has come. Of course i love "The Sounds", i even have some favorite songs from this band. And this song sounds in really "The Sounds" style. But i like it, i give 7 points from 10.

The video of the perfomance:

3)John Lundvik-Voice Of The Silent.

Well, as i see participation in "Eurovision-2019" wasn't enough for John, but i liked his two previous songs "My Turn" and "Too Late For Love", the last one he perfomed in "Eurovision Song Contest-2019" and received fifth place. Ah, he perfome in "Melodifestivalen" for a fourth time. This songs sounds good. And i liked his red outfit which so perfectly fitted for him. Well, all i can say is just a good song. I give 7 points from 10.

The video of the perfomance:

4)Meira Omar-Hush Hush.

I liked this song. Sounded very in bollywood style. And choreography looked like from some indish movies, this is a very plus for this amazing perfomance. Good job. I give 8 points from 10.

The video of the perfomance:

5)Adrian Macéus-Vår Första Gång.

I knew Maceus that he shooted in some swedish christmas TV-Series but i don't remember the name of this TV-serial. But the song seemed to me not interesting, just nothing catching in this song despite that Adrian sang very good. Sorry but i give 4 points from 10.

The video of the perfomance:

6)Linnea Henriksson-Den Känslan.

Oj, oj, oj, finally another big swedish star joined to the "Melodifestivalen". I remember she was even the host of some of "Melodifestivalen. But song sounded not really interesting. Again nothing catching and it seemed for me that Linnea sang very fragile. So, i give 5 points from 10. The video of the perfomance:

And that was all the six songs from first semifinal.

At the interval act perfomed Kärrijä and Hooja with the song "San-Francisco Boy". Kärrijä represented Finland in "Eurovision Song Contest-2023" and Finland was close to win for the second time but victory went to the Loreen, who represented Sweden for the second time. I liked this perfomance. Fantastic, really.

And so, who went to the final?

JOHN LUNDVIK!!!

At the second interval act perfomed Ravaillacz Teens with the song"En Riktig Jävla Schlager".

But it was just to make a little long to wait who the second semifinalist?

And who is it?

It s.... MAJA IVARSSON!!!

Meira Omar goes to the Semi Kvalen final. And Albin Jonssen feauturing Pa with Adrian Macéus and Linnea Henriksson is out of competition.

Congratulations to the Maja and John for the passing to the final.

Now we re waiting the next saturday for the second semifinal of Melodifestivalen. And of course i ll write the other reviews of Melodifestivalen. But for now, see you next week and bye bye!!!

They've sent the one good song to second chance

Meira Omar - Hush Hush

[silvaradragontear]

Not bad, more fun than John Lundvik’s ballad. Not my favorite but I will not be mad if it goes to final.

[dance-your-vision]

This is what I mean when I say singers should move with their music, it’s just way more visually interesting

[icypiece]

Låt mig, mer eller mindre godtyckligt, sammanfatta årets finalister i tre ord eller färre (jag låtsas som att 'à la' är ett ord för det borde vara det)

John Lundvik - Voice of the Silent: Saknar the Mamas

Dolly Style - YIHAA: Cowboyhästjejerkvinnor, yihaa

Greczula - Believe Me: Flygande. Piano.

Klara Hammarström - On and On and On: Ångestframkallande scenframträdande

SCARLET - Sweet N' Psycho: Metall à la mello

Erik Segerstedt - Show Me What Love Is: Ingetburgare

Maja Ivarsson - Kamikaze Life: Rock à la Disney

Meira Omar - Hush Hush: Bira bira bira

Måns Zelmerlöw - Revolution: Protestlåt utan meddelande

Saga Ludvigsson - Hate You So Much: Taylor Swift hemma

Annika Wickihalder - Life Again: Vilken. Röst.

KAJ - Bara bada bastu: SAUNA

Jag vill vara lite rolig, men jag vill också vara tydlig med en sak: alla som uppträder ikväll är väldigt bra på det de gör och verkar vara schyssta människor, och de har min respekt!

Late watch of Melodifestivalen final:

Nemo, showing how it's done.

Edvin and Keyyo are looking very sparkly and glam tonight.

John Lundvik, "Voice of the Silent" - He is a very good singer and I'd rather he moved away from the bland, vaguely inspirational songs and try to add a little dash of something else. It doesn't need to be extreme; The Mamas helped add interest before and they were hardly edgy.

Dolly Style, "YIHAA" - Well-performed silliness that doesn't try to be anything other than what it is.

Greczula, "Believe Me" - This song still sounds so Melfest-y to my ears while still sounding different than the particular types of pop that have been predominant lately on this show.

Uh oh the hands are going for Edvin.

Klara Hammarstrom, "On and On and On" - Of the songs in the final, this will probably be the one I listen to the most. It's a little bit anxious so it feels like it would be good for exercise or work.

I heard a sneaky bit of Chess in that dramatic little fake movie; hope to see it on stage in the next year.

SCARLET, "Sweet N' Psycho" - I really enjoy the sound of the song, but is lacking in drama.

Erik Segerstedt, "Show Me What Love Is" - So much confetti, it's like a mid-show winner's moment.

Maja Ivarsson, "Kamikaze Life" - All the states of America, yeah! (North Dakota! Idaho! Delaware! So punk!) This brings me more joy than it should.

Meira Omar, "Hush Hush" - This staging gets decent mileage out of the use of a pretty simple platform and carefully-chosen camera angles.

Måns Zelmerlöw, "Revolution" - Looks like he survived the confetti. I am trying to imagine this song in the vein of Ruslana's "Dance WIth The Wolves" but it just isn't quite working for me.

Saga Ludvigsson, "Hate You So Much" - It was nice to get a bit of human storytelling in the staging and choreography, which is not strongly present in most of the other performances.

Annika Wickihalder, "Life Again" - The way her backing dancers rise out of the mist is oddly creepy. I appreciate the way she seems to throw herself so fully into her performance.

KAJ, "Bara bada bastu" - SAUNA.

Petra Mede comes with a gay entourage, naturally.

Have to admit I am a little surprised that the juries liked Dolly Style so much.

I was already spoiled for the results so missed out on the surprise, but happy that Sweden is diverging from its usual path. All in all it was a pretty good final.

[liljakonvalj]

Meira hamnar på min spellista ikväll

[demonoflight]

I don't know why but this whole performance feels like cultural appropriation despite Meira Omar being like. Of that culture.

Maybe it's because of all the Swedes on the writing team.
