"ed sheeran när han är sexig men på svenska" är inte den komplimangen du tror att det är

[lonelier-version-of-you]

jag har gått så fel så många, så många gånger nu

hur kan det va svårt att se att allt det jag vill ha är du?

jag må va blind, men det är man i mina skor

kom och älska din idiot

vart jag än är på den här jorden tänker jag bara på dig

och det är svårt att kunna andas när du finns bredvid mig

inget spelar någon roll, visaren kan stå på noll

för allt jag vill ha finns under dina kläder

Help, I’ve fallen for this song (and Amanda’s music in general) and I can’t get up.

It’s so beautiful and tender and loving and kinda Johnrik vibes tbh and I can’t stop listening to it.

This semifinal wasn’t nearly as terrible as I was expecting based on internet comments, but these Hall of Fame clips are playing and I’m already having trouble remembering the songs.  My ranking:

Mariette, “Shout It Out”

Faith Kakembo, “Crying Rivers” 

 Amanda Aasa, “Late”

Anis don Demina, “Vem e som oss”

Mohombi, “Winners” 

Drängarna, “Piga och dräng”

Albin Johnsén, “Livet börjar nu”

[worryingkind]

This is my favourite so far. But not sure that is saying much. I feel really critical this semi. 

I think I’m gonna kinda like this in studio version, but I don-t think her voice is holding up llive today.

Amanda Aasa Won A Place In The Melodifestivalen

In the final of P4 next which was decided on Saturday, Amanda Aasa won a place in the Melodifestivalen.

On Saturday evening, the live broadcast of P4 Next was held at Linköping Concert & Congress. Each year, one of the competitors wins an offer to participate in next year’s edition of the Melodifestivalen.

This year it was Amanda Aasa, 22, who competed for Västernorrland.

– It’s really fun. We…

There is this girl in my class. Her name is Amanda Aasa and she just released her new single Wrong Chemistry on Spotify. She is really talented and the song is crazy good! This will totally be my jam this summer.

Please spread the word! xxx

4. Amanda Aasa, “Late” - Song sounds nice to my ears. It looks like she is not accustomed to performing highly choreographed routines on large stages; she looks a thousand times more comfortable when she can move relatively freely.

Comments on the entire show--

I am surprisingly invested in this intro musical drama.

1. Frida Öhrn, “We Are One” – “Ha, predictable spoiler” - oh dear that lyric.  Song is a little shouty.  Was getting a bit of an Arja Saijonmaa vibe.

2. William Stridh, “Molnljus” – He seemed a little nervous at the start.  This reminds me a little bit of Amanda Aasa’s performance last week in that it sounds like a decent song and a stronger stage performance could really lift it.

3. Nanne Grönvall, “Carpool Karaoke” – I was already inclined to feel positively because “Håll om mig” was what introduced me to Melodifestivalen (and by extension Eurovision).  That might have been the single most fun performance in all 4 weeks.  

4. Victor Crone, “Troubled Waters” – I like his speaking voice more than his singing voice.  He always sounds slightly flat to me.  (EDIT: or is it sharp?  Whatever it is, it’s not on the note.)

5. Ellen Benediktson & Simon Peyron, “Surface” – Could use a little more in the staging but it was well done.  l like the way their voices blend.

6. Jakob Karlberg, “Om du tror att jag saknar dig” – Hmm a Mondrian kind of thing going on. He sounds a lot better when singing higher in his range, the verses don’t really favor him.

7.  Hanna Ferm, “Brave” – I had totally forgotten she competed last year but do remember thinking she could have done better solo. Wow, the wind machine got started early.  The staging doesn’t quite support the song.  I get the feeling this would be better in the studio version.  

My ranking:

Nanne Grönvall, “Carpool Karaoke”

Ellen Benediktson & Simon Peyron, “Surface”

William Stridh, “Molnljus”

Jakob Karlberg, “Om du tror att jag saknar dig”

Hanna Ferm, “Brave”

Victor Crone, “Troubled Waters”

Frida Öhrn, “We Are One”

Whoa, I really was not expecting Frida Öhrn to get through the first round. 

And no Nanne???

The finalist’s reprise of “Brave” is way better than the first performance.

Frida Öhrn again, huh.

The finalist’s reprise of “Troubled Waters”...  no comment.

IMO Dotter and Anna Bergendahl are still the best of the current finalists.
