Well the Internets has gone predictably mental with lots of “OH EM GEE ITS #MELFEST – LETS GET ALL THE SONGZ”.
… which explains why OnEurope has delayed this announcement by 24 hours to let you all calm the hell down! So let’s look at the four 2017 Melodifestivalen semi-finals in order.
| Song | Performer(s) | Jury | Televote | Total | Psn |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| My Dreams | NAPOLI | 29 | 7 | 36 | 6 |
| Angel | Lis | 17 | 2 | 9 | 9 |
| Love Is My Colour | Dariya | 14 | 0 | 14 | 11 |
| I Believe In a Miracle | Gunesh | 59 | 3 | 62 | 3 |
| Tolko tantsuy | Muzzart | 18 | 12 | 30 | 7 |
| Summer Love | Valeriya Sadovskaya | 28 | 0 | 28 | 8 |
| Electric Toys | Rostany | 9 | 0 | 9 | 13 |
| Supernova | Janet | 5 | 0 | 5 | 14 |
| Stand As One | Alexey Gross | 40 | 5 | 45 | 5 |
| Accent | Milki | 37 | 10 | 47 | 4 |
| Time | Uzari & Maimuna | 68 | 8 | 76 | 1 |
| Fighter | Beatrees | 10 | 6 | 16 | 10 |
| Drive | Vitaliy Voronko | 1 | 0 | 1 | 15 |
| Don't Save My Name | Anastasiya Malashkevich | 62 | 4 | 66 | 2 |
| Giving Up | Tasha Odi | 9 | 1 | 10 | 12 |
This is the big Semi-Final as far as I am concerned. Ace AND Charlotte fighting it out, with Boris probably going to be a contender for the Andra Chansen heat.
| Song | Performer |
|---|---|
| A Million Years | Mariette |
| Good Lovin' | Benjamin Wahlgren Ingrosso |
| Hearts Align | Dismissed |
| Himmel och hav | Roger Pontare |

Off to Malmeeeer the following week. Only heard of Roger, so he must be a shoo-in, no?
| Song | Performer |
|---|---|
| Boogieman Blues | Owe Thörnqvist |
| Crucified | Bella & Filippa |
| Gotta Thing | The Fooo Conspiracy |
| Gravity | Jasmine Kara |
| I Can't Go On | Robin Bengtsson |
| Kiss You Goodbye | Anton Hagman |
| Snurra min jord | Krista Siegfrids |
Week three and we’re off to an unpronounceable up north town, where we get Robin Bengtsdon from last year’s final, Krista from everything Eurovision-related for the past three years, and The Fooo Conspiracy.
| Song | Performer |
|---|---|
| As I Lay Me Down | Wiktoria |
| Bound to Fall | Les Gordons |
| Du får inte ändra på mig | Sara Varga and Juha Mulari |
| En värld full av strider | Jon Henrik Fjällgren feat. Aninia |
| När ingen ser | Axel Schylström |
| Running with Lions | Alice |
| Statements | Loreen |
Loreen! – Soreen! – you’ve gotta have a system! She’s clearly the star in this fourth stacked semi. There’s also Wiktoria from last year, and Jon Fjallgren feat Diacritics is also having another go. I suspect two of these three will go through to the final if all is right with the world.
Of course – there is a fifth Semi Final – Andra Chansen – that takes place somewhere in Sweden before a massive song and dance gay-tacular on the 11th March in the Friends Arena in Solna.
I bet you all can’t wait to hear these 28 fantastic songs! – I know I can’t!!!.
