SWEDEN – It appears that some songs are going to be sung – YAY (!)

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.

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.

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!!!.
