One week has passed after the first semi final and the result were EXACTLY the way we wanted! After my review for the first semi-final it's now time for the second semi-final!

Tonight, 7 acts will fight to get to the final of Melodifestivalen 2016! The best two will make it to the final, while the places 3+4 will make it to the second chance round!

Today at 14 CET the 2:30 snippets of all seven songs were released HERE and this is how we would rank them ->

Final
1. Krista Siegfrids - Faller 88/100
2. David Lindgren - We Are Your Tomorrow 84/100

Second Chance
3. Isa - I Will Wait 82/100
4. Victor och Natten - 100% 81/100

Out
5. Wiktoria - Save Me 78/100
6. Molly Pettersson Hammar - Hunger 73/100
7. U+T+P - Håll mitt hjärta hårt 63/100

Krista and her track "Faller" is my favorite tonight! I think it'll be hard to get to the final, as she is still a bit unknown to the general swedish audience even though she sang for Finland at the ESC 2013 in Malmö #TeamDingDong! The track is so much fun and I hope Krista can transfer her energy to the audience as usual! She is such a sweetheart and my fingers are crossed for tonight!

David Lindgren - (c) SVT

Another hot favorite of mine for tonight is David Lindgren and his song "We Are Your Tomorrow"! As many of you maybe remember, we had an interview with him about #Melfest and his entry HERE! He's an amazing singer and performer + a total sweetheart in person! He'll open the show with his banger and my fingers are also crossed for him to make it to the final!

However, the overall big favorite of many people is Isa! Think her performance will be flawless, but I need to hear the song more often to maybe connect with it one day ^.^ We'll See!

If we look at the first two semi-finals this would be my ranking of the 14 songs (after the show last week the ratings of the songs could have changed) ->

Semi 1+2
1. Robin Bengtsson - Constellation Price 97/100 (+6)
2. Ace Wilder - Don’t Worry 96/100 (-2)
3. Krista Siegfrids - Faller 88/100
4. Samir & Viktor - Bada nakna - 86/100 (-4)
5. David Lindgren - We Are Your Tomorrow 84/100
5. Albin & Mattias Andréasson - Rik 84/100 (-4)
7. Isa - I Will Wait 82/100
8. Victor och Natten - 100% 81/100
9. Mimi Werner - Ain’t No Good 80/100 (-4)
10. Wiktoria - Save Me 78/100
(11. Anna Book - Himmel För Två 74/100*)
12. Molly Pettersson Hammar - Hunger 73/100
13. U+T+P - Håll mitt hjärta hårt 63/100
14. Pernilla Andersson - Mitt guld 51/100

*Disqualified


So for now it's still Robin or Ace to the win for me, but I also love this semi-final! As interval act we'll get Charlotte Perrelli (SWE 99+08) to perform the swedish version of THIS! While most of us germans are done with the german version, I'm really looking forward to hear the swedish version :D

One day before the semi-final of #melfest will take place, they always do an audience poll in the reheasal to check the favorites and this is what the audience thought yesterday:

1. David Lindgren – ”We are your tomorrow”: 34% (313 röster)
2. Wiktoria – ”Save me”: 26% (246 röster)
3. Isa – ”I will wait”: 18% (170 röster)
4. Molly Pettersson Hammar – ”Hunger”: 11% (97 röster)
5. Krista Siegfrids – ”Faller”: 6% (59 röster)
6. Tommy, Patrik & Uno – ”Håll mitt hjärta hårt”: 4% (38 röster)
7. Victor & Natten – ”100%”: 1% (11 röster)
