It's finally here... the fourth and last semi of this years Melodifestivalen! (#ThisCameWayTooFast) Who are the ones to qualify most likely tonight and what can we expect? Check out my review for Semi 4!

Three weeks after the first semi-final we have arrived to enjoy the fourth and last semi-final of this years Melodifestivalen! Some big names here and also some favorites for the overall win in #Melfest!

First, here my ranking of the fourth semi after listening to the 2:30 versions HERE:

FINAL
1. Molly Sandén – Youniverse (Rating after the 2:30 version -> 92/100)
2. Linda Bengtzing – Killer girl (Rating after the 2:30 version -> 90/100)

AC
3. Frans – If I were sorry (Rating after the 2:30 version -> 88/100)
4. Dolly Style – Rollercoaster (Rating after the 2:30 version -> 84/100)

Still bookies favorite for the overall win and an entry to look out to is Molly Sandén! It's her third try this year and she is starting as No. 7 tonight! Eventhough I heard a lot of disappointment in the Eurovision world, when we first heard a snippet of her song "Youniverse", but I still think that it's a good song and has good chances to go to the final tonight! We'll see, if she has a chance to win #Melfest!

One of my favorites tonight is Linda! She has always such amazing songs, but as it's hard for schlager, since they began to use the app (more used by younger people) it'll be hard for her to qualify! If everything fits, I think the second chance round would be possible! I'd be happy for her, as I love her song "Killer Girl"!

Now we need to mention the rehearsal audience poll from the rehearsal yesterday. Quite surprising... check it out ->

1. Frans – ”If I were sorry”: 52% (226 röster)
2. Molly Sandén – ”Youniverse”: 14% (62 röster)
3. Panetoz – ”Håll om mig hårt”: 12% (53 röster)
4. Eclipse – ”Runaways”: 8% (35 röster)
5. Dolly Style – ”Rollercoaster”: 7% (34 röster)
6. Martin Stenmarck – ”Du tar mig tillbaks”: 3% (13 röster)
7. Linda Bengtzing – ”Killer Girl”: 2% (10 röster)

So for me it's totally surprising, that Frans landslided this poll, as Molly was the huge favorite and I'm curious, if he won because of the song or because he was popular in the audience yesterday.

A huge news page called Aftonbladet also asks who'll win tonight and this is their result ->

Molly Sandén 51.69%
Frans 11.54%
Linda Bengtzing 10.54%
Martin Stenmarck 9%
Panetoz 7.92%
Eclipse 5.31%
Dolly Style 4%

Votes: 1,300

See, this is totally different, as this voting is mostly because of how popular artists are and not because of the song. But, as we know, many people vote for their favorite artists, so this is still important for the result tonight!

I think Molly and Frans are quite save as the qualifiers for the final, but the other positions are wide open for the other artists!
