The opening of first semifinal:

And here's the songs of first semifinal of "Melodifestivalen-2025".

1)Albin Jonsen feat Pa- Upp i Luften.

Well, not bad beginning, but i don't feel some attraction to this song, the vibe of this song positive of course, but i didn't find something catching tune in this song. I give 6 points from 10. The video of the perfomance:

2)Maja Ivarssom-Kamikaze Life.

Wooow! I've waited for this long time that Maja can participate in Melodifestivalen" and finally time has come. Of course i love "The Sounds", i even have some favorite songs from this band. And this song sounds in really "The Sounds" style. But i like it, i give 7 points from 10.

The video of the perfomance:

3)John Lundvik-Voice Of The Silent.

Well, as i see participation in "Eurovision-2019" wasn't enough for John, but i liked his two previous songs "My Turn" and "Too Late For Love", the last one he perfomed in "Eurovision Song Contest-2019" and received fifth place. Ah, he perfome in "Melodifestivalen" for a fourth time. This songs sounds good. And i liked his red outfit which so perfectly fitted for him. Well, all i can say is just a good song. I give 7 points from 10.

The video of the perfomance:

4)Meira Omar-Hush Hush.

I liked this song. Sounded very in bollywood style. And choreography looked like from some indish movies, this is a very plus for this amazing perfomance. Good job. I give 8 points from 10.

The video of the perfomance:

5)Adrian Macéus-Vår Första Gång.

I knew Maceus that he shooted in some swedish christmas TV-Series but i don't remember the name of this TV-serial. But the song seemed to me not interesting, just nothing catching in this song despite that Adrian sang very good. Sorry but i give 4 points from 10.

The video of the perfomance:

6)Linnea Henriksson-Den Känslan.

Oj, oj, oj, finally another big swedish star joined to the "Melodifestivalen". I remember she was even the host of some of "Melodifestivalen. But song sounded not really interesting. Again nothing catching and it seemed for me that Linnea sang very fragile. So, i give 5 points from 10. The video of the perfomance:

And that was all the six songs from first semifinal.

At the interval act perfomed Kärrijä and Hooja with the song "San-Francisco Boy". Kärrijä represented Finland in "Eurovision Song Contest-2023" and Finland was close to win for the second time but victory went to the Loreen, who represented Sweden for the second time. I liked this perfomance. Fantastic, really.

And so, who went to the final?

JOHN LUNDVIK!!!

At the second interval act perfomed Ravaillacz Teens with the song"En Riktig Jävla Schlager".

But it was just to make a little long to wait who the second semifinalist?

And who is it?

It s.... MAJA IVARSSON!!!

Meira Omar goes to the Semi Kvalen final. And Albin Jonssen feauturing Pa with Adrian Macéus and Linnea Henriksson is out of competition.

Congratulations to the Maja and John for the passing to the final.

Hello everyone. Finally i found a time to write a mini review about the fifth and the last semifinal. At this time the location for the fifth semifinal was Jonköping. The beginning of semifinal began with perfomance of hosts who sang the parody version of songs from "Melodifestivalen" "Las Vegas" and "Picadilly Circus". Very funny that Kristina tried to take a high note of this song. And it's not easy, but okay.

The video of the opening of fifth semifinal of "Melodifestivalen-2025".

Okay, let's watch the perfomances of today's semifinalists.

1)Arvingärna-Ring Baby Ring.

This band perfomed in "Eurovision-1993" with unforgettable "Elouise". And they participated at the "Melodifestivalen" several times. I loved their perfomance with the song "I Do, I Do, I Do", i only don't remember what year it was. This year's song also not bad, good choreography and good vocal. I give 6 points out of 10.

The video of perfomance:

2)Arwin-This Dream Of Mine.

Well, not very interesting song from newcomer, but the conception of perfomance was not bad, when Arwin levitated a little. So, i give 5 points out of 10.

The video of the perfomance:

3)Saga Ludvigsson-Hate You So Much.

Not bad song with dancing, country tune, good choreography, and body of Saga was brilliant. It's all that i can say. I give 6 points out of 10.

The video of the perfomance:

4)Victoria Silvstedt-Love It.

Also not bad. The song sound at the style of the end of 90-s or the beginning of 2000-s. Another thing that confused me that the vocal of Victoria sounded very quietly, and backing vocals was more lounder than Victoria. Is it just me that noticed that? Maybe this happened because of technical problems. But anyway, i give 7 points out of 10.

The video of the perfomance:

5)Vilhelm Buchaus-I'm Yours.

Well, i don't know. Nothing catching, nothing interesting. Absolutely nothing at this song. Sorry. I give 2 out of 10.

The video of the perfomance:

6)Scarlet-Sweet-n-Psycho.

Honestly, their previous song from the last year was more energetic and driving, than this new. This years song seemed for me not interesting, there wasn't unexpected moments like was in previous. Maybe, i need to listen many times, but, the vocal wasn't bad. And choreography was fantastic. So, i give 6 points out of 10. The video of the perfomance:

And that was all last six perfomances from the fifth semifinal of "Melodifestivalen".

At the first interval act perfomed Keyyo, later the swedish duet "Fame", who participated in "Eurovision Song Contest" joined to Keyyo for a little bit. But i liked this interval act. In this interval act Keyyo sang about her life in Sweden and how she knew about Melodifestivalen". Super, just super. The video of the perfomance:

And the first finalist from fifth semifinal is...

SAGA LUDVIGSSON-Hate You So Much.

Arja Saijonmaa,who perfomed at the ”Melodifestivalen-1987” and ended at the second place inducted to the swedish "Hall Of Fame".

At the second interval act perfomed comedian duet "Ronny And Ragge", who sang parody of the songs from "Melodifestivalen". The video of the perfomance:

And who is the second finalist?

It's.... SCARLET!!!!

Arwin passed to the semikval and it means that "Arvingarna", Victoria Silvstedt and Vilhelm Buchaus are out of "Melodifestivalen.

Congratulations to the last pair of finalists Saga Ludvigsson and "Scarlet".

And the last question is… who will have the second ticket for the Grand Final of the "Melodifestivalen-2025"?

Meira Omar-Hush Hush-210 points.

Kaliffa Salute-197 points.

Hello everyone, i watched the fourth semifinal of "Melodifestivalen-2025". The semifinal was located in Malmö. At the opening of this semifinal apperead Ace Wilder who perfomed in "Melodifestivalen" in 2014, 2016 and 2017. I missed her so much. I heard that she recently became a mom and now she's busy doing something. The opening of the fourth semifinal of "Melodifestivalen-2025".

The opening of the fourth semifinal of "Melodifestivalen-2025".

Now i found the time to write my review about this. Let's see it. 1)Andreas Lundstedt-Vicious.

Andreas perfomed many times at the "Melodifestivalen" in solo and as in "Alcazar". But his perfomance was very good. Very amazing, catching and enjoyable song. Super choreography. Very good work, Andreas. I give 8 points out of 10. The video of the perfomance:

2)Ella Tiritiello-Du är där.

Nothing to say. Boring ballad song, nothing cathing, I'm sorry, but that's not for me. I give 3 points out of 10.(My personal opinion).

The video of the perfomance:

3)Tennessee Tears-Yours.

Well, not bad, very harmonical vocals, which fit to each other, very enjoyable to listen, very good to listen in car, or sing in karaoke with someone in duet. And very nice melody. I give 6 points out of 10. The video of the perfomance:

4)KAJ-Bara Bada Bastu.

Woow! Amazing that someone from Finland participate in "Melodifestivalen". I can say that is a very positive, amazing, nice perfomance. As i understand this song is about sauna, right? But i liked it, super choreography, nice vocal. Brå jobbat, guys! I give you 7 points out of 10.

The video of the perfomance:

5)Amena-Do Good Be Better.

Well, sounded not very interesting, although Amena sang not bad, but sometimes she sang a little of out of vocal. But i don't know, just nothing catching. That's all i can say. I give 4 points out of 10.

The video of the perfomance:

6)Måns Zelmerlöw-Revolution.

Oh my, i didn't expect that Måns will back at the "Melodifestivalen" with more powerful song than "Heroes", even with such stronger title. Well, i can say it's really powerful song. Måns gave everything from himself. What an impressive perfomance. I think it's really best than "Heroes". I will not wonder if he win second time on "Melodifestivalen". I really loved it. I give full 10 points out of 10.

The video of the perfomance:

And that was all six perfomances from fourth semifinal.

At the first interval act Edvin and Keyyo sang a parody about the participants of fourth semifinal. It was super funny.  The video of the perfomance:

And first who passed to the final is...

MÅNS ZELMERLÖW!!!

At the second interval act perfomed the participant of "Melodifestivalen-2015" Hasse Andersson with the song "Guld Och Gröna Skogar". It was ten years ago, but this song will always svenska favorit.

Hello everyone, finally i found a time to write a review of a third semifinal of “Melodifestivalen-2025”. This time, the third final was in Vasterås. And i can tell it was the most interesting semifinal, which i watched. Well, let s begin.

The third semifinal was opened by swedish icon of revue,singer,actress Eva Rydberg. She competeted in “Melodifestivalen-2021” together with Eva Roos, but it didn't reach to the final. And now Eva perfomed parody of Loreen with her songs which won in “Eurovision Song Contest”. It's of course “Tattoo” and Euphoria”. I liked the end how Eva sang “Up, up, up, ner, ner, ner”(”down, down, down”). It was really amazing. And she danced so fucking beautiful at her age of 82. God bless her!

The opening of third semifinal of "Melodifestivalen-2025".

And the second opening was perfomance by swedish singer “Pandora a.k.a Anneli Magnusson, her song “Trust me” was very huge hit in 90-s. So let's back to the 90-s and watch her perfomance.

So, let's watch today's songs' which were at the third semifinal of “Melodifestivalen-2025”.

1)Greczula-Believe Me.

The melody of the song reminds me the melody of the song "Bohemian Rhapsody" by "Queen". As if Freddy Mercury never died. It was long time, when glad-rock perfomed in "Melodifestivalen. But i liked it. I give 7 points from 10.

The video of the perfomance:

2)Malou Prytz-24K Gold.

Very very poor perfomance. Malou sang very bad, she didn't hit in right tone of song. Sorry Malou, but i give 2 points from 10.(This is my own opinion. I'm sorry if someone not agree with me.)

The video of the perfomance:

3)Björn Holmgren-Rädda Mig.

Not interesting song, who have no catching tune, boring melody, with depressive lyrics. Sorry, it's not for me. I give 2 points from 10.(My personal opinion, sorry if it hurts someone).

The video of the perfomance:

4)Dolly Style-YIHAA.

I'm extremely happy that “Dolly Style” backed to the “Melodifestivalen”. And they backed with more amazing, dance song with catching tune like previous songs which were in “Melodifestivalen”. Even cowboy style pleasing the eyes. Very good work, girls. I give 8 points from 10.

The video of the perfomance:

5)Angelino-Teardrops.

Not bad song, with nice tempo and tune, and Angelino sang not bad. What can i add more? His voice is reminding me the voice of swedish singer Tusse, who perfomed at the “Eurovision-2021”. But not bad, not bad. I give 7 points from 10.

The video of the perfomance:

7)Annika Wickihalder-Life Again.

Oh my God! This is fucking incredible!!! Annika just killed me with her powerful voice. What an amazing perfomance. She's a killer queen! It's really beautiful! Really love it. I give full 10 points from 10.

The video of the perfomance:

And that was all the six perfomances from the third semifinal of “Melodifestivalen-2025”.

Congratulations to Greczula and Annika for the passing to the final.

Hello everyone, today is the second semifinal of "Melodifestivalen-2025". And very interesting who those two finalists who will pass directly? The beginning was very interesting. It was shooted as it was in old days of twenty century. This time the second semifinal was in Gothenburg, Sweden.

The perfomance of swedish singer and participant of "Eurovision-1987" Lotta Engberg with swedish band "Triple And Touch" became the bonus to the opening of second semifinal of "Melodifestivalen-2025".

The video of the perfomance:

But now, let go to the perfomances of this evening.

1)Nomi Tales-Funniest Thing.

Nomi looked like some Disney Princess singing from some cartoon. She sang very nice and i liked the choreography. Well, all i can say it's good. I give 7 points from 10. The video of perfomance:

2)Schlagerz-Don Juan.

Well, not bad, although those ladies sang amazingly, but dansband music that s not my cup of tea, But at this song you can hear that this song was composed in "Waterloo style", i'm sorry, but "Waterloo" by ABBA was the best. Well, i give 4 points from 10. The video of perfomance:

3)Erik Segerstedt-Show Me What Love Is.

Very nice and beautiful ballad which sounded pleasant for my ears, Many catching tunes and powerful vocal. it's rarely when some ballade song catch my attention. Erik did amazing work! Bravo. I give 8 points from 10.

The video of perfomance:

4)Klara Hammarström-On And On And On And On.

Woooow! That's a super bombastic song! I love her outfit, the choreography and of course the song! It's really sounded epic. Bravo Klara! You did the great job. I give 9 from 10 points. The video of perfomance:

5)Fredrik Lundman-The Heart of a Swedish Cowboy.

Well, i'm not a fan of country style, of course Fredrik sang not bad, but no catching tune in this song, which could attract me. a song which you can listen only when you feel depressed, or just for one time. I give 3 points from 10.(I'm sorry, again it's my own opinion.) The video of perfomance:

6)Kaliffa-Salute.

Not bad song for the some summer party and the vocal of Kaliffa reminds a little of Big Sean. Just usual summer song it's all i can say. I give 6 points from 10. The video of perfomance:

And of course we couldn't not put the "Mellanakt" of the second semifinal with the host of "Melodifestivalen-2025" Edvin who sang a parody song "För Mannen Som Byter Kanal"(The original was sang by swedish singer Roger Pontare "När Vindarna Viskar Min Namn"("When Spirits Are Calling My Name"), with Which Roger perfomed in "Eurovision-2000".

So it means it's time to know who passed directly to the final. And the first who passed directly to the final is… ERIK SEGERSTEDT!!!

And the second finalist is... KLARA HAMMARSTRÖM!!!

Kaliffa passed to the Semi Kvalen Final, so it means that Nomi Tales, Schlagerz and Fredrik Lundman is out of competition.
