Key takeaways

• The Mamas did win the raw public vote with 1 610 446 to Dotter's 1 489 636
• Felix Sandman was FOURTH in Heat One and only narrowly beat Frida Öhrn to limp through AC.
• Anna Bergendahl won Heat Two overall, but Dotter had a higher raw vote by over 20,000
• Mariette comfortably won Heat 3, and Mohombi only narrowly avoided being pushed into AC by Anis Don Demina.
• Hanna Ferm won Heat Four. William Stridh was third on the raw vote but was pushed to 5th when the voting demographic point system kicked in. Ellen's Shallow re-write was 5th on raw votes.
• Anna was once again much more popular with older voters, scoring ZERO points from under 16s and full marks from all over 35 demos.
• Mariette did fall down to last place on the raw vote by the finals.
• Linda Bengtzing would have qualified to AC in Heat 4.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Faith Kakembo was 2nd in the televote of SF3, the app voting really did her in.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Sonja got 1/4th of her points from the televote, who likely pushed her through. She'd have made AC if they were deciding, as well as William Stridh in Heat 4.

Malou got more votes than Paul in their AC duel, but he went through #justice4ballerina

 

[Kala]

Yeah, if anyone is hard done by here it’s Malou.

Also re Linda - we have no idea if she’d have made AC if she had been in heat 4. On raw numbers yes, but you’re comparing apples with oranges here. If you are basing it on that then Malou would have made the final if she had been in any other heat. We don’t know how they would have ranked against each other.

 

[Pingu]

Exactly, stop clutching at straws with the Linda thing. It was a massive dud and nobody cared.

 

[Will]

That's gotta hurt for William Stridh - though I expect SVT will now give him an automatic place in next year's line-up if he wants it.

Malou though - she can't return a third year in a row

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Didn't stop Gladys del Pilar from doing so

 

[Penelope]

Yeah, if anyone is hard done by here it’s Malou.

Also re Linda - we have no idea if she’d have made AC if she had been in heat 4. On raw numbers yes, but you’re comparing apples with oranges here. If you are basing it on that then Malou would have made the final if she had been in any other heat. We don’t know how they would have ranked against each other.

I mean given the app practically encourages you to vote for multiple songs, there's no real reason to suppose she would have lost out for reasons of comparison against other songs.

I am pleased that the young males crashed and burned this year (relatively speaking). Particularly that drop of PISS DRIBBLE Felix.

I found Felix rather catchy by the end. But yes, a female Top 4 is amazing.
