It's like the FA Cup!

 

[Penelope]

Semi 1

Danne Stråhed
Anna Bergendahl
Tone Sekelius

Semi 2

Cazzi Opeia
Lillasyster
THEOZ

 

[Penelope]

Semi 1

Danne Stråhed
Anna Bergendahl
Tone Sekelius
Alvaro Estrella

Semi 2

Cazzi Opeia
Lillasyster
THEOZ
Lisa Miskovsky

Nicely balanced!

 

[Kratz]

Lisa and Anna being kept apart is presumably good for both of them.

 

[Alias #23]

Cazzi, 55, FTW please

 

[Pingu]

That should be Anna safe, and I'd assume one of the Semi 2 slots will go to Theoz so that leaves one space open in each.

I'd like to see Tone qualify but I'd imagine Alvaro will manage it as the only one there that skewed towards younger voters and he did beat Tone in their heat.

Really hoping that Cazzi can nab the final slot. I've really gone off Lisa's song, not sure why.

 

[Kratz]

Yep, assuming Theoz is going through, I would want to see Cazzi take the next spot over Lisa.

 

[Pingu]

Realistically I think Lisa has got the other spot. She has at least 3 12s coming to her from the older voters and televoters, and we know already that she beat Cazzi when they were directly competing before.

 

[Tisch]

Is there still uproar among the casuals about her supposed duff vote that saw her miss out on second? That might just see her through. I've gone off the song as well. It doesn't work quite as well among some of the bangers in studio form.

 

[Hak]

It's so unfair that the 3rd placers are not seeded.

 

[Hak]

Everyone want's to avoid THEOZ and be in the same group as Danne.

 

[VoR]

How they placed in their heats. Due to the app breakdown in Heat 1 we don't know, but let's face it, THEOZ was clearly third.

Semi 1

Danne Stråhed - Hallabaloo (4th?)
Anna Bergendahl - Higher Power (3rd)
Tone Sekelius - My Way (4th)
Alvaro Estrella - Suave (3rd)

Semi 2

Cazzi Opeia - I Can't Get Enough (4th)
Lillasyster - Till Our Days Are Over (4th)
THEOZ - Som du vill (3rd?)
Lisa Miskovsky - Best To Come (3rd)

 

[Hak]

It feels like entrants in heat 1 got the lucky draw. Anna, Tone and Alvaro all have good chances, especially Alvaro with most high energy numbers being piled on in Heat 2.

 

[Penelope]

Running order:

Semi 1

1. Tone Sekelius - My Way
2. Alvaro Estrella - Suave
3. Danne Stråhed - Hallabaloo
4. Anna Bergendahl - Higher Power

Semi 2

1. THEOZ - Som du vill
2. Lisa Miskovsky - Best To Come

They're pushing for Anna and Cazzi to Finals

 

[Hak]

Can we have a poll on who we want to advance @Penelope?

 

[Penelope]

I imagined we wouldn't be getting reprises, but I hadn't realised we weren't getting a voting sequence either this Saturday. That's going to be horrendously dull television after the songs are over.

 

[Kratz]

‘For time reasons’

It takes like 5 minutes a piece!

 

[Pingu]

I imagined we wouldn't be getting reprises, but I hadn't realised we weren't getting a voting sequence either this Saturday. That's going to be horrendously dull television after the songs are over.

We’ve never had reprises in Andra Chansen and the voting sequence is shit anyway so shut up.

 

[Tisch]

No. Ignore.

 

[COB]

When are we getting this week's snippets?

 

[COB]

 

[D5K]

Shame for Cazzi and Tone that they're in semis with songs they've already finished behind.

 

[Jacques]

My choices would be Alvaro/Anna and Theoz/Cazzi, but I don't really care about any in the first batch aside from Alvaro and am resigned to Lisa getting through which I can live with as long as it's not at the expense of Theoz.

 

[FetchFugly]

Shame for Cazzi and Tone that they're in semis with songs they've already finished behind.

They are both doing better than the songs they finished behind on streaming though for what it is worth (and Lisa Ajax says not much). I know you would expect Cazzi to be ahead of Lisa but I don't think that is the case for Tone and Alvaro. Maybe there is some momentum there?

Saying that I would rather Alvaro went through than Tone. Better song and performance for me.

 

[Suomi]

The fact that is so hard to decide is testament to a great national final and Swedish voters getting the job done in terms of weeding out the CHAFF

Other than the chaff they sent straight through to the final.

 

[Apoca]

Planning on skipping this to go and see ESC WINNER of 2020 ERIKA VIKMAN live

 

[Kratz]

HALLO

 

[FetchFugly]

Has anyone got the link on which the Google translate works on the subtitles please?

 

[COB]

We aren't watching but @ZenGiraffe is usually able to get this.

 

[Kratz]

Has anyone got the link on which the Google translate works on the subtitles please?

This exists?

 

[Kratz]

And I will be in the cold ground before I call this 'Semi Final 5'

 

[Raining on Me]

Has anyone got the link on which the Google translate works on the subtitles please?

Not specifically but the option comes up automatically for me when playing via Microsoft Edge, if that helps

 

[FetchFugly]

We aren't watching but @ZenGiraffe is usually able to get this.

I have been hunting round the SVT.se page which has worked in previous weeks is directing me to svtplay.se

 

[ZenGiraffe]

The link I had last time isn't working and I'm not seeing an equivalent. Last time I got it working it was an embedded video on a live blog

 

[Pingu]

Oscar looks like he’s just come back from a night out at 3am in the rain.
