Loading ...- Cazzi Opeia โ I Canยดt Get Enough
A powerful opening for the show with adequate vocals and rainbow colours on stage. Four dancers accompany the performer who’s actively participating in the act. Flawless rehearsal but not something which will remain in your mind during the voting.
- Lancelot โ Lyckligt slutโฏ
A band accompany Lancelot on a stage full of golden colours. He performs a stunning ballad in Swedish and he is proudly defending his title as one of the top favourites (by the bookies) for the direct qualification tomorrow night.
- Lisa Miskovsky โ Bestโฏto Comeโฏ
Lisa is experienced and you can tell from her flawless act on stage, where along with a band give static performance by singing a country ballad which could stand out and become a memorable tune for the audience. On stage, a prop of a train station has been set. The vocals are perfect.
- Tribe Friday โ Shut Me Up
A punk-rock performance with 2000’s vibes with a stage presentation accompanied by TV monitors on stage. A simple and structured performance that certainly stands out but it’s up to the stage and the mood of the audience and viewers tomorrow night to decide their fate in the contest.
- Faith Kakembo โ Freedom
Having the 5th position in Melodifestivalen in 2020, Faith is back to claim a spot in the final. Solo opening but six backing singers follow in the second chorus. You can say that this reminds us of the 2021 Swedish entry. Perfect vocals in a certainly demanding song.
- Linda Bengtzing โ Fyrfaldigt hurra!
This is the 8th time Linda participates in Melodifestivalen with a total schlager pop song ideal for the viewers who will love it and dance to it, no matter if they vote for it or not. Starting from the small stage, Linda goes to a specially made small stage for her and continues her performance among the audience. The last part of the song is on the main stage where Linda is accompanied by four female dancers and fireworks in the backdrops. Very good vocals but still schlager is a very risky bid in Sweden because everyone loves it but not everyone is voting for it.
- Anders Bagge โ Bigger Than The Universe
The last entry of the evening. Anders is one of the top music industry artists and penned songs for legends like Janet Jackson, Celine Dion, Madonna and Jennifer Lopez and the Azeri entries in 2010 and 2012. Solo act with backdrop footage of nature images. Vocally perfect and get the entire audience applause. A definite qualifier.
