The hosts 

Only the men advanced in this competition.

But Lena Philipsson was probably the one who shone the strongest.

It was crowded here and there, and the lack of canned laughter made it purely desolate during tonight's competition.

But she invited herself and got to a show in an empty Annex.

Christer Björkman was rather a ballpark for her time in the spotlight.

The lyrics 

Danny Saucedos sings in Dandi dancing like this: 

Because I'm getting 


stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, 


stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid 


Stupid, stupid of you 

Is it stupid of me to think that it is stupid of Danny to write such a text?

Or am I stupid who does not understand that it does not have to be harder than that to write a text that settles on the brain?

For a while I thought it was so stupid that it was doomed to fail.

But now it went straight to the final, and that's not so stupid. 

One more thing.

It was stupid of Danny to ride a bike without a helmet, on the wrong side of the road, in the pedestrian lane, when they made the introductory film. 

Björkman 

I do not know if anyone has missed it, but Christer Björkman is doing his last year as general manager of the Melodifestivalen.

I can take that they mention it in the broadcast, that he is the host and that he gets to be with and boss about everything.

But does he have to read the introduction when the artists are presented?

Here, the artists stand in mammoth environments and move in slow motion, while he reads as if from an instruction book.

Pappadansen 

Paul Rey's song is dedicated to his two and a half month old daughter.

Think that it has been such a short time and he has already taken the step to a real daddy dance.

That "I do not know what I do, but as long as my child is happy, I drive on".

Imagine him standing there swinging his arms all alone on a giant stage.

I love it! 

The hat 

Have you ever experienced a failed haircut?

Is that what happened to the Heirs' Tommy Carlsson?

Because here the four men thumped loose and I could not let go of the hat that sat on his head.

What did that do?

I know that it is a cold snap in large parts of Sweden, but it can not be that cold inside the Annex, even if it is empty in there?

In any case, Tommy Carlsson wore the hat with a fancy, glittery jacket.
