The most anticipated, the biggest and by many the best national final kicks off tomorrow night with the first semifinal in Göteborg. One minute of the songs is on internet on SVT's website as usual since today and ... well... I must say I am very disappointed. I think Melodifestivalen is very overrated anyways. People love to put down the national finals of Malta and Romania for example but in my opion they often are more interesting musically than Melodifestival. It is huge. True. It is well produced. True. It's an event comparable to the real thing, Eurovision song contest itself. True. But a great show, fantastic performances that have been thought over second my second, every note and every movement and camera angle, but... what's left when you take off all that? Just an ordinary national final with average songs that no one would care if they were not by reasonable famous singers and from Melodifestivalen. There. I said it. Well, that's just my opinion.Tomorrow night we will have Nina Söderquist, Jonathan Fagerlund, Shirley Clamp, Scotts, Emilia, Alcazar, Caroline af Ugglas and Marie Serneholt fighting for the two places in the final.
