Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

As Solju in Finland also Jon Henrik Fjällgren joiked himself directly to the national final. The other qualifier in Sweden is 16-year-old Isa. Andreas Weise and Kristin Amparo will get another chance in Andra chansen while Ellen Benediktson was left 5th, Kalle Johansson 6th and Andreas Johnson 7th and last..... 

Melodifestivalen semifinal three comes from Östersund. No previous winners in this heat but Ellen and Andreas Johnsson have already tasted some MF glory and success. Also in this heat Jon Henrik Fjällgren, Talent winner and a very interesting mix of Sami culture and Colombian temper. And after hearing the snippets this blogger thinks they saved the best last, in this semi at least. Namely Kristin and Jon Henrik should go to the final. As for the rest I don't really care who gets to the second chance as none moved me in any way whatsoever.... Ellen Benediktson - Insomnia Kalle Johansson - För din skull Andreas Weise - Bring out the fire Andreas Johnson - Living to die Isa - Don't stop Kristin Amparo - I see you Jon Henrik Fjällgren - Jag är fri (Manne leam frijje)

Once again one amateur gets a ticket to Melodifestivalen semifinals and this year it is Kalle Johansson. This 17-year-old emerged as the winner of Svensktoppen Nästa and therefor won the ticket to Sweden's national selection for Eurovision and could travel all the way to Vienna. His winning song is  Den där Dan , but of course Christer Björkman & co will find him another song and the guy will propably go through a major make over during next winter.  Kalle will be the third Svesktoppen Nästa winner in the Melodifestivalen. In 2013 Therese Fredenwall came 5th in her semifinal and in 2014 Eko came last in their semifinal. Maybe Kalle will be third time lucky to make it to the final?
