Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

  Four medicore semifinals later Sweden has its Melodifestivalen second chance round. If it was for me I'd send only two songs to the final: Margaret and Mendez. Period. All the rest is useless fillers. Margaret - In my cabana Vs. Moncho - Cuba libre No minimal doubt here. I like Margaret and her song's fun. While I totally dislike this fake Cuba nonsense..... Remaida - All the feels Vs. Olivia Eliasson - Never learn Well, I don't either of these, but Renaida is more interesting.... Felix Sandman - Every single day Vs. Mimi Warner - Songburning I don't care about these two either but I choose Felix, just because... well, it's a bit more original. Sigrid Bernson - Patrick Swayze Vs. Mendez - Everyday No question here either. Mendez all the way. Compared to Moncho he's at least some how authentic and better in every way. Oh and Sigrid is nonsense.

Sweden has its third Meloifestivalen 2018 semifinal tonight and it's still very bland. When I saw Cuba libre in the title I was expecting something great. Instead, I don't feel Cuba in it at all and I should know, I still have the Cuban suntan on my skin! It sounds like Swedish mock song with African rhythms and the ladies "dressed as Cubans" are ridiculous and more of a joke. As Cuban as Booga-loo dansa rockenrolla. ... Shame on you. Shame! Where are now those people who shout out for using Indian headpieces of Sami dresses? This is as embarassing and bad - and so wrong. Also Mendez seems to be mocking flamenco dancers. What's going on?! But at least the song is better, and not so obviously fake. Actually the only song I liked a bit in this semi.
