Eurovision | quarter-final 3

And so there is but one quarter final left...

I'm inclined to believe that I wasn't alone in discovering Björn Ranelids and Sara Lis song "Mirakel" not to be all that bad. Great potential as they say.

Other good songs were Love Generation performing "Just a little bit" in some sassy [one-legged??] outfits.

Molly Sandén instead kept both pant-legs on while singing a powerful ballad about broken hearts ["Why am I crying"], could it be the remains from her recently shattered relationship with last years winner Eric Saade?

A welcome newcomer to me, Carolina Wallin Pérez, whom performed with "Sanningen" left me wanting more. She was apparently made famous for interpreting [or improving if you weren't a Kent fan to begin with] Kent-songs.

The ever one-hit wonder, Andreas Johnson tried his luck [yet again], this year with the corny title "Lovelight". As usual I find it hard to remember his song but it did have Andreas's familiar sound, I remember that much.

The first out, Youngblood with a song sporting the same name started with an energy matching Sean Banan's. It was quickly forgotten however as the second performer Maria BanHajji managed to get entangled in some false notes. I guess all that fire on stage made her nervous.

I guess Mattias Andréasson felt sorry for everyone's sake after the two performances and kept on apologising ["Förlåt mig"], it just went on and on and on.... yes we're sorry too Mattias, but that song just wasn't that good.
My personal score board so far:
  1. Loreen –"Euphoria"
  2. Marie Serneholt – "Salt And Pepper"
  3. Love Generation - "Just a little bit"
  4. Carolina Wallin Pérez - "Sanningen"
  5. Dead byApril – "Mystery"
  6. Timoteij - "Stormande hav" / Molly Sandén - "Why am I crying"
