My Reviews -

01 - Lucky You - Awesome Swedish Schlager Pop! Brill! Great chorus! So catchy and fun! 08 Points Out Of 10.
02 - Tid Att Andas - A very pretty ballad. Haunting and heartfelt. 05 Points Out Of 10.
03 - Enemy - Nice build and i dig the Attitude. It's a good mid tempo song and well you can really tell the emotion behind it is real. 05 Points Out Of 10.
04 - The King - HAHA! Dancey, cheezy and just fun. Retro and vaguely Elvis and big bandy. Other than that, eh it's just alright. 04 Points Out Of 10.
05 - I Thought It Was Forever - The brilliant and perfect Shirley Clamp (Mr. Memory MF 2003, Min Kärlek 2nd in MF 2004, Att Älska Dig 4th in MF 2005, Med Hjärtat Fyllt Af Ljus MF 2009) is back! And she brought some friends! AWESOME song. So Shirley. She can do no wrong. Amazing build and feeling and voice and just everything's perfect! 09 Points Out Of 10.
06 - No One Else Could - Eh...he's trying hard but i'm just not getting it. It sounds like a mess of noise. It's dancey and alright, but it's just lacking that special spark. Typical of Him (See MF 2007). 05 Points Out Of 10.
07 - Spring För Livet - A nice jazzy breathe of air for Sweden. Kinda subtle and catchy...i'm sure i will grow to just adore this song in time. 06 Points Out Of 10.
08 - Popular - AWESOME! Brilliant and dancey and fun! A real contender for the Ticket to Düsseldorf! 09 Points Out Of 10.

My Voting –
To select my Favorites, I decided to follow the same format as the actual MF.Round 01 -I listened to all 8 songs, in random order, 4 Times. Then I continued to listen to them, in random order on repeat. After each Listen, I took one song out of the running and assigned it Televotes based on what felt right. After I had taken out all 8 songs, the Song with the most votes advanced to my Final. The 2nd – 5th place songs advanced to the Second Round.

Popular was the best song! Yay! The king is a bit of a mystery and it's clearly evil wizards to blame for Lucky You not getting through. Besides that, i'm cool with it.
