My Reviews –

01 – The Hunter – A cute/silly but catchy pop/rock song. 05 Points out of 10.
02 – Better Or Worse – She’s the other “Web Qualifier”, but it’s actually kinda good. Catchy and Swedish ☺ 06 Points out of 10.
03 – En Blick Och Nånting Händer – It’s kinda retro and fun in that cute Swedish 1970’s schalger way. 05 Points out of 10.
04 – Alive – A beautiful Swedish power ballad, and she has the vocal skills to back it up. Keep an eye on this one ☺ 07 Points out of 10.
05 – Run – Cute, sincere boy rock song, but it’s pretty decent. 06 Points out of 10.
06 – E Det Fel På Mig – It’s no secret that I would take a bullet for Linda. She’s came to fame in 2005, with my Favorite MF song ever “Alla Flickor” (Seriously, I love that song pretty much more than all but like 2 ESC songs ever) and she fucking nailed it again. Amazing. Brilliant. Best Song. 7843 Points out of 10.
07 – Leaving Home – Eh, pretty boring and just..well that's it. Boring boy ballad. 03 Points out of 10.
08 – Dance Alone – Awesome dance song. Fucking brilliant! Amazing! 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.

For reals, if Linda Bengtzing doesn't win, i'll freak. If she doesn't even get a Second Chance, i place a pox on all of Sweden for the year. I hope their song fails (unless it's Something In Your Eyes or I'm in Love)

Dance Alone is also great and might win, but i'm pretty sure it'll get through to the final. It's awesome at first listen, but loses some magic after that. Alive deserves at LEAST a second chance and if Run gets through, it'll be a compliment to the taste of the Swedish voters.
