There was a Fire! at Melodifestivalen 2012 semi final in Malmo !


The schlager fire brigade was at hand in Malmo last night- yet quickly defused what happen when the schlager
was almost burn-out of Melo 2012 !

The last semi-final took place and the shock top-selection of Lisa Miskovsky as the winner in round five.With her moody ballad 'Why start a fire' this was not predicted in the rehearsal to the Malmo semi-final.
Danny (runner up in Melodifestivalen 2011) was expected to take top honour with his 'Amazing' and a hi-tech
dance tune perfect for Melodifestivalen stage- so the relief came soon after when Danny was annouched as the second song to go direct-to-globen. We still think Danny's new song is far better than 'In the Club' and by rights
should be Top 3 in the Melodifestivalen Globen final.

All week at Malmo - Charlotte Perrelli with her Kempe Schager tune Charlotte has spoken out how the performace was far too costly to go into a second chance round!! - so it was Globen or nothing for 'The Girl'- So that's just what happened - more schlager in-justice as
Charlotte Perrelli came in 5th place- and without 'second chance' is out of Melodifestivalen 2012.

Check out a schlager performance with a price-tag too high for Globen! -'The girl'

The two tunes going to the second chance are Dynasty rock- number 'Land of broken dreams' and at long last
some true schlager magic from Lasse Holm with 'Don't let me down' sung by Lotta Engberg & Christer Sjogren. This number we hope will make Globen next weekend- there will be a running order for Second chance to be annouched
mid next week- fingers crossed this will mean no more duals in the second chance round- here are the contenders
with the last chance to go direct-to-globen--
