I'll try to do this every week, but I don't know if I'll remember.
I'll give some comments as well, because I HAVE AN OPINION. Freedom of speech, bitch! Get used to it.

1. Sigrid Bernson - Patrick Swayze // Heartvotes: 5/5
I'll start off with saying that the lyrics are tragic, but the song is SO GOOD. Yes, she's trying to be the next Ace Wilder (and she's failing) - but I love Ace Wilder so it's not too weird that I love this song. Right as I came home, I listened to this song 10 times in a row. It's so fucking good, and it's definitely gonna be in my top 5 after all 28 songs have been revealed.
The only thing that could make the performance better is if she improves her singing during the verses, but she has 4 weeks until Andra Chansen so she should be able to change some things around.
2. Benjamin Ingrosso - Dance You Off // Heartvotes: 4/5
I don't like Benjamin Ingrosso. His voice is so nasal and people keep claiming that he's a good dancer, but he has yet to prove that, according to me. I think this song is better than Good Lovin', because his voice was much more noticable in Good Lovin' than Dance You Off.
The main thing I like about this song is the instrumental, just as I did with Good Lovin'. The music is really catchy, and the staging is pretty cool. I look forward to seeing this performance live in Friends Arena on the 10th of March.
3. Renaida - All The Feels // Heartvotes: 3/5
MAJOR LAZER WHO? LEAN ON IS SHAKING! (am I the only one who thinks this song kindof resembles lean on?)
I like Renaida, she seems like someone who would be very fun to hang out with. This song is very modern, and I can definitely see this being played on the radio during the summer (or even tomorrow!). However, she has to improve her singing during the verses, just like Sigrid. She doesn't sound very good, but hey, she also has a few weeks to prepare for her next performance.
I expected her to come 5th, so I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that she managed to snatch an Andra Chansen spot.
4. John Lundvik - My Turn // Heartvotes: 1/5
When I first heard this, I just thought "wow this is boring". I kept seeing that he got a bunch of praise and I did not understand why - but I finally started to understand why when I heard the song for a second time. The song is growing on me, and he is an AMAZING singer. The live performance was nearly flawless - the reason why it's not 100% flawless is because he just seemed a bit nervous at the start.
I'm sure that I'm gonna like this song more after I listen to it a few more times, and I'm excited to see him in Friends Arena.
5. Edward Blom - Livet på en pinne // Heartvotes: 0/5
This guy is a walking meme, just getting that out there.
He said it himself and I'll say it for him - he can't sing. Period. No question about it. He just seemed SO out of place on the stage, almost like he didn't belong there (which, lets be real, he didn't).
I watched the show with my big sister and my mother, and no one laughed when this came on. We all just looked at eachother with disapproving looks, HOWEVER...
I do have to admit that I find it a little bit funny, now when I rewatch it, and while I did rank this on 5th, I still think it's too high.
6. Kamferdrops - Solen lever kvar hos dig // Heartvotes: 1/5
She didn't get disqualified after all!... but atleast she'd be remembered AFTER the contest if she got disqualified. This was just a bland song, with no redeeming qualities. The only good thing about the performance was the amount of mindfuck that she managed to pull off. The sudden switching of dancers? A magic trick? 5 CLONES OF HER APPEARING? I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THAT.
I actually expected this to come last after watching the performance, because the song was so boring and underwhelming.
7. Kikki Danielsson - Osby Tennessee // Heartvotes: 1/5
It was so obvious that Kikki was coming last. We all knew it even when we found out about the running order.
I gave Kikki 1 vote just because it was Kikki, and I love her. However, this song is boring - just like Charlotte Perrelli's song last year. She's singing about her life - just like Charlotte Perrelli did last year. She came last - just like Charlotte Perrelli did last year. You see where I'm going with this? Because I don't.
I'm pretty sure she's going to be last overall in this year of Melodifestivalen.
----------
And that's my top 7 for the first semi-final of #Melodifestivalen 2018! Let me know what you thought of the line-up and I'll (hopefully) see you next week! #Eurovision

Jag hatade alla den enda som var bra var Benjamin och han va okej :/
Alla var tråkiga
YES A FELLOW PATRICK SWAYZE LOVER!! I was nervous for Sigrid for a little bit since her heart wasn't beating super hard for too long, but I'm happy she managed an Andra Chansen spot :) Also I don't see that much of a resemblance between her and Ace, but I also idolize Ace (her robbery in 2014 is my least favorite moment of any national selection ever), so I really can't compare anyone to her
Also exact same opinion on Benjamin. I like him as a person, but don't like his music or his voice. He was high in my rankings just because everyone else was so weak, but I still don't like him
I'll try to do this every week, but I don't know if I'll remember.
