Here are my thoughts on this SF (which is the strongest of Melfest so far - I seriously liked 5 of the 6 songs):
6. En sang om sommaren - Same last place, obviously. I thought this would be a very distant last place finisher since I couldn't see anyone voting for it outside of the oldest groups, so imagine my surprise when it got a 12 from the televote, which I imagine does skew older but still, a 12?? Was definitely not a fan of this one at all. It's not my least fave of Melfest, though.
5. Done Getting Over You - It's generic and I wasn't a huge fan of the snippet but I quite liked the performance and my opinion of it changed quite a bit thanks to it.
4. Circus X - Cool staging and I loved the drop. Them finishing 4th wasn't a surprise though, because this is quite different from what we normally see at Melfest.
3. 30 KM/H - I really really liked this so imagine my surprise when it finished 5th (and barely, at that). WTF did Sweden not like about it? It's a total banger and the staging was so fun and colorful.
2. Happy That You Found Me - Such a bop! Really liked the snippet and as I mentioned, the performance was very good (outside of the outfit and that he needs some dancers). The song is not ground-breaking, though, so while it's probably my fave of Melfest so far, I'm not sure that I won't change my mind once I get to listen to all of the finalists' songs again several more times. Plus, you never know what M&M's song will be like.
1. It's Not Easy to Write a Love Song - I quite liked the snippet but I was not the biggest fan of the performance. It reminds me too much of Loreen's performance (lighting isn't that dissimilar, she's got on a grey outfit while Loreen had a tan one, she's dancing artistically on/around something [a piano instead of an LED platform]) and even the song reminds me of Loreen's. So, please please please don't hate me but I don't love this. I still like it. I will listen to it and save it in my playlist, but it's just not going to probably be that high in my top 12 finalists video. It could grow on me though. Also, why the use of the piano at all? No one played it, after all. I really wanted to see her play it, tbh.
Here's how I ranked the songs after the show with where I had them before the show in parentheses:
6. En sang on sommaren (6th)
5. Circus X (4th) - Would've been 3rd last week.
4. It's Not Easy to Write a Love Song (2nd)
3. Done Getting Over You (5th)
2. 30 KM/H (2nd)
1. Happy That You Found Me (1st)

Yeah, I think in the televote category mostly these are elderly people, who perhaps are not that good with technologies, and that’s why En sang on sommaren got 12 points there, although it got only 8 points from the 75+ and 60-74 age groups, which is a little bit weird.
I agree that 30 KM/H was robbed. She definitely deserved to qualify for the second chance round.
So, about Dotter, I think we've discussed enough already, haha. But speaking of piano, well, I think it’s not nonsensical that she didn’t play it because the title of the song says that it’s not easy to write a love song, so if looking from that perspective, it kind of makes sense. Idk, I really liked the idea of using the piano as the main element of the staging, but I can also see why you found it weird that it wasn't used for playing.
