Pretty much the best six weeks of music in Europe got started last night in Sweden with Melodifestivalen 2010 having the first semi-final take place in Örnsköldsvik. Overall, this is one of the least hyped up semis and in the end Ola and Salem were the first two to progress directly to the finals. Eric Saade competes next week and Elin Lanto, Alcazar AND Darin compete in semifinal three in two weeks. More good things to come.
The only real song worthy of note came from Linda Pritchard, a former Swedish Idol participant from 2008, who competed with You're Making Me Hot Hot Hot and ended up 5th - just out of a spot in the Second Chance finals with a final shot at competing in the finals in Stockholm.
Her vocals were pretty spot-on for the night and the whole performance went quite well but it appeared there were some bigger names and bigger songs. Something tells me this one will still manage to make its way to the Swedish airwaves in high rotation much like most of the rest of the songs from this week and to come.
