The Olympics of Song – or rather the trial by schlager that is Melodifestivalen – returns to one of its spiritual homes for this heat, Gothenburg.
If memory serves me correctly, Gothenburg has hosted every a semi final in every year since the Swedish song juggernaut  started … which is amazing – or not – your call!
As with last week, and with every week, seven songs competed (with the addition of last-minute substitute Jan Johanssen). Two were knocked out in the first round, with the top two going to the final and the next two runners up going to Andra Chansen.
| Performer (s) | Song | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Heleza | 6 | |
| Alabama watchdog | Alabama watchdog | |
| Tanja | Best night ever | |
| Kadri Voorand | Energy | |
| Kristin Kalnapenk | Find a way | |
| Egert Milder | Free again | |
| Suured tüdrukud | Heaven's not that far tonight | |
| Uku Haasma | Kaos | |
| Karl Killing | Kiss me | |
| Ivo Linna, Robert Linna, Supernova | Ma olen siin | |
| Rahel | Sunday night | |
| Sissi | Time |
Voters rejected the two songs in Swedish, again, and put through serial loser in my mind Anna Bergendahl to the final. They also put Dotter through direkt till Finalen.
