A while ago, Melodifestivalen 2022, probably your favourite national selection process of the entire list of participating countries in the Eurovision Song Contest, started off with its first semi-final show.
The show
Oscar Zia was the host of the night and as we already know, all the shows for the national selection procedure of the Swedish representative for this year’s contest in Turin will take place exclusively in Stockholm. The first semi-final took place at The Avicii Arena, one of Stockholm’s most iconic buildings which is also the largest spherical building in the world.
The first semi-final performers
Malou Prytz – “Bananas”
Theoz – “Somduvill”
Shirley Clamp – “Let There Be Angels”
Omar Rudberg – “Moving Like That”
Danne Stråhed – “Hallabaloo”
Cornelia Jakobs – “Hold Me Closer”
Robin Bengtsson – “Innocent Love”
The new voting system
There will be two voting rounds. In each round, each viewer gets to vote five times at the most (five hearts). From this year an on, after all seven performances in each semi-final, SVT will announce the artist that received the most overall votes, both through the app and by phone, irrespective of the viewer age-bands.
The remaining six contestants, move on to the second voting round. The voters can then give each of the remaining songs five hearts at the most, same way like the first voting round. At the second voting round, the votes received during the first voting round also count against the total of votes received.
The results of the second voting round are determined by the system of the eight age-bands: 3–9 years old, 10–15years old, 16–29 years old, 30–44 years old, 45–59 years old, 60–74 years old, over 75, as well as the televotes.
All in all, we will have two direct qualifiers, one determined from the first voting round and one from the second voting round and also two qualifiers for the fifth semi-final, also from the second voting round.
The results
First voting round
First voting round winner: Cornelia Jakobs with the song “Hold Me Closer“
Second voting round
Due to some technical issues, Oscar informed us that the viewers will not be able to vote from the Melodifestivalen dedicated smartphone app and the winners of both voting rounds will be determined by the televotes, solely.
The two qualifiers to the fifth semi-final are: Danne Stråhed with the song “Hallabaloo“ and THEOZ with the song “Som Du Vill“
The verdict
The two direct qualifiers are CorneliaJakobs with the song “Hold Me Closer” and Robin Bengtsson with the song “Innocent Love” and we will get to see them perform their songs live, on the 12th of March, when the finals will take place at Friends Arena. Starting from 2022, there will not be a winning performance of the two finalists anymore, as the TV time now fills up with the announcement of the results.
Those that qualified to the fifth semi-final, that replaced the second chance show in the new format of Melodifestivalen, were Danne Stråhed with the song “Hallabaloo” and THEOZ with the song “Som Du Vill“.
Sadly Malou Prytz, Omar Rudberg and Shirley Clamp didn’t manage to qualify to either the fifth semi-final or the finals of Melodifestivalen.
See you next Saturday, after the second-semi final, when you will have the chance to be informed in detail about the results, as soon as they are announced on TV!

The general rehearsal of the firstMelodifestivalen 2022semi-final has just started. We are happy to be watching it live, at the SVT online press centre and we will be covering this rehearsal, describing in detail what is happening during the show, for you to read.
This article is being updated in real-time, all you need to do is hit the refresh button on your browser and all the rest is on us! We will keep you up to date with all the latest information and images off this semi-final rehearsal, allowing you to get a glimpse of what you will get to see tomorrow February 5, at 20:00 CET, when you watch the actual semi-final show on SVT and SVT Play.
The show
Oscar Zia is the host of the night and as previously reported, all the shows for the national selection procedure of the Swedish representative for this year’s contest in Turin will take place exclusively in Stockholm and as already announced, semi-finals one to three will take place at the Avicii Arena, while semi-finals four and five as well as the grand final will be held at Friends Arena.
Oscar is at the arena and everything is ready to begin! It’s time to face the music! Opening the show, we’ve got Tusse, performing his last year’s entry “Voices“! Well, Oscar Zia joins him at the end of the song!
The performances
Malou Prytz – “Bananas”
The introduction video of Malou is on, we’ve got some shots from her rehearsals on her choreography.
Malou is first up on stage, performing her song Bananas. A funky pop song that gives slumber party vibes and she seems to be really comfortable. She’s on a green suit and she is accompanied by a drummer and five dancers. She’s got nice vocals I have to admit. Her song will either make you go “Bananas” with it, or you won’t like it at all. Nothing in the middle.
Theoz – “Som du vill”
Now there’s Theoz introduction video, before he goes on stage and performs his song. Lot’s of flashbacks on his career and Måns Zelmerlow is also mentioned. We see Theoz rehearsing his moves on the dance studio.
Now he goes on stage, on an purple outfit, sleek hair performing his uptempo and high energy song, entirely in Swedish, as youthful as Theoz is. Dour dancers in yellow outfits around him, he plays with lighting and shading panels. Jumps on the secondary stage and there’s some ledwork on the floor. His vocals are nice. Let’s see if that young and ultra popular influencing artist will make it to the finals.
Shirley Clamp – “Let There Be Angels”
The introduction video is from her dance rehearsals also showing previous participations at Mello. Linda Bengtzing also storms in the dance hall where the big Swedish artist rehearses her performance and they make fun of each other.
Her song is an emotional ballad, vocals on point. She wears a petrol suit with a cape, and gloves. The song peaks with wind blowing on her hair. She’s playing with the lights, her performance is bold, the enormous stone on her left hand ring can’t take your attention away from her vocals and her eyes, we’ve got lots of close ups emphasising on her eyes. The performance ends up with a ghosting video effect.
Omar Rudberg – “Moving Like That”
No introduction needed after his massive worldwide success with the Netflix series “Young Royals”, but we’ve got an introduction video for Omar Rudberg too. There’s also Carola in his video, some reference to her 2006 melodifestivalen performance with the Swedish version of her then entry Invincible, probably she is one of his icons in the contest.
Omar starts off backstage and enters the stage, as his song has already started. Long glances on camera, wearing a glowy outfit. The song is uptempo and uplifting, the choreography is intense and nice, it’s him and two dancers. His song gives the essential latin vibes apart from the melody by including a bridge in Spanish. He is probably one of the qualifiers tomorrow, let’s see.
Danne Stråhed – “Hallabaloo”
Here is Danne with his song Hallaballoo. This is a kind of Melodifestivalen entry that we’ve seen numerous times, however it is difficult for a song like that to stand out. He is throughout the song at the secondary stage and all the lighting is comprised of golden leds. A fun song fully in Swedish by Danne and his six-member band, but we reckon that it might hardly make it to the finals.
Cornelia Jakobs – “Hold Me Closer”
Well here’s Cornelia’s introduction video, who is at home, really at ease making coffee, describing her entry. The former Love Generation member shows the interviewer around her home, probably some home studio and the living room. Describes her song as a break up song, which is quite emotional.
Well here is Cornelia on stage, radiant, there’s a circular panel behind her. She wears a top with glowing stones. Lot’s of close ups and lightwork. The song is such an explosion of emotions, describes a breakup stage everyone has been through. Her vocals are impeccable and it is unlike what we’ve seen from her from her Love Generation entries. Are an amazing song and great vocals enough to secure her a place at the finals? Let’s see if she will be a shocking qualifier!
Robin Bengtsson – “Innocent Love”
Robin’s introduction video is from his new home at his home studio, he is describing his entry this year. Oh there’s also Victor Crone in the green room!
Here is Robin on stage. There are some technical difficulties in the beginning. His outfit is simple, minimal moves and a fun 90s vibes song. Robin is gonna have a second take, on an attempt to fix the technical issues that occurred during his performance.
This time he is competing with an easy listening pop song, which is uptempo at the same time, maybe a bit close to the songs we usually get to listen by Ed Sheeran or Coldplay! He will most probably qualify but it is unknown if we’re gonna see him in Turin this year!
As usual, we’ve got a recap of all seven contestants, showing the phone numbers that the public will get the chance to vote.
Following the recap, we get to listen to Oscar Zia performing a song mentioning previous Melodifestivalen artists in the lyrics, the instrumental is power-ballad style. Oscar storms on the second stage and goes on performing the song. Now there are four dancers waving the Swedish-speaking Finns flag (red flag, yellow cross). After the songs ends, Måns Zelmerlow appears on screen and Oscar goes nuts!
The first voting round
We remind you that all the results that will be announced in this general rehearsal are virtual, so as to emulate the whole televised show.
Now it’s the time that the winner of the first voting round will be announced! Oscar keeps us thrilled, typical voting music theme plays at the background!
The first virtual direct qualifier, determined by the first voting round is Danne Stråhed with his song “Hallabaloo”!
The rest of the six artists move on to the second voting round. Following the announcement, we’ve got a second recap of all the six remaining songs. The viewers will get five votes in total, once more in order to vote for their favourite artists. At the second voting round, the votes received during the first voting round also count against the total of votes received.
Oscar appears in the green room, showing pics of previous Melodifestivalen artists. Starts off with Måns Zelmerlow and ends with Anton Ewald.
Eric Saade on stage!
Shockingly enough, Eric Saade is on stage ready to perform “Manboy” on the piano, wearing a black suit! An amazing piano version, as a countdown for the end of the voting process. He moves on performing a slightly different version of “Popular” with lots of wind instruments. Next up is his song “Sting“! It would be a surprise if he didn’t perform his last year’s Melodifestivalen entry, “Every Minute”. He never fails to amaze us with his stage presence and his moves. Oscar interviews Eric for a while, then Eric takes place as an interviewer in the green room, interviewing the virtual direct qualifier Danne Stråhed!
The second voting round
Before the end of the second voting round and the announcement of the virtual second direct qualifier and the two qualifiers of the fifth semi-final, we’ve got a break that shows older contestants of Sweden in Eurovision, such as ABBA and also other contestants of Melodifestivalen. The two spokespersons are two, Muppet Show style cartoon figures.
Now it is the time Oscar announces the time that the revelation of the second voting results will be announced per viewer age-band. Within this voting round, SVT displays the distribution of the votes within the different viewer age-bands in real-time, which practically keeps the viewers engaged throughout the show and up until the final results are announced.
Virtual winner of the age-band 3-9 years old is: Cornelia Jakobs!
Virtual winner of the age-band 10-15 years old is: Shirley Clamp!
Virtual winner of the age-band 16-29 years old is: Shirley Clamp!
Virtual winner of the age-band 30-44 years old is: Shirley Clamp!
Virtual winner of the age-band 45-59 years old is: Shirley Clamp!
Virtual winner of the age-band 60-74 years old is: Shirley Clamp!
Virtual winner of the age-band 75+ years old is: Shirley Clamp!
Virtual winner of the televoting is: Malou Prytz!
Virtual direct qualifiers
First voting round winner (absolute votes): Danne Stråhed
Second voting round winner (age-band votes): Shirley Clamp
Virtual qualifiers at the fifth semi-final (age-band votes)
First qualifier: Cornelia Jakobs
Second qualifier: Theoz
My prediction is that we will get to see Robin Bengtsson in the finals. Second direct qualifier could be either of Malou Prytz, Omar Rudberg, or maybe Cornelia Jakobs which would be a nice surprise to see her qualify!
Let’s see what is going to happen, tomorrow 20:00 CET we will get to watch the actual semi final live, on SVT or SVT Play and of course EurovisionFun, where you will have the chance to be informed about the results, as soon as they are announced on TV!
Which two of today’s competing artists do you think will be the direct qualifiers to the finals, on the 12th of March?

(Live)
As usual, a couple of days before each Melodifestivalen semi-final, SVT publishes snippets of all seven competing songs of the semi-final. A while ago, the song snippets of the first semi-final got released.
The Swedish national selection process starts off the forthcoming Saturday, February the 5th! The first semi final of the national selection process of Sweden, will take place at The Avicii Arena in Stockholm, which is the largest hemispherical building in the world.
Malou Prytz appears first on stage, performing the up-tempo song “Bananas”! Her performance looks nothing like her older participations at the contest. The song is of high energy with lots of pop-rock elements. She looks quite comfortable on stage, but it seems like it won’t be an easy task for her to place high in the finals.
THEOZ, one of the biggest Swedish young influencers, competes at Melodifestivalen for the first time, with a Swedish pop song! His performance is great, he’s got stage presence, lots of changes in the camera shots, but the song will probably not be one of those that will stand out, this Saturday!
3. Shirley Clamp – “Let There Be Angels” LISTEN HERE
Big return for Shirley Clamp! She is on stage all alone, performing “Let there be Angels” with a minimal staging that relies on the lighting and her amazing vocals!
After his massive hit Netflix series “Young Royals”, Omar Rudberg returns for another time at Melodifestivalen with the song “Moving Like That”! A latin pop song with an intense choreography, makes it an easy job for Omar to stand out in this semi-final!
Next up on stage, Danne Stråhed, with his six-member-band performing “Hallabaloo”! A song that will certainly appeal to the older age-bands of viewers, but will most likely struggle to secure a place for the finals!
“Hold Me Closer” is performed by Cornelia Jakobs! The song starts off sounding like a ballad but gradually fills up with electronic and rock sounds and ends up epic sounding! The staging is also minimal and focuses entirely on Cornelia and we have to admit that her vocals are impeccable!
Last rehearsal for today, the one of Robin Bengtsson with “Innocent Love”! This year’s attempt reminds nothing of his previous two. This time he is competing with an easy listening pop song, which is uptempo at the same time, maybe a bit close to the songs we usually get to listen by Ed Sheeran or Coldplay! He will most probably qualify but it is unknown if we’re gonna see him in Turin this year!
The lyrics of the songs were published on Wednesday February 2nd, which you can read in more detail, in our corresponding article.
The process
Two songs will directly qualify to the grand final of Melodifestivalen 2022, which will take place on the 12th of March. The songs that will place third and fourth will have to compete again, at the fifth semi-final, held on the 5th of March. There will be four semi-finals in total.

2. Theoz – “Som du vill” (Writers: Tobias Lundgren, Axel Schylström, Tim Larsson, Elize Ryd, Jimmy “Joker” Thörnfeldt)
Jag är inte farlig
Även om det bränns
Vill du följa med mig
Du vet ju hur det känns
Får du kalla fötter
Gör det ingenting
Allting kommer vända
När du gör som du vill
Kom förbi i förbifarten
Gör nånting som gör mig vaken
Ta hissen upp till taket över stan
Om du fryser ta min jacka jag är ändå varm
Ta med den hem så jag kan följa efter den
För jag kan inte lämna dig ifred
Som du vill

Blir galen när du rör dig
Jag vill ha dig tätt intill

Om du fryser ta min jacka jag är ändå varm
Ta med den hеm så jag kan följa efter den
För jag kan intе lämna dig ifred

3. Shirley Clamp – “Let There Be Angels”(Writers: Mats Tärnfors, Pelle Nylén, Shirley Clamp, Jakob Skarin )
Here we are
In a world forever changing
Torn and scarred
We are We are
Never ever let another pessimist drag you down
Don’t you see there are miracles all around
Let there be angels
Let there be stars across the sky
Let there be angels
Never give up, never give in
Turning the pages
We got a chance to make things right
Cause all that glitters is gold
Day by day
When you think there’s only darkness
So betrayed
We are We are
Don’t tell me that our chances are next to none
I still believe the impossible can be done
Let there be angels
Let there be stars across the sky
Let there be angels
Never give up, never give in
Turning the pages
We got a chance to make things right
Cause all that glitters is gold
Try to see some good in everything
So we really can start anew
Cause I still believe the fairytales
Can all come true
Let there be angels
Let there be stars across the sky
Let there be angels
Never give up, never give in
Turning the pages
We got a chance to make things right
Cause all that glitters
All that glitters is gold
4. Omar Rudberg – “Moving Like That” (Writers: Omar Rudberg, Gustav Blomberg, Amanda Kongshaug, Kristin Marie)
Got your number ready on my phone
Counted way too many reasons not to call
But it’s late and I’ve been out for a while
I don’t wanna be alone for the night
When I saw you you were dancing on your own
Oh I know you’re really not a good idea
Oh, but I can’t
No I can’t
I can’t help myself
When you do it like that
Oh when do it like that
Can’t help myself
When you moving like that
Oh When you moving like that
Can’t help myself
When you looking like that
Making me go crazy for your love
When you moving like that
Oh when you moving like that
Yellow painted gold down on the floor
Can’t deny that you looked better than before
Oh I know you’re really not a good idea Oh But I can’t
No I can’t
I can’t help myself
When you do it like that
Oh when do it like that
Can’t help myself
When you moving like that
Oh when you moving like that
Can’t help myself
When you looking like that
Making me go crazy for your love
When you moving like that
Oh when you moving like that
Oh
Se que tu no eres una buena idea
(Oh) Yeah
I can’t help myself
When you do it like that
Oh when you do it like that
Can’t help myself
When you moving like that
Oh when you moving like that
Can’t help myself
When you looking like that
Making me go crazy for your love
When you moving like that
Oh when you moving like that
(When you move, when you move, when you move
When you move like that)
When you looking like that
Making me go crazy for your love
When you moving like that
Oh when you moving like that
5. Danne Stråhed – “Hallabaloo” (Writers: Danne Stråhed, Fredrik Andersson, Erik Stenhammar)
Ja när jag fyllde 17
Då sa bror min till mig
Följ med mig ut på villande vägarna
Följ med mig ut och visa din grej
Åh jag fick spela för syster och bror
Och jag fick sjunga mina do-di-li-do
När folk dom dansa i gyllene skor
Det är mitt liv, det är Hallabaloo
Oh oh Ha ha Hallabaloo
Oh la la la la lallaballoo
Kom o kom o sjung med mig
Ha ha Hallabaloo
Ja många vill studera
Och göra karriär
Och andra dom tränar hästar
Dom mockar skit och blir miljonär
Men jag vill spela för syster och bror
Och jag fick sjunga mina do-di-li-do
När folk dom dansa i gyllene skor
Det är mitt liv, det är Hallabaloo
Oh oh Ha ha Hallabaloo
Oh la la la la lallaballoo
Kom o kom o sjung med mig
Ha ha Hallabaloo
Allting kan du göra
Allting här i vår värld
Ja du kan till och med flyga
Prova själv om vingarna bär
Men jag vill spela för syster och bror
Och jag vill sjunga mina do-di-li-do-di-li-do
När folk dom dansar i gyllene skor
Det är mitt liv, det är Hallabaloo
Jag vill bara spela för syster och bror
Och jag fick sjunga mina do-di-li-do
När folk dom dansar i gyllene skor
Det är mitt liv, det är Hallabaloo
Det är mitt liv, det är Hallabaloo
Oh oh Ha ha Hallabaloo
Oh la la la la lallaballoo
Kom o kom o sjung med mig
Ha ha Hallabaloo
6. Cornelia Jakobs – “Hold Me Closer” (Writers: Isa Molin, David Zandén, Cornelia Jakobsdotter)
No need to apologize
Cuz there’s nothing to regret
Well this is not what I wanted
Guess all the good things come to an end
So baby bye bye
Wish you the best
But most of alI I wish that I could love you less
Well maybe you’re right
I’ll find someone else
You say it isn’t me but when did that ever help
Hold me closer
Although you’ll leave before the sunrise
Might be bleeding, but don’t you mind, I’ll be fine
Oh it kills me
I found the right one at the wrong time
But until the sunrise
Hold tight
Hold tight
Maybe it happened too fast
I guess that I understand
You say that you’ve never felt this way for anyone
And that’s why it scares you to death
So baby bye bye
Know it’s for the best
Still I can’t see how that would ease the pain in my chest
Hold me closer
Although you’ll leave before the sunrise
I’ll be bleeding but don’t you mind I’ll be fine
Oh it kills me
I found the right one at the wrong time But until the sunrise
Could you just hold me tight
I know I have to let go but just give me the night
Cuz tomorrow will hurt
Hurt really bad
Cuz I’m about to lose the best I ever had
Hold me closer
Although you’ll leave before the sunrise
I’ll be bleeding but don’t you mind I’ll be fine
Oh it kills me
I found the right one at the wrong time
But until the sunrise
Could you just hold me tight
I know I have to let go but just give me the night
Can’t you see that you found the right one at the wrong time
It was just the wrong time
Hold tight
Hold tight
