She's my Marilyn Monroe...

I'm still as much in love with Never Alone's "Marilyn Monroe" as I was listening to them for the first time and I'm still sure they're not just the best in the the bunch of finalists, they're the only who can become real sensation of MF-2012 and first webjokers in the final of MF so I can't stay away and gonna spend my weekly nerves limit today and you should check them once again, Sweden, and give them a chance, they'll really need your support!!!
Guys have come up with some creative videos and you can check them below.
Seems like SVT has rejected the idea of live final planned from the beginning, songs of the finalists will be played by Lotta Bromé on P4 Extra 13.00-14.00 of local time, public will be able to vote during this time and the winner will be announced at 14.33.

Never Alone in the final of Webjoker!

Best news of the day for us! Our favorite entry of this year's webjoker "Marilyn Monroe" from Never Alone has got to the final of contest where they'll be fighting with seven rivals for a ticket to Melodifestivalen live and we'll be madly supporting this song!
Another entry that has qualified to the final is Caroline Coquard's "Ingenting, ingen". You can check full order of song's placing in semifinal here.
Fourth semifinal has turned pretty strong. We've got a really nice rock-entry from 12-year-old Felicia Vårnäs "Not Over You" - female junior version of Daughtry-rock you can easily buy us with (wondering if Felicia will be allowed to sing in the final if she will qualify?), great tune and expression. If Marie Lindberg would serve as an example of how artist from ordinary folk should successfully win meloaudience - Vilda should get a pretty high mark in following it with her country-song "Box of Love". Vocally it sounds very professional and charming. I should also mention two dance-tracks - Carolina Jakobsson's "Believe" and Patrick Egemo's "Higher" with a proper festive atmosphere which could sound good in terms of production upgrade and singer-songwriter entry "Need To Know" from Bowties.
Bowties - Need To Know
Carolina Jakobsson - Believe
Felicia Vårnäs - Not Over You
Jennifer - Letting Go
Patrick Egemo - Higher
Ricky och Ronny - Kärleken ler
Trison - Forever By Your Side
Vilda - Box of Love

Third semifinal of Webjoker-2012

We've got two more finalists of Webjoker-2012 - "A Heartbeat Away" and "Beautiful Love" - we really like both of them but feel sorry about "What If" not qualifying, we've finally fallen for it the most but there are just two spots and we're looking for our new faves of the contest.
New semifinalists are already published (Chris Mhina with "No Games" was replaced by "Jag kommer ut" because author had some tracks commercially released before) and our biggest fail was to listen Never Alone's "Marilyn Monroe" the first - what a song!!! What a hit! It's just head and shoulders above everything else in this contest, modern electropop-song melodically in a vein of "Like Suicide" that could easily be on a new album of Salem al Fakir or Christian Walz and to top Swedish chart, good vocals, cool production, catchy text, amazing tune and even key-change, full pack that is ready for the final of Melodifestivalen, wow-wow-WOW!!! That was really hard to judge all the rest after but I should also mention light "Fångad Av en Stormvind" meets "E de fel på mig" schlager "Jag kommer ut" that I'd be interested to see performed in the final of webjoker but it's all about "Marilyn Monroe" for me and I'll be incredibly surprised if it won't be as well for Swedish televoters.
Never Alone - Marilyn Monroe
Madeleine Ericson - On the Top of the Mountain
Fredrik Sjöstedt - She Is Love
Elin Jakobsson - I Didn't Wanna Say Goodbye
Vilda - Songbird
San Francisco - Jag kommer ut
Olle Andersson - Dance It All Away
Caroline Coquard - Ingenting, ingen
Update: look what an amazing cover of "Save The World" by Never Alone I've found on their Facebook page. Isn't it just fantastic?!!
