Vdeo snippets from rehearsals of the second semifinal are out and here's what we get.
Ulrik Munther has presented new radio-hit sounding in my ears like JoJo going pop-rock. I don't think it's going to get MF-winner buzz but it's very well done and should be adored by fans on summer pop-fests.
Top Cats are Playtones without Kempe (read as without extra-something), rockabilly-stuff, not "The King" level in my ears.
Sonja Aldén comes back with a new Bobby Ljunggren schlager-ballad and Bassflow production, it's nice and should sound touching with its lyrics about passed away close person but after all flops of schlager-ballads can it have really huge success on MF?
I didn't imagine Andreas Lundstedt can surprise me singing dance-music I never heard from him but he has managed, it's a sweet melodic electro-dance pop with schlager-touch, probably what Shirley should sing in 2012 but it's lacking Shirley's drive unfortunately.
Timoteij have beautifully developed tune with energetic folk-schlager sound, I wish loads of luck to girls but I've got a feeling it won't be as big fans favorite as "Kom" was.
Nice to see Tony Nilsson persenting something fresh for David Lindgren, modern dance-song that would be a good album track for Darin or Ola but is it going to work on MF?
Mimi Oh has presented very nice electropop mix of what Linda Sundblad and Le Kid were about last year, you will hardly find from her 80s-vibes here but it's catchy, stylish and I really like production, her best single so far.
I was initially sceptic to Di Leva, I rarely put his stuff in my player but I think his arena-oriented positive pop will work good on MF. And here I've changed my mind right like I did when I've heard Thorsten Flick.

Världens barn is annual SVT event that raises attention to problems of kids all over the world and lets people send their donations during shows broadcasted on TV.
You should remember Molly Sanden premiering her new single on the first show's concert, later SVT has broadcasted big gala with loads of popular artists.
Ulrik Munther was singing two songs from his debut album, our sweetheart Linnea Henriksson performed new single "Väldigt kär/Obegripligt ensam", Danny was singing "Cassandra" (track he composed with E.M.D. colleague Mattias Andréasson), Sarah Dawn Finer who's back on Christmas tour this year was singing "I'll Be Your Wish Tonight" from her latest album, Elisa's performed new single "Jag säger som det är" (from Thomas G:Son and Henrik Sethson - team behind "Something In Your Eyes" and "In A Moment Like This"), rocabilly Top Cats delivered their schlager-reject "Heartache", opera diva Elin Rombo sang classic "O Mio Babbino Caro", you can also catch Marie Serneholt and Rennie Miro below.
