this duo has met in the past – both competed in 2010, when Anna Bergendahl won with ”This is my life”, while Andreas Johnson came in sixth with ”We can work it out”. In general there is not much that unites these two contributions. While Johnson is doing his best to emulate the feeling of ”get the feeling” during a live performance (something that rarely makes itself so well on a Melodifestivalscen where the band members must play the air guitar), Bergendahl number a meticulously planned three-minute plunge right into a toxic and skogsbrandsdrabbad display. Bergendahl should take home this duel – if not for the suggestive scenshowen, so thanks to countryrökaren to let.

Not it is fair, not. But Vlad Reiser is like the cute guy in the ninth grade with cash score and some difficulty concentrating that despite the fact that he really is destroying all other magic is loved by all, including the harsh tyskläraren. And if the guy sets it up in the reality talent show, so it is clear that he, with his spattigt charming falsksång, wins over the talented but more low-key vocalist, as practiced throughout the spring semester in the music room. It is not possible to explain, more than that, it works life and the world and the talent shows, and worked at least the Eurovision song contest until this year. Perhaps the new voting system to give the Nano a chance?

It is perhaps the most mismatched of duels – Martin Stenmarcks hockeykör-mindfulnessanthem with extrovert stage show, against Lisa Ajax introverted hjärtesorgsballad. Both are while alone on the stage, but while the States are running hard with their P4-optimized midtemposchlagerrock in the middle of an arena full of brilliant mobile phones, Ajax has tried to create a secluded atmosphere in the middle of the scene, just surrounded by spotlights, as if the audience barely existed. Ajax has the stronger song, but it requires indeed its tordönsstämma, and can fall pretty flat if the voice wavers. Stenmarck is safer, but also more boring.

There is something liberating o-cool with both kombattanterna in this duel. Heirs is the much – scenrävar, incredibly talented, their harmonies are untouchable silky – but just cool, they have never been. And Rebecka Karlsson also has a granntjejsvänlig aura, inviting and cool, rather than chilly modern. Their respective shows are more festive than beautiful: the Heirs leans in synchronization in formation; Rebecka Karlsson sounds surround themselves with serietidningskarikatyrer of ”strong women”. In the end, it is probably the tens of thousands of turnémil the Heirs put behind them as victories. One should never underestimate a faithful dansbandspublik.
