So, let s talk about songs who were in first semifinal. Here we go.
1)Nano-Chasing Rivers.
Not bad start. Nano also was in "Melodifestivalen-2017", where he ended in second place. The song is very good, very impressive. Maybe on this time he will a winner? I give 5 points from 5.

5)Arja Saijonmaa-Mina Fyra Årstider.
Arja was very succesful in Melodifestivalen with the song "Högt Över Havet" in 1987. And now she backed with the song "Mina Fyra Årstider"(My four seasons of year) Arja said that shee wrote this song when she was impressed by the news of forest fire, which were in summer last year. But sorry, this song didn t impressed me. No, not for me. I give 3 points from 5.

I like that, very catching chorus and very super song. Although the perfomance reminded me the perfomance of Måns Zelmerlöw, who won Eurovision 2015. Any case the perfomance of Mohombi and his song is very amazing. I give 5 points from 5.
Sorry i didn t find normal video of this perfomance.
7)Anna Bergendahl-Ashes To Ashes.
Well, not for me, it didn t impress me at all, i don t know why. Anna also presented Sweden in Eurovision-2010, and she didn t catch at the final, that was the first time when Sweden didn t catch at the semifinal. And now nine years later Anna backed on the Melodifestivalen. I give 3 points from 5.
