People, take a bow, show me that you love me

Listen to one minute of each of this week's Melodifestival songs here.

I'm left feeling a little underwhelmed by most of the songs I was hoping to love and slightly positively surprised by a few I had lower hopes for--but not enough to change my feeling that the third semifinal, which has in past years given us some true classics and great fun pop songs, isn't that strong this year.

Hopefully, though, hearing the songs in full will increase my appreciation of them.

If not, apparently we're going to be spoiled for fantastic songs next week.
