Our readers like to argue, they won’t be arguing with the latest Melodifestivalen odds. That’s because both the odds and the results of our fan poll suggest that Helena Paparizou and J.E.M. will qualify during tonight’s Andra Chansen round at Melodifestivalen.

I want Helena to represent Sweden,her song is extremely awesome! <3
@Jordan
Helena is not only supported by Greeks, but also by the majority of eurofans. Either she qualifies or not, she’s the number one.
In my opinion, Outtrigger has the best song. It’s powerful, energetic, melodic… Just complete. And guy sings it very well. Helena Paparizou is my second choice. Her song is great, but i miss something, I don’t know what. Linus and Martin are on my 3rd and 4th place. Furthermore, for Eurovision I think the best choice is Helena. Anton is great (last year he was my favourite), but he needs more energetic refrein – this one doesn’t fit. Oscar is funny and likeable but no. Ace could do well on Eurovision so I’d be happy to see her as the… Read more »
Helena deserved to go straight to the final from the start, so I sure hope she wins one of the 2 places tonight.
I know Outtrigger probably won’t pass, but they’re my other favourites, at least I hope they’ll make it to the final rounds!
Helena just turned 32???? She looked 40+
Helena to win melfest 2014!!!
For me Martin and Helena to final
Martin vs State of Drama in final Martin
Helena vs Linus in final Helena
But i think in final JEM and Outtrigger
JEM vs Helena in final JEM
Outtrigger vs Linus in final Outtrigger
Helena will win if she makes the final. The international jury has taste unlike Swedes with their YOHIO love
JEM JEM JEM!!!!!!! 🙂 🙂 I would be elated if they went through!!!
Strongly dislike both of these ones. JEM had shaky vocals and Helena an average song. Maybe if JEM and Helena, along with their songs, combined into one it’d be good. A nice song with good vocals, but we all know that can’t happen. Anyways, I’ll be voting for Linus tonight since he’s the only one I really like and has a heart wrenching song.
These 2 are my favorites tonight !
If this actually turns out THE top 2 tonight, then I’ll be happy.
Of course Helena won 52% of the votes! Every Greek is voting for her…
