It has to be either Anna or Dotter for Sweden this year. It really is time for Sweden to be represented by a woman again and Anna definitely deserves to show Sweden and Europe that she's capable of getting a great result at Eurovision, and that her NQ in 2010 was totally undeserved!

Bulletproof is just a generic example of Swedish songwriting, with a "Dance You Off" epic kind of staging. But the song itself isn't better than "Don't Break Me" by Montaigne and is not unique or in any way shape or form risky at all.

I really want her to go to Rotterdam, and represent us. Once decade has passed since that awful year when we didn´t qualify, it´s time to bury that now, and have Anna do this epic comeback. I want her to win, but I wouldn´t be mad if Dotter or The Mamas would win either, will be voting for all three. I love The Mamas, but what I feel is that a lot of people will go "Again..?". And Bulletproof is amazing aswell.

Right now she is my favorite to represent Sweden in ESC, but I am a little worried because of the jury and the 2 youngest voting groups in the new voting system (that's what ruined it for her last year) btw for me it was the opposite, Ashes to Ashes felt more like a grower imo, here I felt that immediately when the song kicked off I was going to love this

John lundvik won with a massive televoting and still did not get even 8 points from those groups you are mentioning so... Anna though got 10 points from 2 of the elder groups with Ashes to Ashes, I think this could actually win at least 3, or maybe 4 of the groups.

I feel like The Mamas have as strong of a chorus but stronger verses. I don't remember Anna's verses. I remember the chorus very well. But I remember every part of "Move". Her stage show might make people listen to it twice or 3 times, though. So she has got something going for her. I don't know. She might still beat The Mamas. I hope not, cause I love them more. But she's solid. And her story checks out too. =)

Me too! I will be voting for both. I´m rooting a little bit more for Kingdom Come, I find it to be so epic, but Bulletproof is a bit of a earworm, in a good way, and the staging is unforgetable. What worries me a bit about Bulletproof is the lyrics like "Oh, you lift me up a thousand times, But when you hit, it hurts like guns" which might make people feel a bit uncomfortable hearing about a woman singing about domestic abuse. I don´t know, it´s an important subject though, but perhaps a bit to heavy for Eurovision?

@@Asa...S I really like Bulletproof and I think it will do well in the Final, but I don't see it winning the whole thing. First she has strong competitors (Anna firstly, the mamas and the ultra hyped Hanna Ferm). Second she could even win the jury in the Final, but I doubt the public will do the same, she can do great with the young groups but I think they'll be more for Mohombi, while the older ones will go for Anna. Lastly she did not come as a winner, she definitely surprised everybody, but to win? I don't know.

I've never been a fan of Anna, neither have any of the three friends that I watched that semi with. And this song definitely didn't do anything to change that fact. I think all four of us thought and hoped that Paul Rey would take her DTF spot. I can't really see anyone but Dotter winning Mello at this point tbh. The only other entry that I feel would be worthy so far is The Mamas, but they don't seem to have gotten nearly the same kind of hype as Dotter. And I doubt anyone will come along this coming week and outdo Dotter, like sure, Hanna will probably do great, but just like last time her entry will most likely be perfectly solid but not really winner material. So I really do hope we send Dotter, and that ESC will eventually come down to either her or Montaigne winning, and I will be equally happy with either of them winning, because both Bulletproof and Don't Break Me are such great songs, both with amazing staging.

Dotter however, is the winner - look at the odds, she´s on #1. She got it all, the discoball west, great performance and a very catchy song. It´s ESC material, 100%.
