Qualification Round for the Qualification Round

Today was the first night of the four "semi finals" of the Swedish Song Contest. This is actually the first out of four qualification rounds for the Swedish qualification round to the Eurovision Song Contest. It is, thus, a qualification round for the qualification round. As such, it is never surprising that some of the songs are bad. This night, none of the songs were great, though some were good. It remains to be seen which song will be my favourite in the Swedish qualification round.
