The Swedish Semi-Finals were hosted by Sarah Dawn Finer, Helena Bergström & Gina Dirawi. Before the semi-finals there was a 'Web Joker' contest - click here for details: SWEDISH QUARTER-FINAL 2012 In the first 4 semi-finals there were two rounds of televoting - the first to select the top 5 and the second to select the top 2 songs that qualified directly for the final and the 3rd & 4th placed songs that went forward to the 5th semi-final where they had a second chance to qualify for the final. In the 5th semi-final the songs competed in groups of pairs. The most popular song from each pairing was chosen by televoting, then the winners of pairs 1 & 2 competed against each other to qualify for the final as did the winners of pairs 3 & 4.
