Poll results: Dotter is the Melodifestivalen 2021 act you’re most excited for before the live shows

It’s showtime… almost! There are just five more sleeps until the Melodifestivalen circus rolls around for another year. And while COVID-19 precautions have put paid to the annual tour, we’re still expecting lots of sparkle, fireworks and, of course, some great music.

And while we wait for the first batch of entries to drop later in the week, we can reveal the one act which has left our readers giddy with anticipation — Dotter!

Dotter is the Melodifestivalen 2019 act you’re most excited for

Shortly after the line-up for Sweden’s Eurovision 2021 selection was revealed, we asked a very important question — Which Melodifestivalen 2021 act are you the most excited for?

Hundreds of you let your voices by heard by voting in our poll. And after counting 4,673 votes, we can confirm that Dotter is the act that’s left y’all gagging. The star hoovered up support, capturing 915 votes — that’s 19.58% of all votes cast. “Little Tot” has been described as a “modern lullaby”. Dotter says the song is about “our kids or future children, that they don’t wanna be like us when they grow up. It’s about be aware of our ego.”

Almost 300 votes behind is Eric Saade. The  “Every Minute” singer picked up 621 votes or 13.29% of all votes cast. This will be his fourth time competing at Melfest. He debuted with “Manboy” in 2010, won with “Popular” in 2011 and returned with “Sting” in 2015. He was also a co-host of the contest in 2019.

The top three is completed by The Mamas. The reigning champions attracted 573 votes or 12.26% of all votes cast. This will be their third appearance at Mello in as many years, having provided backing for John Lundvik in 2019 and competing in their own right with “Move” last year. “In The Middle” has been teased as a “heartwarming love song” which the trio have dedicated to their fans.
