Europe’s top betting agencies believe that Yohio or Ralf Gyllenhammer will win tonight’s Melodifestivalen final in Stockholm. YOHIO currently has odds as low as 8/13. That makes him the heavy favourite over Ralf, who follows with odds as low as 7/4.
Ulrik Munther—the guy with the LED screen— is down third with the bookies, while second-chance qualifiers Robin Stjernberg and Anton Ewald round out the top five.
These predictions align closely with the results of our voter’s poll which put YOHIO, who looks like several blonde female celebrities, on top by a mile. Ralf came second in our poll, followed by Robin and Ulrik. The Wiwi Jury, our in-house panel of music unprofessionals, ranked Ralf first, Ulrik second, and Yohio third.
These odds below come from bet365, Ladbrokes, William Hill, bwin.com and betfair, and are listed in that order.

Yohio is like a bad copy of all jrock-pop artists, even German Cinema Bizarre.
LOL, trust me
I think Sweden will have best chances in winning if it sends Robin on ESC.
David all the way, really! He just has the best song, and an amazing performance. David to Malmö!
Bed on Fire is obviously the best and I really don’t get why people like Heartbreak Hotel so much…it reminds me of Norway 2005!
yayyy what a good news… the bed of fire guy should literally go to sleep on his bed of fire…
come on YOHIO. The last time Sweden hosted they were surrounded in flames….it’s been done…time to move on. Bring on the Anime and Glam!
