And now Lance is moving onto a new chapter of his life. The young singer has already released dance music as part of the duo Lance & Linton, but with Melodifestivalen he will be making his solo debut.
Aftonbladet‘s source, who has heard the demo of Lance’s Mello entry, says, “This sounds completely different than what he has done before, and it’s a really good song. He will surprise TV viewers.”

I thought this was a picture of Leonardo DiCaprio when he was young.
Not really on the subject, but Ace Wilder’s Wild Child is featured in the trailer for Netflix’s new animation Back to the Outback. So nice hearing it after like four years!
This is so funny for no reason
So?
Seriously, I don’t know how this suddenly became just another excuse to hate gay men. Sad.
The comment I was replying to has been deleted, downvoters.
Hey, is someone interested to join me to this years Mello? 🙂 I am 22 from Germany, Berlin, and want to travel to Sweden next year to visit Melfest but none of my friends is as „Eurovision crazy“ as me, and I don’t want to travel alone 🙂
Traveling by plane? Bus? Train? There is a new night train from Berlin to Stockholm and vice versa:)
the original plan is to go by plane 🙂 The BER is right around the corner
Herzlich willkommen. Willst du nach Stockholm fahren denn?
Nach Stockholm fliegen, dort übernachten und zum Mello 🙂
Does that stand for direct to final?
LOL sure they do:)
Dont mistake your opinions for the opinions of an entire country
mediocrityfestivalen now accepting random influencers who can’t even sing ? a new low for them !
Have you even listened to his songs?
Have you even listened to his songs???
Some of the people on this websites obsession with making excuses to hate anything Swedish never ceases to amaze
Sanremo had Elettra Lamborghini.
The countless Melfest stars who went through reality shows like Loreen and Måns say hello.
And greetings from Måneskin, who are also reality show alumni.
Wait until his song is released so you can make your judgements then.
Why are you even on here? How about we all criticise your precious San Remo festival before we know anything about it? No wonder Swedes leave this once great site when miserable bitter people like yourself spread their toxicity everywhere. We dont need more hags on here, leave
precious? To make your point you shouldn’t attack Sanremo Festival. Melodifestivalen had great artists over the years, but at some point they started to select the entries with the same standard choice. Also if many people are bitter towards Sweden at Eurovision there are many reasons behind it. Over the years, many songs for different countries have been written and produced by Swedish producers, creating a sort of unbalance. Did you notice that the track list of the Eurovision film The story of fire saga is filled with music by Swedish musicians and Four out of 13 special appearances of… Read more »
Oh, anything can be attacked, even San Remo. It is not sacred.
She also should learn to listen to songs first and then judge, it might be good song. Otherwise she should learn to not say anything at all really. How do you think we feel every time she opens her mouth to spew crap over everything Swedish on here? But then again she is a miserable bitter hag with no valid opinions about anything so why give her space?
What makes you think Polegend is a woman? Also, please only take this as constructive criticism, but “hag” is a very sexist word and it’s probably better for your cause if you don’t use it.
attack sanremo all you want, this hag right here won’t be bothered as you are when melfest’s flaws are pointed out lmao
Yes, his name is Lancelot. Poor guy. But the show about addiction is really sincere. They become really vulnerable and talk about very personal stuff while being isolated on an island as part of a treatment. Cannot be compared to other tv-shows. I have not much to say about his music. But I really recommend this show as something honest and sincere on tv.
I mean he had a tough life so far for sure (besides being kind of famous and rich already)…his dad had an addiction as well, his brother died falling from a balcony, Lancelot himself had an addiction problems, so people should not compare him to Benjamin Ingrosso. I would say he has more in common with Clara klingenström than Ingrosso to be honest…
Clara Klingenström deserved to be the Eurovision entry.
serving spoilt whiny rich kid, are we supposed to feel sorry for that or
Why are you even here???
Had bitter lemons for breakfast again?
He’s had a rough life but keep writing bs
White bitter feminist hag, are we supposed to feel anything for you?
Feminist is a good thing, Denis.
it depends tbh
ew erasmus
disgusting opinion.
Not if they are hags like this Karen above. I have enough of them in the retirement home I sometimes work at. Dont really need more of them..
Theres something deeply wrong with you and I feel sorry for the elderly ladies you work with. Get a new profession.
And white is bad…?
Maybe read my comment once more. I deliberately did not mention what I think about him, because I just want to recommend watching that show. That’s is. Have nothing to say about his music. Just recommend watching that show. If you prefer not watching it, be my guest and move on with your evening. Cheers!
