Inge av dessa fyra vinner på lördag.
Nä, semifinalister vinner aldrig
Not true. Robin Stjernberg with You won Melodifestivalen in 2013.
6 weeks of Melodifestivalen is too much. They need to cut that to three weeks tops. And it’s boring.
So dont watch then – who cares?
I mean, it’s a battle for second place in the grand final really, isn’t it?
Dotter 2020 and Saade 2021 says HI
How did Melanie Wehbe come 2nd last?
Her song was a boring knock off of Denmark 2022 The Show

2. Rhythm Of My Show – Tone Sekelius
3. One Day – Mariette

The running order for the final
These acts all deserved to be in the final. I hope “Air” wins. Good luck Sweden! Greetings from Serbia
So all top 4 acts from heat 4 are in final?
That is impressive. A really strong heat indeed!
And Loreen won this storng heat landslide.
So Heat 4 was the strongest and Heat 1 the weakest.
Maybe they should have randomly picked all artists for Heats 😉
I don’t really like any of them 🙁 Sorry
The supporting acts for Loreen’s concert next Saturday.
Thallo, you have won the comments section for this week.
I’ll miss Melanie in the final. She was the biggest surprise of this melfest for me and I hope this song will promote her career and also to see her back next year. Good luck to all finalists for next week!
I’m sad for Melanie. She should have made it over Mariette but I’m very happy for Theoz, Nordman, and Kiana. They deserved qualification!
Mariette, to the final again, she never misses. Hall of fame, next.
Just like Sanna Nielsen
Aw Theoz and Kiana are adorable! They should consider doing a song together! If Loreen wasn’t in the selection, they’d have a shot!
Good idea!
Theoz and Kiana should be doing Junior Eurovision
Junior is only until you’re 15 years old and they are older!!!
I still think there’s room for making the voting more annoying and predictable.
That was a nice tribute to Christer.
Fouad is the John King of SVT on election nights.
He’s only done one election night on SVT?
A very iconic one
I know that hearts are not as good of a sign as some years ago, but if we can judge from that then top 3 are: Theoz, Nordman and Kiana, followed by Marriette. Others needed more time to “electrify” the heart as for Elov and Beny it didn’t “electrify” at all.
Pernilla was in an Ingmar Bergman film once, fact fans.
1 Mariette
2 Theoz
=3 Everybody else
I climbed up a tree to get away from. That’s where I went, Kiana.
To get away from you.
Seriously, how many times does she need to ask? Just leave me alone, please.
Why do you want to get away from her in the first place? That’s YOUR problem!
“Where did you go, where did you go, where did you go, where did you go?” she asks over and over again. To get away from your grilling, Kiana.
I’d take any of these first six except maybe Elov and Beny, but Sweden has a strong show.
Melanie is the greatest. Let her advance, Sweden!
She is very likeable, but the song… no.
I like Melanie and Kiana. Couldn’t care less for all the other.
The first song I actually like at this semifinal
Love country… She’s got an amazing voice.
I just hope for Mariette to go through, the rest of them I can take or leave
I feel like 3 of the spots are predictable (THEOZ, Kiana, Nordman), but it’s just a matter of who’s rounding it out.
I’ll prob just tune in 20.45 (i almost said it in my time zone) to see the results because I don’t need to see the performances again lol
MARIETTE ? Hello people this is not even bad ! Deserves more attention than Kiana or anyone
Song 2… I like it… Very Disney/Soundtrack’y
My choice is THEOZ, Kiana, Mariette, and Tennessee Tears.
All from heat 2 and 4 coincidently, (– or not, since heat 2 and 4 are the best.)
99% sure about THEOZ, Kiana and Nordman qualifying
I really want Tennessee Tears to take the 4th spot, I love that song so much, I NEED it in the final
