MELODIFESTIVALEN 2026 GOSSIP OCH BITCHING THREAD

[Penelope]

Cannot wait to get ready to go out to Arwin, go out to Patrik Jean, and then need my hair held back over the club loos by @Suomi to AleXa before recovering in hospital to A*Teens

Jaqline in death slot shocker

Edit: ugh can’t get the link to work. Potential running order on the Eurovision subreddit

 

[Lucille]

CALL THE POLICE!

 

[Tisch]

These were shown at the end of some Melfest reunion show a few days ago, and seems likely but nothing confirmed! (Pray for Jacqline)

Spoiler

Pimp slots for A-Teens and Sanna:

 

[Sheena]

Sweden don’t want to win this year, do they?

 

[FetchFugly]

Is going on second really such a death slot now with only six songs?

 

[Penelope]

Is going on second really such a death slot now with only six songs?

Indeed, Maja ended up going direkt from it in the opening heat last year!

However that being said I've heard altogether too many worrying murmurs of Jacqline having been mostly focused on BECOMING A NEW MOTHER since Effortless, which is rarely the most promising omen

 

[Lucille]

She should’ve been focusing on being a SLUT!

 

[FetchFugly]

Epiphanies in car back seats ONLY

 

[VoR]

Actual performance order is different to the leak, but Jacqline’s death slot remains

 

[Pingu]

A*Teens, Sanna Nielsen and Brandsta City Släckers getting pimp slots in 2026, what a time to be alive.

 

[Velvet Skies]

Only one more week until Marie Serneholt and Sara Lumholdt go direkt till final with a record breaking number of votes!

 

[ButterTart]

When are we getting the SNIPS OCH CLIPPETS please?

 

[Soldi]

Didn’t they release the songs in full last year?

 

[Penelope]

Didn’t they release the songs in full last year?

Yes. Snippets Thursday, full songs Friday if that's anything to go by.

 

[Penelope]

What the fuck?!

The random rock band on in heat three slot two are suddenly favourites to win Melfest?!

 

[Penelope]

Something appears to have actually happened but UNHELPFULLY all of what it actually is is behind the Aftonbladet paywall

They were on a popular talk show, and they came across really well. The lead singer joked he was going to bet on their song winning, and so a number of viewers took that as a sign to have a flutter.

It just shows how easily the betting market in that context can be affected.

 

[Penelope]

I swear to god, if that builds a movement

They've revealed their song is about a relationship. It's a metaphor.

 

[Pingu]

They’ve been favourites for a few weeks, Greczula just briefly overtook after Saturday.

 

[VoR]

God he really did get everywhere…

[PopLife]

Yes, he was dating the host of that year at the time, Eva Andersson Dubin. Allegedly their breakup was amicable and they kept contact afterwards. Her children called him “uncle Jeff” apparently and she was called to testify in defence of Ghislaine Maxwell in 2020.

 

[GNL]

God he really did get everywhere…

RIP Epstein you would have loved 'Still Young'.

A news item on the isolate mic feed videos:

 

[win_the_game]

If the guy from SVT isn't happy about it, maybe next year they could try selecting acts who can SING live.

 

[Pingu]

Another one where they interview this week’s artists. Felicia TRAUMATISED. Laila rightly unbothered.
