Melodifestivalen 2026: Deltävling One (Linköping)

I didn't even realise Andra Chansen was smaller. And the indignity of her not getting flowers and standing up on stage either. Honestly WHAT.
Isn’t it because they’ve shoved it on at the end of the last heat?
 
Well i’m glad I just watched the performances and just came back here just now to see who got through :D A*teens the only one i’d bother to listen to again !
 
What a BANGER honestly


It really could've done with Alcazar as the performers to give it some proper welly. And the moment where the camera just panned across the audience while they were running behind the boxes to climb up top was a disaster! It should've had the cameras following Andreas like he was inviting someone into an alleyway behind the bins :disco:
 
Also whoever thought that andra chansen announcement format was a good idea just doesn't understand anything about television.
 
A*Teens were so clearly a cut above the rest - it felt like a celebrity interval performance

Have to say that Sara impressed me the most - she really delivered the passion, the spirit and the mightiest of hair flicks.

One thing I really hate about the current format is the way it creates a tiered system for the finalists. We don't know yet how close A*Teens were to Greczula on the vote, but there'll be the impression now that he has the winner momentum and they just got through.

Hopefully they have the bigger hit in the coming weeks. There's really nothing much to his song beyond the borrowed Elton John/Laura Branigan hook.

Interesting - we thought the opposite as all those 12s and the ceremony of the televote! I would rather go through like that.

Golden amount of screen time for these incredibly bronzed millenial queens and kings :disco:

It didn’t help Måns when he beat KAJ in their heat last year.
 
Also, it is kind of evened out by the additional screen time and ceremony the other qualifier gets, as well as the fact they qualify based on the system that will eventually be used in the final.
 
yesterday also reminded me of one of the things I like best about Melodifestivalen in terms of its narrative arc - that Marie Serneholt can flop badly with her two solo entries but now fifteen years later experience the succcess that eluded her - it shows you that life is full of opportunities if you just keep holding on and never stop believing
 
I take it back actually - I think I did enjoy the return of the scoreboard in the end? Just make it a quick announcement of who got andra chansen straight after to close things out with THE ARRIVAL OF LOVE after though.

Why is this getting laugh reactions when I’m serious

Here's a crazy thought: Announce the scoreboard winner, get them out of the green room, set up the stage for a proper reprise, use those 2 minutes to announce who made AC and finish with the finalist's performance. :o
 
The scoreboard is just SUCH a waste of time. Maybe one week out of five will it offer up any actual suspense.
 
I can't believe Anton Ewald deciding to drop a molly in the Green Room killed off proper reprises forever :(

That raw vote was tight as hell:

14 Greczula – 55 948 streams
15 A-Teens – 55 314 streams.
21 Junior Lerin – 50 397 streams.
25 Noll2 – 47 756 streams.

Tomorrow's streams will be interesting as they'll take into account the first post-show day.
 
Spotify totals

A*Teens 190,694
Grezcula 116,748
Noll2 83,378
Jacqline 80,966
Junior Lerin 78,063
Indra 51,762
This is slightly unreflective of how they will do in Sweden as they are including my 75,000 streams for A*Teens since Friday, and SVT have somehow figured out how to block my VPN from voting through the app
