Melodifestivalen 2026: Deltävling Two (Göteborg)

[VoR]

Why are we so convinced BCS will make it? Arvingarna flopped last year and with the voting system they’re unlikely to get high points from the younger generation.

By all accounts BCS have a better song, and Arvingarna had kind of worn out their welcome with 3 very similar entries in such a short space of time.

 

[Penelope]

Arvingarna felt a bit too much like going back to the exact same well as their previous two entries did, and Brandsta City Slackers both have a beloved previous entry and their first bite of the throwback cherry this time. I'd say I imagine they'll be a bit more like Rolandz in their appeal than Arvingarna last year.

 

[Penelope]

And who's to say 3-9s will be all that against the fun fireman song?

 

[ButterTart]

The BCS song has fully dampened my cellar and, as you all know, I'm a man of very discerning tastes.

My System is whiny and annoying

Hope Robin beats it to the final x

dUb...not this time. Not for THAT

 

[dUb]

More because it would piss the hive mind off rather than any particular fondness I have for it, which is minimal

Naturally I’m behind the ballad woman

 

[Suomi]

SPOILER for the show:

Spoiler

Charlotte Perrelli and Gina Dirawi will be performing a number called Lessons in Schlagerdivadom

 

[Penelope]

I have now heard My System in full and decided that it's about gonorrhea.

 

[PopLife]

Yay!

Spoiler: Audience poll after the dress rehearsal

1 - Felicia - i have honestly never heard anything so clubby! A clever song really because it manages a very emotional stance whilst also being very @ButterTart @ Creamfields

2 - Brandsta City - you can’t help but imagine Linda Bengtzing being lifted by some strapping firemen can you? She’s always in our head, our hearts, our body parts.

This is the essence of Melodifestivalen right here - it must be a finalist.

3 - Klara - a fantastic couplet to open - this is a very sweet number fronted by the villain from
The Hand That Rocks the Cradle

4 - Laila Adele - I’ll always have a bit of time for an upset lass with pipes. Pipes TBC

5 - Arwin - his last entry was one of the greatest songs I’ve ever heard. This is not. Very ‘the music I’ve always wanted to make’ flop album from ex-boybander

6 - Robin - this is very phoned in and nothing on The Heart of a Swedish Cowboy.

I've been thinking this whole time that Klara has a look of Sara Cox but these Rebecca DeMornay comparisons have turned my head.

 

[FetchFugly]

The balloons are a bobbing to Dolly Style.

 

[ButterTart]

Can confirm my head, my heart AND my body part are all ready

 

[win_the_game]

This gospel intro is terrible at best, appropriation at worst.

 

[ButterTart]

I’ve made the thread live so we can all experience “Robin DTF?” “NOOOOOOOOOI” “Ugh FUCK ROBIN” in real time

 

[Penelope]

Not dressing Arwin in the VICTORIA BECKHAM 2000 ERA RED LEATHER

 

[ButterTart]

BCS and Felicia getting the biggest crowd pops

 

[ButterTart]

Why has he come back with a song far, far shitter than his first effort? This is just a miserable experience

 

[Tisch]

Watching this with a child is imagine very similar to watching with a 90 year old. Lots of "WHAT DID HE SAY" and I've just been asked if "IS HE SINGING ALL THE SONGS".

 

[FetchFugly]

I really liked his previous offering but this is pretty heinous. I do not approve of the change in direction.

 

[Tisch]

Like a male Mae Muller

 

[Penelope]

He's literally playing '17 year old fantasises about being a popstar' - QUEEN!

 

[D5K]

That was better than I was expecting from the Moopy reviews.

 

[Penelope]

Rachel Dolezal I love your work!

 

[win_the_game]

The styling is very LOOSE WOMAN PANELIST ATTENDS NATIONAL TELEVISION AWARDS.

 

[Tisch]

She's LEVITATING guys.

The way the chorus builds builds builds and then just stops

 

[FetchFugly]

She's giving it welly but this is a lumpen X Factor ballid

 

[ButterTart]

Really enjoying this one.

 

[Penelope]

Really want Laila to run off that diving board and swandive into the crowd at the end

 

[Tisch]

My child has both said he preferred the "rock star" one and has also begun writhing around on the floor, so I'm getting mixed messages on where the 3-9 vote is going so far

 

[win_the_game]

She was far better than the song

 

[Penelope]

The actual BETRAYAL AND HORROR of that Robin Bengtsson walk-on track!

 

[FetchFugly]

Real Music Rob.

 

[ButterTart]

Wasn’t expecting a sly bit of Creedence Clearwater Revival from my Swedish homosexual flotilla

 

[FetchFugly]

Oh he's not got the prop guitar.

 

[ButterTart]

Here comes the king of just sort of turning up and not getting in anybody’s way

 

[Soldi]

When will Robin just GO AWAY?

 

[ButterTart]

He’s forgotten how to sing in tune since his last effort

 

[Soldi]

You PEAKED with your first entry!
