Post a one-and-done Melfest entrant

[PopLife]

She wanted to be the next Loreen. The public said "Nej tack" and she was gone, never to be seen again.

Loved this conlang nonsense back in 05

Same as with Agnes and he can with both, Melfest and ESC. Hope to see him back soon.

Not a ballad next time though please

Still think about this diva who debuted as a backing singer before she got a shot at Melodifestivalen, and quite literally never did anything else.

 

[Penelope]

An absolute fav

Oh how I love a HEARTY SHAKE OF THE BREASTS to the post-chorus on this one

 

[PopLife]

She scored a viral hit by turning a Kikki Danielsson song into a tropical house bop and then did Melfest thinking it would happen again. It didn’t.

Truly one of the most JAWDROPPING performances of all time!

The Wanted from Ica. I remember Eric Saade livetweeting "WTF was that?" during their performance. One of Fredrik Kempe's worst.

Apart from the aforementioned Caracola there were shitloads of girlgroups.

Ai - Bilder av dig (1999)



Excellence - Last To Know (2002)



Cosmo4 - What’s Your Name (2007)

And these two Britney knock offs from 2001 which came 9th and 10th and were absolutely robbed. (Teresia in particular)

Teresia - Kom ner på jorden



Rosanna - Om du var har hos mig

That middle eight remains life affirming.

I love Sanna and I’m glad she finally got to Eurovision but Helena really should have won that year.

 

[VoR]

I understand she wanted to reconnect with her Swedish fanbase, but she should have just gone with that song for Greece.

It was exactly that, to promote her new English language album - I don’t think she even thought she’d win. As plenty of people have said before - it’s harder to win Melodifestivalen than it is to win Eurovision.

I still think she deserved a second shot after this

 

[PopLife]

Gotta say that the verses are a bit too much Meatloaf, but I love the chorus and the keychange.



This was one of my favs back in 2008 and still is now. The best Mika single that never was.



Speaking of Mika, I love this too.

 

[auretz]

Still not sure who this was meant to appeal to, but I'm so glad it was there

Where now, Aninia? Truly, nobody has WORKED a wind machine moment quite like her since...

Where now, Aninia? Truly, nobody has WORKED a wind machine moment quite like her since...

She later changed her stage name to 'Antoninia Nutshell' and pursued other broadcast opportunities, none of which can be described as a success
