Melodifestivalen 2026: Deltävling One (Linköping)

[ButterTart]

Already off key and dressed like shit. EVERYTHING I WANTED AND MORE

 

[Soldi]

 

[Agneeta]

13/10 NO NOTES AND I MEAN NONE

 

[ButterTart]

Dancing like Danny DeVito when he played the stripper in Friends

CROWN HIM NOW.

 

[Sheena]

I’m totally here for this. Don’t want it to qualify, but this is what makes Melodifesitvalen what it is an absolutely unlistenable.

 

[Tisch]

Have heard his song 0.3 times and I'm already able to sing along

 

[D5K]

Oh to have to the confidence and sheer delusion to do this on national television.

 

[Agneeta]

Send this to whichever central European country is hosting this year.

 

[ButterTart]

HE COULDN'T EVEN WINK PROPERLY, IT WAS JUST A PHASED BLINK

Truly the greatest performance in Melodifestivalen history.

The UNIMPRESSED audience member

 

[win_the_game]

Oh god YOHIO. I'd wiped that one from memory.

 

[ButterTart]

The UNIMPRESSED audience member

Was that not the husband he was singing about? There wasn't much of the Copacabana about him but I can't understand why they cut to him specifically otherwise.

 

[ButterTart]

Oh god YOHIO. I'd wiped that one from memory.

Alice from Vicar of Dibley.

 

[D5K]

Ooh it’s a Laurell Barker

 

[ButterTart]

There's a look of Jennifer Coolidge about this one.

 

[Sheena]

Trying to sing vaguely in key might be an idea

 

[ButterTart]

Trying to sing vaguely in key might be an idea

I was just thinking it felt like she went completely awry for the entire second verse.

 

[ButterTart]

Really enjoying the song in a 2017 Polish entrant way, but the vocals just weren't there at all.

 

[win_the_game]

Loved that graphic ROSEBUD imagery at the end.

 

[Tisch]

This is A*Teens now. Feel old yet?

 

[ButterTart]

A bit of vamping while they set up - A*Teens must have RINSED the staging budget for this week.

 

[ButterTart]

Oh my God, Cazzi Opeia AND Sara Cox wrote this?

Deeply upsetting.

 

[Soldi]

Oh I thought we had another song before A*Teens

 

[Soldi]

Oh my God, Cazzi Opeia AND Sara Cox wrote this?

Deeply upsetting.

What’s your problem with Cazzi Opeia?!

 

[ButterTart]

What’s your problem with Cazzi Opeia?!

Nothing as such, just that her songs were absolute shit and she's a horribly offputting person.

 

[Sheena]

Let’s face it, it’s not going to win the whole thing, but it’s head and shoulders over everything else tonight.

 

[Sheena]

LOOK AT THE HEART GO!

 

[ButterTart]

This comfortably demolishes everything tonight.

 

[Agneeta]

Petra Mede needs to cancel her plans for May 2027

 

[Agneeta]

1,000,000/10

 

[Soldi]

 

[Soldi]

Can’t wait for that to finish 9th in the final!

 

[ButterTart]

That was EXCELLENT. They must have enjoyed listening to but not participating in the chorus just as much as we did.

 

[Tisch]

Well that was POLISHED. Feels like it's been a year in the making (maybe it has?)

1. A*Teens
2. Junior Lerin
3. Indra
4. Grezcula
5. Jacquline
6. Those guys

 

[ButterTart]

1. Junior
2. A*Teens
3. Grezcula
4. Podcasters
5. Jackqyielynne
6. Honking Indra

 

[Tisch]

The Grezcula song sounds exactly like Gloria right?

 

[Tisch]

The best opening heat since 2022

 

[win_the_game]

The best opening heat since 2022

I thought it was TERRIBLE

 

[Agneeta]

Well that was POLISHED. Feels like it's been a year in the making (maybe it has?)

Or just 10 mins on Suno.
