Melodifestivalen 2026: Deltävling Three (Kristianstad)

[ButterTart]

Is that Prue Leith?

We'll have plenty of time to find out because these skits are always fucking feature length.

 

[ButterTart]

Why does that music sting make me nervous even when I don't give a shit who qualifies?

 

[ButterTart]

Oh SHIT

 

[ButterTart]

These results

 

[FetchFugly]

Eva apparently OVERWHELMED

 

[ZenGiraffe]

How, despite there being no wrong answers, are they still FUCKING THIS UP?

 

[Soldi]

The rock band in THIRD?

 

[Tisch]

The first time these votes are somewhat split and exciting and I HATE IT

 

[Soldi]

Patrik was probably the best out of the five.

 

[ButterTart]

I'm actually here for Eva qualifying even though the song's not up to much. I love a surprise.

 

[win_the_game]

Eva to go DIREKT please.

 

[ButterTart]

POOR PATRIK

 

[Soldi]

POOR PATRIK

They told us it was like the last two Eurovision winners and it’s finished fifth in its heat

 

[dUb]

Bless her. She’ll be a lovely 9th place

 

[ButterTart]

In fairness, that's all those two deserved as well.

 

[RobBot]

Kinda rooting for Eva to do well with her Never Give Up so she can come back next year with her slutted up When I’m Gone.

 

[FetchFugly]

POOR PATRIK

After Arwin last week Sweden is clearly not feeling camp frippery opening their MF heats.

 

[VoR]

POOR PATRIK, but he was really giving ‘leaked footage of the stand-in performer’ with that live show.

Jacqline’s road through AC looking relatively comfortable so far.

Give Nanne a comeback slot next year you cowards!

 

[Suomi]

A great heat- Medina obvious winners but the rest very suspenseful. The amount of women crying - anyone would think they’d been told the non-qualifiers would be SHOT backstage

Praying 4 Pat Jean

 

[Penelope]

- Patrik Jean... god that felt doomed from the moment it became clear he'd a. learned absolutely nothing from the Strobe Lights performance, and b. learned absolutely nothing from how he did the first time around that being a songwriter is all well and good, but you need to actually be a PERFORMER as well. He should've dropped a pill before he went onstage

- Thrilled and delighted we will NEVER SEE KORSLAGDA AGAIN

- I kind of came around to that park bench nervous breakdown in the end. Shame we won't see her again, she was better than the song!

- Wasn't convinced on Viva l'amour in studio, but I think that might be their best performance and staging yet. A very worthy heat winner.

- That Selfish one felt like it was close to a decade out of date (it's the kind of thing I'd have expected Lithuania to miss the finals with c. 2019), but she sang it well enough I guess. I'm more interested to see what better songwriters can put together for her next year, really.

- At no point did any creativity whatsoever go into the composition or staging of Ain't Today - 10/10, delighted it qualified

 

[Pingu]

But the whole of the Swedish music and media industries were calling Dusk Till Dawn as a potential Eurovision winner… I don’t understand what happened!!

 

[auretz]

Is "Ingenting" the first ever entry to come dead last in every single age group?

I refuse to believe last year's Do Good Be Be Be Better isn't the lowest scoring song in the history of the contest in every metric.

When they did that thing that year of giving each act some teaser news of how well they did with each of the age groups, they said to Amen-A “Amen-A you have gone down especially well with the 16-29 age group”

What they really meant:

But seriously, what did those Gen Z sociopaths think was WORSE than Do Good Be Be Be Better?

In fairness, TENNESSEE TEARS and I fully support their choice

Oh God, that was ATROCIOUS. I had to check what else was in that semi and I have absolutely zero recollection of "Bara du är där" which apparently went to AC?

 

[Velvet Skies]

I think Saga's song was really cute and cheerful, I'm glad she made the finals!

Patrik ending up second to last in this field is really astounding.
