Melodifestivalen 2026: The Final (Stockholm)

[Madison]

Sanna still yet to repeat a placing.

 

[FetchFugly]

No love for the former winners tonight. At least Sanna beat Robin.

What a wonderful show (pls throw us some token schlager shit next year and reduce the country adjacent tosh, ta).

 

[FetchFugly]

I see the Melodifestivalen CD is finally DEAD this year, which is kind of making me want to fill in the gaps from the last few years.

First time watching and that was fabulous. Wanted A*Teens a little higher, but it’s about where they probably should have got. Rightfully so winner and another easy top ten for them in May. Cimberley doing well on both was pleasing.

I’m trying to figure out what ABBA song the Grezcula one reminds me of. Friend thinks it’s The Winner Takes it All, which baffles me, but I feel the start of the chorus is something relatively early from them but I can’t put my finger on it.

 

[Madison]

I agree with your friend - the chorus tracks The Winner Takes It All

 

[VoR]

Just caught up. Swedish voters reliably putting their game faces on, rejecting Delulu and boosting safer jury fodder Greczula despite the latter kinda flopping after its heat win.

Was hoping the juries would show Sanna a little more love, but it was nice to see her just enjoying the moment with zero realistic stakes, compared to the flop sweat and cocaine rage vibes of Måns last year.

Ready for a little/long break from seeing KAJ pop up everywhere TBH.

Vienna don't fuck up Felicia's stage show challenge!

 

[Penelope]

Loved the KAJ interval last night tbh. Happy for them to pop up as good time guys whenever if that's the standard they're going to meet!

After the severe lack of SJU since the heats went to 6 songs, I’m excited for next year

 

[Madison]

I’m so tired, I just went to Urban Dictionary to find out what the acronym SJU was.

And then I went looking for an announcement they were ditching the current stupid format.

 

[Agneeta]

What does it mean?

100% signed.

 

[dUb]

Oh sorry everyone it’s the number seven and they say it in a funny way

 

[dUb]

And next year is 2027. Please accept my apologies

 

[VoR]

So what’s happening with the format for next year?

 

[Agneeta]

So what’s happening with the format for next year?

@dUb will be adding a lucky number 7 to everything. It's very exciting!

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Absolutely loving Sanna's reactions to her loss



CERTAIN OTHER PAST WINNERS SHOULD TAKE NOTE

STATS STATS STATS

Meira was well ahead of Cimberly in total votes in their heat

Any other hot takeaways?

 

[VoR]

Poor Sanna dead last in the televote and last with every demographic under the age of 45!

 

[Penelope]

Interesting that Medina actually beat Greczula on votes in the final!

 

[Soldi]

It would have been a much less nervy ending had it been a Felicia/Medina split screen.

 

[auretz]

Poor Sanna dead last in the televote and last with every demographic under the age of 45!

In fact she got the fewest raw vote total for any finalist since 2021

 

[Penelope]

Felicia got the highest heat vote ever, I believe! Quite something for heat 2
