Mmm. Can we end this eternal Scandinavian debate? Here are my thoughts about Melfest entries:UMK consisted of Käärja and 6 Nonqualifiers/Bottom5-Entries imo, while Melfest had lots of other Songs that could have done well (Marcus and Martinus could have won the Juryvote as well imo.)
If we compare the Positions.
01. Loreen >>> Käärja
02. Marcus and Martinus >>> Portion Boys
03. Smash into Pieces >>> Keira
04. Jon Henrik and Friends <<< Robin Packalen
05. Theoz <<< Kuuma
06. Kiana >>> Lxandra
07. Paul Rey >>> Benjamin
Not to forget that Melfest gave us other great Songs from Maria Sur, Wiktoria, Melanie Wehbe and Laurell Barker that didnt reach the Top7..
Given how the public and jury voted this year: Keira, Benjamin, KUUMAA and Robin would be for sure qualifying in my opinion.
- KUUMAA are just amazing so I saw them Top 10 for sure.
- Robin's unique stage show and flawless vocal would be enough that the jury would carry him to Top 10.
- Keira had a girly bop that people were missing a lot in this edition, so with a bit of a revamped staging she had Top 10 potential.
- Benjamin with a stable vocal performance and more elaborate staging also had Top 10 potential.
So these 4 + Käärijä makes 5/7 viable songs in their selection.
Mello had their Top 3 as options that were for sure qualifying and going to be Top 10. THE pop and songwriter nation with a big established show... just 3/28 were viable...
And the 7 songs from UMK felt more diverse than the whole 28 in Melfest.
So you understand how it works now. You are giving an opinion which some don't agree with. You aren't necessarily right or wrong as there is no way of knowing how those songs could've done at Eurovision. Marcus + Martinus were strictly a promotion act. They were never going to win. Theoz and Kiana were Swedish domestic fads in my view and way overestimated by the Melfest brigade of fans. Others will disagree but that is the beauty of debate.Your Assumptions are solely based on your personal Taste
Is that Ylva & Linda's mom?
This is insane, I screamed reading it lol. Meltdown of the century incoming when she is voted out.
She will go into this thinking it's her show and that she is the star of everything. Question is who will she end up suing?This is insane, I screamed reading it lol. Meltdown of the century incoming when she is voted out.
Who is she? Can you give some context? Sounds like she is quite the characterShe will go into this thinking it's her show and that she is the star of everything. Question is who will she end up suing?
Hi everyone, could I get some help from you with a quick quizz for my degree? It can be done in less than 10 minutes. You can find my instagram in my profile.
Gunilla Persson is a known figure for many years in Sweden. She got her fame from being a part of the show Svenska Hollywoodfruar (Swedish Hollywoodwives), where she was known to create a lot of drama and wasn't afraid of fighting with the other wives when they met up. During the show, that had it's last season 2019, she caused a bit of criticism because of helping her daughter, who was 10 when the show started, to become a child star in singing or acting, and having her old mom still living in her house. She is also very christian, a lot more than the average Swede.Who is she? Can you give some context? Sounds like she is quite the character
Thanks for the context!Gunilla Persson is a known figure for many years in Sweden.

I believe though, that most of this is an act. She is clearly overacting on many parts to still create drama and earn a bit of extra cash. She has been treated though very poorly by some media outlets, that even written lies about her and she has been sueing for it, something that still is up in court at the moment.
So yeah, she is quite a character, and if it is true that she is joining MF, I will be laughing cause I can't help liking this crazy old woman.![]()
wow, Sweden has its own Devito![]()
Thanks for the context!
Is SVT really that desperate for ratings to put a trash TV starlet in the in the lineup?
