This is true, if you want to know whos gonna win Melfest before you hear the songs just search for whos performing last in the last heat. They always give the ultimate pimp slot to the one they want to represent them
Well, it's not that obvious. It was, yeah, last year with Loreen. But:
  • 2022, Cornelia won from heat 1 while Klara Hammarström finished 6th
  • 2021, Tusse won from heat 3 while Eric Saade stood at 2nd place
  • 2020, The Mamas were the opener of the heats and not the finisher, while Hanna Ferm finished at a distant 4th position
  • 2019, OK, John Lundvik
  • 2018, Benjamin Ingrosso won from heat 1 while Mariette finished 5th...
So... it's not that obvious. And from the released tracks, snippets and impressions from heat 5, I feel like this Melodifestivalen is still really open to competition this year.

SVT doesnt have a personal Favourite. Everyone gets a fair Chance.

They do. Every single show like this has a producer favourite. Be it in Sweden, UK, Italy or wherever. The voting procedures etc may be 100% fair, but producers have their preferences and will do everything in their power to nudge it a certain way. Sometimes it pays off, sometimes it doesn't. It's not a hit at MF, it's just how all these shows operate.

Unless you have a song in Swedish, unless you are a newer artist, unless you haven't been in Mello 33245 times already, unless you don't work with Thomas G:string and Jimmy 'Joaquin Phoenix' Joker, then yes.

Cornelia was a newer artist and didnt have any of these songwriters.

Anyway its not SVTs Fault that its always the same People who deliver.

No, Markolinho there is a Swedish flag in front of it which is why you pump it up.

As already proved before, I always give every Country a fair Chance to convince me, nj.

Isa Molin who co-wrote 'Hold Me Closer' might be a new name and so far has only two entries, but her dad is literally Bobby Ljunggren, a veteran at Melfest.

Not saying her participation is merely because her dad is a Melfest legend, but it possibly makes things easier for her to enter.

Dotter is a cinematographer's wet dream xheart

Love pretty much everything about this performance and Dotter's artistry and talent elevated this even more so. It's Not Easy To Write a Love Song might not be better than Bulletproof but you can feel its authenticity and arguably the most personal song for her that she's competed with.

She sounded pretty good too on the live mic feed for someone that was sick earlier in the week. Obviously it won't win but it is yet another great Melfest entry from her. (y)

I feel like some people are having a tiny case of bias towards Medina because it's in Swedish. Very clear step down from In i dimman in my book, maybe the staging will make me feel different. Sounds way too much FIFA and not enough Medina.

Not too crazy about the Norwegians either, basically just another version of Air. Can't remember the melody after listening to the clip several times.

Did Jacqline just win? If he isn't put first in the running order I think Danny could still place pretty high. His lack of staging might not be an issue, Swedes voted for Bagge's slideshow, and this is such a weak year the televote might just go for a face they like. Both of their stagings genuinely suck, and need to be updated in case they go to Malmö.

On paper I thought this could have been a pretty good year, I don't really mind the line-up being mostly returnees since we're hosting. But I can't remember a year this dire. 2017 wasn't great either, but not at this level. Ironically 2013 maybe? No stand out song at all.
