Sweden always has the best selection songs of any country for Eurovision.

Yes I'm excited. Molly Pettersson Hammar and Molly Sanden and Ace are back.

I'm really looking forward to this.

Really curious to hear My Heart Wants Me Dead cuz Saara co-wrote that one apparently.

I hope that this year for once they won't send a generic song with uninspired lyrics. "Undo" would've been flawless with better lyrics ("undo my sad"? Seriously?). Possibly, send something in Swedish, since you're the host country and you likely won't win again

she needs to retire, she's a horrible host and she's so annoying-looking and sounding

my fave Swedish pop girl

Looking forward to these entries

i'm just nervous that most of them will be bad songs cause they probably think they can't win again.

This is such a huge event in Sweden, it is so impressive!

Will we get to hear the songs before the actual thing?

Ready for the bops

Rollercoaster is coming

Nope.

If you want to her Ace's song you have to wait till Gothenburg.


Melfest begins this SATURDAY!

we will hear a snippet a day before though, right?

can't wait

Previews are on the SVT Melodifestivalen FB page!
