“This weekend, the final of the Melodifestivalen 2025 goes off. But before you vote I ask you to think for,” writes News24’s Gabriella Bark.
It is time for one of the absolute biggest highlights of the year – the final of the Melodifestivalen.
It is now possible to decide who or who will go to represent Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest which will take place this year in Switzerland.
Sweden is a very acclaimed country when it comes to Eurovision and over the years we have delivered a number of winners and also others for which things have also gone very well in the music competition.
If you look back, there are really Eurovision songs and performances that can be likened to pearls – they are timeless and have more or less become a bump in the history books.

But well … whatever people have come through over the years, we all know what Sweden has had that no one else has – and that is the primordial power Loreen. Eurovision’s own T-Rex. Garage’s Rolls-Royce. An armored car among butter knives.
But – now it is so that we sent her twice to ESC, both of whom she combed home the win. So sending an old winner – we have done that. The world has already seen this.
That’s what makes me a little worried here …. for sure the world accepts a reprise. But does the world accept a double reprise?
Måns Zelmerlöw won the Melodifestivalen 2015 grand with the song Heroes. Great fun and great. Måns is a big favorite in the Eurovision sphere and people out there love him. Even I dig charming Måns. But:
After we have already “recycled” our winners once, there will be no chance in hell that we will send an old winner again and that he wins again. Europe will not allow Europe to allow. Had another country done the same thing is seriously one of those who had sat and soured and thought it was flat and unimaginative?

It is a bit the same as we sent Norwegians to represent us the year (I am a cross -country skiing girl let me hate Norway if I want). This means that we absolutely cannot send noisy quay this year when they are Finnish Swedes and sing about Finland’s most subdued tradition which is a sauna?
Therefore, Måns Zelmerlöw is not allowed to win the Melodifestivalen 2025
No no Sweden now we have to think about how we really want it to go in Eurovision.
This year we are met by an extremely strong star field in the Eurovision Song Contest. One contribution is damn better than the other. There are armor, fire flames, advanced dance graphics, water that sprays. So – we have to come up with something good here.
To be honest, I think it had been good for Scarlet in ESC. Here’s something happening?! ??! The brides have devils in chains jumping around and it’s a rock song. The only Eurovision loves more than armor is rock !!

I don’t know much but one thing I know: If we are going up against the big fish this year, we must come up with something other than Måns that stands alone and dancing among lots of toilet paper pieces.
So think Before you vote!
