Måns or Kaj - who will win Melodifestivalen?

The gaming companies believe in a win for Måns Zelmerlöw – while the audience at the dress rehearsal on Friday wants to see Kaj as the winner of Melodifestivalen. Tonight, it will be decided who we will send to the European Championship in Basel.

27 percent of the genre audience says that Kaj is their favorite, 17 percent are rooting for Måns Zelmerlöw. The former Eurovision winner is also the one the betting companies believe will take home the whole prize when it comes down to it.

However, the favorite himself does not dare to take victory for granted beforehand, but Zelmerlöw is very pleased with the genre rehearsal.

The response from the audience felt fantastic. And it feels safe that half is done now – and I'm pleased that I set the song.

The confetti, which previously had a life of its own, did not cause any major problems during the rehearsal.

Except that I got a piece stuck in my forehead, it went well, I didn't get any in my mouth anyway. But I'm terrified of the confetti.

What do you think if you lose tonight?

If I've done everything I can, a loss will feel completely okay. But I'll definitely be upset if I feel that I didn't give it my all.

Mostly Kaj in Eurovision

If it's not himself who wins, he, like the audience at the genre rehearsal, wants to see Kaj in Eurovision.

Kaj has previously said that they would be satisfied with coming second in the competition. But now the Finnish-Swedish humor group has started to see themselves as potential winners.

After the genre rehearsal, we got that feeling that it would be fun to get to perform the song again at the end. But it's almost too big, I get so nervous when I think about it, says Jacob Norrgård.

Have you talked to Måns about that you seem to be in the top struggle?

Yes, we stole his water just now. We're playing a little mind game with him.

John Lundvik was the first to advance to the final this year and has a previous win under his belt. But he thinks that Zelmerlöw feels more pressure on him as a former Eurovision winner.

Yes, considering the favorite pressure and all the writings. But you never know how it goes, the media can speculate and you can tip. Not until the Swedish people and the international jury have spoken do we know how it goes.

Unexpected Support

Klara Hammarström is fourth among the betting companies, but ended up in seventh place among the genre audience. Ahead of the final, she reveals that she has received support from an unexpected quarter: from the angels, via Carola.

She wrote that she couldn't stop thinking about me and that she had my song on her mind all week. The angels had told her to write to me, it was a long message. But it feels like a good sign!
