What's your personal favorite for this final?

That being said, Søren Torpegaard Lund reigns supreme at the top of my list. That performance? That song? Denmark, I was not familiar with your game. Time to apologize to my Swedish husband. 🫡 #Eurovision

Greece & Croatia picking solid choices today. What a pleasure adding them to my playlist ranking for the year. (Special shoutout to Marseaux as well, #2 with the Greek and International juries! Xanomai has been living in my head rent free all season since announced) #Eurovision

The Twilight comparison is spot on and I'm dying over here now thinking about it. 😆

I'm glad someone else pointed it out. I would like to know what costuming and staging was thinking. Felt like they were beating us over the head with the infinity symbol. I love Sissal and the song but that was not it.

I AM SO HAPPY DENMARK SENT SØREN!!! #MGP2026 #MelodiGrandPrix

This would honestly make me the happiest. What a performance!

Happy to see our first guaranteed NQ of the year from Estonia. What a crying shame for Ollie. #EestiLaul

Next week brings Smash into Pieces, one of my most anticipated acts of the year. Truly love Melodifestivalen with all of my heart. #Melfest

And Saga goes to the final too! I was spot on again this week and couldn't be happier. Big congratulations to Eva heading to the AC as well. #Melfest #Melodifestivalen

Absolutely not shocked. Well deserved Medina! #Melfest #Melodifestivalen

I will be going back for a replay of Melodi Grand Prix. Too many songs I want to see performed live! #MGP2026 #MelodiGrandPrix

6. Saga Ludvigsson "Ain't Today" - It takes a lot for country pop to win me over, but this does. Easy to sing along with and worms its way into my brain. My favorite tonight and I think it'll go through to the final. #Melfest #Melodifestivalen

5. Eva Jumatate "Selfish" - Stunning vocals (!!!) here but I wish the song gave me more. #Melfest #Melodifestivalen

What if we kissed on the #eestilaul epic kiss cam

I would be gobsmacked if it went to the final honestly.

4. Medina "Viva L'Amor" - I cannot say enough how much I love the energy Medina brings to their performances. A catchy tune that I fully expect to win the DTF tonight. We'll see if Sweden still carries the torch for Medina. #Melfest #Melodifestivalen

3. Emilia Pantic "Ingenting" - This staging makes me feel like I'm in the middle of a CW break-up scene. (And that's a compliment) Vocals are great and this will land on my Swedish songs playlist. But this is my third Mello and I know it likely won't go far. A shame. #Melfest #Melodifestivalen

Hahaha, glad to hear it may not resonate then! Just not the kind of rock n roll that I enjoy. 😆

2. Korslagda "King of Rock 'n' Roll" - Respectfully, this song just isn't for me. I see this doing well with the older ages groups tonight. #Melfest #Melodifestivalen

1. Patrik Jean "Dusk till Dawn" - The dances in the box are cool visually, but it did feel awkward just watching Patrik stand there during the break. Performance was good but it still sits in the middle for me tonight I think. #Melfest #Melodifestivalen

Why does Too Epic To Be True sound like it belongs in a children's movie soundtrack? Thanks, I hate it. #EestiLaul

Big fan of the costuming for Getter Jaani for her performance of The Game. Overall a knockout performance and one of the bops that made it onto my playlist. #EestiLaul

That staging and performance of Slave by OLLIE screams winner potential. So fucking good. #EestiLaul

My ranking of Melodifestivalen Heat 3 - ahead of seeing the performances:
1. Ain't Today - Saga Ludvigsson
2. Viva L'Amor - Medina
3. Ingenting - Emilia Pantic
4. Dusk till Dawn - Patrik Jean
5. Selfish - Eva Jumatate
6. King of Rock 'n' Roll - Korslagda

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

🧊 in my neighborhood this morning.

Honestly really hoping I get approved to move to my husband so I can enjoy national finals and Eurovision season IN Europe. (And hopefully attend some events some day!)

I really thought this was a weak heat overall. Looking forward to seeing what the artists bring next week, especially Saga Ludvigsson. #Melfest #Melodifestivalen

Brandsta City Släckers comes in as expected for the second final slot. Well deserved, what a fun performance. #Melfest #Melodifestivalen
