Genuinely astonished at Loreen! This line up is unreal!
Queenah Nah, Ace, Loreen, Mariette.

Semi Final 4 is going to be a bloodbath with Loreen, Wiktoria, Jon Henrik & the newbies.

The Loreen rumour was true.

Ace Wilder, Wiktoria, Krista, Charlotte, Jon Henrik, Mariette, Dinah.....Loreen!?!?

I genuinely did not see that coming, what an all star cast we've got.

À la Frans. Of course, I'm rooting for Ace to win this year (third time lucky) but I wouldn't bet on it.

Sweden 2018 looks on the cards with that line up

What a great line up for Sweden. Bjorkman will already be planning what new idea the EBU Reference group will give unanimous approval to in 2018.

Perhaps Loreen is getting bored of touring European film studios singing Euphoria during Eurovision season?

****ing ridiculous lineup.

Semi final 3 looks the weakest on name value on paper, should have stuck one of Loreen, Jon or Wiktoria in it, but obviously it might end up being the strongest on song value. So whatever!

Almost certain. Even with a naff song she will get the pimp slot and the push of being a first time returning winner

Christer wants that 7th win before he lets go of the reins...

That's a pretty impressive line-up all told.

Great to see Mariette, Robin and Ace (still grasping on to her fast vanishing youth with both hands with that song title) in the line up.

I'm intrigued by Alice Svensson's song title "Running with Lions" I'm expecting/hoping for tribal African beats.

As for Loreen.....either she's got the song to end all songs or it's a last gasp attempt to resuscitate a failing career. It has to be better than performing "Euphoria" on a ferry though. Am surprised that the rumour was so low key after all that.

Do we know the songwriter's for the songs yet? Ah yes, just seen them on wiwi. Ignore the question.

That Swedish Line Up Of course we don't know what songs they're singing and I actually think if Loreen wins it won't win the whole contest, only because it would be instantly compared (probably unfavourably, unless its totally awesome) to Euphoria by every commentator going. Still, massively competitive Melfest. That final has the potential to be the best and most competitive ever. So excited

Blimey! The Fooo Conspiracy song is co-written by Mutt Lange.

Never thought I'd see Sara Varga back at MF. She looked positively suicidal in 2011 in front of the cameras.

oh and so much for Christer's promise to Anna Book last year after the Moldovan fiasco....

She's nowhere to be seen.

Thankfully.

No Margaret either after all the excitement of yesterday.

And this is for Makson.

All killer no filler. Sweden 2018 is on bitches.

Loreen, Ace, Dinah Nah, Charlotte, Krista, Lisa Ajax, Wiktoria, Mariette, Boris bringing his litter box back, Big Rog to reawaken the spirits and JHF to do another song with about 5 words of chanting.

Slay me now. <3

Why does Loreen need to risk it? ... Well it's only those guest performance slots at Melfest that've kept her afloat in the years since. She's struggled to make any headway with the music she's released since. Participating in Melfest gives a month of free promo and automatic chart success, that's why they all keep coming back when they've got new stuff to release.

It's not so much the 7th win, it's the 8th he's after. I genuinely think Sweden will overtake Ireland in the next 5 years - & then we'll see the back of Christer.

Is it just me, or does it look like Ace has had work done?

http://media.shootitlive.com/ZXI3Mp9...tonbladet/5539

I'm liking the look of Dismissed already.

http://media.shootitlive.com/L5A7vjb...tonbladet/5539

And Christer has commented..

Christer Björkman on the line-up

"It's one of the strongest line-ups ever from several different perspectives, especially the variety of genres. And it's a hit parade like no other, it is so packed with hits it hurts a little to know that there can only be one winner. Every single song is relevant and every single artist has an audience."

Here's hoping it's not just hype and we are in for a classic Melfest.

My God! What has Sara Varga done to her face?

http://media.shootitlive.com/BzRDdDX...tonbladet/5539

She looks like Janice from the Muppet Show these days.

btw, Belarus are currently broadcasting their live auditions....

If I didn't have to go to work, I'd endure the torture myself.

The Melfest line-up is everything. Oh my god it's incredible. How could anyone but Sweden win 2017? Charlotte Perrelli and LOREEN??!! Jon Henrik Fjallgren? Amazing. Mariette, Ace, Wiktoria, Krista, Dinah, Lisa Ajax? On FIRE with those divas! Old blue eyed Robin too? Be still my beating heart.

I can't with this. Just. Loreen man. LOREEN.
