Our editors and our readers have the same top-5, but in a different order. Our readers think that Robin Bengtsson should win tonight and our editors believe that Wiktoria should represent Sweden, at Eurovision this year: Ervin’s favourite entry is ”Human” by Oscar Zia. He says that it ”is by far the best song in this selection – it is very modern, has a great melody, a very strong message, and his voice sounds powerful.” He also explains that ”even though it has the simplest staging in MF with no gimmick, it works best.” Mikael’s favourite entry is ”Save Me” by Wiktoria. He believes that ”Wiktoria’s staging is very impressive and for that reason, she stands out from her competition”. He also says that ”her song is very catchy and modern. It is perfect for Eurovision!”
