It’s the last National Final weekend of the year. And that means Sweden is ready to decide on its song for Vienna.
Michael and Bryan jump into the Melodifestivalen final, with 12 songs all vying for that ticket south.
While some may argue Melfest has been going downhill of late, the fact that Michael and Bryan can’t settle on one winner is a positive. You can enjoy the show (and find out who wins) by watching via SVT Play from 8pm CET on Saturday 7 March (or 6am AEDT on Sunday 8 March).
In this episode:
- Decide if you’re Team Medina or Team Bryan
- Find out just how much of a boomer mum Michael is
- Wonder who the 3-9 year olds will be voting for
