Sweden: These are the winners of Melodifestivalen 2024! | Next stop, Malmö!
The Final Show of Melodifestivalen 2024 has just ended and we now have a winner! Marcus & Martinus are the winner of this year’s Swedish national selection that took place at Friends Arena in Stockholm, Sweden.
The experts
New in Melodifestivalen this year is the participation of a couple of really knowledgeable music and Mello-experts – radio and TV profile Tina Mehrafzoon and Mello-oracle Ronny Larsson. During both the races and the final, they analyze the evening’s line-up and give their opinion on how they are doing.
The show
Carina Berg is the host of all the shows of the tour this year! With the next show of the contest taking place tomorrow in Stockholm on the 9th of March.
The show started with the final contestants covering last year’s winning entry “Tattoo” and ended with Loreen appearing on stage to get awarded with the Hall of Fame award. This year’s Hall of Fame is now complete when the entire team behind the winning entry “Tattoo“ joined – Loreen and the entire songwriting team. In addition to Loreen herself, Jimmy “Joker” Thörnfeldt, Jimmy Jansson, Loreen, Moa Carlebecker/Cazzi Opeia, Peter Boström and Thomas G:son were rewarded.
The numbers
- “When I’m Gone“ – Maria Sur
Maria did an amazing show today, more laser beams and more laser tracking sensors on the LED backdrop and the LED strip perimetrically at the stadium. Great job! Amazing vocals and also awed us with the intro video where she spoke entirely in Swedish! Bra jobbat!

- “Back To My Roots” – Jay Smith’
Well this is the upgraded version of Jay giving zero f*s about this contest. Nice radio-friendly song, but nothing more.

- “Awful Liar“ – Lisa Ajax
Lisa had an amazing performance, she now had both dancers unlike her first rehearsals. Pristine voice.

- “Heroes Are Calling“ – Smash Into Pieces
As the days go by, their song makes not much of a difference to me. I preferred their song last year.

- “Give My Heart A Break” – Cazzi Opeia
Cazzi is such a feel-good song! Makes me happy even on a day I am down low. The colours, the glow, the fluff! Love it all! Her voice? Pitch-perfect!

- “It’s Not Easy to Write a Love Song” – Dotter
Dotter still has problems from two weeks ago and this has implications to her voice! Such a shame! Visually it is so good.

- “Que Sera” – Medina
That was an EARTHQUAKE! I can’t describe anything more! Love it!

- “Dragon“ – Liamoo
So much fire, we could all feel the heat! Best vocals of the bunch I think, even better than the studio version. Great vocals by LIAMOO and his lead dub!

- “Effortless“ – Jacqline
She ate! Looks like a music video up on stage! I think the international juries will absolutely love her! She was unwell, but does a great job at the moment! Runner-up of Idol 2021 is here and now is her moment to shine!

- “Happy That You Found Me” – Danny Saucedo
Danny changed to a black mesh top and a leather pair of trousers. Staging colours changed, lighting has changed, made it a bit more dark, more spiritual. I like it more.
