Ninety minutes ago, the show for the Third Heat ofMelodifestivalen 2023, started off onSVTandSVT Play. And we are here to share the results of the night with you!
The two numbers that qualify directly to the finals areMarcus & MartinusandPaul Reywhich we will get to see perform their songs live, on the 11th of March, when the finals will take place at Friends Arena.
But how things developed during the night?
The show
Jesper Rönndahl and Farah Abadi are presenting Melodifestivalen 2023. The heats are following the touring concept again, after SVT had pulled back last year due to health restrictions in Sweden, with the finals being held at Friends Arena! With the next show of the contest onSaturday February the 25th,Melodifestivalen will take place in Malmö then Örnsköldsvik will follow and finally the final show in Stockholm on the 11th of March.
Dolly Style performed their 2019 entry “Habibi“, with Farah also joining with a colourful wig.

The numbers
Paul Rey – Royals
First up on stage, Paul Rey with his song “Royals”.
His song is a pop anthemic song, that doesn’t require any superb vocals, however, Paul delivers. He delivers voice, stage presence, some moves maybe and some fireworks in the process.
The staging is dark but features bright strobe lights and a led backdrop that shows words from the song lyrics, yellow rectangles, abstract art making Paul blend in with his jacket that is in black and white stripes. Dancers join him with a simple but powerful choreography.

Casanovas – Så kommer känslorna tillbaka
Next up, Casanovas with their song “Så kommer känslorna tillbaka”.
Their song is a typical Swedish schlager song, all five of them are on stage, each of them on a platform with spotlights all around. Vocally they’re all quite good I must admit.
Stagewise, there’s a backdrop video shown on the LED, initially shows their band name, reminding a Las Vegas sign in mainland US. The staging is nice and nostalgic of other times.

Melanie Wehbe – For The Show
Third on stage, it’s Melanie Wehbe with her song “For The Show”.
For the show is a mid-tempo power ballad, that you could easily listen to the radio, on your headphones while you’re on the move. Vocally she’s not that bad, but definitely could do much better. She pulled off the high note though, quite nicely and effortlessly.
Stage-wise, she is alone on stage, with a large light prop that at the end of her performance splits up into two pieces and the backdrop LED screen, showing octagon shapes, matching the prop. Quite simplistic but visually pleasing.

Nordman – Släpp alla sorger
Next up on stage, Nordman with their song “Släpp alla sorger”. Nordman have a powerful, pop, EDM with some folklore elements song, that reminds me of sound that I have listened in some Avicii songs. The song could have a crowd effect, but they are a bit static.
Regarding the staging, there’s a vulture at the back for starters, then there’s more birds, a scenery and more strobe lights and a green background.

Laurell – Sober
Now Laurell takes over the stage with her number, singing “Sober“.
After an SVT emergency meeting, the Canadian Laurel Barker had to change part of the lyrics of her song, so that she doesn’t mention a famous brand of vodka, as brands are not allowed to be promoted directly or indirectly by any of the performances.
Her signature Laurell Barker sound is now conquering the stage in Lidköping, with a nice uptempo and joyfull song, nice and spot-on vocals.
Stage-wise, there’s a galore of neon and colours, a video on the backdrop showing funky images, probably depicting how one feels when they’re high and delusional.
Photo: Alma Bengtsson / SVT
Ida-Lova – Låt hela stan se på
Next up on stage Ida-Lova with the song “Låt hela stan se på“!
Now that’s a ballad entirely in Swedish, but full of sentiment that she puts through her eyes. Vocally she is impeccable. Nice high note there Ida, she did it!
Regarding the staging, it’s super simple but aesthetically pleasing. Nothing much is going on, either than herself performing and a large piece of fabric hanging off the stage ceiling. Many strobe lights that give room to more lights as she proceeds to the song.
Photo: Alma Bengtsson / SVT
Marcus & Martinus – Air
Last (but sure not least), the worldwide known duo Marcus & Martinus with their song “Air”.
This song is for me like the air that I’m breathing! I LOVE IT! I WANT IT! The song is a pop EDM banger, that one could vibe all day and night long! Both the guys are great vocally, except one tiny part of improvised adlibs. But other than that, this number is pure PERFECTION!
Stage-wise, I think it is a hybrid of Eric Saade’s “Every Minute” and last year’s entry “Bluffin” by LIAMOO, but in blue. The lights play an important role and make it even more visually pleasing, while the twins follow a light choreography with some contemporary dance moves.

The general rehearsal of the Third Melodifestivalen 2023Heat has just started. We are happy to be watching it live, at
Sparbanken Arena in Lidköping, Sweden. We will be covering this rehearsal, describing in detail what is happening during the show, for you to follow the entire process.
This article is being updated in real-time, all you need to do is hit the refresh button on your browser and all the rest is on us!
We will keep you up to date with all the latest information and images off this semi-final rehearsal, allowing you to get a glimpse of what you will get to see tomorrowFebruary 18, at 20:00 CET, when you watch the actual show of the heat, on SVT and SVT Play.
The show
Jesper Rönndahl and Farah Abadi will present Melodifestivalen 2023. The heats are following the touring concept again, after SVT had pulled back last year due to health restrictions in Sweden, with the finals being held at Friends Arena! With the next show of the contest onSaturday February the 18th,Melodifestivalen will take place in Lidköping, then Malmö and Örnsköldsvik follow and finally the final show in Stockholm on the 11th of March.
Jesper and Farah are at the arena and everything is ready to begin! It’s time to face the music!
Initially they go through the direct finalists and the semi-finalists and then they show us this show’s contestants!
Dolly Style now perform their song “Habibi“, past Melodifestivalen entry, with Farah joining them with a colourful wig. So funny!
The numbers
Paul Rey – Royals
First up on stage, Paul Rey with his song “Royals”.
His song is a pop anthemic song, that doesn’t require any superb vocals, however, Paul delivers. He delivers voice, stage presence, some moves maybe and some fireworks in the process.
The staging is dark but features bright strobe lights and a led backdrop that shows words from the song lyrics, yellow rectangles, abstract art making Paul blend in with his jacket that is in black and white stripes. Dancers join him with a simple but powerful choreography.
According to my personal taste, this would be a song that I would have on my daily playlist. But would that qualify directly to the finals? I think it’s highly unlikely. He’s gonna be a semi-finalist or a NQ most likely.

Casanovas – Så kommer känslorna tillbaka
Next up, Casanovas with their song “Så kommer känslorna tillbaka”.
Their song is a typical Swedish schlager song, all five of them are on stage, each of them on a platform with spotlights all around. Vocally they’re all quite good I must admit.
Stagewise, there’s a backdrop video shown on the LED, initially shows their band name, reminding a Las Vegas sign in mainland US. The staging is nice and nostalgic of other times. However I don’t see this qualifying either to the finals or the semi-final show.

Melanie Wehbe – For The Show
Third on stage, it’s Melanie Wehbe with her song “For The Show”.
For the show is a mid-tempo power ballad, that you could easily listen to the radio, on your headphones while you’re on the move. Vocally she’s not that bad, but definitely could do much better. She pulled off the high note though, quite nicely and effortlessly.
Stage-wise, she is alone on stage, with a large light prop that at the end of her performance splits up into two pieces and the backdrop LED screen, showing octagon shapes, matching the prop. Quite simplistic but visually pleasing.
Would she now qualify? Not to the finals, but maybe to the semi? Who knows!

Nordman – Släpp alla sorger
Next up on stage, Nordman with their song “Släpp alla sorger”. Nordman have a powerful, pop, EDM with some folklore elements song, that reminds me of sound that I have listened in some Avicii songs. The song could have a crowd effect, but they are a bit static.
Regarding the staging, there’s a vulture at the back for starters, then there’s more birds, a scenery and more strobe lights and a green background. As a whole, this performance looks powerful and gives me DTF vibes. Let’s see.

Laurell – Sober
Now Laurell takes over the stage with her number, singing “Sober“.
After an SVT emergency meeting, the Canadian Laurel Barker had to change part of the lyrics of her song, so that she doesn’t mention a famous brand of vodka, as brands are not allowed to be promoted directly or indirectly by any of the performances.

Stage-wise, there’s a galore of neon and colours, a video on the backdrop showing funky images, probably depicting how one feels when they’re high and delusional.
Now would she qualify? Sadly, I don’t think so. Next time, cause there will be a next time. Once you pop, you can’t stop with mello. 😉

Ida-Lova – Låt hela stan se på
Next up on stage Ida-Lova with the song “Låt hela stan se på“!
Now that’s a ballad entirely in Swedish, but full of sentiment that she puts through her eyes. Vocally she is impeccable. Nice high note there Ida, she did it!
Regarding the staging, it’s super simple but aesthetically pleasing. Nothing much is going on, either than herself performing and a large piece of fabric hanging off the stage ceiling. Many strobe lights that give room to more lights as she proceeds to the song.
Maybe this one qualifies to the semi-final, the crowd really enjoyed it and gave it a big round of applause.

Marcus & Martinus – Air
Last (but sure not least), the worldwide known duo Marcus & Martinus with their song “Air”.
This song is for me like the air that I’m breathing! I LOVE IT! I WANT IT! The song is a pop EDM banger, that one could vibe all day and night long! Both the guys are great vocally, except one tiny part of improvised adlibs. But other than that, this number is pure PERFECTION!
Stage-wise, I think it is a hybrid of Eric Saade’s “Every Minute” and last year’s entry “Bluffin” by LIAMOO, but in blue. The lights play an important role and make it even more visually pleasing, while the twins follow a light choreography with some contemporary dance moves.
This is definitely a DTF number! If this doesn’t qualify to the finals, it would be very very strange! A big contender for the win (at least till next heat in Malmö, when Loreen participates).
Alma Bengtsson / SVT
After all the performances are complete, the presenters interview the contestants and after that there’s a recap of all the numbers of the show, as usual. Afro-Dite were the performers before the announcement of the direct finalist!
The first voting round
The virtual direct qualifier to the finals is: Casanovas – Så kommer känslorna tillbaka
Second voting round
Virtual winner of the age-band 3-9 years old is: Nordman – Släpp alla sorger
Virtual winner of the age-band 10-15 years old is: Marcus & Martinus – Air
Virtual winner of the age-band 16-29 years old is: Paul Rey – Royals
Virtual winner of the age-band 30-44 years old is: Melanie Wehbe – For The Show

Virtual winner of the age-band 60-74 years old is: Nordman – Släpp alla sorger
Virtual winner of the age-band 75+ years old is: Marcus & Martinus – Air
Virtual winner of the televoting is: Paul Rey – Royals
A prediction
I believe that Marcus & Martinus andNordman will directly qualify to the finals. For the semi-final qualifiers, it will probably be Paul Rey, Melanie Wehbe or Ida-Lova (these are in random order). There’s only one day left, we’re less than 24 hours away from the actual show!
Which two of today’s competing artists do you think will be the direct qualifiers to the finals, on the 11th of March?

Paul Rey – Royals (Writers: Dino Medanhodzic, Jimmy “Joker” Thörnfeldt, LIAMOO, Paul Rey)
The city sleepsIt’s calling for me
I come alive in the nighttime
Out in the streets
For centuries
We’ve been down on our knees
But together we’ll rise up
Just wait and see
Oooh
Flashes in the sky
Can you see it?
Thunder in the night
Can you feel it?
Coming for the crown
Cause I believe
(I believe)
We can be royals
We can be legends
If I was king for a day
I would treat you royally
We can be royals
We can be rebels
We can go anywhere in the world
You and me

We can be
Royals! Royals!
We can be
Royals! Royals!
We can go anywhere in the world
You and me
Royals! Royals!
Finally free
World at my feet
I’ll climb any mountain
I’ll cross any sea
Oooh
Flashes in the sky
Can you see it?
Thunder in the night
Can you feel it?
Coming for the crown
Cause I believe
(I believe)
We can be royals
We can be legends
If I was king for a day
I would treat you royally
We can be royals
We can be rebels

Casanovas – Så kommer känslorna tillbaka (Writers: Henrik Sethsson, Mikael Karlsson)
Du vannMen det va nog ganska längesen
Jag kommer inte ihåg
Alla ord vi sa till varandra en gång
Men du hann
Lämna spår bakom dig i min själ
Som finns där någonstans
Oh jag undrar om jag kommer i hamn
Dag efter dag
Jag blir säkrare nu
Det måste väl finnas nån annan än du
Jag lever nu
Men så kommer känslorna tillbaka
Innan jag har hunnit läka sår
Jag vill bara stanna här o vara
Nära dig, om jag får
Ingen annan fångar när jag faller
Ingen annan frågar hur jag mår
Livet blir som stjärnor och kristaller
Vet att ingen kan förstå
Den jag va
Har fått lämna plats för en charad
För när du går förbi
Så står jag där med ångest igen
Dag efter dag
Jag blir säkrare nu
Det måste väl finnas nån annan än du
Jag lever nu
Men så kommer känslorna tillbaka
Innan jag har hunnit läka sår
Jag vill bara stanna här och vara
Nära dig, om jag får
Ingen annan fångar när jag faller
Ingen annan frågar hur jag mår
Livet blir som stjärnor och kristaller
Vet att ingen kan förstå
Vill ha kvar
Alla stunderna som var
När du går ifrån mig sakta
Är det kärleken du tar
Men så kommer känslorna tillbaka
Innan jag har hunnit läka sår
Jag vill bara stanna här och vara
Nära dig, om jag får
Ingen annan fångar när jag faller
Ingen annan frågar hur jag mår
Livet blir som stjärnor och kristaller
Vet att ingen kan förstå
Livet blir som stjärnor och kristaller
Vet att ingen kan förstå
Men så kommer känslorna tillbaka
Melanie Wehbe – For The Show (Writers: David Lindgren Zacharias, Herman Gardarfve, Melanie Wehbe)
Too many times awake in my bedMillions of thoughts are eating my head
Let go
Just let go
All of my life I’ve been trying to fit in
No matter what I wasn’t able to win
I know
I know
Is this what you wanted?
Careful where you go
Look what we are
doing, doing, doing
Just for the show
Barefoot, poor and broken
In your heart you know
Look what we are
doing, doing, doing
Just for the show
You shouldn’t be mad of the mirror you see
Nobody’s perfect that’s perfection to me
Let go
Just let go
Enough is enough so
It’s time we’re letting our colors glow
Cause I know
Yeah I know
Is this what you wanted?
Careful where you go
Look what we are
doing, doing, doing
Just for the show
Barefoot, poor and broken
In your heart you know
Look what we are
doing, doing, doing
Just for the show
Only you know (doing, doing, doing oh)
Only you know (doing, doing oh)
When to let go (doing, doing, doing oh)
When to let go (doing, doing)
Is this what you wanted?
Careful where you go
Look what we are
doing, doing, doing
Just for the show
Is this what you wanted?
Careful where you go
Look what we are
doing, doing, doing
Just for the show
Barefoot, poor and broken
In your heart you know
Look what we are
doing, doing, doing
Just for the show
Only you know (doing, doing, doing oh)
Only you know (doing, doing oh)
When to let go (doing, doing, doing oh)
When to let go (doing, doing)
Is this what you wanted?
Nordman – Släpp alla sorger (Writers: Jimmy Jansson, Thomas G:son)
Jag gick vilse på min vägJag trodde jag skulle gå under
Så många minor på min färd
Men jag står kvar ändå
Finns ingenting jag
Ångrar, ångrar
Finns mycket mer att
Fånga, fånga
Så, släpp alla sorger
Vi går vidare
Låt det vackra va’ det som gör dig svag
Ja, släpp alla sorger
Vi går vidare
Jag lovar dig, från och med idag
Finns inga sorger kvar
Allt jag gjorde gick så fel
Allting brast och jag gick sönder
Men jag hitta’ dig och jag blev hel
Nu står jag här ändå
Finns ingenting jag
Ångrar, ångrar
Finns mycket mer att
Fånga, fånga
Så, släpp alla sorger
Vi går vidare
Låt det vackra va’ det som gör dig svag
Ja, släpp alla sorger
Vi går vidare
Jag lovar dig, från och med idag
Finns inga sorger kvar
Finns inga sorger kvar
Dimmorna har skingrats
På vägen där jag går
Vill inte dit igen
Aldrig tillbaks igen
Så, släpp alla sorger
Vi går vidare
Låt det vackra va’ det som gör dig svag
Ja, släpp alla sorger
Vi går vidare
Jag lovar dig, från och med idag
Släpp alla sorger
Vi går vidare
Låt det vackra va’ det som gör dig svag
Ja, släpp alla sorger

Laurell – Sober (Writers: Anderz Wrethov, Andreas Stone Johansson, Laurell Barker, Thomas Stengaard)
Work 2 jobs: 9 to 55 to 10 then I close my eyes
And realize
Oh my god I need a life
Friday comes switching gear
In a club where I just can’t hear
Then you appear
With your smoky atmosphere
I was bouncin’ with my homies
Twistin’ up the rollies
Linin’ up the grey goose yeah
I ain’t even started drinkin’
I’m already trippin’
On ya
I’m la la lightin’ up here like
I’m gonna go all night
Floatin’ on champagne skies
I’m hi-hi-high
when I’m sober
Feel so fly
No gummy got that vibe
Oh you the reason why
I’m hi-hi-high
when I’m sober
High when I’m sober
I’m hi-igh
When I’m sober
Feel so fly
No gummy got that vibe
Oh you the reason why
I’m hi-hi-high
when I’m sober
Sippin’ on all that love
Thirsty but I don’t need no drug
You got a buzz
And I – and I can’t get enough
Sign me up, double A
Goin’ straight edge baby you make me
Hallucinate
Nah the hooch can’t top ya babe
I was bouncin’ with my homies
Twistin’ up the rollies
Linin’ up the grey goose yeah
I ain’t even started drinkin’
I’m already trippin’
On ya
I’m la la lightin’ up here like
I’m gonna go all night
Floatin’ on champagne skies
I’m hi-hi-high when I’m sober
Feel so fly
No gummy got that vibe
Oh you the reason why
I’m hi-hi-high when I’m sober
High when I’m sober
I’m hi-igh
When I’m sober
Feel so fly
No gummy got that vibe
Oh you the reason why
I’m hi-hi-high when I’m sober
Sober, sober
(You get me high)
When I’m sober, sober
(You get me so high)
Sober, sober
(Oh-oh you get me so high when I’m sober)
I’m la la lightin’ up here like
I’m gonna go all night
Floatin’ on champagne skies
I’m la la lightin’ up here like
I’m gonna go all night
Floatin’ on champagne skies
I’m hi-hi-high when I’m sober
Feel so fly
No gummy got that vibe
Oh you the reason why
I’m hi-hi-high when I’m sober
Sober, sober
(You get me high)
Oh you the reason why
I’m hi-hi-high when I’m sober
Ida-Lova – Låt hela stan se på (Writers: Andreas ”Giri” Lindbergh, Ida-Lova Lind, Joy Deb, Linnea Deb)
Oo-o-o-o-o-o-ohOo-o-o-o-o-o-oh
Alla frågar vem man är
Är det någon ens som vet
Kanske du är lost som jag
Kan vi inte vara dom barn vi är idag
En sorglös kväll på Mosebacke Torg
Helt utan krav
Ett öppet hav
Vi släpper allt vi river ner vår borg
Stannar kvar
Litet tag
Hela staden lyser för vår skull
Vi skriker allt vi kan
Nu räddar vi varann
Och vi ska dansa sönder all vår ångest
Göra det vi kan bäst
Vi lever så vi dör
Låt hela stan se på-å-å-å
Låt hela stan se på-å-å-å-å
I en djungel av betong
Kan ingen tysta ned vår sång
I en svartvit värld är vi all färg
Varmt och kallt
Vi är allt
Hela staden lyser för vår skull
Vi skriker allt vi kan
Nu räddar vi varann
Och vi ska dansa sönder all vår ångest
Göra det vi kan bäst
Vi lever så vi dör
Låt hela stan se på-å-å-å-å-å
Låt hela stan se på – aa-a-a-ah
Och vi ska dansa sönder all vår ångest
Göra det vi kan bäst
Vi lever så vi dör
Låt hela stan se på-å-å-å-å-å-å
Oo-o-o-o-o-o-oh
Marcus & Martinus – Air (Writers: Jimmy “Joker” Thörnfeldt, Joy Deb, Linnea Deb, Marcus Gunnarsen, Martinus Gunnarsen)
You’re just like the oceanI’ve got a million emotions
I’m breathing underwater
You’re love is deeper than no other
We go higher and higher
Keep flying and flying
We crash and we burn
We keep trying and trying
We’re higher and higher
Fight fire with fire
We’ll never give up
long as we got each other
Cuz when I’m with you I need no air
Take my breath away now I don’t care
I can breathe without air
I can breathe without air
Take my breath away now I don’t care
I can breathe without air
I can breathe without air
(You’re my, you’re my, you’re my air)
I’ll be there in a heartbeat
Cuz I love the way you love me
(Love me, love me, love me)
We go higher and higher
Fight fire with fire
We’ll never give up
long as we got each other
Cuz when I’m with you I need no air
(I don’t need no air)
Take my breath away now I don’t care
(I don’t even care)
Cuz when I’m with you I need no air
I can breathe without air
(You’re my, you’re my, you’re my air)
I can breathe without air
(You’re my, you’re my, you’re my air)
I can breathe without air
You’re just like the ocean
I’ve got a million emotions
I’m breathing underwater
I can breathe without air
