Tonight, it is time for Sweden’s big national selection for Eurovision 2016 to begin with the first of six shows!
Only six acts will compete tonight after Anna Book’s shock disqualification on Thursday. From the six remaining songs, two will be going straight to the final, while other two will go to the second chance round “Andra Chansen”. The voting will consist of two phases. Firstly, the public will vote, and the song with the least amount of votes will be eliminated. Then, the public will vote once again for the five remaining songs to decide who will go through to the final, who will go to “Andra Chansen” and who will have to leave the competition. The show will be hosted by Gina Dirawi and Petra Mede.
Tonight’s line up:
- Samir & Viktor – Bada Nakna
- Pernilla Andersson – Mitt Guld
- Mimi Werner – Ain’t No Good
- Albin & Mattias – Rik
- Robin Bengtsson – Constellation Prize
- Ace Wilder – Don’t Worry
Even though Anna Book is not participating in the show anymore, she will still get to perform her entry Himmel För Två as an interval act.
