In advance, Anis Don Demina was the artist most people were convinced would move on. And of course he beat Ellen Benediktson & Simon Peyron in this duel. He offered a huge victory in the stage.

- I've been through a lot. But this was the worst. I was dying slowly, he says afterwards about the long wait before the results came.

Then the guys went on to win over the girls this Melodifestival night. Paul Rey beat Malou Prytz and Felix Sandman won as expected over Frida Öhrn. In the last duel, Mendez won the feat Alvaro Estrella over the Boys.

- I was thinking wow what I'm happy with having come here. What happens it happens. That it led to me getting to the final, it makes me even more grateful, says Paul Ray.

- This is killing my nerves. That is sick. But I have to say to Sweden that I thank this country. I've got my family, my music, I've learned everything here, says Mendez.

With that, the entire starting field is ready for this year's Melodifestival final.
