You'd almost have thought it was three brothers who had moved on after Marcus and Martinus and Paul Rey were photographed after the promotion in their almost identical stage outfits.
- We are a little speechless right now, say the twins Marcus and Martinus after advancing to the final.

The former child stars have previously told how they chose to compete in the Swedish Melodifestivalen instead of the Norwegian one because they now work mostly in Sweden.

That's all that matters, says Melanie Wehbe in the after talk.
In addition to the contributions that went on, the Casanovas also competed with "Så kommen könnenna back", Laurell with "Sober" and Ida-Love with "Let the whole town see".
