Loreen was the main topic of conversation before, during and will probably also be after part four.
She was a favorite among the record crowd and the gaming companies, her song was leaked, which in turn made headlines.
When it was time for the performance, the unthinkable happened.
In the middle of Loreen's contribution, someone tried to get on stage and her number had to be interrupted in the middle.
A few minutes later she was ready to drive again and had to start over.
The love song Tattoo and her powerful stage show make the contribution the absolute strongest of the evening.
That she goes directly to the final feels obvious.
After all, this is the woman who won the entire Eurovision Song Contest.
Smash into pieces stands out the most
In terms of genre, pop dominates;
uptempo, slightly more clubby pop, folk pop and nice ballads.
But the contribution that actually stands out is Smash into pieces "Six feet under", a song that feels refreshing for several reasons.
The drummer of the rock band The Apocalypse DJ is masked.
It is also the only rock song that participates in the Swedish Melodifestivalen this year.
"Six feet under" is about a past life crisis that singer Chris Adams went through and wants to inspire others through it.
So it's not yet another love song, which usually goes well in Mello, but it can be nice to hear other stories as well.
Extra fun that the group went on to the final because rock can work very well in the Eurovision Song Contest.
I am thinking above all of previous winners such as Måneskin and Lordi.
Malmö in focus
The fact that the final competition took place in Malmö was hard to miss, the city was in focus from the start.
The actor Per Larsson, known as Jesse from the Thin Blue Line, gave some kind of tribute speech to Malmö at the beginning.
Even Farah and Jesper's interludes and elements were connected to Skåne in a humorous and entertaining way.
The funniest was when Farah and Jesper got all 9,000 people in the arena to shout out the word "ass" at the same time.
Why did they do that?
Well, because apparently you don't say "rump" in Scanian, but you say "ass" and it's not considered an ugly word, we non-Scanians were taught.
Scanian humor is smarter, a little rougher and simply funnier, and that colored the content.
After all, the program is led by two people who have been awarded the "Skåning of the Year" award on different occasions.
