It’s that time of year where we are desperate for our next Eurovision fix. And what better way to cope with those winter blues than to ponder which artists would be fantastic picks for their countries at Eurovision? Over the past few weeks, we have been sharing our top wishlist pick for various countries at the Eurovision Song Contest.
The greatest thing about our wishlist is that there’s no rules. No “they would never do Eurovision!” No “but that wouldn’t be possible because…”. Not even a “but that country hasn’t participated in x amount of years.”
Welcome to the Wiwi Wishlist, where we fantasize about the perfect contest line-up.
Wiwi Wishlist: Felicia for Sweden
Felicia is known to most Swedes as the former Fröken Snusk, the persona who performed in a balaclava on hits like “Rid mig som en dalahäst.” She caught the eye of the Eurovision community with “Unga & fria”, a banger she entered into Melodifestivalen 2024. The masked legend was instantly beloved by fans, with her attention-grabbing aesthetic from the Mello reveal day. She went on to release her entry, and fans had hope of a Swedish-language entry making it through to Eurovision.
Sadly, she just missed out on a spot in the final through the new rules which replaced Andra Chasen (the former second chance round). Many felt hard-done-by with this, and the song became a huge cult classic in the community.
Felicia later went on to win Sweden’s version of The Masked Singer the same year. She signed with Warner Music Sweden ahead of her relaunch. At a PR event in Stockholm on 18 September 2025 she introduced herself under her real name, and her first single as Felicia, “Black Widow” (released 19 September 2025), signals a new artistic direction.
To reach Eurovision she would first need to win Melodifestivalen, possibly with an English-language banger matching her new music she’s been releasing lately — and with the right song, why not?

Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest
As arguably one of the most iconic countries in modern Eurovision, Sweden needs no introduction. Their national final Melodifestivalen is one of (if not the) most watched shows by Eurofans every single year. Sweden’s broadcaster SVT manages to pack out arenas for every heat, and Swedes go nuts for the spectacle.
All this Mello excellence leads to inevitably high results in the Eurovision Song Contest. If Sweden aren’t in the Top 5, it’s considered an ‘off’ year. They’ve had 3 wins of the coveted Eurovision trophies in the past 12 years, and two of those are Loreen alone (with ‘Euphoria’ in 2012, and ‘Tattoo’ in 2023).
One thing Sweden struggled with in this time is selecting a song in the Swedish language, having not sent one since 1998. That was until this year, when parody-trio KAJ defeated the odds in spectacular fashion by taking the Songbird trophy with their entry “Bara Bada Bastu”. The sauna-themed banger started life bottom of the odds for Melodifestivalen, but quickly caught fire domestically, and abroad with Eurovision fans online.
The group went on to finish 4th in Basel, Switzerland. Fans are still obsessed with them, and they’ve gone on to continue having huge success in Scandinavia and beyond. This is impressive, considering all their music is in the Swedish language.
The fandom can expect more excellence from Sweden’s national final soon. We shall know more about who is going to be vying for the ticket to Vienna to represent Sweden on Decemebr 2nd. Melodifestivalen will be revealing the artists taking part in the 2026 edition, so it’s time to get excited!
Who would you love to see on the Melodifestivalen 2026 line-up? Would you like to see Felicia on the list? Have you still got “Unga & Fria” in your head from nearly 2 years ago, like we do? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
