A missed opportunity: if A*Teens had won #Melodifestivalen, you would have had a sequence of a solo winner in 2023, a duo in 2024, a trio in 2025 and a quartet in 2026. Ruined now.

As one thing I’ve learned thanks to #melfest this year, and should have known after a lot of other ones, Sweden has the third largest Chilean diaspora in the world.

this man has the cheapest curly mullet wig available on amazon and a dream, and I love that for him. -B #melfest

It's very funny to me that one of the A-Teens is on leave from acting as Managing Director of a company that makes flame-retardent polymers. -B #melfest
