Live from Friends Arena in Stockholm, Robin Bengtsson was crowned the winner of Melodifestivalen 2017. He will represent his nation at Eurovision in May with the song, “I Can’t Go On.”

Earlier in the week, betting odds had placed Robin in fourth. But at the final, the international jury awarded “I Can’t Go On” the highest score, giving him the advantage. The rest of the points are awarded by Swedish televote; Robin came in third place, behind Nano and Wiktoria, but but he managed to stay in the lead.

The final results:

Robin Bengtsson - 146 points

Nano - 133 points

Jon Henrik Fjällgren feat. Aninia - 105 points

Mariette - 99 points

Benjamin Ingrosso - 88 points

Wiktoria - 80 points

Ace Wilder - 67 points

Boris René - 66 points

Lisa Ajax - 46 points

Anton Hagman - 43 points

FO&O - 41 points

Owe Thörnqvist - 33 points

Flocked by his strutting, swerving back-up dancers, Robin’s performance really stood out at Melodifestivalen, and it will likely be a big hit at Eurovision. Congrats to Robin Bengtsson, and thank you, Sweden, for another entertaining year of Melodifestivalen!
