Wildcards

[edit]

Unlike past years, where all Melodifestivalen participants were chosen by a selection jury, in 2004, four out of the 32 participants were selected directly by the contest's producers, in order to increase musical and artistic breadth. Each artist, called "wildcard", participated in a different heat. The wildcards were the following:[2]

Artist Song Heat
Niklas Andersson "Tro på mig" Heat 1
E-Type "Paradise" Heat 2
Hanson, Carson & Malmkvist "C'est la vie" Heat 3
Lena Philipsson "Det gör ont" Heat 4
