🎤 Remembering Lisa Miskovsky Best to Come: A Melodifestivalen Moment Fans Still Talk About
In Melodifestivalen 2022, Swedish singer-songwriter Lisa Miskovsky returned to the big stage after ten years away from the competition with her empowering song Best to Come. The song — co-written by Lisa and David Lindgren Zacharias — is all about resilience, hope and looking forward, themes she embraced especially after living through the pandemic and taking time away from the spotlight. 
After her third place finish in the third heat, Best to Come qualified for the semifinal. There, despite a strong performance and solid fan support, Lisa finished third again and was eliminated, just missing out on the chance to reach the Melodifestivalen final. 
Was There an Error in the Result?
Because of the way the voting system worked that year — with age-group televoting and phone voting combined — some viewers felt that the result didn’t reflect how Lisa had been performing throughout the night. Many wrote on social media that Best to Come was leading before the final age group was added, and speculated that a miscount or voting anomaly might have affected her semifinal placement. Some commentators even joked that point tallies were mixed up, though SVT publicly denied that any voting error had occurred and maintained that the official results were correct. 
Why Fans Want Her Back
To this day, there’s a strong group of fans — from commentators like Anders Bagge to people on social platforms — who think Lisa deserved a better outcome and hope she returns to Melodifestivalen in the future. Many felt Best to Come was one of the year’s most heartfelt and well-crafted entries, reflecting Lisa’s musical maturity and artistry. 
Lisa herself has always spoken with warmth about the Melodifestivalen experience, valuing big moments on stage as well as the chance to connect with different audiences — both young and old. Her career goes far beyond Mello, but her return reminded many fans how much they’d love to see her back on that stage again.
