There's still Hanna Ferm to come too. She was very hungry for it last time, so I expect something competitive.
Isn't the international jury just Björkman? I mean, when the horrible Spanish Head of Delegation gave the votes in 2013, he was just reading a paper they gave him in the backstage.Am I right in thinking the MF final international juries have essentially HARPOONED all female contestants from the past few years, aside from Hannah Ferm’s duet last year
Yep. It's (somehow) possible to overstate how much Sweden "HATES!!!!" women. As I Lay Me Down would've almost certainly won the public televote in 2017 had the juries not left Wiktoria for dead before the last round of televoting.Am I right in thinking the MF final international juries have essentially HARPOONED all female contestants from the past few years, aside from Hannah Ferm’s duet last year
Ace Wilder?The juries do unaccountably seem to routinely loathe Wiktoria.
Other than her and Mariette, there haven't really been a lot of female artists who've qualified with genuinely competitive stuff.
She came close to winning the jury vote with Don't Worry! And well, Frans left basically EVERYONE for dead in the public vote that year (only 14 points between 2nd and 11th!)Ace Wilder?
Oh wow Don’t Worry I forgot it even existed
In retrospect the stage concept was just TOO BIG for the song, it felt like Ace was only actually on stage for about half the song
