I think the thing with this song is that fans always constantly review how it got the result it did, looking for explanations that just aren’t there. It doesn’t need that much analysis - sometimes things just happen! I remember in the week prior to Eurovision seeing a bet for 450/1 that it would win with all of the possible 12 points and it’s one of the greatest regrets I have in life that I didn’t even just put a single pound on that, but at the time it just seemed slightly too far-fetched. So when it started happening I had a slight pang of regret, but there we are. I wasn’t a huge fan of people moaning afterwards that it was ‘boring’ to see Sweden get every single 12 - it became a game in itself to see whether any country would actually deviate from that!
My favourite shot of the whole evening is after the tenth 12 pointer in a row and they pan to the Green Room and Charlotte looks just absolutely overwhelmed - as all of us indeed were at home. My younger brother semi spoiled that night for me because at one point he said “surely masterpieces aren’t allowed to enter the competition?” and I just rolled my eyes The other thing that made me a bit sad (I say a bit, that night is still the greatest of my life) is seeing poor old Ani Lorak end on 0. A lesson there in stealing I suppose.
Truly the GREATEST SONG OF ALL TIME!
How on EARTH did a queen like Alexander Bard not WORSHIP at the fount of Hero?!
COME ON GIRLS, YOU KNOW THE WORDS!
Oooohaa-oompa-pa-dooaaa YEA-O. YEA-O.

Also Nadja Holm! She won the latest Idol, has gotten songs sent in for her and is very capable live.- Lillasyster (Honestly loves Mello and SVT doesn't have many strong rock acts to choose from)
- Wiktoria (Been to songwriting camps and the timing makes sense)
- Malou Prytz (Backed by a female empowerment consortium, also the youngest "MF veteran" with decent results)
- Liamoo (Got snubbed by SVT last year (!!!) as they opted for Danny, Saade, Ewald & Rey)
- Danny (The timing makes perfect sense for him)
- Robin Bengtsson (Most recent winners would be hard to persuade, not RB though)
- E-Type (Has sent in songs, his new record label will need a vehicle to relaunch his career)
- Omar Rudberg (Was in contention previous years, continues to release music and Young Royals gives him a push)
- Lina Hedlund (She's easy to work with and they don't have many of her caliber or genre to choose from. It's time for Lina to get recycled.)
Oh no the visuals for The Silence was just lazy.! at Julia Alfrida being left blank.
I can totally see Frida Green coming back at some point.
LITERALLY UNTRUEAt least he had more charisma on his first try than the goddess of success on her 52nd...
Would love it if it's a return to eight-song heats.Mello will go back on tour for 2022. Rumour has it there will also be changes to the general format and AC next year!
Actually scrap what I just said, the article wording confused the heck out of me. The actual format is:Indeed 4 are progressing just as before. This is the format:
Any news on a record deal?2. Tess Merkel ■
Tess Merkel has been immensely active at songwriting camps this year. She'd love to be involved with Mello some way or another and didn't make a fool out of herself last year. Don't be surprised if she does a duet with another ex Alcazar member.
