Anyone have some examples of songs were sent to Melodifestivalen, got rejected, and then went on to compete in other countries' National Finals (in some cases even won)?
Wasn't Michael Rice a MF reject? (but FINE for the UK apparently)
I always felt that Storm by thingy from Estonia, Victor von Doom, was that just a MF off cut?

Not Melfest but wasn’t Nobody But You originally offered to the UK?
There was something in a Belarusian selection one year that was nipped across to Poland (where it also failed).A bit OT - but I was wondering whether a song that fails to be selected in a national competition could be selected by another country to represent them? Is that allowed? Has it happened?

There was a weird phase in the late 00s where a lot of them ended up in Romania and Poland even with the original Swedish singers still performing.
I think Wolves Of The Sea was also originally sent to MF.
I always wondered if this was a MF reject with Kempe behind it:
Denmark Chanee & N'Evergreen - Moment Like This
These were rejects originally from memory
If only there was some clue that's the case.Tina & Rene - Mi Amore (written allegedly on the same day as In A Moment Like This)
