No, well. I wonder if Loreen will do good in eurovision, but then I also wonder about Danny. I think Eric Saade is better then Danny..

In my opinion Danny's proposal is already seen... a young boy with a catchy tune and some dancers... a bit old-fashioned, isn't? Well, the lights effects from his perfomance are ok, but not enough. Europe will compare him to Saade I guess.

On the other hand, Loreen amazed me: her stage presence, her great voice, the original way she moves/dances, and only with her presence and one dancer she filled the stage... also the song is much better than Amazing. The chorus is epic!

I couldn't agree with you more.Loreen is one of the singers that you don't afraid of her to sing live.Honestly i found hardly differences between her live performance and the studio version.O f course her stage performance is very strong too and it's a new proposal by Sweden.

+1. I thought it was playback the 1st time I saw her perfomance... she's just perfect by singing live.

Loreen really deserves the victory indeed!

Loreen won with Euphoria! She will represent Sweden in Baku this year!

The best choice for Sweden this year, one of the best eurovision songs in my opinion.Good luck Lorren, good luck Sweden.You deserve the victory definitely

Right song won!
I just hope it will go well in ESC!

Yeah she deserved to win! She was my fav together with David
Even though I feel a little sry for Danny to place second two years in a row
I also hope she'll do really well in ESC!

Over two million votes!

Did you think we took the right song last year too?

Ι think you did

2011 I wanted "Oh my god" (The Moniker) to win, if I don't remember totally wrong.

i think this song is been overated around the europe. yes, it's good but not as good as everyone make it sound. anyway, great choice

Well, are you aware that this will win this year's ESC, aren't you?

me neither. we'll see. France and Hungary last year was going to win too and then ...

I wanted Eric or Danny to win last year so I believe we sent the right song last year
This year I wanted David, Loreen or Danny so for me it's the right decision again

btw the international juries voted waaay better than the swedish ppl....
omg it's almost like I don't want to be swedish sometimes......

I think Loreen will do amazing but u never know with ESC

Well, I didn't follow the songs/contestants from last year edition. But I do think Eric is a great perfomer, I'm not a fan, but some of her songs are ok with nice tune and rythm, well produced, etc. So I can easily see Eric having a European launching... he has an international feeling so in terms of export you took a right decision. But I still think Popular is an average song, and it "smells" (like we say in Spain ) too much to Eurovision kind of song.

I'm rooting for Loreen & Pastora Soler

I love that song! I really hope it wins!!

Tv advert from Spanish TV about the Gossip Girl 3d season, they play Euphoria



BTW, she's doing amazingly well in the itunes charts:

Sweden #1

Finland #1

Norway #3

Denmark #47

She is the most played song on Spotify, in the world.
So Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland probably listen to the song very much!

So they will give 12 points to her for sure

My maternal grandparents are montenegrin but they live in Dubrovnik since a couple of years back =)
I use to live in Montengro but right now I live in London =)
My parents still have the house in Podgorica though =)

She said she would change her stage choreography a little. What do you think she can change in it?

this is also one of my favorite entries, really powerful song ^^

There is ten countries that have atleast one Swede that have composed the song. Isn't that pretty many!
