Ok I got 3 out of 4. I didn’t see Jessica coming in so strong with the Swedish audience. Her Eurovision heritage with the band Fame in 2001 obviously has kept her in the Swedish minds.

Did Sweden get it right? Have we seen a winner of Melodifestivalen? Is there a Eurovision winner there? Let us know. Hope you enjoyed the night.
