13. ABBA undoubtedly helped, I guess it inspired the country into seeing that Swedes can have huge international success if they're good enough. True, and I love all four of The Worrying Kind, Hero, La Voix and This Is My Life and have no idea why they ALL did so badly...it's not like the UK where I sometimes like our entries as guilty pleasures but you can definitely see why they flop :lol:

17. Ah right, I'm sure I'll join one day...

60. I can't remember either to be honest, I wrote them all down independent from the entries, and then shuffled them to post, and now I can't remember which one matches which :lol:

 

13 - Sometimes I was expecting the UK to do better, but this year I definitely knew we were going to fail. I can see why Hero flopped, poor presentation and it was quite dated, but yeah the other three should have done well.

Nice chart!

 

Thanks for posting :D

13 - Sometimes I was expecting the UK to do better, but this year I definitely knew we were going to fail. I can see why Hero flopped, poor presentation and it was quite dated, but yeah the other three should have done well.

 

Yeah I guess Hero was a bit out of vogue come 2008, and the presentation was truly awful. I'll never get how Malena fell from 4th in the semi to 21st in the final though :mellow:

Hey :dance:

Nice chart.. Shame I know so little, but I shall check some out. Any recommendations?

 

Thanks for posting :D

 

Hanna Lindblad's Manipulated might be up your street, not sure if you'll like any of the others tbh, your tastes seem a bit more geared towards urban-pop of which there isn't much in my chart :lol: :(

Very bizarre! Was it the juries that scuppered her chances? :unsure:

To an extent but she still would have been 15th on televotes alone, where her semi result suggested that she'd come mid-low top ten in the final...

Hmm, that is very strange. Maybe it didn't appeal to casual viewers who didn't watch the semi final as much? :unsure:
