God, you SAY she's the Swedish Avril Rich, but at least Avril isn't in her thirties yet! :D

True. Harlot added 30 years between her nine year participation gap :o

Sanna is 29? I thought she was older than that...

 

She does have a whiff of old Swedish schlager bag to her, the years of continued failure must have got to her, bless her. Maybe she spent too much time with Harlot in 2008 and it rubbed off on her...(I still would though - Sanna, not Harlot).

Bless her!

 

I love how much time is spent on Sanna's hair during the whole thing! She comes across so well in this documentary, she seems like such a genuinely nice, humble person who's finally achieved their ultimate aim in life.

HA!

 

Ace's face when she gets through is definitely one of my favourite moments of the year, she, like us, thought she was destined for like 7th/8th. Amazing :wub:

Rewatching some of the MF results from the last 10 years, am I right in thinking that under the new proportional voting system both Nanne and Caroline Af Ugglas would have won!?

Nanne would've, I haven't done the calculations but there's a chance Måns may have done in 2009.

Yep, would've been Mans. The voting was narrow enough in 2009 that his huge lead in the juries wouldn't have been overtaken by Caroline, as she wasn't that far ahead on votes.

And if you want to see the order that would've been announced on the night...

Hilariously bad for Alla - but imagine how much worse that would've been for Molly! And it says it all about how badly that bottom four did on votes that even with MORE points (516 rather than 473, because there were 11 songs and because there were international AND regional juries that year) they still all got fewer/about the same points as Natural did this year on the public vote!

 

Still, imagine how NAILBITING those last two would've been. Mans would've been cacking it! I imagine that victory wouldn't have gone down too well considering he was only fifth with the public too...

2010 would've been QUITE THE THRILL too (although the result doesn't change)

However, things get MUCH more exciting if you get rid of the regional juries and just multiply the international jury vote as if there were 11 of them rather than just 6 (a bit extrapolate-y but given how much the regional juries went WILD for Anna compared with the studied indifference from the international juries, probably fairly reflective...):

EAT Y'HEART OUT SAN

Poor Anna, the reason that regional juries ceased to exist in MF! I do enjoy a bit of This Is My Life but Keep On Walking really was the blindingly obvious choice.

 

Wow at the 2009 result. That was the one I saw live and when Mans trawled in 5th in the televote there were gasps all round, as everybody had resigned themselves to him winning it. I wonder why it was such jury catnip? I'm pretty sure it would have only been a mid-table finisher in Eurovision anyway. I still don't get why Agnes had such little support, Love Love Love is a great disco song. And the less said about Sofia the better, I've never seen an arena full of thousands of people go so quiet.

 

I rewatched last year's results too and had forgotten how badly the international juries marked Yohio! Talk about working well together to ensure a crap song doesn't win! :D

That was actually released a couple of days before the Melodifestivalen final, but it's a nice video! :D
Been getting my mum into some old MF tracks because she took to Undo this year and loved Popular :lol: She likes Kom, Begging, I'm In Love, Empty Room and Cara mia especially, doing my bit to spread the gospel :P
