It’s a turbulent time at the bookmakers, and the Eurovision 2023 betting odds are beginning to alter. After months on the top spot with the bookies, reigning champions Ukraine have slipped down the rankings, and a new favourite has emerged. Sweden is now the bookmakers’ favourite to win Eurovision 2023.
The shift comes after former Eurovision champion Loreen debuted her new song “Tattoo”, which she will compete in the fourth heat Melodifestivalen — Sweden’s Eurovision pre-selection show — this weekend. Fans and bookies alike think the “Euphoria” singer could make a triumphant return and pick up another Swedish win, 12 years after she won the contest in Baku.
According to Oddschecker, Sweden is the most likely candidate to take home the Eurovision trophy this May. Ukraine’s Tvorchi follow closely behind in second. Finland, Norway, and the United Kingdom round out the top five most likely to take home the song contest crown.
Eurovision 2023 odds: Sweden favourite to win

Sweden is yet to decide its Eurovision act. But if fan reception is anything to go by, Loreen could be a lock-in for the Swedish ticket to Liverpool. The rehearsal snaps from inside the Malmö Arena show Loreen performing inches beneath a huge LED ceiling as she around in a sandstorm of beige and pink hues.

Elsewhere on the bookies radar is Finland — which is also yet to decide its Eurovision entry. They’ll choose their artist and song this weekend at the UMK 2023 final, as seven superstar acts vying to fly the Finnish flag in Merseyside this May.
Norway’s Alessandra also remains a contender. The Norwegian-Italian songstress went viral on TikTok after her Melodi Grand Prix victory, suggesting “Queen of Kings” could pick up a good televote score from the younger audience.
The betting market puts host country United Kingdom in fifth place, as Poland, Czechia, Spain, Israel and France fill out the top ten.

This is unreal….. Portugal is out??? One of the most beautiful songs? Loreen and Tattoo is a new version of euphoria!
If any other country would compete with the Loreen entry it would have win 100 %. But the jealousy against Sweden has no limits in this competition during the last couple of years so we wont win.
Yes everyone is jealous of a person singing through her nose… ???? It’s not even half as good as Euphoria, why go again?
I couldn’t agree more, and I can not understand why Sweden is the clear favourite to win, I really can’t
Loreen has to win the Swedish Competition first ! She can not be claimed the winner BEFORE the final . The final takes place on the 11:th of March in Stockholm and nobody knows yet who the winner will be !
Wow, with Käärijä (and his amazing performance) winning, Finland must have caught up. Between Finland and Sweden now.
Yes!
I am sorry, but there is no comparison between Käärijä and Loreen. He is just yelling most of the song. No melody whats so ever…until the end.
Yes
Yes it is just terrible. One of the worst entries I heard in a long time. And Finland usually has a solid level of rock songs. But it is popular. So it can win… but it is so bad.
I do not Finlands song or whatever it is. It is so edgy (not) it is catchy (cha cha cha cmon) is such a great voice (hardly even singing). Ukraine is not good either though and Finland will do very well even I hate it becaue I find it so boring. It is this kind of predictable chock value that some people fall for.
Do not like Loreen and do not understand why she is so eager to present the song at the contest. If her first victory made her successful in Sweden, why she wants to place instead of someone new, younger, for whom this placement can open the way to the top. It is not a fare competition when someone who had already win the Eurovision is competing with young artists….
The same I would say about any other winner who wants to place again at the contest
Well, this can at least be traced to Johnny Logan, who represented Ireland and secured two championships in 1980 and 1987.
Also, despite the influence of their fan base, if the performances are good enough, there are no reasons to assume younger artists cannot do better than the more experienced ones. (For example, Alexander Rybak only placed 15 in 2018.) Flo Rida has not brought many points to San Marino in 2021, either.
And honestly, it sounds ageism to assume younger artists cannot do better, or the experienced artists should be excluded.
Well said! 🙂
And Jhonny Logan wrote the song for Linda Msrtin 1984 and -92.
True can’t work got come back get try win again I hate her
Hate her? Man you have way to easy to get to strong emotions. Calm down drink some tea and take a deep breath.
What are you talking about.
Tattoo depends too much on the staging and the comparisons with Euphoria will be there and cause chaos in her campaign for the Melfest (and ESC if she wins).
Poland
Czech
Sweden or
Win eurovision 2023
Tattoo sounds too derivative of The Winner Takes It All for my liking
Well it’s a change from Lovers On The Sun and Waterloo/Take Me To Your Heaven I guess
Wow it does not.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Dkkk7GZQoec&noapp=1#bottom-sheet
People need to relax, everything can change, a lot of songs haven’t been revealed yet, I understand the hype but like I said everything can change. Let’s not forget that staging is also an important thing in Eurovision, many countries can surprise us.
Queen Loreen ate and left no crumps! There’s no way she won’t win the whole thing!
You just wait…
same old brainwashing propaganda every single year …. SOD your polls
I’ve heard and seen Tatoo performance and I think it’s beautiful and very atmospheric. The lightings are gorgeous, on TV screen it will be very nice even if I still don’t really understand the concept, it’s very artsy, some lighting reminds me of her statements performance. The song is nice very Loreen, I love when it builds, her voice is nice, I prefer the building verses rather than the chorus but it’s still nice, the talking part I’m not into it, the end is not enough memorable imo but I can see the appeal totally mainly in Loreen’s fans because… Read more »
And when she sings, her emotions are all in. A true artist. Whatever people think about the song I think her emotions and delivery is full on and that will take her far.
I hope it’s just the low quality of the leaked rehearsals, but the full song sounds quite underwhelming to me – especially the part after the 1 minute snippet is not what I expected…
I’ve watched it too and I think on TV with the good sound it will be better, you can’t really heard the beat of the song in this leaked vid. But her voice is nice, I admit the end feels a bit underwhelming but nothing can be 100% perfect for everybody, let’s see and hear this on TV, I keep a good feeling about it.
The average Wiwibloggs user’s biggest fears:
You can add if an act is liked overall, too much for their taste, and moreover if it’s not their country, they will come here and say “I don’t get the hype” and will try to discredit it as much as they can …classical. They can’t stand somebody or a country getting too much love, it’s too much for them, so they will systematically find something bad to say about this act, as if suddenly people would stop loving it because of that, it has the opposite impact, people will love it more….the day they will understand it’s so useless,… Read more »
Literally!!!! All the acts that the fans love are always looked down upon people in this website, and they’ll try to make even the smallest flaw of a song some massive critique.
I don’t know why but I have a feeling that Finland will choose Kuumaa tomorrow.
Everyone’s sleeping on them but I’d be over the moon if they win tomorrow!
They’re so talented and they’re great live. Besides, their song is the finest of the whole season 🙂

No joking I was thinking the exact same thing the past days. The odds are heavily underestimating their chances.
They do sound great live! I just watched the rehearsal clips and they seem to be the most polished from what I’ve seen so far as Benjamin and Käärijä both sounded a bit underwhelming sadly. Kuumaa have a lot of fans in Finland so I wouldn’t be surprised either if they win. It’s just a shame as we have so many bands already this year at Eurovision that I’m worried they are going to cancel each other out.
Somehow I expect Benjamin to have an underwhelming performance, my Finnish friends have told me in the past that he’s not as good live (though he’s improved in recent years to my understanding)
Btw, where did you find the rehearsal clips? 😮
We all have our favourites but, come on, Loreen is just on another level. Her voice, charisma and recognizable style makes her one of the best singers I have ever heard. I am against ESC artists returning but only Loreen is an exception
I would make an exception for Riva and Marie N, two memorable winners
Marie Nncouldn’t even carry a tune.
Perhaps, but She Wanna. One of the worst winners in history of contest.
Why shouldn’t artists return if they have the best song in their respective national selections. It is a song contest not an artist contest.
Thank you! I agree.
oh the mariette effect !
can someone please explain how croatia is 15th? i rlly like it but not to a point of it getting 15th while there are masterpieces below it
Not so sure Loreen will win Melodifestivalen. Might be the twins or, even more likely, Maria Sur. Swedes love backstories
Sorry but her song in 2017 was not good; accept this and being objective is always a good thing 🙂 Also, Loreen won Eurovision in 2012; another Candidate also needs chance. “Tattoo” is nice song but a bit overrated because it was sang by one of most popular ESC winners.
Maria Sur will not win. A final without Sweden and russia will not happen.
Knocks at table
I think Maria Sur has a great stage presence but her song is not that great. Loreen should with but I love the Norwegian twins as well 🙂
No, seriously. Loreen has a very good voice. But I am not sure the song will be a commercial success!
the commercial success of Kalush Orchestra is unreachable
Kalish who ?
Loreen in better than the song! I loved Statement. Best song ever on melfest. Also loved Loreens album Heal! As a swed and fan of Loreen it hurts that she is singing a song that isn’t at her level.
Let’s get this straight
Alessandra has viral success across Europe on Spotify and was global number 1 for a week. Yes GLOBAL.
Yet …
Vintage screaming fans and bookies hear a 10 second clip of loreen and it’s the best thing ever in history.
It’s purely hype and a name. Fans of hers will have a meltdown from this but it is pure truth 100%
Loreen its a name you are loving Not the song.
It’s gonna flop hard though. Most of the bookmakers can’t judge that well when we only have half of all songs. Just because fans like it it’l boost, also bc Norway finishes in the top 10 frequently these days
As if the bookies were esc specialists with one person behind a computer waiting and choosing the odds according the events happening in the esc bubble. As if this imaginary person makes evolute the odds according his feeling about a song, or his own taste…. It’s not how it works AT ALL, these are computers and the moves in the odds are artificially done. For example an esc winner or a runner up coming back and the computers react, Mahmood, Lazarev, a big name competing in Eurovision is announced, like Darude, the computers reacts or the “market” reacts if you… Read more »
In 2017 it was already the same for Sweden in the odds before Loreen wasn’t qualified for the final.
I forgot but look Italy this year, they sent Marco who managed to be 7th in Eurovision already, so the odds won’t put him at the top it’s logical but it doesn’t mean that he couldn’t be in the top 5 or more this time, it’s based on his past result because it’s a data the bookies use too.
I think it was the same for Margaret in Poland 2016
It’s both. Computers tabulate likely odds, but humans also adjust them according to what fan reaction, piblic reaction and whst heir in-house misical experts think.
It’s why sometimes the odds shift dramaticaly over-night, with certain entrys rising dramatically in the odds yet after a few hours ot a day or two, the odds are magically rebalanced so thry drop back to where or very near to where they originally were.
Yes. I think if the “wrong” song wins in Finland tonight their odds will nosedive
For me, I can tell you it’s the snippet I love, not the name.
The way you’re considering Loreen overrated is the same way I feel towards Alessandra. Mark your words cause she will be the one that won’t have success next May.
None of them will have success next may. That’s 2024. Well saying that loreen enters every year. Desperate to cling on to fame
As a Norwegian myself i don’t even think we are going to the final. Our worst entry for a long time sadly, and in my opinion i agree we don’t even deserve to be in final. I think we will never have such great entries in esc anymore like 2013.
There is no chance of you not going to final and likely a Top 4 finish. And I am not a fan of the song.
Haha ok… mr truth. Taste is not the same thing as truth… some people have to understand that sometimes. It is you that feel like that.
I feel like Loreen forgets that she’s human sometimes.
THANK GOD UKRAINE IS NO LONGER 1ST damn will these politics stay the heck away
Loreen for the win because we want petra back at presenting!!!!!!! ??????
I think Petra Mede is retired so maybe we won’t get to see her again in case sweden wins
She’s still active.
To people who claim there is nothing new in Loreen’s song: She did present something new with “Statements” in 2017 and she could not make to the national final. That was a crime of course and not only Sweden but also Eurovision missed a great chance then. Now I do hope Melodifestivalen does not fail her.
Agree but I think there is nothing new and unique in Loreen’s song. Sweden’s entry last year was more original, unique and different compared to previous Sweden’s entries. But “Tattoo” is overhyped because of Loreen’s popularity. Eurovision didn’t missing great chance when she lost in 2017 and would not lose any chance if she can not win Melodifestivalen
I think Loreen’s song might be good but i dont really understand the ‘euphoria’ about the staging: all i see IS a woman crawling under a low ceiling. I suppose It must be very conceptual and evocative and meaningful and Deep but…
no it’s just visually striking
Crawling underneath the ceiling refers to being trapped and in danger for suffocation/pain. It translates the messages of the song (as far as the snippet shows) really well.
It is depressive; the song doesnt give the sense of being trapped.
“I don’t wanna go But baby we both know This is not our time It’s time to say goodbye Until we meet again ‘Cause this is not the end It will come a day When we will find our way Violins playing and the angels crying When the stars align then I’ll be there No I don’t care about them all ‘Cause all I want is to be loved And all I care about is you You stuck on me like a tattoo No I don’t care about the pain I’ll walk through fire and through rain Just to get… Read more »
Agree with you; a singer whose song is overhyped by fans is shouring under a low ceiling. The song is also a bit depressive but I don’t think that the song is emotional or meaningful.
Hello Lindsay, Michael, Felix and dozens of other names you keep on renaming yourself to.
The bookies’ predictions were ridiculous when they’ve had Ukraine at the top with a 25 % chance to win. And they still are ridiculous now, when they think that Loreen will be lightyears above everyone else.
Australia ought to be in the top 15
So far, Finland and Spain are also very competitive. Poland to a less extent (Yet to see Jann’s live.)
I hope for the win of Kärjää and Jann. Then they will be together with Blanca Paloma my personal Top 3. Australia this year is great too.
hey, Loreen seems to be bringing a total package…hard to judge in its entirety given we only heard 1 minute and seen 30 seconds…but she’s definitely creating a moment which is more than any other contestant has done this year at Melfest…Christer used to say that every performance had to have a moment that everyone would remember–maybe they won’t remember the song, but they’ll remember something about the performance…this year has been truly mostly forgettable songs and stagings…when Loreen won MF I was excited because it could’ve been her or Saucedo with his electric dancers–there was a sense of competition…this… Read more »
Just watched the snippet. I don’t get the hype.
Glad to see another person who shared the same view.
Just another act based on staging alone. Aren’t people tired of this ?
Seems that they are not; especially when it comes to Sweden :/
I got tired of it already in 2004. Based on the audio alone, I did not think Wild Dances would qualify. The same for Ireland 2018.
Me neither
Loreen’s staging looks absolutely amazing, so innovative! But please for the love of god, get rid of those tacky long nails.
The nails are the best part
I like how the community moved the goalposts from: ‘ Loreen shouldn’t compete in eurovision again because she can only flop disastrously after euphoria’ to: ‘Loreen shouldn’t compete in eurovision again because it’ s unfair to other competitors if she wins. ‘
She wont win
Maria Sur will not win
It’s my personal opinion but Sweden’s entry last year (“Hold Me Closer”) was 10 times better than Loreen’s song “Tattoo”. It was more unique, not generic and different from Sweden’s previous ESC entries.
I couldn’t get the hype around “Tattoo” song. It’s a nice song but It’s not a song that I want to listen again. Cornelia Jakobs could bring something new from Sweden but this year, we see generic, polished songs again.
Absolutely !
Indeed! Hold Me Closer is Sweden’s best entry in recent years, still listen to it occasionally 🙂
Indeed! Hold Me Closer is Sweden’s best entry in recent years, still listen to it occasionally 🙂
I don’t think it’s Ukraine or Sweden. It will probably be something else we still have songs to reveal
I also heard that Italy’s entrant Mengonu shared an interview and he stated he is open to choose another song for Eurovision and he might not song Due Vite in Liverpool; he would choose another song from his discord.
I hope so; I don’t want to see Swedish win because I really find the song generic.
Greece might withdraw because of their corrupt and very unprofessional decision to choose Victor over Melissa even though Melissa apparently won the voting.
that;s what has to be done and i say this as a greek
Wait, what!?
This sounds like fake news. It was an internla selection. There was no public vote. And the broadcaster was not legally blind to follow the exact voting resilts of the 2 committees.
In the internal selection there was a group of “experts” and fans choosing the song I think
The fact that Slovenia is still bottom 10 in the odds should say enough about how BS they are lol
The odds only tell us what pepole put their money on and what the bookies think. Much of it is based on what people/fans comment, – like on wiwibloggs, actually 😉
Don’t trust the odds, Lithuania was always 25th last year, in fact it always is, but then ending up higher. I think slovenia will do well.
The odds aren’t a ranking order. So if someone is in 25th position it doesn’t mean they are worse or less liked than someone in 15th position. It is ranking songs based on likelihood to win. So a super popular song could be lower than you think it should be because the bookies don’t think it has winner vibes, not that it’s ranked low or worse in comparison to others overall.
The only song out of the bunch we have right now that I can see winning is czechia
I can definitely see Spain winning
I can’t see it winning, top 10 ain’t out of the question tho!
I don’t think that Spain would be in top 10; the song may not appeal to some juries
I agree I thi k they are very underrated so far. Is the performance is anything like the video, will be in for quite the spectacle
People down voting me because I don’t have the same opinion as them, how pathetic.
I feel Norway can grab audience. So far Czechias live is a bit weak
ever thought that they could literally give us nothing in that little sh*t of a stage? They could barely move. PLus there was no audio mixing. I am not stanning them hard or sth but yall are judgy with that livee
Can’t imagine them winning. Can’t imagine how that chorus can be put intelligently on stage…
To me this is the Euphoria updated to 2023! It’s already giving me goosebumps only by listening to 30 seconds. I love these kind of songs that awaken so much emotion inside of me. I also find Loreen’s voice very special and you can always hear it’s her by the voice. Also the staging seems so far very powerful and strong like she can overcome anything. I’m sure this song will stay with many of us reminding us of different memories for many years ahead just like Euphoria still does. And the best part! I’ll watch this live tomorrow and… Read more »
The staging is good but the song is generic; Euphoria was much better than this song. “Tattoo” song is neither original nor unique.
Although it’s nice to see Ukraine being discrowned with its plastic song, I’m not sure how I feel about the hype regarding Loreen’s “Tattoo” either. It’s not like she’s bringing anything new in the game, is she? So far I see only victory written all over it with either Norway or Italy. I’m leaning towards “Due Vite” more as it was done to perfection live. And, well, obviously, I support chuto tuto, but let’s get real there – Baltic amber is not for every pompous European ears to like.
I have seen some news in Italian press that during his more recent interview in Italian TV RAI1; Mengoni has said that he is open to choose another song for Eurovision and he may choose one of his songs from his records.
For Loreen’s song; I agree with you. The staging is good but the song didn’t impress me with its chorus.
So you are saying that Loreen brought nothing new( true ) but Alessandra (godess) and Marco DID bring sth new? The song alessandra brought is what we’ve been listening to for the past 13 years, she simply delivered it much better, but still nothing new. Plus marco…
Well, don’t put your words in my mouth. Thanks. I didn’t mean to say Alessandra or Marco brought up something new. But I haven’t felt this hype regarding those two from literally seeing a 30-second snippet either. Loreen, on the other hand, is extremely hyped, as if she’s going to win everything, including Melfest and the ESC. Thus, I was asking what she’s bringing new to the game in case she’s the reason behind Sweden discrowning Ukraine by quite a margin even when we know Loreen once failed to win Melfest for the second time. Nothing, yet she is seen… Read more »
I don’t see why she should be held to a higher standard than everyone..almost no Eurovision winners bring anything new to the game. Like, ever.
And most televoters won’t even remember her from 11 years ago. So they won’t be comparing “Tattoo” to “Euphoria” and judging ir as laclign innovating. And the professional juries do not penalize entries for öacl of innovation either.
I don’t like it when past winners come back to Eurovision. Like, you’ve already won, what do you want? Let others have the chance. You’re competing against yourself and you’ll probably, statistically speaking, regret it. I don’t have anything against Sweden, on the contrary, I love Swedes and I usually enjoy their entries. As an Israeli, I hated it when Dana international competed again. I knew she wouldn’t win again, and wasn’t surprised when we didn’t even qualify to the final. Recently Dana gave an interview here saying her 2nd Eurovision experience was a karmatic punishment for being too greedy.… Read more »
That’s just toxic thinking.
They go because they enjoy it, not because they want to win again.
exactly
even loreen herself stated in 2017 that she doesn’t care abt qualifying with Statements. She just wanted to deliver her message
First of all Ding Dong by Dana International was mediocre AF, why would you compete again if the song wasn’t up to the level of Diva.. I personally think everybody should do what they wanna do.. ofcourse Melo is a great pre selection for Eurovision but besides that most artists get a hit record as a result of that in Sweden.. On Loreen.. she onzes profesionalism and don’t we want that in Eurovision? She has lots of competition and if she wins it will be deserved.. she is a classy artistic performer and Tattoo seems like a great track let… Read more »
I mean to an extent I can understand that logic because it can appear greedy but i’m also of the mindset (and this applies to returning artists too) that at the end of the day, if you put forward a quality entry with a professional and well executed stage package, I can’t really complain if you win, regardless of previous participations.
Also on the note of artists who’ve returned (at least in recent memory), I think Lena gave us another quality entry that I wouldn’t have hated to win. Dana International and Alexander Rybak returned with what I would’ve considered below par entries and their placings are a reflection of their entry.
I think you have a point, simply because many televoters will be thinking the same thing, you’ve already won, let’s give someone else a turn. For proof, look at the poor results of most host countries in the past decade.
As an Irish, I don’t think Niamh Kavanagh should have come back either. I thought at one stage she was going to get…..zero points.
Cool staging in the 30 sek clip but I was a bit disappointed of what more I heard of the song. If you follow the lyrics that are published the 30 sek clip from stage is what comes right after the snippet released yesterday. Maybe this means we have in reality already heard most of the song?
As an Irish Eurovision fan I’ll be sad to see us lose our record, but to be fair, we brought it on ourselves, we stopped trying, our approach to Eurovision is about 20 years behind everyone else, so yeah, Sweden deserve it. They deliver quality songs (most if the time). Sure, juries inflate them most years, but it can’t be denied that they enter songs that can and do have a life outside if the ESC bubble, and actually generate decent hits that do well even with non-ESC fans. I’d Sweden wins, so be it. Though I will say we… Read more »
I loved your country’s performance last year ! Should’ve been in the finals.
At least Ireland was always bringing high quality songs with different composers. Sweden tends to bring generic songs with almost same writers and composers; as if they were produced from the same factory
Well Johnny Logan had a contribution on the 3 winning songs, so i couldn’t say that they always used different composers. However, it would be nice to see Ireland coming back strong
Yeah, and Brendan Graham on another two
The only exception was Cornelia´s song last year
If Loreen wins, Ireland won’t lose the record. Just share it.
We may as well have lost it.
Judging how Sweden have done in recent esc history, i wouldn’t be surprised if Sweden became the new record holders before the decades up.
Fully agree with everything you said as a fellow Irish Eurovision fan. It saddens me that I missed our glory years and you could say have watched the contest when we’ve been at possibly some of our lowest points in the contest. We’ve become somewhat of a joke, a country that consistently delivers below par entries and our abysmal record feeds into the negative, snobbish outlook that so many non esc fans have of the contest, the exact same thinking as Britain up until their recent attempt. I really want us to improve but I don’t know if we can… Read more »
The Late Late Show made San Marino look like the Grammy awards
To be fair to Sweden Darren, two of their winners were in their own language. Ireland benefitted big time from the language rule. Do you really think Mysterious Woman would have finished second if there had been more songs in English?
Its snippet got 412K views in just one day.
Loreen had a winning performance – full package
As they should!! Ukraine’s song is not that bad tho it still better than 50% of this year’s songs.
I want another country with good song to win Eurovision. Every year we see how overhyped Sweden’s entries are and this is unfair for other countries’ songs. Staging is good but Loreen’s song is generic and mediocre
Yeah but think that, at the end of the day, Sweden is judged really critically just because the expectations are high. And that’s why it is very hard to find a winning entry from Melfest that gives us goosebumps or that is generally popular among the international fans. Moreover Swedish popularity in the odds (and the same think happens with Italy as well) comes as a consequence of its popularity in the televote, not because eurofans are supporting it (actually the contrary happens).
Ok song, cool staging. Really dont think it should win Eurovision, as there are better, more original and deserving songs out there (Finland, Serbia, Poland to mention a few). I’m Swedish so not hating/jealous etc
Thank you for your opinion: I like it so far and I think it deserves a good position… but for a winning performance, I am looking for something new. I think Kaarija could be a good option if it goes for Finland (hopefully so!).
Totally rooting for Käärijä!
i hope that top 2 this years is Finland and Sweden
Agree with you. Also, Italy’s singerMarco Mengoni stated in TV interview that he is open to change his song and choose some of his another songs, rather than Due Vite.
Just saw the rehearsal clip and…
Those odds aren’t short enough. Sweden are winning this.
No, we don’t want another Swedish win with highly polished, generic song. Except last year, Swedish entries are from being original and unique.
The fact that Sweden is first just because one of the contenders of their national selection is an already winner and she launched one minute of song and 30 seconds of rehearsal just shows how prone Eurofans are of Sweden to win no matter what.
That’s a stupid thing to write. Charlotte Perelli competed again a few year ago and Sweden wasn’t high in the odds because of her. The snippet of Loreen’s song is just sick. You’re either too stubborn to consider it or just on the I-hate-the-Swedish-success toxic wagon of Eurofans. I personally think you’re both
