To commemorate the 40th anniversary of ABBA winning Eurovision, the interval act was a medley of ABBA songs. Former Eurovision stars, Marie Bergman, Charlotte Perrelli, Malena Ernman, and Robin Stjernberg performed.
With Melodifestivalen over, we now look to other countries as they select their entries. Eurovision is only two months away! From what we've seen so far, there's no doubt it will be a fabulous show, loaded with talented musicians. Sanna Nielsen was perfect, and I'm so happy that she is finally going to Eurovision after seven appearances at Melodifestivalen. Sweden made the right decision tonight, and she will do a great job representing her country. Congratulations to all the performers!
