I didn't know if I should mention this but it was not such a good night for us swedes. Or was it? Well our neighbour won, Iceland (my favourite and Nordic neighbour came second and the third country Azerbadjan did have a Swedish singer, Swedish dancers and a song written by a Swede. So we as a country, were proud, even though our Swedish song, sang by opera singer Malena Ernman, just came on place 21 of 25 could still make us happy.
