So, Sweden is the favourite for the win and hasn't even chosen a song yet. Great.
However, Frans will most likely represent Sweden, since everyone believes that he will win Melodifestivalen later tonight.

Ok, so the final of Melodifestivalen was held last night in Friends Arena, and it is an understatement to say that I'm disappointed with the result.
Let me explain why: I am a HARDCORE Sweden fan boy when it comes to Eurovision, I always like the songs they send (apart from Sanna) and I normally place them in my top 5 and usually vote for them in the shows, as well as watching Melodifestivalen of course. 2016 was such an amazing year for the contest, the actual quality of the shows improved massively, and for once we actually got a final which was packed with major hits, and tbh it was quite wide open by the time we came to the televote. I had backed Molly Pettersson Hammar before, until she was wiped out in Andra Chansen, and now I was #TeamMollySandén.
Sweden being the country it is with its lagom culture decided to choose Frans, with his boring af song 'If I Were Sorry'. They didn't go for a showstopper like Youniverse, Don't Worry or Human, instead they go for a filler act: Frans!
I am sad ;(

I have to say that this song (If I Were Sorry) sounds incredibly similar to Matt Simons' Catch And Release, at least that's my opinion.

Not bad, but not great either. Russia should have this in the bag. Easily.

As much as the Swedes love Eurovision, and they do, they just don't want to win two years in a row. Look at Robin Stjenberg. Who? Exactly.

Yes, I'm happy a bad song won, because we cannot afford to host the show two years in a row.

Don't get the hype around Russia, its typical Eurovision pop and nowadays those songs don't do as well.

Russia's song is fantastic! It is so Eurovision and it gives me flashbacks to 2008 & 2009, my favourite Eurovisions. The song captivates you from the the bells chiming at the start to the crescendo at the end, this song is a winner! It is typical Euro-pop and it sounds just like a Sergey Lazarev song.

Romania have been disqualified from Eurovision 2016! This is due to a large sum of debt not being paid, €14 mil in fact. Here is an explanation of why the country have been disqualified:
