JESC: Although i've only ever watched the event in full (once in 2004 when it was shown on tv), I do have a few good songs I listen to from it. Alot of the songs are rubbish, but there are a few gems
> UK 2004 - Cory Spedding, The best is yet to come
> Sweden 2006 - Moll Sanden, Det finaste nagon kan fa.
> Sweden 2007 - Frida Sanden, Nu eller aldrig
> Belgium 2007 - Trust, Anders
> Serbia 2007 - Nevena Bozovic, Pisi Mi

I also watched Melodifestivalen this year, and if it was up to me the final would have looked a little different. My top 10 songs (in no order):
> BWO: Lay your love on me
> Sanna Nielsen: Empty room
> Frida ft. Headline: Upp o hoppa
> Sibel: That is where i''ll go
> Velvet: Deja Vu
> Michael Michailoff: Thats love
> Charlotte Perrelli: Hero
> Thérèse Andersson: When you need me
> Linda Bengtzing ( lol): Hur svart kan det va?
> Rongedal: Just a minute

Anyway I don't really know what else to say!
