Rednex shopuld had won with Mama!
booosssooonnn!!!!!!!!!!!
"mi amore" of velvet is one of my favourite songs generally, and i didn't know that it was candidate to go to eurovision... i discovered this a short time ago... it was a very big hit in 2006!! but i don't know what "fate" would it have if it had gone to eurovision in 2006... maybe it was better for the song and for velvet that it lost in the national final, because it would not make such a big success if it had gone to esc!! especially in 2006!!
In my previous post i mean: I've never heard the songs of Alcazar and Linda Bengtzing
To Ro L.
Well i don't know if "Mi amore" was a hit all over Europe, but it was a big hit in clubs of some countries like Portugal and Israel, and i've heard the songs of Alacazar or Linda Bengtzing, and i have big doubts if those songs were heard outside Sweden
Anothet big surprise is the lack of "Unbreakable" of Sahlene. The song was a huge hit in Portuguese radios, and if you visit the offciall website of Anna Sahlene, it's obvious that the song "Unbreakable" is the biggest song of Melodifestivalen of this new decade, internationally speaking (although it was elimnated at the first round and the article is about the 2nd chance).
But i guess i am correct.
Velvet-Mi aire is the most famouse in Bulgaria from the list 
Bobby Ljungren and Henrik Wikstrom. Their names seem to be a guarentee for Andra chansen.
not that great of a list, only eurotrash there
ok so i kinda like Alcazar but that's the same way im ok listening to some cute europop, nothing musically great..
I´m probably the only one who thinks Sonja Aldén is overrrated. *sigh* She´s got a great voice, but "För att du finns" wasn´t THAT great IMO. Thank God it´s, more or less, a free world.
Sonja Aldén was great... She should have won last year...
Mi Amore? don't even know the song, guess international wasn't the netherlands
I loved the Sonja alden song, but that's just me 
Perhaps the data is only from sweden?
This is strange, because "mi amore" was an international hit, and it's only 7th???
