Ida Andia now turns her sights onto Sweden in her discussion as to which of the songs in semi final 2 will make it to the Grand final.
Never too late for Sweden. They always send great entries to the Eurovision Song Contest. This year is no exception. I really love the lyrics and the song, Too late for love, even if it is a little repetitive, it is still catchy. It will be interesting how John Lundvik, the co-writer for the 2019’s entry of United Kingdom, representing Sweden, will ”fight” in the Grand Final with this country who is pre-qualified, thanks to being one of the Big Five.
John Lundvik took the honours for Sweden with his song Too Late For Love in an excellent production by SVT of the 2019 Melodifestivalen. Entertainment of the highest standard!!
12 songs competed in the final –
Jon Henrik Fjällgren – Norrsken (Goeksegh)
Lisa Ajax – Torn
Mohombi – Hello
Lina Hedlund – Victorious
Bishara – On My Own
Anna Bergendahl – Ashes to Ashes
Nano – Chasing Rivers
Hanna Ferm & LIAMOO – Hold You
Malou Prytz – I Do Me
John Lundvik – Too Late for Love
Wiktoria – Not With Me
Arvingarna – I Do
There was great entertainment between the songs with Benjamin Ingrosso performing with Felix Sandman to open the show and a great surprise that Charlotte Perreli performed her 1999 winning Eurovision song Take Me To Your Heaven and then Dana International sang Diva, the 1998 winning song for Israel. Together they sang a new composition Diva To Diva.
John Lundvik took the top marks from the International Jury and also the Public vote.
One interesting fact about John Lundvik is that he is one of the composers of the United Kingdom Eurovision song this year, Bigger Than Us, by Michael Rice.
You can see John Lundvik’s winning song for Sweden below and also the hot duet and including their winning ESC songs by Dana and Charlotte.
