Sweden 2012: Loreen to Baku

It never turned exciting, not for a second. Had the international juries left Danny in fourth place and Loreen in seventh, there could have been a moment of tension.

Now - nothing.

But who am I to complain? I thought Loreen was the only sensible choice Sweden could make and they clearly lived up to expectation. Loreen proved that she could deliver even with a flu, and the televoters forgave her for some tiny imperfections in her delivery. And rightly so.

Now everyone in Sweden seems euphoric (to say the least) about the result, but I would not go quite as far as to deem her the overall winner just yet. In Baku, it will come down to a number of things - starting position, how the song works out with the new stage, with the camera work. And we haven't heard all the songs yet.

Sweden will do well, sail like a proud ship through the semis to the final, but after that? No idea. And it is not important either. Not yet.
