Next to rehearse on stage today is Sweden. Eric Saade is among the favourites not only to qualify to the final, but also to win the Contest this year. His performance is similar to Melodifestivalen.

Melodifestivalen, the national final of Sweden, which is traditionally one of the best shows of Europe to choose the representative in Eurovision Song Contest, lasted 6 weeks.
