Sooooo we’re back in the press centre and all quite surprised. Many here are happy, though, that Yohio didn’t win after all. The show was ok, Gina was amazing (“…that’s what we do”), Lynda stole the show again, but the performances themselves didn’t come across that well in the arena, it is probably too big to create an intimate atmosphere.

That was it from today, tomorrow we’ll deliver you the photos and gossip from the After Party (to which we will head off soon, after some more cookies!).

And that’s it with all the interviews so far, we managed to get more than the half of the MF finalists in front of our camera, and we’re quite happy with that!

Tonight is the big final, and we will announce our prediction very soon. Stay tuned!

I tried to convince Ulrik Munther he should come to our private party, it would give him a boost for the final. Then we ate muffins.

This was the dream I had before I woke up ca. 20 minutes ago, with “Tell The World I’m Here” stuck in my head – a sign?

There wasn’t much time to blog yesterday as we were busy doing our live blog from the dress rehearsal, doing some more interviews (will be online soon!) and enjoyed ourselves in the party at Paradise!

After a desperate search for open food places around 5 in the morning, we went home nearly starving, so it was good I still kept a croissant and a “Dubbel Nougat” (very tasty) on my hotel table.

Now I’ll launch my day. It’s the final day of Melodifestivalen and again – it all comes so suddenly again.
Keep your eyes on esc-chat.com throughout the day, we are in Stockholm and do our best to make you feel as close as possible!
