The Swedish Battle for ESC 2013

The Swedish contribution for the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) 2013 was selected tonight.

The winner with 166 points was Robin Stjernberg with the song "You".


In second place, with 133 points, and the huge winner of the Swedish televotes, was YOHIO with the song "Heartbreak Hotel"


Robin owes his victory to the participation of International juries in the Swedish final (who's votes accounted for 50% of the votes). The juries voted for Robin as the winner while they had the domestic favorite, YOHIO, second to last in the 10 song line up with a 61 point difference. The difference proved to be too large for YOHIO to catch up.

Although I do not care that much, I would still like to thank the International juries for saving Sweden's bacon in the ESC 2013 finals on May 18 in Malmö, Sweden.
