Sweden managed to get in place 5 – amazing. That was extremely well and much better than anyone would have dared to hope for. The whole event was very well produced and I think Sweden made a very positive impression and did us proud. Last year the show had almost 200 million viewers all over the world. I wonder how many it was this year.
