The 2 acts that were previously in Eurovision already made it directly. Can't say that's surprising me lol.

Yesterday, it was informed that one of the participants of the second semi final, Thorsten Flinck, would be disqualified from the competition, following the information that he is currently being prosecuted for unlawful threats and vandalism.
The disqualification of Thorsten Flinck may results in SVT being more careful in making actual background checks with the acts prior to their participation, since it has also been brought to attention that one of the members of OVÖ have been charged with drug offence a few years ago, as well as SVT being asked about how they handle acts competing in Melodifestivalen with criminal pasts.
Either ways, SVT did reveal that the entry which Thorsten was suppose to sing, "Miraklernas tid", would not be disqualified, and a replacement for that entry would be found in due time, which was earlier today reveal to be Jan Johansen.
Jan is no stranger to Melodifestivalen - let alone Eurovision - as he has previously participated 4 times, 1995, 2001, 2002 and 2003. He won Melodifestivalen in 1995 with his entry "Se på mig", which later earned him a respectable third place at the Eurovision Song Contest. He also appeared during the first semi final of 2020 as an interval act, standing along side other legendary acts such as Lili & Susie and Sean Banan.
In conclusion: Semi final 2 just became a bigger bloodbath than it already was.

Dotter will flop again, won't she? I don't see the 2 Swedish songs making it either. So I guess Vamos Amigos, Kingdom Come, Talking in My Sleep and Nobody will advance.

To me this is a fantastic result!!
Dotter got her revenge!! So happy!!
The one thing I'm happy about is that I can listen to klaras song fully now slay. But wish there could be 3 spots in andra chansen as she deserved a second chance!
