This year’s edition Melodifestivalen will be the fourth winner of the Eurovision Song Contest in 2012 – of flowers, which dominates the betting tables (82% chance of winning according to data from eurovisionworld.com). It is worth noting that Sweden is now also the bookmakers’ favorite to win Eurovision alone (34% chance of winning against 14% of Ukraine and Finland). So there are many indications that we are witnessing Loreen’s march for the Eurovision double. So far, only Johnny Logan, who won the Irish Grand Prix in 1980 and 1987, has managed to do so. Will Loreen be in contention for a second trophy to complete? Answer tomorrow!
