Oh Benjamin - the son of two Swedish entertainment legends with a promising Melodifestivalen debut the year before, this young talent became a popular star overnight. But was his sudden fame enough for Eurovision stage?

The show returns to Sweden, this time hosted in the nation's capital in what would be the most slickly produced, funniest, best hosted shows in years.

For the first time there wasn't really anything funny about the entries this year. Luckily, the hosts made up for it by presenting the funniest interval act in history, by providing a loving poke at classic Eurovision tropes.

The Swedish National Final, called Melodifestivalen, is almost as a big a show as Eurovision.

Sweden last hosted Eurovision in 2000. The country had its fifth win, tying with the United Kingdom for second most wins, both two behind Ireland's seven wins.

I loved this. I mean LOVED. I knew this had to win. Everything about this is a yes from me. "Euphoria" was a game changer.

Another prime example of Swedish schlager, this cheesy pop gem was destined to do well at Eurovision.

This might have been the first song to make me laugh that year.
