Day 1 is over and the first nine semifinalists has now rehearsed. Remember that this was
the first rehearshal and it's still early days to say too much as the
singers could be holding back, camera shots will be changed and some
coreography has not been revealed. But it's still enough to leave a
first impression.

Time has been running fast lately and it is hard to believe that I will be in Moscow in a bit less than two weeks. There is so much to do before leaving that I can imagine suffering from stress before getting on the plane. A postpone for a couple of weeks would be fine with me.

The Swedish final is getting closer. As a fan I’m of course counting down the hours now and I’m so excited to see who is going to represent Sweden in Moscow in this years Eurovision Song Contest. The last couple of years haven’t been so lucky for us as we’ ve finished at 18th place two years in a row.
They have come in for a lot of criticism since the introduction of the semifinals, but the Big Four are showing that this year, they really do mean business.
Today, the 18th of February, I celebrate my 25th year anniversary as a Eurovision Song Contest fan. It was in relation to the 1984 Dansk Melodi Grand Prix I first time defined myself as a fan. Many things have happened over the years, but I am proud to say that I am still a dedicated fan after so many years.
As well as a lot of other Swedish fans, I am counting down the hours until Saturdays live show. After having seen the performances on stage during yesterdays rehearsals, I’m really excited...and really torn regarding who will go through to the final.
I was asked how I can enjoy three middle age overweight men dressed in colourful suits singing a song that won't go down in history as something to remember, but that is what I like about De Toppers. It is fun and not too serious! I am ready for two weeks of fun with these guys in Moscow - and me and three guys might even me good for my health!
