This is what I always point out when people say Loreen coming back was unfair. If the juries and the public vote for someone purely because they remember them and like them, then Alexander Rybak would’ve won in 2018. And that’s just one of many examples.

[@quangminhtran2916]

Tbh, back in 2018 people expected Alexander to win when he was once again selected to represent Norway at the time lol, he was hyped up a lot until his song for the contest revealed, the song was really mediocre at best. It's interesting to know that he won the semi he was in despite how boring his song was but only came 15th in the final.

[@aleksandra5808]

But I feel like Alexander purposefully went back with a mediocre song to make sure he doesn't take away the victory from someone else. No way he expected to win with that no matter how much people like him.

[@beandrag9019]

Was so satisfying to see him flop with that rotten song

[@evaldk1574]

Well the only reason they use that argument is because they are salty that finland didnt win this year.

It will always remain a mystery that Germany chose to send Lena the year after again. Why? Did they want to win again? Or did they want to ensure that they wouldn’t win again? Or did a country of 80 million just not have any other singers suitable that year? Don’t get me wrong, Taken by a stranger is by far better than Satellite and should’ve won in 2011 and is one of my favourite songs ever, but still I don’t get the idea.

[@beandrag9019]

There was an official statement on why somewhere but I do know that she says she regrets it

[@renemeetstheworld67]

They said she wanted to defend her title, but even during the contest you could tell, she regretted the idea. And - as someone already mentioned before - she recently said, she retrospektively doesn't think her second attempt was necessary, even though she did pretty well
