[@s7evin88]

Hey guys, in case you still like Eric and want to help him, watch his "Every Minute" performance and leave him a like and a nice comment when you like it. I just feel he needs to go again to Eurovision after exactly 10 years and I think his attempt with "Every Minute" is very worthy: perfect staging, nice song.

[@peterkirby7270]

A great song from Sweden and a catchy tune. They take great care what they send to Eurovision and a lot must be said for their selection process for Eurovision. I wish the UK would treat Eurovision as seriously as they used to and devise a good selection procedure involving the public and perhaps an international jury. So many countries have many songs in their selection process. I applaud this entry and Sweden in their approach to Eurovision . The song could have easily won the contest. Thank you for sharing BBC. The A Song for Europe, of which I loved to attend, really did have some excellent songs in the past. I am talking about the 70,s 80,s and 90,s and since then apart from 2002 and 2009 they lost their way. Let us make a come back starting this year.
