    HUGE congratulations to all concerned, including the often-forgotten dancers and orchestra. :)

And it will be a Swedish production, so that makes me even more excited. I am begging for Petra and mans to host again. Especially Petra. And i hope that for their 3rd time in 11 years , SVT will even manage to host a better show than 2016. See you in Malmö everyone!!!🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪❤️

    This is the new winner of Eurovision 2016.
    P's. I love how Petra said 'These are my favorite things.' reminds me of Lea Salonga.

      +Yuan And Andy Awesome I would say it's a reference to "My Favorite Things' from Sound of Music as the song changes to this tune for a few seconds :)
