Celine Dion won in 1988 and she Canadian, Katrina and the Waves won in 1997 and she's American and the winner in 1971 was a French woman representing Monaco. You've never had to be from the country.

 OT I think it's a bad idea because the interval is supposed to be a showcase of your nation eg a native dance, style or music, local musician or theater production. Justin Timberlake has **** all to do with Sweden

Alannah Miles sang in the Swedish take-outs some years ago. She was acting quite weird and seemes high actually.

No, Timberlake has nothing to do with Sweden except a lot of his music is written by Swedes and maybe he's recording here too. I think it's cool he's performing. And don't miss the rule about having to sing in the native language.

I get that the EBU reference group is rubber stamping their approval of their decisions, but that doesn't mean another host would come up with these "good" ( ) decisions. Sweden is probably my favourite country ever, but in terms of Eurovision; their cost-cutting decisions and attempts to shape the contest around melodifestivalen aren't great (in my opinion anyway obviously). 

The added benefit of Sweden never winning again is Ireland keeps its record, and its peak and Riverdance is still far more impressive than any other nations'  

I think the cost-cutting is good. They show that you can put up a good show without spending too much money. That will take away some pressure for smaller countries who doesn't have that kind of money.

And about the new voting, I swear it will be great and a lot more exciting. It was a long time ago the voting was exciting in Eurovision since the winner is obvious when there's like 10 countries left to vote. This way you won't know the winner until the voting is finished.

Spoiler

and Sweden will snatch Irelands wig with the number of victories
