Are they going to mud-wrestle over the right to sing La Det Swinge for the 254th time? If so my money is all on Regina.

Oops. Make that 'best-ever presenter in Lill Lindfors'!

La det Swinge is one of the all-time best winners and the 85 contest was a triumph for SVT with the best-ever present in Lill Lindfors. Her 'dress malfunction' stunt was classic, even more so because it raised more than a few eyebrows with the pompous EBU at the time.

What on earth was wrong with my post? Why did you delete it? I said a few nice things about Engla and then I said that I hoped to see Sara at in Oslo! That sort of random deleting is making me not wanting to go to your party, mr Viniker! :S

Alyson Wonderland

I hope Princess Engla will come. I

Can I ask, why do you hope that? hehe..

I might be in Oslo in May as it turns out, so I may in fact attend this party! I'd love to see Bobbysocks live on stage, I remember them from 1985 and I still have the 7'' single. I'm sure more names are going to be announced throughout. Well done ESCtoday, and happy anniversary! :D

Great! You are welcome to Oslo, Alyson :)

Bobbysocks- One of the best winners ever! Now that is what eurovision is truly about- fun, bouncy, camp- I feel eurovision nowadays has lost all that sparkle and people are taking it far too seriously. The best 2010 entry is Denmark, Netherlands and UK
