Sweden’s 2011 Eurovision entry, “Popular”, written by Fredrik Kempe and performed by Eric Saade, won an impressive overall victory. While the song finished third in the contest in Düsseldorf, only 4 points behind Italy, “Popular” tops our awards poll for Best Song 2011, with a remarkable 31.3% of the vote.

   I did not know that these awards celebrate, but I am delighted that Eric has won in both categories. Eurovision I voted for him, but Spain just gave 5 points to Sweden. Eric should have won, is a great artist. Have you heard his new song?, it’s cool.

   I hope to nominate Eric for the MTV Europe Music Awards 2011 in the category of best Swedish artist.

   how can Jedward be the best group? I don’t get it. Blue should’ve won the best group award. A Friend In London was also good. But not Jedward, c’mon We should all vote for those who make good quality music…

    А я не совсем согласен. Жаль не удалось проголосовать, но я бы сделал так: “Лучшая песня 2011″1 – Швеция, 2 – Россия, 3 – Израиль. “Лучшая артистка 2011″ 1 – Германия, 2 – Украина, 3 – Израиль, “Лучший артист 2011″ 1 – Россия, 2 – Швеция, 3 – ???. Номинация “Лучшая группа 2011″ 1 – Великобртания, 2 – Ирландия, 3 – ???. Вот так…
