Tomorrow the final of Melodifestivalen, Sweden’s Eurovision qualifiers, takes place and as usual it’s set to be a fight to the finish between some great pop songs… and a few that you must need to be Swedish to see the appeal of! Last year I had fun reviewing each Melodifestivalen semi-final by giving every performer an award, and I have decided to revive the MF Awards for the 2012 final.
