Today, the first semi-final, the one in which Sweden would have competed, would have been held in the Netherlands. Instead, you can watch the Eurovision song celebration. Here, all competing entries are shown in the correct starting order with intermediate acts on the official Youtube channel of Eurovision song contest. It's not a competition, but it's nice. Start time? When ESC should have started: 21.00 Swedish time. Same thing on Thursday with the second semi-final.

If you are looking for something more difficult, you can listen to the BBC's Russia correspondent who plays ESC songs live on piano. Found on the network's Facebook page at 16 o'clock.

It is also time for Iceland to present its top 15 list, after conducting a national vote. And that is clearly about what contribution would have taken second place, since the country is convinced that Dadi and Gagnamagnið - Think about things, would have won.

Sweden's 12th is shown in SVT. The Swedish people choose their ESC winner from this year's contribution. And no, you can't vote for The Mamas. Many other European countries have similar arrangements, so maybe an informal winner can be spotted at the end of the week.

However, Belgium makes another variation and votes its 20 favorite contributions throughout the history of the ESC. In the final there are no less than three Swedish contributions, Waterloo, Heroes and Euphoria.
