The international jury awards half of the points in the Melodifestival final.

They do this based on Friday's genre rep - and therefore it is more important than any other genre rep during the Melodifestival season.

Despite that, much did not go as the hosts or the artists wanted on Friday night.

Daughter's neck injury, which she suffered on Monday, has still not healed.

She was disturbed by it during the genre rehearsal.

- It has been so much with my neck now, I am so very tired.

It's like I have a thousand knots that move in different places, she said afterwards.

In addition, she is not the only artist who appeared injured during the genre rehearsal.

And host Shima Niavarani was about to be injured on stage when a sketch went completely wrong.

See Niavarani's case and SVT's interim reporters Helin Pakdemir and Andreas Söderlund's summary of the important genre rope in the clip above.
