Competitors praise Tusse: "Of course he would win"

57 points differed between the first Tusse and the second Eric Saade.

But there is no bitter

- I have been exactly where Tusse is ten years ago.

It's so nice to see.

There is nothing that can beat such a breakthrough for the Swedish people.

I'm incredibly happy that I came second.

When the winner was to be revealed, it was not very exciting.

Eric Saade had already calculated the end result.

- Most people probably had it by then.

There were no doubts.

"Easy to hand over the songbird"

Trean The Mamas also chose to pay tribute to the winner Tusse.

- It is easy to hand over this songbird which is so super cruel and can take it further.

And you are just so super proud, says Loulou Lamotte.

As reigning champion, The Mamas quickly had to change from competitors to prize givers to hand over the "trophy" Sångfågeln to this year's winner.

- From the time we were told that we would get off and it was between Eric and Tusse, we had 20 seconds to run through the arena.

Then we found out in the middle that Tusse had won.

So we run up on stage and scream.

Danny Saucedo, who finished in seventh place, also joined the choir.

- We all cheered on Tusse when we felt how strong the wind was.

Of course he will win, he says.
