Loreen on to the final in the Eurovision Song Contest 2023

Favorite tipped Loreen is ready for the final in the Eurovision Song Contest.
During Tuesday’s semi-final, she continued with her song “Tattoo”.
Sweden will be joined in the final by, among others, Norway and Finland.

The big favorite Loreen started at number eleven in the semi-finals of the competition where fifteen entries were more and competed for the viewers’ votes for a place in the final.

The opposition for Loreen consisted, among other things, of Finland’s colorful numbers by the rapper Käärijä with the song “Cha cha cha”, Israel’s Noa Kirel with “Unicorn” and Moldova’s Pasha Parfeny with “Soarele și Luna”.

After the viewers had their say, it was clear that Loreen and “Tattoo” will go on to Saturday’s final. She is joined in the final by, among others, competitors Norway and Finland.

Croatia, Moldova, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Israel, Portugal and Serbia also advanced from the first semi-final.

They will not suffer

Last year, Ukraine won with the entry “Stefania”, but due to the war, Great Britain had to host the event instead.

Germany, France, Spain, Great Britain and Italy go by the name “The big five”, and together with the winner’s contribution from last year are already ready for Saturday’s final, as they contribute the most money to European Broadcasting Union EBU.

The second semi-final will be played on Thursday. The final is broadcast on SVT at 21.00 on Saturday.
