Eurovision 2015: Sweden

And here is the favourite according to the bookies, Måns Zelmerlöw. Heroes is clearly a strong song, but Zelmerlöw has also attracted unwelcome headlines for speaking out against homosexuality which at an event like Eurovision is a dangerous move.

Måns Zelmerlöw – Heroes – Sweden -(Eurovision Song Contest: Second Semi Final)

Måns Zelmerlöw masterminded one of the most memorable moments in the history of the Swedish selection show, Melodifestivalen, with his performance of the uplifting Heroes. Obviously both the song and the vocals had to be strong – previous winners have included artists from ABBA to Loreen – but the visual spectacular show took everyone by surprise and rendered him the victory in the contest on his third attempt.

Måns is a versatile artist who has won Let’s Dance, played the lead role in Grease and Romeo & Juliet, hosted TV-shows, alongside being a successful composer and recording artist.
