Måns Zelmerlöw

Did you also enjoy this year’s interval act, where former Eurovision acts performed each other’s songs? 2015 Eurovision winner Måns Zelmerlöw performed Eleni Foureira’s “Fuego”, which finished second last year.

It became a big hit for Eleni Foureira last year, and now Fuego gets new life. Måns Zelmerlöw appeared in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest with this song as a part of the interval act. The full version of his great attempt at this song has been made available on YouTube, Spotify, iTunes and Apple Music.

You’ll soon recognize that Måns’ version of Eleni’s pop-banger is toned down quite a lot. Perhaps Måns had the words Salvador Sobral spoke after winning the 2017 contest in mind: “Music is not fireworks, music is feeling”

When Måns Zelmerlöw in 2015 won with Heroes it became Sweden’s 6th Eurovision win. One more, and they will be tied with Ireland’s seven for the country with most victories.
