There's still more to vote on!

Once we had completed our look at those who were wronged by the rules of ESC, it was time to move on to something else, we had really got the bit between our teeth now!

The passage of time means that I can no longer remember the exact order that these little contests appeared on Digital Spy, but the next one I will talk about is the National Final rejects , which was run by marrakech.

Here we had a chance to submit any song that didn't make it to ESC from any country and any year. The choices were endless, but as we thought, Melodifestivalen was very well represented. I loved this contest, out of the 19 offerings, there were 8 that I didn't know and had great fun in getting familiar with. Voting was in the usual Eurovision style, 12, 10, 8, 7 etc and the results were as follows:

01ST PLACE - 117 POINTS gottago - Sweden 2009 // Alcazar "Stay The Night"
02ND PLACE - 109 POINTS BigBmad - Sweden 2008 // BWO "Lay Your Love One Me"
3rd - 91 points Pepsi-max kid - Sweden 2010 // Eric Saade "Manboy"
04th place - 84 points marrakech - Slovenia 2006 // Sasa Lendero "Mandoline"
05th place - 74 points big bro geek - Norway 2010 // Venke Knutson "Jealous 'Cause I Love You"
06th place - 71 points. Only_you - United Kingdom 2007 // Cyndi "I'll Leave My Heart"
07th place - 65 points 9ct mould - Ireland 2008 // Leona Daly "Not Crazy After All"
08th place - 62 points ShadyNathan - Spain 2010 // Coral Segovia "En Una Vida"

19th Place - 16 points EuroChris - Finland 2009 // KWAN "10000 Light Years"




I personally fell in love with Lisa Bresnan from Ireland 2003, and Polly Brown from 1976 (which I have been hearing in all sorts of random places ever since!
