Melodifestivalen and Eurovision Song Contest 2013
In 2013, Robin Stjernberg took part in Melodifestivalen, the Swedish preliminary to the Eurovision Song Contest. He competed in the fourth of a total of four preliminary shows and was unable to secure a direct place for the final. However, he managed to enter the Andra Chans (Second Chance) intermediate round in the final on March 9, 2013. He received only the second most votes in the telephone voting (15.8%, equivalent to 75 points) behind Yohio (21.7%, equivalent to 103 points). However, half of the points were awarded by eleven international juries. Yohio received only 30 points from these, while Stjernberg was narrowly placed first with 91 points. As a result, Stjernberg ultimately won with 166 points, ahead of Yohio with 133 points. He is the first contestant to win the overall competition via the second chance, which has existed in the competition since 2002. At the ESC 2013, Stjernberg finally finished 14th with You.
