Last night the second heat of Melodifestivalen took place in G\u00f6teborg, and it wasn’t without its drama! Last weekend if was announced that Thorsten Flinck had been disqualified, and thus would not appear in this heat. Earlier this week, the replacement was then announced, and Jan Johansen was added to the roster for this heat. The name should sound familiar, as he represented Sweden in Eurovision back in 1995 with the song “Se P\u00e5 Mig”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
