Why he might be annoying:

    His first name has a diacritic and his last name has an umlaut, making them a pain to type unless you have a Swedish keyboard.
    He has three middle names: Petter, Albert and Sahlen.
    He looks like Enrique Iglesias. (And, perhaps not coincidentally, performed two of Enrique's songs on 'Idol.')
    On a Swedish cooking show, he called homosexuality a 'biological deviation' and said, 'It isn't equally natural for men to want to sleep with one another.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He apologized, saying 'I believe and hope that the vast majority know that I respect differences and all forms of love.'
    He hosted Sweden's largest annual LGBT event, the 'QX' magazine gala (2014).
    At the 'QX' bash, he went buck naked for a parody of Miley Cyrus' 'Wrecking Ball.'
    Along with a hot babe from Spain, he prompted the 'Mirror' to ask 'Is Eurovision 2015 the sexiest ever?'
