In addition to wowing audiences with Andreas Carlsson's hit song Friday night, Borg offered renditions of Bon Jovi's "Living on a Prayer" and "You're the Voice" by John Farnham.
Svensson unsuccessfully countered with "Heavens on fire" by Kiss and Pink's hit, "So What."
The Local said Borg, who previously competed twice in the Eurovision contest final, tearfully thanked his fans after being awarded top prize in the singing competition.
