After seven appearances in the Melodifestivalen, Sanna Nielsen (pictured) will finally represent Sweden in ESC. And in Copenhagen, she will sing "Undo."
"Undo" is a ballad that is all the way soft. Vocals are okay, typical of mainstream pop. It is an okay track. She will perform in the first semifinal next Tuesday. However, since the first semifinal will be the toughest of the two semifinals and anyone of those fifteen can advance, she might not make it to the grand final on Saturday. For some reason.
Sweden has been an integral part of the ESC for five decades. When it comes to Sweden in the ESC, you should know that the best entry is Loreen Talhaoui "Euphoria," the 2012 winner. Second most points ever in an ESC grand final. The second best ESC entry for Sweden in my opinion: Roger Pontare with "When Spirits Are Calling My Name," from 2000 (contest took place in Stockholm that year), in which he excited the crowd in the grand final. Also some other great ESC entries from Sweden that come to mind: Afro-Dite "Never Let It Go" (2002), Tomas Ledin "Just Nu!" (1980) & Bjorn Skifs "Fangad I En Drom" (1981). Some of the best ever for Sweden in the history of the event. This song might not be up there, but it is reasonable.
Up next: Sebalter "Hunter of Stars."
