It’s really great to see Linda Bengtzing back in Melodifestivalen. This will be her fourth participation and going by the song’s composers, it is going to be one massive schlager anthem. Another composer that caught my attention is Alexander Bard. The rest of the artists will be making their debut and represent a wide variety of musical genres.
Linda is so glad to her qualifiing that it’s hard not to be happy for her though I don’t know what to expect from authors of Jag vill om du vågar (didn’t like it).
I quite liked the song, but then again, it was the ONLY true schlager song this year, so maybe I latched on to it like a drowning sailor to a lifeline just to get my schlager fix.
I’m hoping the authors have some dimensionality and give Linda the chance at success she so richly deserves!
