Lena Philipsson, “It’s Hurt” , Istanbul 2004. That was the last Swedish song I liked/loved. That was 21 years ago. I never liked any of the Swedish songs afterwards. And don’t even start talking about the 3 Swedish winners, which I don’t think were even good songs(yes, this is including “Euphoria”, a rubbish of a song). All the Swedish entries for the last 21 years had 1 thing in common. They were more plastic than real songs. They had no soul in them.
And than comes a long this and I can say for the 1st time on 21 years that I love this song. It’s catchy and stick in your head , once you have heard it, you will never forget it. It has charm and character, it’s give you a warm feeling. It’s a fun song without being cheap. It put a smile on your face. Musically it’s not the most sophisticated composition, but sometimes,a simple song is all you need.
Won’t be a surprise of this will win the whole, although I am not sure anyone wants to have another Swedish Eurovision, so soon after their last hosting.
I think it will be a monster televoters magnet, but I am not sure how the jurries will react to it. Will they embrace it like they always embrace a Swedish song, or will it be too light for them.
