Pernilla Wahlgren and Peter Jöback are both old professional singers. But in this weekly song contest "Melodifestivalen" you have to make the audience feel something - at once.
The young singer Anna Bergendahl was absolutely the best one. She made me shiver. She was georgious. Hope she beats Pernilla. Pernilla is middleaged and she has dominated the musical scenes in Stockholm for the last thirty years or so. It's enough now...
I'm sure the audience out in the country vote on their old stars. But on the other hand, they like "dans-band", the music that typically is played at large local fairs and that people dans foxtrot and bugg/jive to. What can you expect?
Or as the kids say, the result is decided by the record companies. Let's hope Anna has got a record company that will pay for some votes for her...
