Saturday Reject: Linda Bengtzing – E Det Fel På Mig

Imagine a typical Swedish Eurovision entry. This is pretty much it.

Tim: Imagine a typical Swedish Eurovision entry. This is pretty much it.

Tom: Blimey, that is textbook, isn’t it? That could be any regular Scandinavian Eurovision entry in the last decade or two.

Tim: Interesting result for this one: despite doing fairly well with the international juries, it got barely 3% of the telephone vote in the final of Melodifestivalen, which is a shame, especially since it came top of its heat.

Tom: I can see that happening: it’s one that could get picked as the best of its kind, only to seem a bit generic when it hits the final.

Tim: With the quick fake ending and then the key change, this is a brilliant piece of schlager, and I love it. Throw in the bright clothing, the wind machine and the upside-down camera, this is a performance that I reckon was robbed of a decent placing.

Tom: I was wondering where the wind machine was when the song started. I wasn’t disappointed.
