Anna Bergendahl releases new single
Anna Bergendahl was the winner of Swedish Melodifestivalen in 2010 and went to Oslo with her song This is my life, which had been on top the Swedish single charts the day that the national final was held. In the second semi final, she finished eleventh thus becoming the first Swedish representative not to make it to the final since the introduction of the semi finals. However, she was seen in the top ten by the televoters.

BORING VIDEO!!!!
Good enough for Sweden , though
He still struggles with her choreorraphy and needs to learn how to move -
she really looks better in a boat!
Big deal!!
Thank Gosh we didn´t have to listen to one of the most annoying voices in the ESC, ever, in the grand final, this year.
If Sweden had picked Keep on walking instead of that horrible entry, Germany would have had som SERIOUS competition for the number one position.
Just just can't understand why the juries of Europe didn't go for Sweden this year? It was by far the best ballard in the contest
I hope this is a lesson to Sweden to send Salem Al Fakir if he decided to participate in MF.
hmm , i really hated her in esc and i was really happy when i watched her crying in the nrk video , sorry.
but this song and video clip is really really great.
What a beautiful song, like "This is my life". She deserves the final this year, was one of the my favourites. Huges and kisses from Lisbon, Portugal
glad to read so many good comments about anna , she was one of the best competitors in eurovision this year !! my dear sweden , send a great song next year once more as you do as always , you rock in esc !!! cant wait to watch their national selection (mf) again !!
btw when will it begin ?
I still don't like the vibrato in her voice regardless how good her songs are. 
Although I preferred other Melodifestivalen entries, and was disappointed when Anna made it through to the ESC, I've found that I really have warmed to her, and absolutely love the album!
I particularly like 'The Army'. It's both happy and sad, and I can feel my heart being pulled in two different directions when I listen to it, being both uplifted and close to tears at the same time. For me, that's the mark of a good song, and this girl has it. Bravo!
Back vocals were missing in the final part of the song. The should have come near Anna just like in performance on Melodifestivalen.
Final chorus could have been more powerful if they were all standing near each others.
Still, lovely song and performer and it was shame that jury didn't let Sweden to make it to the finals. Wish them all the luck next year. 
ya lmfao thank u anna for making song for me 2 months before i go to my army service its realy kind of u! xD
uhh i realy would liek to see agnes representing sweden i know i would vote for her.. i love this singer ^^
She has a good voice, but as usual - all her songs are boring, average pop and it is so deserved that her song didn't pass the semi.
yay. i like it 
Along with Lena, my favourite this year in ESC! I love her whole Album! Anna is the best!
good luck anna. sweden loves you-. we cant help europe has a bad taste..
I love Anna's voice. Good luck.
Anna Bergendahl was robbed this year and her album is fantastic. Nothing to add ... except: All the best for the future!
Big 4 buying qualification worked against Sweeden.
OMG, I just LOVE this 
Anna is such a beautiful, wonderful, talented girl with such an enjoyment for her music At least in my eyes. "The Army" is may her best song. Really enjoying her album I would have placed this song first this year if this was her MF-winning song Still such a shame that it failed to enter the final with "This is My Life" 
I really damned Europe that night! 
But things cool down though and I REALLY hope to see her keep on working with music Älskar dig och din musik, Anna, och önskar dig jätte mycket lycka til
Great video clip and a truly great song from anna bergendahl ! congrats !
she is talented and her esc rehearsals were impressive but in the 2nd semi..she was lost between other participants..I just knew she would not qualify when we saw all the performances and the people who where with me thought the same..she had very thin chances..
Anyway as long as she gets over her elimination exeperience it would be great to see her again in MF and eventually in esc !
And this truly great song WOULD qualify if it participated in esc !
Anna is good singer with personal voice. I still don`t understand why she was out of finale. Beautiful song and video.
wow! that's a great song. much better than her eurovision-entry that was duped out of tha final despite a top-10-position.
even I didn't really like this is my life, I defenitely wouldn't consider it as schlageroid or cheesy pop rather than an anxious singer/songwriter-amy-mcdonald-style try. contrary, these adjectives perfectly fit to at least the two swedish entries before.
Better than that god awful 'This is my Life'. One of the WORST this year IMO.
Sorry, I've never warmed to Anna at all. Nice Video if anything positive.
Angel look, angel voice.. well done Anna!
great song ANNA
WOW!! "The army" is fantastic!!!
