Carola, Sweden 1983, 1991, 2006

Eager for fourth victory

Carola: I could be back in 2008

Last year she swept to the victory taking the prize from Andreas Johnsson and Bodies Without Organs. Tomorrow night she might give the award to the very same man a year later. “If I was asked I would consider it, I think it would be fun. I have already been sent songs” answered Carola to the question if she would participate again in Melodifestivalen. That could happen already in 2008 as a wildcard.

Carola confirms she might be after her fourth victory in Melodifestivalen already next year. “If I only get a really good song. It could be a ballad as well” she says. “It could as well be next year. I have been asked to be a wildcard before and if I am asked again and the song is the right one I would say yes” she concludes.

Tonight she will give the award to the winner of Melodifestivalen 2007. She has won the Swedish selection already three times: in 1983 with Främling (3rd in Munich), in 1991 with Fångad av en stormvind (winner in Rome) and last year with Evighet/Invincible, that gained her 5th place in Athens. This winning song will not be sung by Carola tomorrow night though, but by Tomas Anderson Wij to open the show. He covered the song already before Athens final and has had a hit with it as well.

I think Its great that she wants to compet again :)

And to all of you who says that she is homofobic. Do you still belive that after she talked to esctoday last year, and that her closets friends are actually gay!

I get so tired of everyone that keeps nagging on this topic!

To "When is West Europe going to win Eurovision again?"

Carola is not a [i]one hit wonder[/i]:
1983 - Främling 3rd place
1991 - Fångad av en stormvind 1st place
2006 - Invincible 4th place

hmm... I'm not so sure it'd be a good idea. Carola has made wonderful performances in the contest and is surely one of it's best icons... It's not wise to risk that reputation.

Sorry.... we Eurovision fans have suffered enough of Carola..... Let us pray that God has some mercy on us........ That Carola will never enter the Eurovision again. Let us hope that God will be not that cruel to the European audience again....... and let's make Cruella Hakkvist....... "Invisible"

Amen

Well, maybe is what Sweden needs after the bad choice of this year.

It's bad enough that she robbed Amina of victory and stopped BWO singing for Sweden last year. 3 times is enough,... and her presence at Melodifestivalen will make it a one horse race again. Even Jesus was only resurrected once!

No, Carola, don´t come back next year and ruin another MF. Spend your time reading your Bible and checking your bank account instead. Melodifestivalen needs new faces, not old dinosaurs.

And Amina was waaaaayyyy better than you....... (H)

I hereby solemnly swear that I will NOT vote for Carola should she participate again and that I will do my utmost to prevent friends and family from doing so, including bribes, sexual favours and/or death threats. She must be stopped.

@Morgan Trouillet

I small comfort: Holland gave Amina the deserved 12 points...... and Amina was mentioned and got a lot of Air-play after the ESC in Holland.

The Dutch people certainly did not like and want that screaming-anti-gay girl......

And please let us pray that Carola will never enter the Eurovision again. Let us hope that God will be not that cruel to the European audience again....... and let's make Cruella Hakkvist....... "Invisible"

@Peter Eriksson

Sorry Peter.... europe loves carola?????? Well maybe the Swedes but outside Sweden she is -if she is lucky- just one of those one-day-hitwonders- who sang once in the ESC a song called "Främling", the other two songs........??????

Europeans cannot remember her....... In case they do...... as the anti-gay-fridge from Sweden LOL

Oh no thanx. I´d rather see new, fresh faces in Melodifestivalen.

The ESC feels so empty without Carola, I hope she comes back!

No matter what the most of the members on this website says and they are just haters who can't forgive, and people who are like that is one of the worst kind of people in the world.
Anyway, in Europe we still love her. And we will vote for her as long as she have a good song in the contest!
