Carola, who is widely tipped to win Melodifestivalen 2006 tonight, will not sing her song at today's dress rehearsal. The announcement was made moments ago at the press centre.
Although Carola will appear on stage, she will not sing Evighet live on stage. It is likely one of her backing vocalists will do the job.
In exact reason has not been given, but it is not unlikely that Carola is saving energy for tonight's performance. It would not be the first time an artist doesn't show up at a rehearsal because of health problems and gives a perfect performance at the live show…
The participants;
1. Andreas Johnson – Sing for me
2. Björn Kjellman – Älskar du livet
3. Linda Bengtzing – Jag ljuger så bra
4. The Poodles – Night of passion
5. Magnus Carlsson – Lev livet
6. Rednex – Mama take me home
7. Carola – Evighet
8. Magnus Bäcklund – The name of love
9. Kikki Danielsson – I dag & i morgon
10. BWO – Temple of love
Tonight's hotly anticipated broadcast of Melodifestivalen 2006 begins at 20:00 CET and will be shown on SVT and SVT Europa. According to SVT, the show will not be streamed live, but can be seen afterwards at melodifestivalen.se. The show can, however, be followed live through radio channel P4.
