Today, esctoday.com continues its Melodifestivalen coverage with our next interview. Earlier this week, we spoke to newcomer, Emile Azar. Today, we meet a lady who last appeared on the show in 1987. Anna Book is returning to Melodifestvalen for the third time in 2007. She is without doubt one of the most bubbly personalities in the competition, with a huge smaile and a great desire to have some fun along the way.
The last time Anna appeared in Melodifestivalen was 20 years ago. In 1987, she perfomed the song Det en finns en morgondag, finishing in last place in the final. A year before that, she competed with the schlager classic, ABC. The song finished 4th in the comptetition, but went onto become one of the all time Melodifestivalen favourite and takes it's place on all Melodifestivalen hit compilations. Today esctoday.com caught up with Anna.
Find out why Anna decided to return to Melodifestivalen, what she is planning for the stage show, check out Anna's views on whether music can be truly competitive and how she would react to winning the competition. You can also view the promotional video to Anna's hit, ABC below.
