The six time Melodifestivalen star, who will be competing shortly in the contest for her 7th attempt with the track Undo talks about being the favourite to win the whole competition.

Sanna Nielsen is an established star in her native Sweden. She first entered Melodifestivalen back in 2001 and her best placing was with Empty Room at the 2008 final at the Globen. Her entry in 2014 with the Fredrik Kempe track Undo will see Nielsen’s seventh attempt to lift the trophy.

In a recent interview with SVT Nielsen talks about how her entry is being touted as the favourite to walk away with the prize and win the golden ticket to represent the Swedish nation at the 59th Eurovision Song Contest in Copenhagen this May.

She is quoted as saying “I never take anything for granted”. What can be assured is that the 2008 runner up and people’s choice will certainly be going in with what promises to be a strong ballad which she describes as “I can say that I will go in and just be me. I want people to really listen to this text and melody, I want to try to convey the feelings that the song actually says”.
