Sweden – Ellen Benediktson is fast becoming one of he favourites to win Melodifestivalen this year since her automatic qualification to the final 2 weeks ago. However we thought you should see how far she has progressed since her appearance at Eurovision 2013?
Last year SVT (Swedish National Broadcaster) used students from a local high school to perform the artists songs in some of the camera rehearsals. Ellen performed the French entry in rehearsals and had to learn French for the performance. Here she is performing Amandine Bourgeois’ – “L’enfer Et Moi”

It was during this rehearsal that she came to the attention of record companies and SVT and one year later – she is in the Melodifestivalen Grand Final.

She “had to learn French for the performance”… Did she really?
I don’t get the impression she understood what she was singing about. She sings it so “sweetly”…
It did not seem Amandine’s song was her genre specialty, but she absolutely shines in Melodifestivalen!!!
