Melodifestivalen 2018: Interview with Jessica Andersson

Jessica Andersson (Melodifestivalen 2018) "Party Voice" with JP

Melodifestivalen is Sweden's national televised music competition to find the best new song of the year. The winner of the competition then goes on to represent Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest. Twenty-eight acts go through four Semi Finals and a Second Chance round before the top twelve go into the Grand Final of Melodifestivalen 2018, held once again at the Friends Arena in Solna (near Stockholm) in front of a live audience of almost 30000 spectators, plus millions of TV viewers both in Sweden and abroad.

Since 2009, Radio International has been present each year at the Melodifestivalen Grand Final rehearsals and interviews the artists, the producer and the hosts.

In this clip, we talk to Jessica Andersson, starting fifth in Melodifestivalen 2018 with the song "Party Voice". Jessica already represented Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest 2003 with her singing partner Magnus Backlund collectively known as Fame and the song "Give me your love" reaching Number 5 in Riga.
