Song of the Day: Charlotte Perrelli - The Girl
If there has been a more gleefully POP moment on TV anywhere in the world this year than this, I’d be very surprised. And definitely want to see it! Charlotte was one of the entrants to last night’s Melodifestivalen (Swedish Eurovision qualifiers) and shocked viewers by failing to make it through to the final or even the second chance round. It’s not unusual for great pop songs to miss out in Melodifestivalen as there are lots of granny voters and there is of course tough competition for those top spots, but to only come 5th out of 8 entrants was very unexpected considering a) it’s an amazing song that sounds like a very excitable ABBA and b) she’s won Eurovision before and won Melodifestivalen twice!
