Wild for Peter Jöback?


Sweden has announced another wildcard contender for Melodifestivalen 2010. It's Peter Jöback, who's pretty big in the Nordic countries.

Eurovision Express knows him primarily for his fantastic collaboration with 1995 Eurovision winners, Secret Garden. On their album, Inside I'm Singing, he takes lead vocal on Thank You (below). If his MF song, Hollow, is anywhere near as good as that, we're in for a treat.


Peter's MF song is written Anders Hansson (who wrote Alcastar, Temple of Love and Lay Your Love On Me, amongst other previous MF entries) and Fredrik Kempe, who of course, has been behind Sweden 2 most recent Eurovision entries.

Peter is also well connected to Eurovision royalty, Benny and Björn from ABBA, having created the role of Robert in B+B's musical Kristina.

We reckon Peter's going to be hot favourite to win MF 2010....and we'll be throwing a few quid on him as soon as betting opens!
