Emmelie de Forest

When the audience left Malmö Arena after Eurovision 2013 they were met by a pre-made sign announcing Eurovision 2014 and pointing in the general direction of Copenhagen. This is how certain the Danish delegation were that they would win, but today's guest, the artist in question Emmelie de Forest, did not have that same confidence.In hindsight the win was obvious, with the perfect match of the singer and the song "Only Teardrops", a song that already had a history when it was presented to her, contained bagpipes and had been rejected in another country. Of course we get to hear this demo.What does she remember from Malmö, why has she never watched her own performance, why did she gain weight during the week, why was she barefoot and where did all her hair come from?We also speak about her other Eurovision attempts as a songwriter and learn about her drummer who handled his flute so well.Legend: Emmelie de ForestSongs: Only Teardrops (Denmark 2013) Never Give Up on You (United Kingdom 2017)Host: Emil LöfströmContact: emil@schlagervannerna.seInstagram Facebookhttp//www.eurovisionlegends.se Hosted on Acast.
