MF 2012: CHARLOTTE HAS A NEW SITE
Either you love her or hate her, yes it’s true and don’t start moaning in the comments below. Charlotte Perelli is bidding again to represent Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest and bring one more trophy to Sweden. She is completely revamped from hair to toe, including a brand new website.
Let’s read now what she said to the special edition of QX for 2012 Melodifestivalen. (Photos and text are sourced by qx.se).
What made you return this year?
The song. I would never have thrown my hat in the ring if the song hadn’t been
great. That doesn’t mean to say it’ll do well in the contest, but I personally think
that The Girl is stronger than Hero. I also think it’ll stick around after MF – that’s
the whole point for me, as I’m coming back with a new album and style.
How did you find The Girl?
I met [Fredrik] Kempe at Peter Jöback’s 40th birthday party, and he said to me:
“Charlotte, I’ve cracked it – I’ve got the perfect song for your comeback.” So I
went home with him and listened to the track. Straight away I knew [Fredrik] was
right, yet again! When my son, Angelo, could sing the song after hearing it just
once, then I knew it was the right choice.
Are you in it to win it, or just hoping for a new song to add to your collection?
You shouldn’t enter if you don’t think you’ve got a chance of winning. But
victory isn’t really what’s pushing me. Having the chance to showcase my new
album is an important opportunity – you don’t get three minutes’ worth of TV
with such a big audience anywhere else.
Describe your song in three words…
Clubby, energetic and positive.
Can you give us any hints about the staging?
The image is girly and youthful – my look will be more edgy than before.
Any hints about your outfit?
I’ve got a designer in Gothenburg and a couturier in Stockholm. The outfit
looks great – even if it’s going to cost a fortune!
