I love it, but I think her other 2 entries are even better.
 
One of my all time favourite songs. I think her vocal on it is astonishing, even more so when you factor in that she was 16 at the time.
 
Tremendous. I think this could easily sit comfortably on ABBA Gold and more than hold its own against a fair few of the tracks on there - I LOVE how it switches between a dark and dramatic verse and a glittering sugar chorus. The vox is top notch as well :disco:
 
Absolutely gorgeous. The lyrics are so beautiful. Deservedly a Swedish classic. Her subsequent entries are all ace but far more throwaway. She never really topped this.
 
I like the Dutch version

It's my least favourite of her Eurovision entries, and fourth favourite of her MF entries.

I still like it though - the singing is awesome (naturally).

In terms of songwriting, I appreciate the ambitious way the verses and choruses are different in styles, but the transition between the two is a bit too jarring for me. I can't help but feel I'd prefer two separate songs.
 
Although bizarrely the Latvians from 2004 decided to do a Dutch version.

Stone cold classic. One of Sweden's signature tunes of the last 50 years along with e.g. Gabriella's Sang and several ABBA classics IMO.
 
Amazing Intro and verses, but Chorus is not my type. :swede:

QUITE BIG TITS
 
I was never very keen on it until THAT performance and mix appeared one fateful night in 2013, the combination of which still has the power to leave me ACTUALLY SHAKING AND CRYING :disco:

GOD SHE'S TREMENDOUS

What a song! :disco:

So many iconic renditions too. The IS IT A BIRD? IS IT A PLANE? medley from Melfest 2003 being my forever fave.
