Singer <strong>Anna Book<\/strong> enters the competition for the fourth time, after competing in 1986, 1987 and 2007.<\/p>\n<p>She will perform the Swedish song <em>Himmel for tv\u00e5<\/em>, written and composed by Sven-Inge Sj\u00f6berg, Lennart Wastesson, Larry Forsberg and Camilla L\u00e4ckberg<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube\" data-embed=\"DyzmJLzHhxM\" data-time=\"0\">\n<div class=\"play-button\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"play-button\" alt=\"play\" src=\"https:\/\/songfestival.be\/wp-content\/themes\/songfestival\/img\/play.svg\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>This clip shows striking <strong>similarities <\/strong>with the song <em>Taking Care of a Broken Heart<\/em>, from singer Felicia Dunaf. She competed two years ago in the national preselection of Moldova, but didn&#8217;t make it to the live shows. This song had also four composers, two of them were Sven-Inge Sj\u00f6berg en Larry Forsberg.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube\" data-embed=\"cLKNI8YwEWw\" data-time=\"0\">\n<div class=\"play-button\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"play-button\" alt=\"play\" src=\"https:\/\/songfestival.be\/wp-content\/themes\/songfestival\/img\/play.svg\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Update:<\/strong> Anna Book&#8217;s song has been disqualified. During a press conference Christer Bj\u00f6rkman said it is very important that competing songs are not published before the approval of SVT. Consequently, the preliminary this Saturday will contain only six songs. A journalist asked if the performance will be replaced, but less than 48 hours before broadcast, this is not feasible.<\/p>\n<p>The singer was asked to perform in the interval act, but she didn&#8217;t confirm yet if she will accept the invitation. According to Bj\u00f6rkman she is still &#8216;<strong>too shocked&#8217; <\/strong>to react.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The song of Anna Book shares composers and striking similarities with a Moldovan song.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1447,368],"tags":[862,831,35,1342,1343,178,44],"class_list":["post-4392","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-lang_en","category-se","tag-anna-book","tag-melfest","tag-melodifestivalen","tag-plagiaat","tag-sverige","tag-sweden","tag-zweden"],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"3.0.2","language":"en","enabled_languages":["nl","fr","en"],"languages":{"nl":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":true},"fr":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":true},"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":true}}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/songfestival.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4392","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/songfestival.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/songfestival.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/songfestival.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/songfestival.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4392"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/songfestival.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4392\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/songfestival.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4392"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/songfestival.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4392"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/songfestival.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4392"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
