..it's Offical now-Elisabeth Andreassen will be back as part of Melodifestivalen 2011

- Elisabeth & Alexander Rybak on tour together in 2009


There has been stories in the swedish press- Will she? Won't she? The Queen of schlager in Norway Elisabeth Andreassen well known as one half of Bobbysocks who won Eurovision 1985 with 'Let it Swing' In fact Bettran (as she is know) has the best track record in Eurovision that any woman, she has competed in ESC 4 times (equal record with Swiss winner Lyn Assia ) she was part of Swedish dansband Chips from 1980- and sang Day after Day with Kikki Danielsson in 1982. She has also dueted with Jan Werner Daneilsen for Norway in 1994- Then solo in Eurovision 1996
with 'I evighet' when Bettran finished in 2nd place.

Interview by Expressen she told us 'Since Melodifestivalen 2003 when I sung 'Ven e du vill ha' I've been offered to sing song's every yearBut the song must be the right tune, I have been through and won so much that not all songs suit me the best "
Only in 2010 everything worked out in a new song 'Vaken i en drom' Its sure great to see Bettran back at last- it's a massive mission to win through Melodifestivalen to compete in Eurovision but if anyone is well qualified Elisabeth Andreassen could do it!
We cannot wait to hear the song...
