What a performance from Nanne Grönvall with her now most famous song and hit 'Avundsjuk' (Jealous) in 37th Melodifestivalen
contest in 1998. Strange but true Nanne only came 4 th this year with 35 points, as you watch this clip its
very clear to see how ahead of the times Peter Grönvall & Nanne Grönvall were. This song would have gone down a storm
in Eurovision today.
Yet the winner was the equally wonderful song wrote by Bobby Ljunggren & Ingela 'Pling' Forsman a ballad 'Kärleken är'
sung by a newcomer of 1998 Jill Johnson. The english title was 'Eternal Love' and infact the swedish original lyric
was inspired by the death of Princess Diana in 1997 in Paris.
This song became a Top 5 hit at home in Sweden and came 10 th in Eurovision Song Contest that year. It would be interesting
to see how Nanne would have done in 1998 if she had gone to met Dana International in ESC in Birmingham that year-
imagine these 2 Euro Diva's on the same night?
