Sweden: Robin Bengtsson happy to open the show

Robin Bengtsson is happy to be the opening act in the first semi final with his song ‘I can’t go on’ for Sweden. “It really suits the show, a cool start, starting backstage,” he says at his press conference in Kiev.

“As for the semi final, I feel really good about opening the show,” Bengtsson explains. “It really suits the show, a cool start, starting backstage. For the final I don’t know what is best. I am not that into the statistics and there is nothing I can do about it.”

Robin Bengtsson is one of the main favourites to win the contest in Ukraine, this year. But he is being quite modest about that role: “It is not up to us artists to decide who is worthy for the win and who is not. That is up to the audience.”
