Meet Sweden's Eurovision 2021 act Tusse who will sing Voices
Will this be Sweden's year? Tusse certainly hopes so.
Sweden is hoping to make a mark on Eurovision 2021 and they have chosen the artist Tusse to represent them in the contest. And he is a good choice for them so far as he did enough on the night of the first Eurovision 2021 semi-finals to progress through to the grand final itself.
Having won the Melodifestivalen 2021 that nabbed him the spot on Eurovision, he will now have a few days to practice the routine all over again for the final and while we were not massive fans of the song, there is no denying he has an impressive voice.
But does he have what it takes to end up winning the whole contest for Sweden?

Why was Eurovision 2020 cancelled?
COVID really did bring the world to a standstill in 2020 and even The Eurovision Song Contest was not able to carry on as normal - bleak times indeed!
Instead, we had shows that put the focus on classic acts and performances, Shine a Light and Eurovision Come Together, and while we were grateful to at least get some Eurovision in our 2020 lives, it was not the same and the 2021 contest could not come fast enough.
