The hostess has landed Malmö 2013 Eurovision. Stylish. Elegant. Popular. Down-to-earth. Extremely talented. Warm. Unpredictable. Funny. Spomtaneus. Critizised. Petra Mede is all that and more.
Her demands in her rider for the backroom have made the headlines but it all was rather a misunderstanding, all she ever wanted was something where to bath her baby.
Her role model for the part is Lill Lindfors, the legendary hostess back in 1985 but we can't expect similar wardrobe shocker as these days it's forbidden in the rules. She may have something else in her sleeve though. She says her goes is to lead the show in an exciting, funny way and bring the boys home, so to speak. She'll be alone and will alternate between being funny and serious, depending on the situation. The script will be developed and changed until the very last moment with Edward af Sillén and Daniel Rehn. She says she will do the hosting in Swedish, English and a little bit of French thrown in. But she might also throw in frases in othe languages as well, beware!
A lot of humor will be all through the shows and she recently said in an interview: "I like making things big, bigger the better. Gaygalan or Eurovision, important is that it's huge! In Eurovision there isn't much free space to be spontaneous and let it go, but who knows? Maybe I just throw it all away in the end and turn on the autopilot? The little devil in me would love to do just that, I'd love to do something no one knew beforehand! But that might make Edward (af Sillén) and Christer (Björkman) cry..." This blogger can't wait to see her in action!
