The best voice that ever appeared on a Eurovision Song Contest. Goodness, what a voice, what a breathcontrol, what a technique. Brilliant. And a very nice song too, I prefer the Swedish version though far above the English. In Swedish it almost sounds like a folksong. As usual these songs are too good, too melodious for song contests, but Ingvar Wixell is top class.
