About Linda Bengtzing

Linda Bengtzing grew up in a small village called Gullspång in western Sweden. She released her first two songs in 1987 and 1989. After that, she took a break from music for about 15 years.

In 2004, Linda joined the TV show Fame Factory. This show helped new singers become famous. At the same time, her song "Alla flickor" was chosen for Melodifestivalen 2005. This was a big surprise for everyone!

Melodifestivalen Success

Linda's song "Alla flickor" did very well in Melodifestivalen 2005. She made it to the final round after getting enough votes in the 'Andra Chansen' (Second Chance) round. In the final, she finished in last place, but her song became popular. It reached number 8 on the Swedish music charts. A few months later, another song called "Diamanter" reached number 32.

One year later, Linda returned to Melodifestivalen 2006. Her song, "Jag ljuger så bra," was originally written for another singer. It did very well in its first round and went straight to the final. In the final, Linda's song came in seventh place. Even though she didn't win, the song became her biggest hit. It reached number 2 on the Swedish charts!

Before the 2006 final, Linda released her first album, "Ingenting att förlora." It reached number 4 on the album charts. Later, another song from the album, "Kan du se," also became a hit, reaching number 7.

More Melodifestivalen and New Music

In 2007, Linda released a new song called "Värsta schlagern." This song was a funny take on traditional Melodifestivalen songs. She sang it as a duet with Markoolio.

Linda competed in Melodifestivalen 2008 with the song "Hur svårt kan det va?" She went straight to the final again and finished in fifth place. Her second album, "Vild & Galen," was released around the same time.

In 2009, Linda recorded a song called "Victorious." It was meant for Melodifestivalen 2010 but wasn't chosen. She later released it as a duet with her friend, the singer Velvet. The song came out digitally in 2010, and a music video was filmed in Los Angeles.

Linda continued to compete in Melodifestivalen. In 2011, she sang "E de fel på mig?" In 2014, she tried again with "Ta mig," but for the first time, she didn't make it to the final.

Two years later, she was back for Melodifestivalen 2016 with "Killer Girl." This time, she finished last in her round and didn't qualify.

Her song "Alla mina sorger" was part of Melodifestivalen 2020. She performed it in her heat but didn't make it to the final.

Linda's most recent appearance in the competition was with "Fyrfaldigt hurra!" at Melodifestivalen 2022. She performed it in her heat and finished fifth, which meant she didn't move on to the final.
