Ola Svensson, known as Ola in the Swedish music scene, was yet another competitor on Swedish Idol in 2005. He ended up finishing eighth that year behind none other than Agnes. Since finishing on Idol, he has had eight top ten hits in Sweden, including four #1's - 2006's Rain, 2007's huge hit Natalie & S.O.S. and Sky's the Limit this past year in 2009.
It was announced in late 2009 that Ola would once again be taking part in Melodifestivalen 2010. Just missing out on the final in 2008 and coming off a #1 hit it seemed that his chances would be quite good. Unstoppable finished 2nd in the first semifinal and went directly to the finals ending up finishing in 7th place and not getting any points from the voting public.
Unstoppable has managed to reach #6 on the Swedish charts so far since its release and although at first listen I wasn't the biggest fan it certainly has grown on me. Ola's performance of the song isn't the best but despite that and the overly cheesy lyrics and references to Natalie from his previous hit, it's definitely worth a listen.
