It is a direct response to the media coverage and the criticism that surrounded him last year. \u00abIt\u2019s my take on everything that happened back then,\u201d he explains, using the metaphor of a monster to regain control of his image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"p-rc_f016b2f5f83b3410-44\"><strong>A title tailor-made for the MGP:<\/strong> Unlike \u00abYou\u2019re mine \u00bb, <em>Frankenstein<\/em> was written specifically for the Melodi Grand Prix. Mileo hadn\u2019t planned on returning, but when the opportunity arose, he thought that, given the previous controversy, he now had \u00absomething to say \u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"p-rc_f016b2f5f83b3410-45\"><strong>An even crazier staging?<\/strong> Mileo promises to have pushed the boundaries even further. \u00abThere\u2019ll be things in the show that\u2019ll make you say: \u2018Oh, that\u2019s so cool' \u00bb,\u201d he teases with that mischievous smile of his.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Our opinion:<\/strong> Mileo isn\u2019t here to please everyone at any cost, and that\u2019s his greatest strength. He embraces his \u00abnaughty pop\u2019 style, which is both endearing and offbeat, and his dark, quirky humour.
