Background

As was usual with Luxembourg, Melsen's Eurovision song, "Pomme, pomme, pomme" ("Apple, Apple, Apple"), was chosen internally by broadcaster Télé Luxembourg without having to go through a public or jury selection process. "Pomme, pomme, pomme" went to the 16th Eurovision Song Contest, held on April 3 in Dublin, where it finished in 13th place of 18 entries.[1][2]

In recent years, Melsen has been a member of Cabarenert, a Luxembourg-based cabaret ensemble.[3]
