Melodifestivalen and Eurovision-2009

[Out]

Yep, Aftonbladet is one of the biggest swedish newspapers, they try to publish facts those they are sure in, so I believe this list of artists is right at least 90-95% and nothing will change.

"Tuesday Afternoon" is great song, I like "Alive" as well, it was mixed by Paul Van Dyk and this mix "We Are Alive" became really big hit, I guess everyone heard it.

[Feelgoodlies]

What is  Aftonbladet?!

There are quite good artists there, I'm excited to hear their songs.

It is the name of a famous Swedish newspaper! You can read it for free in the subway!

Oh thanks Sabine... but I can't read it unless it's in English

Oh lol, actually it's the same for me! But by "reading" I meant more "staring at the pics in a dumb way"! 

[Feelgoodlies]

Oh I heard that Marie Serneholt will be there in this year's Melodiefestivalen, I hope it's a great song.

[*Sabine*]

Thanks so much for this list! My fave: Marie, Amy, Emilia, Markus, Alcazar and Velvet. Did Nana Hedin retire? 

[Feelgoodlies]

Oh I can't wait for the Marie and Velvet songs, we shall be able to hear the songs in Feb no?!

[Alex Martin]

The winner will beeeeee:Rigo and The Topaz Sound feat. Red Fox - I Got You

[Out]

Haha, yes, Rigo is obvious winner 

Unofficial list above was confirmed but Becker/Star Pilots and joker.

Well, I have a question for swedish speaking people.
Blog Schlagerprofilerna always knows more than others and today they gave a riddle to readers.

Efter många turer fram och tillbaka blir sista jokern **o***l*a**a. Låten är på engelska, men hade på svenska hetat något i stil med l**d**s*f**n (även om vi inte tror den handlar om **n**a**s*a**e*) och den stora nyheten (som vi misstänker Expressen och Aftonbladet kommer kasta sig över) är att det ryktas att det är ingen mindre än *it**k**e* och **o*-*e**r*nt***n **r*e* ****s**n som har skrivit den!

Vad gäller Higher så verkar det bli **t*k**v**e* ***l* som framför den!

I think that **o***l*a**a = idolkillarna (Idol-band EMD) and *it**k**e* och **o*-*e**r*nt***n **r*e* ****s**n = hitmaker (something like this) och Idol-*e**r*nt***n **r*e* Carlsson (Andreas). Maybe someone who knows swedish good can guess it better, it would be great to get Andreas's song.

[Alex Martin]

RIGO for sure!!!!

[Out]

Did Nana Hedin retire? 

By the way I'd like her to see again, but she appears on TV less and less, however this year we have another E-Type's backsinger and I love her even more 

we shall be able to hear the songs in Feb no?!

Yes, only the day before semifinal
