Stockholm, yep that's another one which is very good! 
I wanna know artist, do you know some of them... when it will be on this site?
I think Andreas Johnson song will be performed in a duet, this tittle really says that, I really doubt Carola will try again with him, but maybe... Sarah Dawn Finer, Pernilla or maybe... Lena Ph?
The Former TIMSRITNS
"And let's not forget he has also made another song for MF he can be proud of ..."
In my opinion "As if tomorrow will never come" is the best MF entry by Gson 
Night Editor, yes, not all is lost on the schlager front. But we can always hope for quality....!
Lena, you say Sweden rocks? Well, if only they did!
Ah, some sour grapes about Sweden. Despite their cheesy tradition of banal schlagers, and overly done performances (ESC is about MUSIC!), I do follow their semis and finals with great interest, mostly because they put so much effort into it - they LOVE everything around ESC, and it's all to their credit! But no way their finals are more "imporant" or "better" than what lots of other countries come up with. Many good songs yes - but so is the case with all countries.
Despite the inclusion of rather tepid names as Kiempe and the likes, there is at least "only" one song involving G'son this year. And his two good (!) songs last years proved that even he can produce music with quality content. And let's not forget he has also made another song for MF he can be proud of - "What Difference Does It Make?", the brilliant punk poprock song, which was one of the best selling songs of the MF 02 procedure.
Some of the songs titles - if they are anything to go by, shows at least hints of originality and something "more" and maybe deeper - at least diverse musical. Is Sweden moving away from the schlager style? We can always hope, that they have found out we DO live in 2009, that schlagers that sound old-fashioned must sooner or later come to and end, and that ESC should be about "usual" pop and rock music - not some contrived made up stuff, done 50 times before....
Good luck Sweden!
Heia Andreas Johnson!!
didnt make it in 2008.. Hope for a great comeback now
No Ingela 'Pling' Forsmann? Has SVT gone mad! ;-) Still, at least we still have the ubiquitous Bobby Ljunngren and Thomas G'Son so all's not lost for 2010 on the schlager front.
Had heard Ace of Base to be competing for a ticket in 2010... must have heard wrong then?
Don't know any of these artists... so I'll see what brings in Oslo ;-)
"12 points to sweden for the most overused and boring titles ever presented in a national selection. I'm losing hope."
Very true .. "Hur kan jag tro på kärleken?" that title is SOOOOOO overused lol.
Honestly I dont know how people can judge songs just based upon the titles? If we just take the winner of this years winner (Fairytale incase anybodys been living under a rock!) it hardly sounds exciting, and the same for Is it true?, and especially Always 
Lets wait until the songs guys
Let the part beginnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!
Sweden rocks!
How did Barry get to be on jury? Hope the songs are decent
Never judge a book by its cover 
the titles may seem boring and typical but the songs themselves might be great
Adonis
First of all sweden have a high popuration of greeks.
AND TO EVERYONE
You cant say a song is boring untill u hear the songs 
thats just lame ....
12 points to sweden for the most overused and boring titles ever presented in a national selection. I'm losing hope.
Good Luck for 2010 Sweden 
i agree that many titles sound typical and boring and many composers have been around already.. "manboy" ? maybe it will AGAIN as all Kempe's songs go last and win anyway..
Im so sad no sanna neither sonja...What are they waiting for?
We only need 1 really good song.... go go go Sverige
@ Fire Tale
They have also been writing for Alcazar's last album..it could be them too
@ Hr. Kraft: In the 2006 Norwegian selection, there was only one song in Norwegian, and it won! And don't forget that songs in Swedish won MF in both 2004 and 2006. However, I'm sure that if a song in Swedish wins MF, it will be performed in English in ESC.
Some typical titles:
- We Can Work It Out
- Unstopable
- I Did it for Love
- Tonight
- Stop
- and übertypical : THIS IS MY LIFE
Interesting:
- Road Salt
- Manipulated (although in some way this one could be typical)
- Headlines
- Thursdays
- Idiot
Go Sweden xD
Just about 1 of 3 entries is in swedish. Doesn't look good for us who want a song in swedish for Sweden in 2010.
Kempe again....G on again....*sick*
Tonight, m & l: Sharon Vaughn, Anders Hansson
and who are these songwritters currently writing for?
http://en.wikipedia.(...)/wiki/Dance_Love_Pop
there is the first artist Agnes
"Stop, m & l: Mikaela Stenström, Dimitri Stassos"
dimitri stassos? hmmmm...maybe there is some greek after all
@ Layla
haha. i know. but it's so entertaining to see greek in MF. and Alla last year was an amazing song.
@Adonis The Great
Maybe because it's Sweden, not Greece.
