Melodifestivalen 2009 Semi Final Artists announced

[Lars]

thanks Lars
i will work a way out

Lovely!

[Jake]

SIW is my mate Rich's favourite person ever at the moment. He loves her in the MF2004 final performance which he managed to stumble on somehow. I then explained who and why and the rest is history

[Lars]

Oh my god. Jake gets a hot gay, I get SIW MALMQVIST. I really need to sort my priorities out.

Thanks though Lars!

You'll get a hot gay next time!

That's too funny.

[RobotBoy]

YAY for Marie. Can she actually sing? I don't want her to epic fail but i can already see it.

Remember they're allowed backing vocals on the track this year!

[Lars]

I just can't believe how strong the line-up looks.

The shock bomb of the year = BWO

Already been said, but i think it will happen.

BWO with a ballad makes me really worried to be frank.

[Lars]

Remember they're allowed backing vocals on the track this year!

That will save her pretty face.

[Jake]

Remember they're allowed backing vocals on the track this year!

That is ok for the likes of Eggnog

But i really fear that Marie can't sing at all.

It just screams of a total car-crash. Which i will love, and yet weep inside.

[Lars]

I may be the only one in here but I'm really excited about Emilia's comeback.

[Jake]

BWO with a ballad makes me really worried to be frank.

In what way? Good or bad?

[Lars]

Poor The Nicole, she should have waited another year to enter.

[Jake]

Var Minut is just lovely. Another song like that will make me a very happy person.

[Lars]

In what way? Good or bad?

Bad I'm afraid.

[VoR]

I'm VERY excited for Emilia. I fear she's a bit B-List to get to Globen, but Var Minut and Sång Om Kärleken are gorgeous. I do wish she was singing in Swedish though, her voice is much less irritating in her native tongue.

[Jake]

I only like 'Will My Arms...'ballad wise.
I want them to bomb after they slagged alien face. SCHLAGER REVOLUTION

[Lars]

I'm VERY excited for Emilia. I fear she's a bit B-List to get to Globen, but Var Minut and Sång Om Kärleken are gorgeous. I do wish she was singing in Swedish though, her voice is much less irritating in her native tongue.

I haven't even heard those songs.

I was feeling a bit nostalgic when I heard she was entering next year. I love Big Big World.

[VoR]

Var Minut was a #2 hit in Sweden Lars. And a proper one, not an "in at #2 one week and down to #58 the next" type (Hello Alcazar and associated solo members).

[Jake]

Ace video. Reminds me of that 'Private Emotion' Ricky Martin video. Just because of the fire probably.

[Lars]

I feel a bit like a fool now but I've never heard it. I just listened now and it's quite lovely.

[Jake]

It came on the old iPod the other day on my way to work. Walking through the snow, freezing cold and yet a totally WONDERFUL moment.

[Suomi]

it's a straightfoward cover of a song by a Danish singer called...i forget


anyway, I've never really given that Swedish album a chance but I like it muchly.


While we're on the B-List , does anyone here like Jennifer Brown ? I have both her albums for some reason, and they are pretty good for what they are. I recommend: "Tuesday Afternoon" , "Weak" and "Trouble In Mind"

[Lars]

I used to love Jennifer back in the 90s, she was quite the it girl back then. And then she kind of just vanished. It's a shame because she's a great singer. Apart from the songs Suomi mentioned, I think "My Everything" is essential.

[Madison]

[Lars]

You're a wizzard, Mads.

[Jake]

Thank you Madison. I will have a word with baby Jesus to let you into heaven now.

[Madison]

No need - I have faith in Carola. Jesus is so two millenia ago.

[Toyah]

Still PRAYING on my other prediction of Victoria Silvstedt coming true!

[Jake]

Where are Cosmo4?

[Madison]

Come on random Katrina and the Nameless-like entry

[Lars]

Still PRAYING on my other prediction of Victoria Silvstedt coming true!

That would be beyond fabulous!

[Lars]

Come on random Katrina and the Nameless-like entry

[Lars]

I wonder what Caroline Wennergren is up to these days. She can't be that busy can she?

[David]

Maybe she's a crackwhore?

[Lars]

If only.

[Jake]

Who do we think the wildcard will be?

Surely all the money is on Danny? It is either that or a group...there is a distinct lack of girl groups. I pray to God Face 237836948 don't enter again. DULL AS FUCK.

[RobotBoy]

She's amazing but she's no Towa Carson!

Actually, whilst you're here Lars, can you give me the lowdown on Towa? I downloaded her Greatest Hits and I love some of it! She's great. Such a lovely old lady. What's her story?

[Lars]

It must be Danny. Especially now when Ola is out.

[A*Teen]

Victoria Silvtedt would be amazing. But she's 'busy' doing her reality show for Channel E! at the mo.

I'd love to see her at MF one year though.

Peter Bostrom who's doing Marie's 'Disconnect Me' did Victoria's 'Hello Hey' back in the day!

[VoR]

I'm still PRAYING for Sandra Dahlberg. Surely by now she needs the money?

Failing that, Nana Hedin please.

[Jake]

Is it true Monica Zetterlund died in an accident because she couldn't get her wheelchair out of the hotel she was in ?
I love 'En Gang I Stockholm'...is there anything else i NEED to hear from her?
