Sweden: first Melodifestivalen names next Tuesday
In October, 28 of the 32 songs in the selection along with the respective songwriters were revealed. Many rumours have been spread regarding the performers, however none of them has been confirmed. As every year, four songs will be added as 'wildcards'.
- You can find the 28 song titles already revealed here.
Eight songs will compete in each heat. The duels previously used in the second chance round will be featured already in each heat. Out of the five songs that go through to the second round of voting, the song with the biggest number of votes will face the one in fourth place in a sing-off, and number two and three will similarly face each other. The winner of each sing-off will go directly to the final in Globen, whereas the loser will get another try in the second chance round.

I'm most excited about Linda But also Velvet . . I really really hope she reaches the final this year or even goes to Moscow!? (depending on the song ofcourse)

I'm almost positive that the artists you mention will participate in MF 2009 
I can't wait to Tuesday!!!!!! This is exciting! I hope Alcazar, BWO, Shirley amd Måns will participate in MF 2009.
I hope for Molly Sandén, Elin Lanto, Sanna Nielsen or Magnus Carlsson... That would be perfect.
the Gothenburg line up must contain Linda, BWO, Molly, Mans,Sonja or all of them.. not flyying all that way to see martin stenmarck thats for sure....
Can't wait! Hopefully Linda will be somewhere there, BWO, Molly Sanden, Velvet . . . . all those really cool artists!
I can't wait for Tuesday. I hope the line-up in Gothenburg will be great
You want Måns to win, even if you've not even heard his song. Well, then it's not about the song, isn't it?!
I think the best song deserves to win.
Måns Zelmerlöw for Hope and Glory!!!!^^ And for Sweden and the WIN^^
Can't wait. Although I'm pretty sure it'll be close to what the tabloids have guessed.
It will be the ones always taking part and/or those without a chance of winning the MF anyway.
i bet it ll be the 8 from semi final 1
How strange, why only 8...will this be the 8 from the first semi final or just random?
I hope Velvet for "The Queen"!
November 18th is my B-Day!!! What a wonderful gift from SVT!
