yes and maybe they got the song cos Lasse Stefanz didn't want to enter either xD lol it would be fum if Lars Kristerz also enterd 
And Johan, this explains why SVT will present only 7 artists on Tuesday !
I want: Pere Gessle, Petter Joback, Amanda Janssen (or Jenssen ?)
Johan Svanberg
I didn't watch "Dansbandskampen" but I read the news on SVT's website. So this means that Linda Bengtzing will not participate?
Hey guys xD one more for Melodifestivalen was knowd this night, they are called Scotts and got the song "Jag tror på oss", they've been in a show called Dansbandskampen and Björkman was in the public and offerd them a place in Melodifestivalen 2009 xD so now we know 10 songs and artists
I'm still hoping for Maia Hirasawa!
id like to bet that shirley clamp may be a wildcard. wouldnt be surprised if nanne tried one more time too
CORRECTION: The four wildcards are NOT competing directly in the final, as each of the first four semifinals will feature one wildcard entry.
Frighteningly familiar. It's just a shame only one can go to ESC.
I think Linda Bengtzing will participate as she sang "Jag tror på oss" on the demo 
There seems to be a rule stating that the person who sings on the demo has to perform it in MF.
For instance Lasse Stefanz who sang the demo version of "Den första kyssen" has apparently decided not to take part in MF and now the song may be disqualified.
Yeah Linda Bengtzing to moscow. But she needs to do better than last year, more fire and power in the song. ooh but it will be a hard competition, but one silver line : BWO and Alcazar in the final as groups. Shirley Clamp , Molly Sandén and Sarah Dawn Finer will send a ballad. So if there is a translation in english, she might have a change to end in the top 3. But Hero was a schlager, so maby they will vote more non-schlager. + i know I don't give the other names of the contestants, but you know I would be much harder to give Linda Bengtzing a leading position
Only seven? Why not eight?
I'm with Fruity and Aaron, back the Bengzing for Moscow!
and on my birthday too yay!!
and i'm with Fruity Metcalfe, i hope linda b is back!!!
BWO is back.. that's nice. I hope they have good song like last year. Can't wait for MF !!!
Bring back the Bengtzing!!!!!
