Re: SWEDEN 2012
And I'm really fed up that people try to classify Eurovision.
Boo-f*ckn-hoo!There are more than 800 million people with different tastes and 790 mil. of them do not vote
ESC-style? Which style is ESC style? We've seen all of them at ESC so which one? Songs made esp for Eurovision? And these are...
It's all extremely subjective and it doesn't make any sense.
ESC is for all styles. Period.
MF tries to be diverse too and I'm happy that it's not about commercial/mainstream blah blah blah only.
Yep, all 3 were set in the Stone Age

1) One entry is selected via an online “joker” (Webbjoker) contest. SVT only require a sound file, as it will be the tune (rather than the artist) that competes. Entries are to be submitted by uploading a sound file to svt.se between 1-20 September.
2) A panel of judges selects 16 entries from amongst the submissions for the Regular contest. In this case, both lyrics and music must have been written by a composer/team of composers who already have had works published. Entries are to be submitted by uploading a sound file to svt.se between 1-20 September.
3) The remaining 15 contestants comprise special invitations made by SVT or entries that SVT has
selected amongst the submissions.

Re: SWEDEN 2012
In an interview in swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, Elena Paparizou is thinking about a comeback in the swedish music scene. She has been in Sweden for the last three months and is thinking about moving back home and start working to do a new album for swedish market.
She also says in the interview that she has always said no for competing in Melodifestivalen, but now things has changed. But it won't be as an artist, only as a songwriter so that younger and better singers get the chance.

I must say that I am glad that Elena realises that she won't win ESC a 2nd time as a singer..but maybe as a songwriter! I know she can do good songs, so let's hope she can make a huge one for Sweden in 2012!

Re: SWEDEN 2012
Tove Styrke could be a good choice. She is young and fresh and has a pretty good production/songwriting team supporting her, but knowing the team behind MF I doubt we'll get someone like her or something with that kind of sound.

Whoa, isn't that unusually early? Sweden is usually among the last countries to select their contestant, could be a break with that i guess....

Re: SWEDEN 2012
Hmm I didn't really notice that until I saw your comment, you're right about that!
Actually I think it's a good thing. Maybe they FINALLY realized that having a little more time to prepare the show for ESC and maybe some promo is needed. Sweden usually tend to go for the exact same show in ESC as in MF, which is not really a good thing imo.

Re: SWEDEN 2012
"Spring För Livet" was a pretty ok song, but Sara has zero charisma and too much nerves for a contest like ESC I think.
Maybe she (and whoever was responsible for that song) can write an entry instead?

Re: SWEDEN 2012
Now THAT explains why Alexander Bard was in the public in one of the clips I saw on Youtube from the Crimerian Music Festival thingy.
As for this new project of him they are totally unknown in Sweden. I have yet to hear anything from this project. Wouldn't surprise me though if we would end up seeing them in MF.
Alexander Bard is currently in the Idol jury and the BWO project is finished.
seeing Gravitonas in Yalta right now, I wish they could apply

Re: SWEDEN 2012
Spring for Livet was much too soft for Eurovision, and she sounded really shaky when singing live.
Sweden needs to go back to its Schlager days. And not "modern" Schlager like in 2008, but classical like in 2001, 2003, 2004, and 2006. Bring me some ABBA-esque music with great vocals!

Re: SWEDEN 2012
I must admit that I like Gravitonas more than BWO and the audience really liked them too
I read his interview in Swedish and he said that they won't participate in MF
