This weekend we saw Sweden's 'Andra Chansen' heading towards the final 11 songs now confirmed for Globen Finale on 14 th March 2009- This has seen some of the Mf favourite Artists and songs go forward to the final, in the past and been a great way of capturing the best of the songs that just missed out. However this year a lot of real excellent songs missed out. Two of my favourites BWO & Lili & Sussie lost out, this could be down to them both been drawn together in the same dual. If these acts came up with less than average songs, it would be a little understandable. "Show me Heaven" & "You're not alone" are both equally worthy of the final
and BWO have spoken how their act was perfectly put together for a Moscow audience.
I think the band are right on the money, if anyone else they know how to sway in the Eastern vote in ESC. They have had huge success with some of their early songs over in Russia and beyond. Lets see how the singles go in sales chart after Mf, this often shows a different story. Meanwhile as Sweden strides to be different and comeback on the Eurovision stage. They have already dropped some of the most promising songs and acts in Mf. Another one is Velvet's "The Queen" I could see this track qualifing easily in the Eurovision Semi Final. Oh well someone has to lose.
The winning songs that went through to the final were "Moving On" Sarah Dawn Finer with Caroline Af Ugglas "Snalla snalla" ( 'please please'- send me to globen!! ) these songs along with International jury choice Sofia. Out of the whole line-up for 2nd chance I personally would have picked these as the bottom 3. Lets see what happens in Globen, its still gonna be very
schlager-tastic!
