Sweden's is in crisis as they miss the first Eurovision Song Contest since 1976 !!

18 year old Anna Bergendahl has become the first swedish artist EVER not to make the
Eurovision Song Contest final after winning Melodifestivalen 2010.
Re-actions in countries like Finland Netherlands & Denmark have been "Hello Sweden- welcome to our world"
Yet poor young Anna has been very brave you
can see her sorrow in her eyes as Denmark's song "In a moment like this' took the remaining
Grand Final place in the second semi final.
Many critics & Euro fans have expressed how 'average' the Denmark entry is this year. I do
normally love most things that come out of Denmark for Eurovision. In 2010 I was very
disapointed with the danes choice for 2010. This does not mean the song will not do very well. It is after all
placed as the last song to sing that place in previous years has been the kiss of very sweet success.
If you ask me Anna's 'This is my life' is so much better and between these two tunes
Sweden wins for me anytime. Its just Eurovision fate, you win some you lose some- there is
always nexy year. Plus Fredrik Kempe has wrote an amazing classic tune for Norway
'My heart is Yours' this we can be so happy with..cheer up swedes all is not lost.

Scene's from the Pink Carpet - Oslo Town Hall at the Welcome Party Eurovision Song Contest 2010

It was almost like opening night at the Oscars as the Stars came out in

their very best frocks- and looking fab-ulastic

Sweden's Anna Bergendahl, has she been doing watercolours- in her hotel room again?

Lena from Germany, she left her cassette player in the car thankfully.
All smiles & flags the Finnish 'Moonwhispers' ( cuz we cannot say

their real names in finnish)

..Ohhh was there a protest of somekind at City Hall? this must just have been an unknown Norwegian protestor !

There can only be one winner....

Anna Bergendahl will sing 'this is my life'

for Sweden in Oslo 2010. Check out one of the first

english interview with TVoikotimes (thanks)

Globen favourites & Those NEW Euro Juries

There seems to be no clear favourite in Melodifestivalen 2010- Many

of the swedish press are showing different poll leaders Anna Bergendahl,

Eric Saade, Salem Al

Fakir & Darin. Here at schlagertunes we are thinking it should end up

a race of the three best songs for a Eurovision audience, between

Peter Joback's 'Hollow' Eric's 'Man boy' or Timoteij 'Kom'

The final 10 songs suffer from a

ballad traffic-jam of having 4-5 songs all mellow love-songs So this could

mean

they will split up the votes too much.

If the public vote for too many of the favorite ballads,

it maybe one up-beat song that wins the day. This would be good

for Sweden in Oslo where there is already more than the normal amount of ballads

confirmed.

At just 18 years old, Anna Bergendahl has become one of the

TOP favourites in many polls for Globen 2010- with her tune

'This is my live'

She scored only a 5th place in Sweden's idol 2008. Anna's Mf performance

took her direct-to-Globen leaving her competion behind.

Anna's emotional Mf encore performance

It is a great tune, but is ESC 2010 really looking for a repeat of Iceland

Yohanna- 'Is it true'

(2nd in Russia 2009)

Whatever the swedish public vote for we have the New European juries

to add to the Globen mix..very soon we will find out from which

6 european countries they will come from? It will make for a

very interesting final vote this year. Please 'vote with care' Sweden

we need you in the Oslo Final at least.
