That is the popular audience vote during the

recent rehearsals Alcazar to win. It certainly is

set to be one of the closest Mf battles in Globen

& polls all show a different favourite! Nothing like

in 2007 & 2008 when we had a clear favourite.

Malene leads the Expressen Poll currently

followed by Caroline & Mans!

On the night it looks like a Marlena Alcazar & Mans

will capture the swedish public & jury. However with the new

format the International Jury is set to reveal there

results just before sweden begins voting. With a

hope this will sway the public to vote with a

Eurovision audience in mind? How will that

work, to find out lets just.. all

Here we have the final 11 songs as they will be sung- In past years finals -Song 1 & -Song 11 ( normally Song 10 ) have best chance of winning. Certainly our schlager ambulance was on high alert over the past 5 weeks. One of the above will take the swedish Mf crown on to Moscow!

Gimme Gimme Gimme a Second Chance- as Swedish votes dropped some BIG artists from the Mf final !!

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!

Shirley Clamp HITS No:1 As a Melodifestivalen Chart attack begins

The snow is melting Måns is slowly making his way to, Sweden's singles chart this week. We saw Shirley Clamp got into the top 3 now she has No;1 single. Really not bad considering she came last in her semi final! E M D hit No;3 a popular enrty position with 'Baby Goodbye' Some other top Mf songs have lower enrties, which maybe due to them being available on download only just at the moment..expect Maximum Impact next week..for now we can see...

3 -Goodbye baby E M D

13 -The Queen Velvet

17 -All on you -Danny ( E M D)

22 -Hope & Glory Mans Zelmerlow

23 -Welcome to my world -Jonathan Fagerlund

28 -Love love love -Agnes

33 -Stay the night- Alcazar

41 -Tick tock- Nina Soderquist

48 -Moving on -Sarah Dawn Finer

50- Show me heaven- Lili & Sussie

52 -Esta Noche - Next 3

Meanwhile we should see B W O Blast into the top 10 soon their song 'You're not alone' is growing on me I hope it makes it through what could be a messy 2nd chance show this weekend! The final chance to go to Globen. Good luck may the best two win.

Måns Zelmerlöw - 'Hope & Glory' for Globen - will he be the one?

FLASHBACK Peter Joback+Laakso 'Italy vs Helsinki' I Luv this clip and song

When will Peter comeback to Melodifestivalen?

soon I hope- with a tune like this one.

Malena Ernman-What A Grand performance! in Malmo- both Malena & Agnes are going to Globen

Marlene stole the show at Malmo- Sarah Dawn Finer & Star Pilots ' Higher' are going to

second chance! Poor Maria & Anna did not even qualify for the first round.

while Sarah Dawn was the one

who got lifted up Higher! above the stage on a platform.

( well the song did need a lift!) Well done Agnes & Marlene.
