That's the theme for the next years ESC, and the logo for the theme (aka not the official logo) is all pink and lovely. I love it! Nothing can top Finlands theme though - true fantasy. I adore that theme. Anyway, good going Norway, just make sure you make a kick ass stage as well and we'll be proud, I swear!

Yes, it's now official that we'll see this fabulous trio on the MF stage 2010.
They just can't get enough! But we can.

The entry "Headlines" written by Tony Nilsson and Peter Boström has been given to Alcazar, after some complications and disagreements between SVT and the songwriters. (sound familiar?)

This time SVT wanted Linda Bengtzing and the songwriters wanted September.
The latter is of course way too cool for Melodifestivalen and said thanks, but no thanks. WHY, PETRA, WHYYY? ;(

Ok, ok I'm not gonna cry. Let's not forget that Darin is coming to our rescue and he's gonna show us all how it's done <3

So it seems Alcazars participation is the result of some sort of compromise. Their desperation is becoming slightly annoying, but I have to confess I LOVED "Stay The Night" so as long as they continue in the same spirit and not go all "YOU CAN BE AN ALCASTAR" again - I'll approve.

Albania likes quantity more than quality, eh. No sorry, that was rude. Anyway, their NF - Festival i Kenges (or something similar) - will start on December 24th (like anyone outside of Albania would have time to watch it) and end on the 27th. It looks like Albania will be, once again, the first country to announce their song for Oslo.

I have no idea who the singers that are taking part are buuuuut Kejsi Tola, from this year, will participate again. Maybe she'll ditch the clowns and the lizzard man, if we're lucky. Although I'd have to admit that it would be sort of epic if she sang a powerballad and the clowns just appeared from nowhere. Ooooh, please let them be in the show! I take what I said before back. They're awesome.

Aftonbladet reports that Peter Jöback is one of the two remaining jokers and that his song is a 'winning song'. These reports haven't officially been confirmed, but let's just take a moment and pretend that they're right.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Peter Jöback is like someone who could stop Darin from winning. I. HATE. THIS! Please don't steal the victory from Darin. Please please please Peter! Gosh, even my mom adores him and she's a rocker chick. Damn. Damn damn damn damn.

My day just got a lot worse. A loooot.

I'm happy about Ola taking part in Melodifestivalen this year - he's so darn cute. His 2008 song was great too (ahem, I still sing it in the shower, not ashamed at all) so hopefully next year will be good as well and hopefully take him to the MF final. I wouldn't really expect him to get a top 3 or anything there though, I mean... He's competing with Darin. D-A-R-I-N! The MF 2010 winner who'll defend the blue-yellow colors in Oslo.

No, I'm not talking about Davor Ebner... Ok, lame joke. SORRY DAVOR. I LOVE YOU. He does look pretty short though, eh? These posts will contain smaller updates so that we wont have to spam your sorry asses all the time. It's just really desperate, right?

• Finland releases songs online. You can listen to them here. I dont know though - there's not really a new Lordi in there, is it? Sorry Finland, no victory for you next year either.
• Our southern neighbours Denmark have announced the hosts for their NF next year. I'd write them all up but really - they're nobodies. You'd never know who they were.
• The leader of the betting odds in Ireland of who'll represent them in Oslo next year is no other than Niamh Kavanagh who won the contest back in 1993. If theres any real reason for this bookie success will be revealed sooner or later, wont it? Second on the odds are the Jedwards!! If you have no idea what I'm talking about... Just YT John & Edward X-factor. A-m-a-z-i-n-g.

As previously written, 'Father Abraham' (HAHAHAHHA I still love that name) will write the Dutch entry for 2010, and now more information about the selection process has been confirmed.

On January 31st the artists competing for the ticket to Oslo will be presented and a week later, on February 7th, a winner will be selected by the song composer.

As I've already stated.. Just don't send De Toppers and I'll be fine. Really! Just no De Toppers. 2009 was more than enough, okay?

First of all - TACK TACK TACK TACK!! to whoever put us on the front page of blogg.se! Real big surprise and shock, but thaaaaank you! And I hope we'll keep one or two of the 250 new readers who found their way here today :)

Back to business, ey? Rumors and speculations are surrounding Melodi Grand Prix 2010 - the national selection of our dear neighbours, and next years Eurovision hosts, Norway. There haven't been any confirmations so far about who'll participate (at least I haven't seen any but that could be that I haven't looked at the right places) but there's a list spreading around forums with rumored artists.

Some interesting names are A1, Maria Haukaas Storeng and Lene Alexandra. A1 are a british boyband (with a Norwegian band member) who were sort of big in the beginning of the 00's, which I had a huge crush on btw. I love their song Same old brand new you so I'm totally excited to see if they'll actually participate. Who wants to bet they'll actually win? Maria Haukaas Storeng will, according to this list, be returning to MGP next year. She participated in Belgrade with the song Hold on be strong that reached fifth place, a placing that people didn't think Norway would top in a while.. Well, the next year they won. Do I need to say more? And finally Lene Alexandra will apparently be back as well. She's the busty glamour model who participated in MGP in 2008 with the song Sillycone Valley and is now back to claim her title.

If this is accurate or not we'll find out sooner or later but I'm really hoping it is. A1, A1, A1, A1!!!
