It was revealed on SVT:s Kulturnyheterna this evening that singer and musical artist Peter Jöback will be the third joker in Melodifestivalen

As previously mentioned this is a huge deal.. yes it might even triumph Darins participation.

Peter Jöback is regarded as being one of Sweden’s best male vocalists, he's gay and EVERYBODY loves him.

And hear this, his song is called "Hollow" - a powerballad written by Fredrik Kempe and Anders Hansson

What does this mean, you might ask yourself.

WELL, IT MEANS THAT HE MIGHT ASWELL TAKE THE DAMN TROPHY RIGHT NOW! Poor, poor Darin ;(

Okay fine, I admit that I'm infact quite excited by this news.. can't say the same for Sandy, who has probably killed herself by now.

Peter Jöback, winner of Melodifestivalen 2010.

Alcazar does MF again!

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.

Recap of this past week

Because I suck (Mandy has actually tried to revive the blog! She's getting a cake later. Carrot cake. I'm pretty sure she doesn't like it, so more for me -nods-) the latest news have been ignored. GASP! I know, I know. But here's a nifty little recap of what has happened for the past week or so;

The Netherlands won Junior Eurovision Song Contest. It seems pretty impossible, doesn't it? A western country winning JESC which is about ten times worse than ESC in regards of neighbourvoting? Ralf won with the song Click Clack which is incredibly catchy if you ask me. 'Listen to it on YouTube five times a day for the past week' catchy. Belgium came in 4th, even though it was a hot hot hot favorite for the win (or was it? On forums it was. Apparently yodeling (how the hell to you spell that anyway?) done by a little girl is a recipe for success). Russia and Armenia came in joint second place. We're not surprised, at all. Mega big thanks for Macedonia for only giving Armenia 1 point!! It made my evening, really.
Belgium chose their artist. Some dude named Tom Dice (HAHAHAHA, epic name!) who's an X-factor reject who will definitely qualify to the final in Oslo because thats the jury's big task in the semi-finals, bringing back loser countries such as Belgium, Switzerland and The Netherlands to the final. Too bad Andorra wont take part, we would've seen the tiny nation take part in the final for the first time!
Belarus' I-have-no-idea-if-we-should-call-it-a-NF contest has continued. To be honest I have no idea what it's all about. It seems to be a way to make people feel like they're actually helping Belarus choosing an entry for ESC? Even though the president will re-do the NF if he doesn't like the winning song. You've gotta love dictators!
Oh, and MGP Nordic took place yesterday. Personally I didn't watch it, personally I don't care and personally I think it's a waste of money. Apparently a Swede won though, yay for that! See, this is just a warm up for Oslo next year. GOOOO DARIN!

And that's about it really, I'll do better with updates from now on. Sort of.
