Sounds Familiar...


The names of 28 of the 32 songs competing in Sweden's Melodifestivalen (MF) have been revealed, and the headline news is that composer Thomas G:Son - the king of Schlager is back. After having had no songs in the 2008 MF Thomas was forced to sell his wares elsewhere, with national final entries popping up in Spain and Belgium.

Other familiar names in the list of composers and lyricists announced today by SVT include Fredrik Kempe, Bobby Ljunggren and, a Eurovision Express favourite, Ingela 'Pling' Forsman.

The names of the artists have not yet been made public, but rumours suggest that Alcazar will be back, and ex Junior Eurovision hopeful, Molly Sanden will debut. Others tipped for a return include Mans Zelmerlow and Sarah Dawn Finer.

4 wilcard entries will be made known in due course.

Looks like MF09 will be another classic year!
