---

It may only be August but Melfest fever can officialy START with the 8 finalists of this year's Svensktoppen nästa announced. Who will follow in the footsteps of Terese Fredenwall, EKO and Kalle Johansson and earn a place in next year's contest?

 

Michael Fannon - Kommer tid, kommer råd 02.00

Sofia Sandberg-Albihn - The Sunny Side 05.45

Smajling Swedes - Goosebumps 09.45

Fanny Nilsson - Alone 14.35

Jens Sporron - Make A Mistake 19.35

Miss Winter - The Road 24.15

Jawone - Främling 31.20

Laila Adele - Blame It All On You 36.50

Bolded are the times you can hear each song in the stream here. On first listen, I'm quite liking Micheal Fannon, Laila Adele and Fanny Nilsson's songs. Nothing groundbreaking of course, but I'LL TAKE IT for now. The winner will be chosen on 6th September.

 

Now is also the time to get speculating and start drawing up those wishlists for competing artists! And who will our esteemed hosts be? Are we in for another 2013 next year or is Christer's drive for a 7th Eurovision victory going to see the best Melfest ever? *.*

Edited November 30, 20159 yr by AdamAloud

I hope we get some decent entries this year. 2013 was fine if uninspiring. I really thought they would want to show what they could do on home soil. Hopefully this year with the final being in Stockholm they will go all guns blazing and get the big guns in.

 

I hope to see returns of

Danny Saucedo

Darin

Ace Wilder

Dinah Nah.

 

Among others who I can't think of right now.

I hope that Darin is not involved.

 

However thus turns out, I hope I'm not flying to Sweden for a repeat of 2013

 

They're so bitchy!

Wiwibloggs bitchy? No! :kink:

 

Anyway I have devised my wishlist, of course I realise some of these won't touch Melodifestivalen with a barge pole but I can and WILL dream.

 

Agnes

Molly Sandén

Zara Larsson

Dinah Nah

Ace Wilder

Danny Saucedo

Ola

Darin

Timoteij

Laleh

Tove Lo

Helena Paparizou

Charlotte Perrelli

Nanne Grönvall

Velvet

Alcazar

Erik Rapp

Ulrik Munther

Midnight Boy

Icona Pop

Kristin Amparo

Awa

Ida LaFontaine

Stockholm Syndrome

Avicii should enter, his relevance is beginning to slide off a cliff and he already composed the (incredible) theme for SVT for Eurovision 2013.

Lose the abomination that is Darin and ditch Ulrik and I'm with you on that list Adam.

Oh god PLEASE NO @ Avicii.

 

Of the "big" returnees, I'm really hoping Molly does it. Fingers crossed for Ace and Isa to return too, I feel like Isa might. Agnes would be bloody fab too *.*

I wish for Dolly Style/something-else YOHIO related or for Amaranthe to shed the last shred of their 'metal dignity', build off Elize's attempt last year and just enter the whole band.

 

Also, because I needed to say this in my first post in this thread, BRING ON ANOTHER 2013 *.*

Tove Styrke would be great actually but seeing as she's trying to be super credible these days I doubt she would (she doesn't even play White Light Moment any more :()

Michael Fannon won Svensktoppen nästa today and is the first act confirmed for Melodifestivalen 2016!!

So actually my Swedish isn't as good as I thought and Smajling Swedes has been selected to compete in Melodifestivalen despite not winning today. You can listen to their song 'Goosebumps' here.
