So the gods of Eurovision have decreed that the only (if you believe other sites) National Final worth knowing about – Melodifestivalen – has announced it’s 28 songs for its usual Song-o-lympics ( Three years in a row I have used that now!) and, of course, the internet has gone mental over the fact that the mumbler in chief, Loreen, is back but the other twenty-seven aren’t just fighting for second place you know – they are in it to win.
As usual, 2 are through to the final from each heat and 2 more go through to what they are now calling the Semi Final where, in a change of format, all 8 songs will sing – the duels are gone – and the best scoring 4 songs will go through.
I know you can’t wait, but wait you must so salivate on the line ups instead!

Loreen will no doubt get a lot of attention and no doubt the fans will swoon but as 2017 proved just entering a song is no guarantee of success.
