Jonny
Thanks! But I just checked the weather report and it says rain 
Stockholm
Aaaah I see . . . . too many Sofias in MF!! lol 
I hope you have a nice time 
Jonny
I just checked Oikotimes. It's not Sofia Berntson (Hypnotized) but Sofia Källgren (another MF contestant) who will be in Beijing.
Jonny
I think it will be on SVT Play
Stockholm
Sounds great So if it will be shown on SVT I assume it will be on SVT Play, I hope so because I want to see Sannas performance
Jonny
Yes, I look forward to Sanna's performance together with this grand orchestra. This is a free concert and there will be lots of people as usual having their picnics on the lawn. SVT will show the concert a week later
Stockholm
I didn't know Geir lived in Sweden I hope you have a nice time at that concert, Sanna will probably be amazing!
Jonny,
Before Geir Rönning competed for Finland he had been living in Sweden for many years
I didn't know about Charlotte and Beijing. I haven't checked Oiko today. Great.
On Sunday I will go to an open air concert with the Stockholm Philharmonic orchestra (it's a yearly event, like the Proms, the orchestra playing Pomp and Circumstance) and Sanna will be a special guest
(sorry for so many posts lol!)
And apparently Sofia will be there and & Geir Ronning who is Norweigen but competed for Finland in 05 AND the theme for thew Beijing olympics is composed by a Swede! You lot really are everywhere
OMG Stockholm! I just found out that Charlotte Perrelli is going to perform at the Olympic games in Beijing! How good is that! The details are one oikotimes Hopefully if the trend continues we'll have BWO & Sanna in London 2012! 
Stockholm
Oh yeah I remember these songs now. I heard them before, I can't remember why but I remember the name "Pay TV". I didn't know Therese was in it though Those songs are more like her 2007 entry with the Attic I found out the other day that the attic wrote the Melodifestivalen theme tune
Jonny:
Thanks!
Therese Andersson competed in MF together with her group Pay TV in 2004 (Trendy Discotheque) and 2005 (Refrain Refrain). What do you think?

Yes, there is an intstrumental, unfortunately I can't post the direct link because of the spam filter. But you can find some other MF instrumentals and tonnes of mp3s from this year at eurovisionbelgrade2008.blogspo t.com
I like Hypnotized aswell Its just in my top 20 most played songs And I really don't know why it did so badly.
Jonny
Last year Magnus Carlsson (Live forever) had a sore throat and was poorly. I think that's why he didn't qualify.
I see from your profile that you listen to an instrumental version of "When you need me". I didn't know there was one. I like that song and "That's love" too.
When we were talking about MF 2007 I think I forgot to tell you that I liked "Hypnotized". Perhaps people thought that it sounded too much like "My number one". Sofia is not Greek but she has spent some time in Greece.
Stockholm
Oh I must be devastating to not qualify because you have a blocked nose! I hope she returns next year, I like her There are a few songs that should have done better in my opinion. I really like "Thats love" and "When you need me" and they didn't make the final!
Jonny
If I remember correctly Velvet had a cold and wasn't feeling very well on the semi-final night. Still I'm surprised she didn't qualify.
Stockholm
Aaaah thanks for the info about the MF mystery. I didn't know the rehearsals would sell out so quickly, they don't even sell out completely for eurovision itself lol! 
Velvet gave a better performance in the rehearsal than she did in the semi, I wonder whether she'd been better in the semi she would have made it to second chance or even the final. I still can't understand why she didn't qualify at all. The same applies to Cosmo4 from 2007 
Back to topic - is the chat room open twenty-four hours?
Jonny, what happened?
Did you listen to the part about Terry
Jonny,
lol. I suppose Jonny is your name? I laughed when he said "all the way ..."
The Melodifestivalen mystery is solved. The video on SVT's website is from the Friday night dress rehearsal. Tickets for all MF dress rehearsals are sold out within a few hours.
I sent my request abt 4 weeks ago RI told me in an email that it had "accidentally ended up in the SPAM folder
Then I should be happy they played mine before next eurovision..LOL
Mina:

marc:
I hope you'll find the DVD.
you see Mina.... Oh btw thanks Stockholm, I will try and find it that way
WOW it was over 2 weeks ago I sent that request! Maybe emails from Greece take a while to arrive...LOL
Mina:
Yes they did. During the 2nd hour after about 17 minutes they mentioned Mina from sunny Greece and right after that they mentioned my name. A little later they played "Believe". The 3rd hour is an ABBA special.
Thanks Stockholm I'll listen to it later
But you didn't tell me..did they mention my name??
Mina:
Here's the link if you want to listen to the show.
