The running order for the very awaited Melodifestivalen 2010 final, Sweden's selection procedure for Eurovision, has been announced. Next Saturday's show will open with Darin's performance, while Eric Saade will be the last artist to sing.

This is the running order for the Melodifestivalen 2010 final, to be held on Saturday 13th at the Stockholm Globen:

  1. Darin - You're out of my life
    (Henrik Janson, Tony Nilsson)
  2. Pernilla Wahlgren - Jag vill om du vågar
    (Pontus Assarsson, Jörgen Ringqvist, Daniel Barkman)
  3. Andreas Johnson - We can work it out
    (Bobby Ljunggren, Marcos Ubeda/Andreas Johnson)
  4. Timoteij - Kom
    (Niclas Arn, Karl Eurén, Gustav Eurén)
  5. Peter Jöback - Hollow
    (Anders Hansson, Fredrik Kempe)
  6. Ola Svensson - Unstoppable
    (Dimitri Stassos, Alexander Kronlund, Hanif Sabzevari, Ola Svensson)
  7. Jessica Andersson - I did it for love
    (Kristian Wejshag, Lars "Dille" Diedricson)
  8. Salem Al Fakir - Keep on walking
    (Salem Al Fakir)
  9. Anna Bergendahl - This is my life
    (Bobby Ljuggren/Kristian Lagerström)
  10. Eric Saade - Manboy
    (Fredrik Kempe, Peter Boström/Fredrik Kempe)

As reported earlier, the show will be hosted by three well-known names in the Swedish show-business: Måns Zelmerlöw (Melodifestivalen 2007 and 2009), Christine Meltzer Lind (tv host and actress) and Dolph Lundgren (actor, having starred in numerous action and martial arts films, especially Rocky IV, where he played the part of Ivan Drago).

Last year, Sweden was represented by Malena Ernman in Moscow, taking 21st place with the song La voix. This year, Sweden will compete in the second semifinal of the Eurovision Song Contest.

I hope really that Sweden will be represented in Oslo for the first time since 1998 in Swedish language !!! Every year is still the same for Sweden and Greece. Change your choice SVT we're fed up to ear English language in to the Swedish and Greek songs

Hum, I think the public will vote like this

132-Manboy
110-Keep On Walking
88-Kom
66-You're Out Of My Life
44-This is my life
22-Hollo
11-I did it for love

Of course this is not how I would vote (Timoteij for Olso!!!!!)
But I think a strong score for Manboy is not enough.
The juries were changed to allow stop the likes of Manboy and Unstoppable. They will eat them up.

Prediction: Inter. Juries - Timoteij/Salem
Region. Juries - Salem/Andreas/Peter

It's Salem to win.

SO VOTE FOR TIMOTEIJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ berkay çalışkan

Lol you think? I think her voice and style is more similar to Tracy Chapman actually... like a younger, blonde and a little bit popier version of Tracy :)

@ berkay çalışkan

Darin's song is a cheap try at a boyband ballad... I'd chose also Salem over Darin lol...

oh well people have different taste...

I think this MF will end in disaster for me i'm afraid :( I sooo want to cheer my own country but it seems it will be impossible :(

@ Karen W

His song is better than The Ark's entry, but it's not good enough and I think he will fail almost like they did :(


Salem Al Fakir FTW [60087]
Tue 9 Mar 2010 23:42:55

Actually I think Salem will win.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OO!! I will cry then!! :( :( :( :( I hate him more than The Ark!! :S :S :( :(

@ Karen W

Actually I think Salem will win. Not very happy about that either, but I'd chose him over Eric for sure.

But you have to know that only Eric, Darin & Salem has actual radio support here in Sweden, so they are having an advantage compared to the rest.

Tue 9 Mar 2010 23:35:52

@ Karen W

lol you know I like you ;)

Offcourse I'm happy for all the MF fans aswell :) But in this very case my thanks go out to the ones who happens to support Timoteij.

The rest are free to support whoever they want, but Timoteij (or Anna) are the ones I would like to see for my country so obviously I'm happy for the support they get :)

Eric Saade's video watched 220 000 ppl on YT, other videos less than 100 000! He will win!

As a Norwegian I'd love one of our Nordic neighbours to win this year, particulary Sweden who haven't had that much luck in the contest the last couple of years. Which is sad, considering the amount of effort and work they put in this every year. :D However I must admit, my favourite song so far is "Apricot stone" from Armenia. I still think that's the song to beat in Oslo, and non of the Nordic countries can or will be a threat to that song.
Bouth Denmark and Icelands songs are nice popsongs/-ballads, but without anything spescial, no wow-factor at all.
I'm not a fan of our own song "My heart is yours", hosting ESC is expencive and lucky for us all we've made sure we won't have to worry about that for next years budgets. :D
The absolute best choice for Sweden would by my view be Salem Al Fakirs "Keep on walking". This song got stuck in my ear from the first note, and by no doubt it is a song that has a potencial of becoming a massive hit in Europe with or without ESC victory. Go Salem!! :D
I don't think it would be a good idea for Sweeden to send yet another ballad, and absolutly not a male vocalist ballad, even though I love Peter Jöback. Darins song is about as cheesy as his Norwegian college Didriks song, let's work together to avoid two songs like that in ESC. :D
I hate Pernilla Wahlgrens song, please don't!! It made me remember Markoolios very funny "Värsta schlägeren" parody :D :D
I looooooooooove Andreas Johnsons wonderful "Bon Jovi" feeling in his "We can work it out", I'd be very very happy if it won, but I don't think it will.. :(
Timoteijs "Kom" is a strange mix of Niklas Strömsteds "Om" and ESC winner Ruslanas "Wild dancers". My first reaction when I heard "Kom" was an immidiate "I've heard this song before"- feeling. Anyway, should Sweden choose "Kom", then my best advice would be to give the girls a cool dance act and loose the instruments, that looked as fake as it was. With "Kom" Sweden will by no doubt be beaten by the Finish girls' very catchy and authentic folksong.
So my fav for Swedens ESC entry is Salem al Fakirs "Keep on walking", I think it can do very, very well in Oslo.

Timoteij may not present the best "quality" song that we've heard in our life lol, but they will for sure be one of the fierce competitors for the victory in Oslo. If Sweden sends Timoteij, they will definitely have the advantage that it's an uptempo as almost all songs this year either are slow ones or ballads.

Secondly, if Sweden sends Timoteij they will for sure recieve some votes from me :) Also, I can't look forward to be at Telenor Arena if Timoteij are there, they will totally heat up the arena atmosphere from the bunch of ballads. Yes, this is a song contest but it can impossibly only consist of 25 Patricia Kaases on stage, it makes it all dreadful (I know anti-pop-gimmicks people here are going to disagree but anyways..)

I agree that Timoteij will bring Sweden a top-10 maybe a top-5 result.However,Anna could be Yohanna of 2010 and with a better song i.m.o!
