The song is not bad at all but it's not a song to end in the TOP 10, she will not win again!(or maybe i'm wrong)
Carola was much better and she didn't win again, so... we'll see.
I was never a fan of the Melodifestival, though I admit it is a very professional entertainment. I usually like schlager and I supported Lena and Carola, and also Charlotte in 1999, but this time I am not sure. I would have liked something else (BWO ?). The Swedish songs are too predictable to my mind, but who can blame this ? Each time they went for something different, they didn't score as well as with a schlager song.
Björn: "But honestly, the hystery almost starting to take too large dimensions."
Maybe it is a sign the other way around? that the music done novadays is "pure crap" or whatever... and who buys singels anyway? I have enver and I will never do it.
I think there is a reason they never publish how many singles there are sold in "topplistan". Just because some nutjobs buys some singels does not make it a "hsytery".
So Eurovision-fans that have never been here:
WELCOME TO MF 2009! The best national selection by far!
MF-Final in Globen - that´s even better than ESC itself....maybe.
May the best song / artist / performance win in Belgrade!
GREECE AND SWEDEN ARE TAKING THE ESC TOO SERIOUS AND HEAR THE SONGS TOO MUCH.THIS IS AMAZING....I AM SO PROUD THAT I AM FROM GREECE AND I RAELLY LIKE SWEDEN
Tom K,
Linda is a great artist, but her song this year - was the weakest she have had in MF, so I think thats the reason why she did'nt get votes in the Final...
im gona learn swedish and move there!!!!
this is what eurovision should be about, the whole country getting behind and listening to there entry ... brings tears to my eye 
The more I listen the amazing Melodifestivalen hits I can't help the feeling that Carola and Anders had the best and most powerful song! BWO have an amazing song as well, just like Rondegal...surely Charlotte was one of my favourites but after some time listening to the song I'm definitely under the impression that not the best song won the competition! However Sweden is still my top favourite in this year confusion of weak songs!
@ Philip Wester
I don't understand that either. Linda is a fantastica artist, I hope she enters MF again next year, or better, comes to the UK :-)
just got my new linda B cd and melodifestivalen cd!well sone sweden amazing year!cant wait to see the contest in stockholm very soon!
I hope BWO release Lay Your Love On Me in the UK. Let's face - it's the only entry that has a chance of charting over here!
~~~Moopy are rerunning the Melodifestival as we speak. It's very close in heat three - click here~~~
How come Bengtzing got 0 points from the people yet she's #4 on the charts (up from 10)?
Anyway, Melodifestivalen has always been big in Sweden. Too bad we're too stuck on the Schlager-sound. At least our Schlagers are top-notch... but they'll never win the ESC ever again.
It's too nice, how love Swedish people have for Melodifestivalen!
For sure, more than here in Italy for Sanremo.
Even if Italy (see the album chart) rules in Sweden too 
Oh my God, that's insane. This is why I sometimes argue that we should all just let Sweden win so that the ESC-crazy inhabitants of that little country may get what they've been wanting for so long. I wouldn't mind, I think Stockholm 2000 was one of the greatest ESCs ever arrangement-wise.
Bengtzing at No.4....Hooray!!!
that's why I love Sweden 
I've just ordered Nordman's new CD from CDON. Can't wait to hear it!
sweden loves melodifestivalen.
Wow Swedish people are real Melodifestivalen and Eurovision fans I can imagine that Melodifestivalen time is very special time in Sweden but especially in Stockholm where the final is hold. Go Empty room, my favourite 
Great to see Rongedal as 5th! But honestly, the hystery almost starting to take too large dimensions.
Charlotte is number 1 and Sanna didn't top the chart even if she was the favourite of televoting.
WOW Sweden likes a lot Britney Spears!
so great to see this sweden does it best!
That Fronda track is da bomb!
Haha.. is Duffy the only international artist in the singles chart? 
The swedes love there eurovision very much! hehehe
Could never imagine anything like this happening in the UK lol!
