It is clear that Melodifestivalen has ended recently; all the Swedish finalists have simply invaded the Swedish single Top20. Only three out of the 20 best selling singles did not participate in the 2008 Swedish selection.

Nordman and Sibel won the Swedish second chance round, but all spotlights are targeting Carola Häggkvist. How did she go from being queen of Melodifestival to being near humiliated and having a glorious career thrown in pieces?

If NordicBets odds are to be trusted Carola Häggkvist and Andreas Johnson will qualify for the final in Globen via the Second chance round. Ola and Sibel will be fighting for the second spot, but Charlotte Perrelli or Sanna Nielsen will win the final.

Our news update from the 18th of february 2008. Featuring pre selection songs from Finland, Sweden and Romania plus news on the UK selection.

8 songs took part in the second Swedish heat that took place in Västerås. The biggest expectations laid on the shoulders of Andreas Johnson and Carola Häggkvist, but they disappointed a bit and only reached the second chance contest.
