19 November 2008 at 10:47 CET

Eight singers and groups have been made public by SVT, however, at this point, it is unknown in which Semi-Finals of the 2009 Melodifestival they will be placed:

  •  Alcazar will sing Stay The Night
     
  •  BWO will sing You're Not Alone
     
  •  Caroline af Ugglas will sing SnĂ€llĂ€, SnĂ€lla
     
  •  Emilia will sing You're My World
  •  Jennifer Brown will sing Never Been Here Before
  •  Lasse Lindh and Band will sing Jag SlĂ„ss I Dina Kvarter
  •  MĂ„ns Zelmerlöw will sing Hope & Glory
  •  Sarah Dawn Finer will sing Moving on

Lots of interesting and familiar faces could be detected among those eight. The only artists without a Melodifestivalen past are Jennifer Brown and Emilia, but both had big international hits in their name with Emilia even having a Europe-wide No.1 hit in 1998 with Big Big World! Alcazar have participated in the Swedish finals 2003 and 2005 where they came third both times. BWO took part in 2005, 2006 and 2008 with the best result being a second place in 2006. MÄns Zelmerlöw and Sarah Dawn Finer competed in the same year - 2007 - and both reached the final. Caroline af Ugglas and Lasse Lindh entered Melodifestivalen in 2007 and 2008 respectively but didn't get enough votes to reach the finals.
