I'm going to end up spending way too much money tonight preordering all the Melodifestival-related albums. Add to that the fact that I've already bought Rebeka Dremelj's new album as well as the Melodifestival digital singles that I can and it's going to be a very expensive evening.
I hope, though, that anyone who reads this blog and loves Melodifestivalen is planning on buying
the official album and/or buying the albums of those artists whose music you like (and remember, it's not just a matter of supporting the singer but the writers, too).
I'm hoping and trusting that you all will, though, so I'm going to offer up a couple of presents.
Before you ask, no, I don't have Alcazar/Måns/Malena or probably what you want (yet...fingers crossed!) apparently crossing your fingers works!; I've only got a handful of tracks.
(I know this may seem hypocritical coming after a plea to buy music, but please don't just take these links and spread them around everywhere--link people here.)
Picking what to share was difficult, but
here's the song we've been waiting for since its disqualification during the first semifinal (isn't that cover fantastic? The studio version of the song makes me feel even more justified in my love of it) and
here's the "In The Heat Of The Night" meets "Waiting For A Star To Fall" (thanks,
Rick!) song that qualified to the semifinal tonight (I'm so glad it turned out to have cowbell in it).
You can buy both of these songs by buying
Melodifestivalen 2009 here (physical).
