MF 2013: ANNA JÄRVINEN WHO?

Update:"Mä laulan sulle tänä iltana" she said before her MF performance. I sing to you tonight, dedicating her song to her Finnish grandmother :-) Anna Järvinen (42) finally takes part in Melodifestivalen tonight. Her song Porslin was selected already last year but she backed out in the last minute. "I haven't performed live for seven years" she tells Finnish media. "I'm a teacher, I teach Swedish and English and I have been doing that besides composing and writing new songs the past few years" . She admits of being very, very nervous.

ESC 2013: MÅNS AND SARAH AS HOSTS?

At the moment there are two front runners, namely Måns Zelmerlöf and sarah Dawn Finer. Both singers with Melodifestivalen experience. Måns also has gone a long way from Cara mia to become Sweden's hottest male host in TV, and Sarah of course charmed the nation and not only as one of the hostesses for Melodifestivalen this year. And what to say about her alter ego Lynda Woodruff who gave out the Swedish votes in Baku? Could she take it over? But there are about two dozen other names in the talks from Gina Dirawi to Jovan Radomir, from Charlotte Perrelli to lena Philipsson, Carola, Mark Levengood and Petra Mede. Just to name a few.
