Andreas, Jessica and Pernilla
Meet the experienced Melodifestivalen acts
Jessica Andersson returns to the Melodifestivalen final with her first entry in English since taking fifth place at the Eurovision Song Contest as one half of Fame with Give me your love. Speaking about the emotion of her song following her heart rendering book about her upbringing last year, it's clear how much Jessica's vicory in last weekend's second chance round meant to her.
Andreas Johnson talks to esctoday.com about why he says this will be his final assault on the Melodifestivalen crown and reveals his favourite song in the competition. He also speaks about the emerging artists that have come through the competition this year.
Pernilla talks to esctoday.com about her entry and explains the meaning behind the song to readers that don't understand the lyrics in Swedish. She also talks about her other Melodifestivalen entries and which one is her favourite.
You can watch all three interviews on the www.youtube.com/esctodaytv channel and also see them below.

in the past ı have always voted for sweden... but never and never ı will vote again..... ı am from turkey ..you guess!!!!!.............
Pernilla is the best out of these. It's a little bit too oldfashion and not so strong, but it's ok... but not a winner for me.
Jessica's song is noting special, but it's better than some of the other ballads (Darin, Peter, Andreas)
Andreas is just as bad as he always was in MF... the worst song in this year's MF and would have never qualified if it was with a less known singer.
my top 3:
1 Pernilla ( she not going to 2 but stil i like it 
)
2 Timoteij ( cute and catchy)
3 Eric ( uhm its uptempo? )
Good luck Sweden
TIMOTEJ , ERIC or PERILLA 
Go Timoteij! Also Salem, Ola, Darin and Eric are great! Anything else isn't so good. Too bad that Hanna Lindblad with Manipulated did not qualify 
Eric Saade to Oslo !!!!!!!
Timoteij all the way to Oslo! (Though it is not so far...)
Pernilla till Oslo, POWER of SCHLAGER!!! INDEED 
but since she hardly has a chance - I'll be happy with either Timoteij or Ola as well 
"his final assault"
lol, that sounded funny.
TIMOTEIJ TILL OSLO!
Pernilla till Oslo, POWER of SCHLAGER!!!
