Melodifestivalen 2011: speculation and facts

Tomorrow, half of the acts and songs at this year's Melodifestivalen, with the other half being announced next week. In the meantime, speculation continues about more acts possibly taking place. Expressen said today that Jenny Silver will return (hopefully without that silly yellow hand!) and former Idol finalist Daniel Karlsson will make his MF debut.

I'm quite excited about Daniel if this is true, as I absolutely loved (and still love) his song "Would You Believe": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtB5K6yl0lc

The Swedish media continues to write about how artists are turning their back on taking part in Melodifestivalen, like this for example: http://www.aftonbladet.se/nojesbladet/melodifestivalen2011/article8148616.ab
I would love to see September take part someday with an uptempo song :) I'm also hoping that Rebound will be among the list of acts announced for next year's contest.

No speculation about the hosts - it was announced earlier this week that Marie Serneholt and Rickard Olsson (pictured below) will present MF 2011. Marie can always get some tips from this year's host, the one and only Måns Zelmerlow of course!
