thx to my swedish source from escforum, who heard the entries were something like this, from media

Alvaro Estrella - Latino pop banger with a very catchy chorus.
Anton Ewald - A pop song with a very big, infectious chorus. Incredibly danceable.
Arvingarna - Dansband song that they tried to send in last year as well. Heard it's worse than "I Do"
Charlotte Perrelli - A contemporary pop number with a very modern beat. Not as much schlager as one would have hoped for but still you can hear the influence.
Clara Klingenstrom - A song which is described as a "******ing revenge". A heartfelt song in which Clara sings to herself while being at the bottom.
Danny Saucedo - Up-tempo. Soulful and funky. Very reminiscent of Danny's previous Swedish work. The chorus is very instant, with lots of hooks.
Dotter - Up-tempo, intense song with a huge, explosive chorus. A modern lullaby.
Efraim Leo - An energetic song that it's hard to stand still to. The text is about the struggle of leaving someone you're fond of.
Elisa Lindstrom - A Swedish ballad with four keychanges.
Emil Assergard - An up-tempo pop song in style of his previous songs.
Eric Saade - Addictive and sexy song with some touches of darkness in it. Apparently his best effort.
E. Rydberg & E. Roos - A comedic number that is going to promote their spring show.
Frida Green - A song that has been written in mind with Anna Bergendahl and was one of her potential entries in 2020. Heard it could definitely be one of the contenders for victory.
Jessica Andersson - It's not a nightclub song, or actually it might well be, but I would say that this one is more organic in nature than Party Voice.
Julia Alfrida - No idea. No concrete info. Up-tempo electro probably?
Kadiatou - Funfact: her latest single was considered as well. They decided on a pop banger though. A very positive song.
Klara Hammastrom - A big, disney ballad with a very beautiful, melodic chorus.
Lillasyster - A hardrock song with lots of "screams".
Lovad - The song is said to be very fragile and heartfelt. Lovad is emotionally connected to the song.
Mustasch - A hardrock number with a huge chorus, catchy chorus.
Nathalie Brydolf - A pop ballad that has been sent to Melodifestivalen last year as well.
Patrik Jean - Didn;t find anything intersting. I would assume something mid-tempo?
Paul Rey - A much stronger entry than his previous effort. Another mid-tempo song.
Sannex - Yes, you definitely know how it's going to sound and how it's going to beat up your favourite divas.
Tess Merkel - The text is said to be slightly depressing although the song in sound is supposed to be quite cheerful. Rather far from her Alcazar releases. Not the song she sent in last year.
The Mamas - Do not expect anything different than last time. Catchy with a really good message.
Tusse - A song made on one of these camps that we all adore. His last single "Crash" was also considered. This may as well be the song that was asked to be in "The Weeknd" style.
WAHL feat SAM - They made some great changes to this song since it was never meant to be a rap number. Very melodic and catchy. Even some hardcore ESC fans may enjoy it.

We are still part of Europe Nicky so we can’t be kicked out

[Denver]

The UK pays the most towards the contestant so other countries can enter with paying barely little, if you take out the biggest contributors you will be left with nothing
