Here, finally, is the week one showdown between the UK's and Sweden's Number one Talent searches! You might be all over it but If you missed either show last week catch up here before the next round begins! If you don't agree with my views comment away!
Week 1 is brought to you by the word: Disappointment
Top 3 Points.... 1. X Factor 2008's Diana Vickers hand has gone Scandinavian 2. Former contestants do battle 3. Cringing aplenty!

HERE IT IS!!!! The performance of the cover I have been dying for and the net has buzzing about (well my fav blogs HereHere and Here!) I've waited up late in order to get the glimpse of the fantastic performance so here we go....
W TO THE OW!!! Okey Okey the vocal is a bit shaky, but overall the style and performance is Swedelicious! I'm not sure if you would agree but I think the backing track sounds more Danny Saucedo than Darin! How cute for Darin to perform and release a song for no other reason but to big up the show from which he started! That's loyalty for you kids! The wind machine of course is equally amaizng, probably due to it's sheer pointlessness! He kicked Ola's Körslaget kör hands down! Also check out Future M.I.A. Legend Camilla Håkansson during the contestant line up! Will she stand like an awkward celebrity on a forgein TV show, clapping and nodding like the some of her fellow contestants? No No No, this kidette has class! Shes singing and dancing like a true Schlager Icon! I kinda hope Darin doesn't do Melodifestivalen (it's OK I'm feeling fine don't worry, I did really say that!). I think, as this performance shows, he's far too current and potentially international for the contest at the moment! This makes me even more excited for Darin's UK invasion! BRING IT ON!
Think Darin deserves M.I.A. Legend status after this... so watch this space!
I'm following the new series of Svenska Idol online and loving every second of it so far! Seriously Sweden make generic talent show formates so relevant and unique. Though there are some seriously talented singers on the show, there is one future pop starlet who has stole my heart! Camilla Håkansson is the definition of a Schlager lover in human form! Here is her electrifying performance of My Heart Will Go On...
I know... I know... her presentation of the lyrics was a bit all over the place! My favourite bit is at when she repeats with such punch "True Time"! If you think her Schlager remix was blasphemy then overt your eyes now....
HOW AMAZING!!!! legend legend legend! Alexandra Burke should listen up! wonder if that's what Same Difference would have performed the song like if that had been their winners single?? After this performance she got a right telling off by the judges! Have they not heard of Melodifestivalen? Can they not she that Camilla is setting down an audition for 2010??? What ever happens to her the rest of the series I will be following in great detail! I will end this post with the fantastic fail she made live on TV!
hey hey people! got a few things to discuss and they seam to be linked by that lovely see through stuff... water! Firstly we've got the pop Princess Agnes Carlsson with her newest addition to the musical perfection that is Dance Pop Love! After the disastrous remix of Big Blue Wall for the German album edition, I was surprised a ballad was added to the album! Even though it sounds a little like shes singing Urine instead of You Rain, the ballad is gorgeous. She has done ballads before with better results, check out original Big Blue Wall, her winner's single Right Her Right Now , the failed melodifestivalen entry Somewhere Down the Road, and my favorite of all the heartbreaking What Do I Do With All This Love
Next up is the brilliant new video by Emilia! Those fellow Swede lovers will recognise her for the immense Your My world from this years Melodifestivalen, which was easily one of my favourites from the show! Other readers may know her from 90's hit Big Big World. Anyway this new disco dancefloor delight will hopefully be her next European smash! The video was filmed at the club I visited in Stockholm. I had the best night out of my life there because it was filled with Schlager! This would rip the dancefloor up im sure!
Hopefully this post has not dampened your day... get it???
We live in a majorly cute and Jazztastic world! There is so much funkiness that needs to be celebrated! Here I will give you an insight into my razzmatazz mind, through music, TV and general observations! Make yourself at home!
