Jessica Folcker - Viva La Vida
Jessica Folcker's appearance in a list of Stockholm Pride's concert devoted to 90s made me surfing youtube in a search of some new videos of this amazing Swedish pop-singer. Last time we got new stuff from Jessica was 3 years ago when she released her electro-pop album "Skin Close" with very nice single "Snowflakes", both were incredibly underwhelmed though it wasn't the first time when Jessica making perfect pop-stuff in any direction she tried was not quite well appreciated by Swedish audience. Since that time we could only see some rare performance of Jessica on TV and in some public events and concerts. Last November she took part in "Sjung Nu" concert in Stockholm's Konserthus performing with live music and gospel-choir. I really like Darin's cover of this song but imagine how great it would sound with Jessica's vocal in studio version!
And another great video I've found is Jessica's covering ABBA when she was singing "The Name Of The Game" on a big ABBA tribute concert, first time I've heard this cover was around 5 years ago and then I've completely fallen in love with this version. Finally video has leaked and you can watch it below together with another great performance of Jessica together with Charlotte Perrelli and LaGaylia singing "Dancing Queen".
Update: By the way here's short video of Jessica performing at Pride, you can hardly see Jessica but you can perfectly hear full power of her amazing voice in her biggest world-wide hit.

Oh Damian!
I was wondering some days ago what Jessica is up to those days...
Love the 'Viva La Vida' video. Skin Close is still a great album and I'm really sad it didn't make an impact.I really hope she'll comeback someday. Pop music needs her.
I miss her like crazy, too. What a great performance of "Viva La Vida"!
Like you two, I really hope she'll come back at some point--it just wouldn't feel right without her. Wish I had a record label to sign her...
At least Jessica doesn't give up with music career and as we still can see her performing on such events means that we have a hope that someday she'll be back and I totally don't care which genre she will explore next time as the only thing I need is her voice.
She's so brilliant, never forgotten, and still noone can come close to her.

Glad to see you here turnaround :)
Jessica has made priceless contribution to Swedish pop-music with her albums and amazing vocal, she's a real pride of Sweden.
