Swedish~ Stereo~

Dead By April are back on summer Swedish TV in a company with Idol-winner Amanda Fondell, today her hair looked pretty cool while the way she performed "All The Way" was pretty not, I still do like studio-version of this song but when Amanda tries to make the performance original it goes too far.
Mikael Wiehe was singing his cover of E-Type's "Calling Your Name" from Så mycket bättre and foreign guest of this week was Olly Murs.

Today participants of Så mycket bättre were singing Eva Dahlgren's hits and once again we were more interested in E-Type's and Lena Ph's covers. Martin in a contrast to previous show has made a step from 90s classic eurodance sound to a dark aggressive electronic rocky pop when Lena has gone to a bit lighter electro-schlager-pop. Another cover we were absolutely delighted with was Laleh's cover of probably the biggest Eva's hit - "Ängeln i rummet" which has become a bit Coldplayesque with warm Christmas-feeling. Laleh's "Just Nu" already goes big on the radio and stays #1 on iTunes and new cover can easily become another sensation of this season.
Check snippets of studio-versions here.

Timbuktu - Kom och håll om mig
Tomas Ledin - Vem tänder stjärnorna?
Laleh - Ängeln i rummet
Mikael Wiehe - För att du är här
E-Type - Jag är Gud
Lena Ph - Jag klär av mig naken

New season of incredibly successful tv-show Så mycket bättre has started tonight.
This time we've got another solid bunch of artists - E-Type, Timbuktu, Laleh, Tomas Ledin, Mikael Wiehe, Eva Dahlgren and Lena Philipsson. E-Type and Lena Ph are the artists we're interested the most but we hope we'll get few more faves.
Artists were singing Tomas Ledin's songs this time. Lena Ph's performance was undoubtedly the most entertaining with loads of sexy poses and Lena filling every empty corner of a room with her passion. Though I'm a huge fan of E-Type, Martin was just too far from what was expected from him vocally but it was interesting to listen to his version of "Sommaren är kort", you should also check other covers below. You can also listen to studio-versions of songs here.

E-Type - Sommaren är kort
Mikael Wiehe - Blå blå känslor
Timbuktu - Snart tystnar musiken
Eva Dahlgren - Never again
Lena Philipsson - Sensuella Isabella
Laleh - Just nu!

Anders Lundin presented second episode of tv-show Allsång på Skansen and the biggest highlight for all pop-fan audience undoubtfully was performance of Eric Saade who presented two last singles - as always very well choreographed performance of "Manboy" and "Break Of Dawn" with funny moment of leading out on the stage happy crazy fan in the end. Winners of Dansbandskampen The Playtones performed Alexander Rybak's "Fairytale" and their own song "Excuse Me". Also audience could enjoy performance of Mikael Wiehe, Marie Küler, Marie Bergman, Wille Craaford & Marika Willstedt (you could see Marika on Melodifestivalen-2010 performing with Jessica Andersson on cello), foreign guests invited to Skansen were Australian Ten Tenors.
