Swedish~ Stereo~

This week Darin has logically slowed down the tempo to make a cover of Miss Li's "I Can't Get You Off My Mind" at Så Mycket Bättre. We had his dance-versions two weeks in a row so another track he worked with has turned to dramatic retro pop pop-ballad reminding me Maria Haukaas Storeng's "Hold On Be Strong". You never heard Darin like this before and it's an interesting experience, my least favorite so far (after "Stockholm" and "En apa som liknar dig") but nice anyway.

It's getting harder to surprise us with some new faces we didn't see on other shows this summer but still we have some nice artists we don't mind to watch once again. Darin has made an energetic performance of his summer single "Nobody Knows". David Lindgren and Miss Li have already performed latest singles. Sons Of Midnight were foreign guests of this week.

Miss Li - My heart goes boom
Dansmedley med Urban angels, P*erfect, Micina och Grounded
Hey baberibas - Dirty dancing
Sons of Midnight - The fire

I've lost a path of latest few weeks of Allsång på Skansen and Lotta På Liseberg shows so I've decided to summarize them in one post if you've missed.
Andreas Weise has presented his solo-stuff on both shows - "Another Saturday Night" and his own song "Shine".
Really was nice to see Christer Björkman doing "I morgon är en annan dag" that he was singing back in 1992 at Eurovision in Malmö. Hopefully next year's Melodifestivalen winner will be much more lucky than Christer was.
Icona Pop definitely was on fire and after their Allsång performance were praised by iTunes #1.
Tomas Ledin had a tribute at Allsång and not just Sarah Dawn Finer has come out on stage with him but David Lindgren, Niklas Strömstedt, E-Type and Måns have joined to sing Tomas' Melodifestivalen history here at 47.16. Later you can also watch Tomas singing with Eva Dahlgren.
Sonja Alden has come back on TV to perform lovely summer schlager "Våga" from her latest album in Liseberg, Björn Ranelid has brought sweet Sara Li to Skansen and Caroline af Ugglas doesn't miss summer TV-season since her Melodifestivalen breakthrough.

Linda Therese Carlsson aka Miss Li has become one of the names to enter line-up of upcoming Så mycket bättre - the show which can bring career to the highest heights not less effectively than Melodifestivalen.
Miss Li is pretty recognizable in Sweden after a series of well-sold albums released since 2007, Top-10 hit "Oh Boy" and #1 dup with Lars Winnerbäck "Om du lämnade mig nu". With her original jazz-pop style Linda is definitely gonna be a special character of new Så mycket bättre.
Now Miss Li comes up with a new single "My Heart Goes Boom" dancing between Amanda Jenssen's screaming jazz-rock and Lykke Li's wild drum party when Linda looks a bit Lena Meyer-Landrut in a new video.

...You could see Ola Svensson singing Tomas Ledin's song "En Dag På Stranden" on the stage of Skansen on National Day...

...Carola performing her new single "Det är bara vi" devoted to wedding of princess Victoria...



...Eric Gadd with his last single "Rise Up!" and well-known back-vocalists (Thérèse Löf, Michael Blomqvist and Anna Andersson) behind him (MF-2011 warning???) on a beautiful stage on Skeppsbron...



...Sarah Dawn Finer covering the winner of Eurovision-2010...



... Kalle Moraeus just having sold his new album golden with the song that really helped him with it...



and also

...especially popular these days band Johnossi performing their hit-single "What's The Point?"...

...Cookies N Beans covering Bee Gees classics "Islands In The Stream"...

... Timo Räisänen performing his last single "Outcast"...

...Rigo performing on National Day Swedish song "Stockholms Ström" (no ideas about where it came from)...

and Miss Li with really nice performance of her "Bourgeois Shangri-La".

If you're still gonna be in Stockholm in close future, don't forget to check programme of LOVE Stockholm 2010 or take a look at this short programme from Aftonbladet.
