MELODIFESTIVALEN Time Machine 1992- with Kikki Danielsson and Maria Rådsten (One More Time)



The next stop on the MF Time Machine is March 14th 1992 at Cirkus in Stockholm. When after Carola's win at ESC 1991, Sweden went from 1st to almost Last! as Christer Bjorkman (himself) won Melodifestivalen 1992 with a ballad wrote by Niklas Stromstedt ' I morgon är en annan dag' (Tomorrow is another day) The song finished second last (22nd) with only 9 points. Still the tune became a popular Swedish hit peaking at 5- in the singles chart. And Christer went on to become Mr Mf of the 2000's & beyond.
The song festival had no shortage big names, with a Kikki Danielsson's comeback to Mf, (with song 'En Enda Gång') Wizex Feat. Lena Pålsson, Py Bäckman, Shan of The Shanes (60's band) Plus 2 singers from One More Time ( Peter Gronvall's new pop band ) Thérèse Löf and Maria Rådsten each sang an entry wrote by Nanne & Peter Grönvall for 1992. Maria's song 'Vad Som Än Händer' was the most popular, and during the cliff hanger voting she and Kikki lead the pack in the early stages. She finished up in 3 rd place, while Lena Pålsson's song "Som om himlen brann" was 2nd and a popular choice missing out by 5 points behind Christer's ballad.

Here is the best from 1992 the clip of 'Vad Som Än Händer'- which was translated into an english version 'I'll show you wonders'
one of the best tracks from One more Time's Highland release ( see previous post) Maria & Nanne waited 5 more years then took the MF winning prize in 1996 with 'Den Vilda'
