Schlager FEVER in Malmo before the heated 2nd Chance Round



The last semi final in Malmo- turned out to be another schlager victory this time for
Linda Bengtzing with her new upbeat tune 'E del fel pa mig?' The second Globen place
went to rocker Nicke Borg with his rock ballad 'Coming home' this means one of the favourites had to miss out. This time it was Melody Club with 'The Hunter' which finished in 5 th place.

Other faves Love Generation went on to 2nd Chance together with Linda Pritchard who gave us a performance to remember with 'Alive' This weekend is all set for the Second chance round...
the duel- that has created lots of schalger interest is Jenny Silver vs Love Generation. It seems so unfair to match these 2 great song against each other, we are hoping Jenny can hold off the Love Gen girls to finally getto Globen with the schlager-tastic 'Something in your eyes'

-We did rather like Anders Fernette's performance 'Run' it did not qualify in Malmo- nexttime Anders

Jenny does Schlager- and not just in Lulea! in denmark too?



It looks like a most exciting start to Melodifestivalen 2011- with the first semi final in Lulea. There has been a few review & rehearsals taken place. The top favourites at the moment is Danny of EMD, Pernilla Andersson, Jenny Silver. Jenny debuted in 2010 with 'A place to be' a Minogue-eque song that was one of the best of last year- yet missed out on qualifing outside the semi-final.
Now jenny has gone completely schlager with 'Something in your eyes' and with songwriting credits from Thomas G:Son who has brough us many schlager classics in the past.
With Freinds entry 'Listen to your heartbeat' & Carola's mightly 'Invincible' & 'Vem e du vill ha' back in 2002 for Kikki Lotta & Bettan. To name just a few- then last year for Denmark 'In a moment like this' that gave Denmark 4th place in Oslo 2010. So it's really no surprise to see G:Son featured twice with songs in Melodifestivalen 2011 ( he wrote Sanna Nielsen's I'm in Love')
As well as in Dansk Melodi Grand Prix over in Denmark -2 more songs choosen for the danes final in a few weeks.

The first reviews for Jenny silver's entry is a real return to G:Son form - just classic schlager with an Abba-like chorus- with an amazing key change, and even simular to a recent remix of 'Fantasy Island' Tight Fit's 80's hit - that we all adore. All this and a fab frock to boot!

ohhhh.. I feel a historical schlager-moment could well be born in Lulea on saturday.

check out this great clip & interview that reveals the new Jenny silver -look for 'Something in your eyes' (in fact in this clip-she looks almost like a swedish jennifer saunders!!)

Meanwile the danish Schlager G:Son entry is another 'Jenny'- with non other than 90's singer Jenny Berggren from Ace of Base- She recently started her own solo career as ole Ace of Base reformed in 2010- with two replacement girl singers. Ace of base- had been rumoured to take a song into Melodifestivalen/Eurovision for about the past 8 years - yet it just never happened. So maybe now Jenny-does-Schlager in MGP, they may at last take to the Eurovision stage -even if its one Ace of Base member..her song is 'Let your heart be mine' good luck- to both the Jenny's
for a possible Dusseldorf -schlager battle? who knows.
