The NEW Barbados are 'Scotts' taking over in the ole Dansban-land



They are being called the new Barbados, the Dansband that in the mid 90's that gave us the fun-tastic Magnus Carlsson. Barbados gave us some great Melodifestivalen songs of recent years 'Se Mig' & 'Allt som jag ser' came 2nd followed by 'Varlden utanfor' came 4 th in 2002. At the same time they built a solid following thought the land as the top Dansband of the time.
Scotts make their debut in Goteburg Semi Final with 'Jag tror pa oss'  & certainly Scotts seem to have stepped into the dansband void left behind by Barbados. I hope they will at least make it to Globen. The Blond lead singer 
Henrik Stromberg does hold some of the appeal of Magnus, however with a somewhat different vocal style. Having taken runner up prize in 'DansbandsKampen' TV Talent Show in 2008 (see vid clip below) so they certainly know how to pull in the swedish public votes. Plus Scotts do a great cover of 'Angels' and have a rather great new Album the No;1 selling album in sweden
      just released last month             På Vårt Sätt.
