Will Nanne +One More Time- make it one more time for Eurovision in 2011?

Danny of EMD, Shirley Clamp & Sanna Nielsen, Lasse Stefanz and Lili & Susie are said to be certain names to perform in Melodifestivalen 2011. According to Aftonbladet (newspaper) last weekend they say Christer Bjorkman has a half full list of Stars. Who are going to make up a larger list of top names for 2011, the normal 4 Top Star jokers will increase next year to 15

Legend Nanne Grönvall is said to be certain for a comeback with her band One More Time, they did have 2 successful entries in the 80s Then One More Time won Melodifestivalen in 1996- they came 3rd at Eurovision with 'Den Vilda' More Melodifestivalen veterans in Sanna Nielsen and Shirley Clamp who
have been missing in recent line-ups.

two More Manboy's Go Direct to Globen

Last night was a full of tears and champagne in Sandviken,

after the second semi-final.

As expected Eric Saade with 'Manboy' was first off the ranks to go

into the Globen final, and

what a great performance he gave. He certainly reminde me of a

new Mans Zelmerlow, so it was ironic that Mans chatted to him

before presenting his winning reprise. Asking what is a Manboy?- or Eric should have said 'well you tell me Mans? !'

Nanne Gronwall has been quote as saying Eric is the act

to beaten so far in the Globen final, according to this schlager-diva

"he is the most dangerous, but may not win the prize !"

certainly dangerous he is with all that water and

AC/DC mix in his act. Along with Andreas Johnson's latest

"We can work it out" they both won the night, and celebrated until dawn.

There was some excellent songs, in this semi perhapes a little different.

All in all much better than semi 1, one such highlight

was 'Manipulated' very much in the vien of Lady Gaga-

I luved this tune and performance.

its just a real shame Hanna

got knocked out! while Pauline's 'Sucker for Love'

and the folk tune 'Underbart' by Kalle

Moraeus & Orsa went to 2nd Chance. So far we have an all male final -

Svt really are now Holding out for a Hero!

Nanne's reviews on Semi Final 2- are so true.

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'

FLASHBACK One More Time- 'Highland' (Extended Version)

One More Time - Nanne Grönwall, Maria Rådsten, Peter Grönwall & Therese Lof ( Peter is Benny Andersson's son ) As
a three piece they won Melodifestivalen back in 1996 with 'Den Vilda' I recently have been listening to 'Highland'
One More Time's superb album released in 1992. It certainly has that Papa Andersson influence even back in the early 90's. Another fascinating fact is the album was engineered by Hans Fredriksson, -who just happens to be Anni-Frid Lyngstad's son !
'Highland' would have been so much better as a Melodifestivalen Song for 1992, however way back then entry's were only sung in swedish due to Eurovision rules. If you hear this album again you will find like I did one more ... entry
from Melodifestivalen. Stay tuned to find out which one, & enjoy this fantastic video clip

MELODIFESTIVALEN Time Machine 1998 - 'Avundsjuk' -Nanne Grönvall

What a performance from Nanne Grönvall with her now most famous song and hit 'Avundsjuk' (Jealous) in 37th Melodifestivalen
contest in 1998. Strange but true Nanne only came 4 th this year with 35 points, as you watch this clip its
very clear to see how ahead of the times Peter Grönvall & Nanne Grönvall were. This song would have gone down a storm
in Eurovision today.
Yet the winner was the equally wonderful song wrote by Bobby Ljunggren & Ingela 'Pling' Forsman a ballad 'Kärleken är'
sung by a newcomer of 1998 Jill Johnson. The english title was 'Eternal Love' and infact the swedish original lyric
was inspired by the death of Princess Diana in 1997 in Paris.

This song became a Top 5 hit at home in Sweden and came 10 th in Eurovision Song Contest that year. It would be interesting
to see how Nanne would have done in 1998 if she had gone to met Dana International in ESC in Birmingham that year-
imagine these 2 Euro Diva's on the same night?
