BWO Feat. VELVET Take on the U K -LIVE & with "Right Here Right Now" single

BWO are about to take on the U K market with the
latest release from Big Science Album
'Right Her Right Now'
Then with this new Mix they have a secret weapon of the
Fun-Tasic singer
Velvet doing back-up.
She brought us 'The Queen' from her
new album and in Melodifestivalen 2009.





Yet Sweden did not pick either of these great
Artists for there Melodifestivalen Final 11 at Globen !

Its been a BIG week for BWO who thanks to 'scandipop' did a
LIVE show at Borderline in LONDON Town, its been over a year since
BWO performed in the U K They sang a 9-song set to over 200
strong UK Fan base. See some great pics & report at

Let hope the Brits take the new single both to their
Hearts N The Charts!

Big Frocks & Big Ballads in Disneyland- Leksand!


The first reports are coming out of Leksand from Melodifestivalen 3rd semi final rehearsals. We have already reached the half way mark! Saturday's show looks like real battle of the ballads. Which I think may not be to Sweden's advantage to send another ballad to Moscow. It began with Jade's 'My Time' last month, since Sir Andrew L Webber's Epic, a flood of entry's have come in for ESC 2009 as big ballads.
BWO have a electro ballad with a massive chorus, a bit different for them- this already looks set to be the favourite to qualify this week. I have my glow-stick ready to wave for BWO as they can do no wrong.
Another big ballad is from Molly Sanden, she is looking to fill the gap left in Mf without Sonja Sanna & Shirley Clamp already out. Written by Bobby Ljunggren they are calling this tune- a credible Disney ballad . On the subject of Disney, our Velvet has a upbeat dance song thats fantastic-with an added advantage of biggest Disney-style Dress ever- Well the song is called 'The Queen' . (see STV Clip below)
Lets not forget the idol Boys EMD they are very popular in sweden, their song 'Baby Goodbye' is said to be more of a Musical style... But not a ballad thankfully, its up beat. Finally the 'Velvet' name has been pinched by the Spice Girlies in Norway & it seems over in Oslo's MGP Final they may have to change to become 'Velvet Inc' instead. Just as long as Alexander Rybak does not change a thing- he gets our Norsk vote.

Lets HEAR IT FOR THE GIRLS in LEKSAND- MOLLY, VELVET, MAJA & SOFIA!


On Saturday 21st Feb we have in our 8 song selections- 4 solo female artists No Less ! so it could end up with a bit of a-Diva-Jam- on the Mf Stage! as all 4 diva's rush from the artists sofa to be in for the 1st duel play-off!
So who are these ladies ? what can they offer?

1-Velvet , we know her from last year - if you think it is a 'deja vu'- its not, cus she was singing in Mf 2008. In fact her power dance tune 'deja vu' created a major upset with an early exit from Mf, it was most unfair. Yet she scored a major chart hit - Velvet's new tune 'The Queen' is from songwriting team who wrote 'Love in Stereo', and part of a terrific new dance album.

2-Molly Sanden, could well steal Little Amy's glory! As Molly already represented Sweden in Jnr ESC 2006 with 'Det finaste nagon Kan Fa' For 2009 she has a powerful ballad 'Sa Vill Stjarnorna' combining songwriter's Pling Forsman & Bobby Ljunggren it may turn out to be the 'ballad for Globen' missing so far in melodifestivalen 2009.

3-Maja Gullstrand, a previous jazz singer from fame factory Tv show Her tune "Har for mig sjalv"is wrote by Sir Thomas G'Son- Who already gave us 'Show me Heaven' already he is having a bumper year so far.

4- Sofia- She gave us 'Hypnotized' in Mf 2006 - Returning with a song called "Alla" a rock pop song with a great riff ( what? another Mf Rock chick )

Lets wait & see which diva will out shine the other- how schlager tasic!
