"Sensitized" - Christophe Willem & Kylie Minogue.

Not being too familiar with the most recent work of Ms Minogue, I was therefore unaware that this initially belonged to her and that Christophe's version is a cover - with the very nice twist of duetting with the original artist.

Christophe is one of the most original and inventive reality TV talent show winners anywhere in the world: not only did he make a cracking debut album but he followed it with an ambitious and contemporary-sounding second album, although I felt it could have done with some more catchy songs in the style of "Double Je" and "Kiss The Bride". Still, I guess it is a good sign that he is progressing as a true artist.

This song is a deliciously frothy bilingual mix which should (and probably will) appeal to fans of both artists.

Resume of semifinal 1 in Örnsköldsvik, 6th February
According to my impression it will be a very tough start with well known artists such as Salem Al Fakir, Anders Ekborg, Ola Svensson and Melodifestivalen veteran Jessica Andersson.
Min bedömning är att det blir en tuff start med välkända artister som Salem Al Fakir, Anders Ekborg, Ola Svensson och Melodifestivalen veteranen Jessica Andersson.


Anders and Salem are newcomers
but have a broad audience among
the Swedish people.


Anders och Salem är nykomlingar men har en bred beundrarskara.




Ola Svensson recently won “Körslaget” - a TV-program with competition between choirs. He has participated in MF 2008 with the song “Love In Stereo”.
Ola tog hem segern i TV-programmet Körslaget helt nyligen. Han deltog 2008 i MF med låten “Love In Stereo”.




For Jessica it is the 5th session in this circus. First time was 2003 when Fame (Jessica and Magnus Bäcklund) won and ended up 5th in the Eurovision Song Contest in Riga with the entry “Give Me Your Love”.
Jessica Anderson gör sin femte session i denna cirkus. Första gången var 2003 när duon Fame vann och sedan blev femma i Eurovisionen i Riga med “Give Me Your Love”.




Pain of Salvation and Frispråkarn (his real name is Håkan Bäckman) are both completely unknown for me.

Pain of Salvation och Frispråkarn(eller Håkan Bäckman som han egentligen) är båda helt obekanta för mig.


Jenny Silver (born Öhlund) has a back ground as singer in a traditional dance band, Candela, during 1991-97. Since that she a changed her style dramatically and it will be very interesting to see what she comes up with.
Jenny Silver, född Öhlund, har en bakgrund som dansbandssångerska i bandet Candela under 1990-talet. Sedan dess har hon fullständigt ändrat stil och det ska bli intressant att se vad hon kommer att framföra i MF.
