Loreen wins Eurovision 2012 for Sweden!

Oh my god! How amazing was it???? I was on the edge of my seat feeling tied up in knots as the scores rolled in. Could it be true? Could Sweden win for the first time since 1999? Could the mysterious, amazing Loreen go all the way? YES, YES, YES!!! It was surreal to watch. [...]

Loreen’s “Euphoria” – the Zoo version! Unmissable!

An English guy has put together a wonderfully fun video to support Sweden’s Loreen at Eurovision. The Zoo Version of Euphoria. Paradise Wildlife Park in the UK – you are fabulous! Thank you!!!! Let’s hope everyone gives Loreen 12 points!!!!

Who are we voting for in Eurovision 2012?

It’s only a week away….Eurovision 2012. The artists are in Baku rehearsing for their big moment and the publicity campaigns are in full swing. There are a few strong contenders this year but the vibe seems to be that Sweden is in with a strong chance. Loreen’s “Euphoria” had a dream run in Melodifestivalen, the [...]

It’s that time of year again…

Melodifestivalen 2012 is underway and the first semifinal had a pretty cool opening sequence. Not quite up to 2009 standards (my favourite year) but not too shabby! Tonight is the second semifinal and then we have the third, fourth, second chance final and of course, the final itself! Then you have to buy the CD [...]

Eric Saade & Danny Saucedo … sharing a crush!

I have to thank my good friend James O’Brien for pointing out this piece of campness to me. Eric & Danny’s hijinks turned into a video montage to the tune of “Crush”. No doubt the conspiracy theorists will be beside themselves shouting “see, they ARE Gay, I knew it all along!” Good on Eric and Danny [...]

Le Kid – We Should Go Home Together

Since Le Kid’s fantastic album arrived in the post a few weeks ago, I’ve got a new favourite song on repeat! We Should Go Home Together is a classic slice of perfect pop from Le Kid. And the clip is uber-camp in the way that only Le Kid could pull off! Le Kid’s album “Oh [...]

Eric Saade Volume 2

Woooh! This just surfaced about 24 hour ago and seems to be the cover for Eric Saade Volume 2 which is to be released in November. If it is the cover, it is absolutely stunning and so much better than the Volume 1 cover – and he’s not fake white anymore! He actually really looks [...]

Song for a sunny Sunday morning

It’s a bright, sunny Sunday morning out there and I have just the song to get me in the mood to get up and get out and enjoy the day… Le Kid were one of the entries in this year’s Melodifestivalen that immediately struck a cord with me. Happy, fun pop that was full of [...]

My name is Lena Philipsson

If you can imagine two Australian Gay men walking around Stockholm – separately and together – randomly saying “Mitt namn är Lena Philipsson”….well, you have James and myself  in Sweden two weeks ago. We’d been at GoldenHits bar/club the night before for their mega-schlager night and someone requested this song – “Lena Anthem”. James immediately [...]
