Johnson & Häggkvist | One Love

In a Melodifestivalen season full of scandals and surprises, one of the biggest has to be the downfall of pre-contest favourites Johnson & Häggkvist (aka. Carola and Andreas Johnson). Carola has won the contest a record three times, and Andreas Johnson has made the top 5 in the final each time he has participated. So expectations were high, maybe a little too high?
Androla (as they have been dubbed by the Swedish media) missed out on a direct place in the final in Västerås, and then lost out in Andra Chansen to the criminally abysmal Nordman... There was lots of talk of sabotage and whatnot, but in S-pop's opinion it was more to do with the fact that the song just wasn't that good, and the performance seemed rather amateurish.
However, with the studio version now available, the song works so much better, sounding much more anthemic and energetic.

Carola | I Believe In Love

I Believe In Love was the second release from Carola's 2001 English album My Show, and is one of the very few Carola singles to have a video! Though if you feel like checking out the video, I must warn you, it contains graphic scenes of hair that may not be suitable for small children. The single peaked at #13 on the Swedish charts, but was a sizeable radio hit.

01 I Believe In Love (Radio Hitvision Remix)

Johnson & Häggkvist


Melodifestivalen begins tonight, and the whole country has gone schlager-crazy! One of the biggest acts participating this year is the newly formed superduo Johnson & Häggkvist, made up of Schlagerqueen Carola and the charming, though slightly greasy Andreas Johnson. Here for your listening delight is their first single, released a couple of weeks ago as a download-only single. Hope you enjoy it!
