BWO XL Live..watch and enjoy

http://www.expressen.tv/noje/XL%2BLive/1.1397511/bwo-spelar-live

They played Right Here Right Now and You're not Alone.

Though I am probably one of the most spoiled fans, to have been able to see them so much, I can tell that I have longed to see them back on stage again. I know when I saw the last concert in Helsinki in October, I thought this will be a llloooooooonggg Winter. It felt a bit sad. But then Melodifestivalen came..going to Leksand and then in my hometown in Second chance ( though I wished them to Globen!). You're not Alone will always be for me a magic song. Winter, snow, cold, ice, dark and Leksand, but never did I feel Alone !!!

Right Here Right Now is growing and growing and growing. Is great to feel the music inside of me !

Thanks again to the best gang of all, BWO...Alexander, Martin and Marina !!

BWO live 31/3 13.00 at expressen.se

Now all is confirmed. They will play live at expressen.se tomorrow 13.00 (1PM) Swedish time.
We changed to Summertime this weekend, so if you haven't done that you should know that we have moved the clock one hour forward (so last week 13.00 was 12.00).
I am excited for what we will hear. My mind is full of new BWO sound. I am listening and listening....so lovely. Like when I heard "You're not Alone" first time and especially live in Ejendals arena in Leksand....there are no words to express the feelings enough. Just like I said then MAGIC !

Big Science..my first thoughts

I am listening and can't stop. I know I should maybe try so sleep, but pain keeps me always awake..and to have company of a great new album is avesome !

What is interesting for me is to discover what is behind everything. Listen to lyrics, see who has written and done what. Feelings etc. When we were at the general repetition at Second chance in Norrköping the choir girl Britta Bergström jumped in for Sarah Dawn Finer as she had a cold and needed to rest. I felt bad for Sarah. But for me that was interesting to see Britta and now discover that she is doing the background vocals at Big Science. She is a great singer..and here you have a photo of her.

Live at expressen.se Tuesday 31/3 !

Yes, BWO will play live at expressen.se on Tuesday. When I have the link you will find that here.
And congrats to our Katarzyna to having here poster publiced in Expressen ! That is what you see when you enter the link to listen at the album. More to come !

Exclusively listen to BWO Big Science through Expressen

OK, girls and boys, ladies and men...here is the link...WOW...

Home again....

I just had a phonecall waking me up.....and I started talking English..with my mom..hmmmmm....
People can really have influence over you.
Today was packing day and getting together talking a bit before everyone split up.
Natsuki from Japan left us already yesterday evening as she had an early morning flight today.
In afternoon Jurgen and Jenny left, so Thomas, our leader and I spent some hours together. I guess we both were very exhausted after all impressions, late nights and early mornings.
Sad to leave everyone and not knowing when to see each other again...but thanks to Internet we can connect to each other meanwhile.
I wish that everyone would be able join and have such weekend as we have had.
Now we have the now album " Big Science" to look forward too..and I am sure we will soon meet again.
BWO...Alexander, Marina and Martin..you are the cause to bringing all us people together and we thank you deeply for that.

Stockholm day 4: BWO fanclub birthday and dinner with BWO

After seing Alcazar we took the trains and all elevators. My gosh if you are in wheelchair you really depends on all those elevators to be able get around with the subway.
The elevators are stinky in different levels...some are so bad that you just want to jump out from them even before you get into them. You can smell everything from long way even when the doors are closed. So we just loooovvve those elevators...NOT !
When coming back to hotel everyone took time to freshen up and rest shortly.
Then Natsuki met up with us and we made our way to the Göken where we would meet our big idols.
We came there and everything was fixed so well with a cozy sofa and table very inviting for us all. The table had something very good looking glimmering. They had made a BWO sign.
We felt very invited.
After a while first Martin came with as big smile on his face. And not far after Marina and Alexander arrived shortly after together.
I write just shortly now. But they took 2 hours with us chatting with us and making out a lovely dinner. What more can we ask for at the Fan club birthday ! We also gave them the album that they thanked for and you could tell they were surprised. Was a lovely time.
We will share all with you very soon.
Thanks Alexander, Marina and Martin for being so sweet ! We love you !

Stockholm day 4: Meeting Alcazar

This day started off early with the Dutch making a mess in my room, but what's new ! That has happened some days before in a row.
Anyways we meet up early today as we were going to see Alcazar performing in Upplands Väsby and that is almost 45 minutes way from the hotel.
All went well until we went on wrong train and ended up going for free on a SJ train to Uppsala. Luckily us we could get off in Märsta and take an SL train back to Upplands Väsby. Someone got a bit upset and maybe nervous that we wouldn't make it in time. Noone mentioned !
We had a bit to walk and ended up in front of a crowded stage. But of course I used to the contacts and got a good spot to take photos from and I also got some words with Alcazar to tell them that the BWO fanclub was there. So they took time after the signing to meet up with us for photos and some chatting. They played 3 songs and of course we got to here Stay the Night. They also started dancing exactly same steps as EMD did yesterday at Melodifestivalen. Very cool.
Very nice people ! And when they heard that we would meet up BWO they did send best regards to them.

And Jenny....

Some more photos from yesterday

Thomas and the Dutch !

Stockholm day 3: continued

So here we are sitting at the breakfast table and thinking of yesterday. I think we have mixed feelings about the winner in Melodifestivalen, but we all agree that we are happy that Af Ugglas didn't win...what a blessing !

I myself just love Fredrik Kempe and Malena Ernman singing.

So here is the rapport from what we did yesterday more explained in feelings.

Seeing Poodles was interesting cause they played live and we talked a word with them after and Jurgen of course wanted a photo of him and the band. They had come from Sälen a Winter resort and said they had a bit of hangover, but you really couldn't tell that.

Markolioo was also there, but we didn't have time to see him, though I had time to take some fast photos.

Then after Jenny arrived, a very nice and wellbehaved girl ( at least if you compare with me, the Dutch and the German) we did go see Man Meadow. Ahh they are really good on stage performing and also good looking ( too young for me though). After we bought cds, talked with them and also took som photos. Really nice guys.

So time for the Final and find the seats. Globen is sooooo huge inside and you feel tiny when you get in there, but also get speechless or say as Thomas do unbelieveable and amazing !

We did sit in 2 different places, Jenny and Thomas near green room on right side of stage and me and the Dutch right across the stage. We ended up coming from 4 countries when I tried to get seats for all of us together in same space, so that evening I was from Poland and Jenny from Russia...haha...so hysterical. Wonder if me and Martin can talk tonight when we meet them...I doubt that !

Then everything started..what an act and what a sight. If you haven't experienced this you should go. I just don't have words for this.

We had a lovely time and cheered for almost every song.

So when we got to know that Malena Ernman took the first place right before Af Ugglas..we just screamed !

I think about everyone in Stockholm last night did sing opera. Was a lovely feeling to sing everyone together on subway at MC and every corner of Stockholm.

Stockholm rules, a very nice city and I love to be here...so also do Jenny. We just talked about that.

After we got back here of course I got the crazy Dutch with me to my room..he can't find his hotel I guess. We fell asleep very late and now we are back on track again...so today we will see Alcazar and then we have a meeting with the band we love most in the world.

Alexander, Marina and Martin...we all long for you...seee you in some hours. Hugs and kisses meanwhile from us !

Stockholm day 3: FINAL

Ohh I am tired but I think I need to write down a few words.

The third day has been a lot. This morning when the Dutch had left, Thomas and I went to get photos and worked on the album and uploaded photos.

After that when the Dutch came back, Jurgen and I went to Globen City to see The Poodles.

Thomas went to the Centralstation to meet up Jenny from Malmö.

We all got together at Globen and watched Man Meadow before going to the final.

The Final was a blast really...I will explain more later.

Anyways the 4 of us had a good night...but as I said we are tired so more will come tomorrow morning....stay tuned.

Meanwhile a photo from inside the Globen....when the Winner Malena Ernman is on stage.

What do you think ? Was she the best ?

I was in a voting at Gylleneskor and I voted her as first and Alcazar as second.

See ya early tomorrow morning...good night !

Stockholm day 2: partying with Titiyo

Yesterday after a long day out something weird happened. First of all we couldn't get Jurgen out of our hotel and come back cause the red carpet was out and a private party was held here.
So he stayed and we got to know that Titiyo was here performing.
Strange was that we didn't get to see her, but when Jurgen was supposed to go home to his hotel and get the belonging from my room and we came up with the elevator, suddenly she stood there in front of us and we started talking. Soon we were invited to a little getting together they had. We also met Whales, a wonderful guy that is soon releasing his really "own" music. He sings amazing ! He sang for us. Then later when Titiyo went away out we followed Whales down for a beer. Was a really different eve then we had asked for.
We also met up with Next 3 that knows my son. One of the guys live as neighbor to me in my hometown. Was really interesting to talk with them about Melodifestivalen.
Soon day 3 will be up....you just wait !

Stockholm day 2: Meeting with Lili & Susie

After waking up I met Thomas down in the lobby for some coffee and talking about the fanclub. After a while I saw something outside the window and there the Dutch( Jurgen) was.

This day was planned to go to Globen City and watch and meet Lili & Susie, so after some more BWO language we made our way with the sub.

Lili & Susie was as lovely as ever on stage and we waited for a long while after to finally get a chat with them and some photos. The funny thing was when we was sitting down having lunch after guess who followed us ?! Yes, Lili & Susie. So we had them the table next us and we really enjoyed ourselves talking with them. How cool was that.

Now we have been to a cd shop buying some items and are having a cup of coffee and take some time to share some words with you. More will come later...you never know what happens when some BWO fans meet up in the big city !

BWO Fanclub meeting Stockholm day 1

Finally we have met, me...the blog Nettan and Thomas that made BWO Fanclub Worlwide.

Amazing to meet people you have been in contact with for so long.

Also Jurgen from Holland and Natsuki from Japan joined us today.

We talk so different languages, but in bottom we have one platform in language...the BWO language. And of course English !

We have just started to getting to know each other and made some plans for the nearest days.

Of course you will be able follow us through here.

I just need to tell what I think...these are wonderful people everyone. Welcome to Sweden !

Once again Alexander, Martin and Marina thank you..cause you brought us together.

Getting to sleep with a smile on my face.

Stockholm !

Now I am in Stockholm. Went for lunch with my cousin that lives here after checking in at the hotel. She showed me around to some wonderful shops ( she has lived in England for many years).

When I checked in at the hotel I got the cd that you can see on the photo. I know artists that will be in Melodifestivalen stays at this hotel...so how hard is that to understand who that is !

Have freshen up a bit and now impatiently waiting for the rest of the crew.

Packing day and excitement

Tomorrow I am heading by train to Stockholm for BWO fanclub meeting and Melodifestivalen Final in Globen.
When I woke up( or got up as I didn't sleep anything) this morning, the ground was white...AGAIN ! Well, I don't mind really..less dirt now !
Yesterday I had to go by a new suitcase, my kids have stolen everyone..haha..daughter moved out in January...bye bye suitcases and bags and son went to mountains Monday morning. Snowboard equipment take space so he needed 3 suitcases. I guess he overloaded the bus !
I bought me one of those fancy in metallic. My husband was jealous of me..I told him..pick out your accordion from the case and you can use that one..very big LOL

I remind you about the BWO album/book...if you have anything you want to add email us and we will print that out and paste..but please do that today. You find the e-mail on the website.

We will keep the blog updated during the weekend in Stockholm..so stay tuned for freshest news.
PS. Alexander liked the fans version of "You're not Alone". Wonder if they will hire us for next video...can't wait !

Questions for BWO

The weekend is coming closer and the BWO Fanclub Worldwide fanmeeting is soon beginning.
If you have any questions that you want to ask Alexander, Martin and Marina please send them to us and we will do our best to forward them.
You can write to fanmeeting@bwo-fanclub.com

The fans version of "You're not Alone"

As I told you yesterday, we made a video just before leaving the schlagerparty. I do believe that BWO will manage the concurrence from us and go out from this as champions !
Enjoy the video and remember this was 2.30 in middle of the second party night !

Time to get going again and new adventures.

I had a marvellous week and when the sisters came from Sundsvall this weekend the time together was avesome. Feels like we have known each other forever, though we only have met once and that was in Leksand 2 weeks ago.

Today has really been an under water day...haha I believe that many have felt the same.

Norrköping seems to be a good party city. We went to bed at 4, but I know that many stayed up several hours more.

After the competition yesterday we went to the Schlagerparty at Flygeln. Only Swedish Schlagers were played. And Herrey's that won Eurovision 1984 with Diggiloo Diggiley was there performing live on stage. But the party feeling wasn't there so we 3 girls asked for BWO music and danced all night long after that. At 2.30 in the morning we were the last one on the dancefloor, so we asked for "You're not Alone" and when we danced around, we did at same time make a video. That will be uploaded soon at http://www.bwo-fanclub.com/ . I bet you will have a good laugh. We will dedicate this video to Alexander, Marina and Martin as thank you for always thinking of us fans . We love you !

So stay tuned to see that one some of the nearest days.

Now the planning starts for next weekend and already on Thursday morning I take the train to Stockholm for The BWO Fanclub Worldwide Meeting Vol. 1 !

If you want to attend you find the mailadress at the website to contact us for further information. Some of us will also see the Final of Melodifestivalen( I am one of them.)

Will be a hectic week with a lot to do...but I don't complain..this really makes me living.

Tomorrow eve you will find a report and some photos from Norrköping on the website.

I remember what Thomas once said was something like a BWO life is a fanlife...or was is funlife.

I agree to both though.

Also the sisters are back in Sundsvall if you wonder. They had to drive through snowstorm for several hours. Well done girls and welcome back to me whenever you want to.

OK all for today..more will come tomorrow. Herrey's on the photo.

Not to final..but best performance ever !

Alexander, Martin and Marina did a wonderful performance in Norrköping in Second chance.
The Swedish people though voted different and had Caroline Af Ugglas and Sarah Dawn Finer to Final. And the international jury did choose Sofia.
But we BWO fans who sat their had something lovely to look at...a BWO group doing something magic.
BWO you are the best always...we don't need to have you in Melodifestivalen final.
The music you compose mixed with the 3 personalities you have all together gives us something for life. And that is better then any Final !
Thank you !!!!

Today is the day...vote BWO

Well the day has come...time for Second chance. This week has been full of surprises and lots of fun. I have really enjoyed Melodifestivalen 100%.

We were all a bit tired this morning considering the long day yesterday. And then thinking of what artists go through makes you really admire them.

When Marina is back to Sweden today and the band is complete again, we can only wish them best of luck. We will be there for you and give you all support we can give you from our deepest inner of our hearts. Hope you feel that Alexander, Martin and Marina. You are really worthy to win.

Earlier today we had the opportunity to meet Alexander and Martin ( Marina was at the train on her way to Norrköping) in the hotel lounge.

We talked a lot about "You're not Alone" and also about Big Science. Was really interesting to hear what is behind everything and how they think and compose the music. As being the fans we are, we can see what they mean and understand. But will the rest of the Swedes understand today ?

Thanks for always being so sweet guys.

Now we are sitting here after some lunch and coffee preparing ourselves for the big eve.

And we will do all what we can in our power to be a good support.

So remember to look at http://www.svt.se/ at 8PM Swedish time...and if you can VOTE BWO !

The photo is from general repetition taken by Annelie for BWO Worldwide Fanclub !

Party day more or less...

This day has been quick and full of adventures. While Ann-Sofie and Annelie headed down in Jettan by the eastcoast of Sweden, I tried to sort some stuff for the evening.

Finally we meet and we got very busy to handle all out and on the photo that was published in Norrköping Tidningar(NT), the daily newspaper, you can see how we looked.

We did go to General repetition and cause of the duels we got to hear BWO, not only once..TWICE. Märta did an excellent job as stand-in for Marina. But we missed you..good to have you back tomorrow. Like in Leksand the song is absolutely gorgeous and if someone says something else...well then it's time to wake up and vote for Alexander, Marina and Martin tomorrow !

After we went home to me and eat some and then headed down for some dancing and having fun downtown at the "Star" hotel ! Was fun and Ann-So and Annelie also got to go by tram, which they enjoyed a lot(ohh well some people is easy to entertain !).

Tomorrow we have a date with our favoritband and then the competition is and a big schlagerparty. Stay tuned for more..this is just the beginning !

What a day ! Lili & Susie and BWO.

The day started off here very grey and with no sleep ( blamed that on too much thinking, but to be honest my Alien - the left knee kept me company...hey BWO can't you send him to outer space with your spaceship ? I am tired of him not speaking my language..ohh well...)

But coffee is good and that makes the head going and the eyes wide opened !

So after lunch I wheeled down to Grand hotel, our fashion here in this town. There I meet people for 24NT and we started talking. First their was an interview with Lili & Susie. Amazing was that they recognized ME after just some minutes of talking yesterday. So some words and then 24NT made an interview with them, I sat besides. After they took plenty of time to talk with me, we had a lot to discuss. They love animals and work for animals protection and welfare and soon they will have yet another serie on TV about their work. So Jurgen I have fixed photos for you and autographs..you welcome ! They will release an album 17th of April.

And then Martin came down. I think that they were pretty surprised at 24NT when he came hugging me. After a while Alexander came down and I got a throw away kiss. The interview was on with 24 NT and Sandra(reporter) asked questions. They talked a bit about Märta Grauers as the stand in for Marina, about Big science, about Melodifestivalen. ( All will come on a video).

After Alexander and Martin took time for me and we had a good chat. Well sorry Alex and Martin..I wished my head had been more open cause I had lots of questions for you. Ohhh well I will save them for next time. I guess my lack of sleep made 2 interviews after each other like someone had blown my head...scarey thought !

I liked to hear about Big science that this is about Outer space but also science mixed with love and feelings. I can really feel the difference in You're not Alone compared to the other albums...BWO has grown in a lovely way.

I also heard some whispers about a tour, some Rix FM festival, but all depends on Japan and of course Melodifestivalen.

And they say hello to you all !

Thanks Martin and Alexander !! You are always so sweet ! You keep me smiling no matter ! Love you guys !

After this I headed down to Maxi-huset a big store to watch kids performing songs for Melodifestivalen and compete against each other where highest applause made them go to final tomorrow at Linden downtown. They were so cute and sang so good many of them. This was singback and between age 6-12 years. Wished I had been younger...and guess what I would have sung ? Poor fellows that would hear me !

This is my day in some words.

Now I am sitting in the sofa and my son has made dinner...lovely. More to come soon !

Second chance week is opened.

Yes, now the countdown has stopped. They came by tram Queenstreet up to one of the big stores, some of the artists. Of course the red carpet was handed out.

Many people in different ages came to hear the artists answering some questions and to have an autograph or get a photo of their idols. The artists who came was Rigo & The Topaz Sound Feat. Red Fox, Amy Diamond, Scotts, Lili & Susie and Star Pilots. Star Pilots didn't stay long cause they were exhausted, but they will perform downtown and write autographs on Saturday lunch.

Rigo and the gang also did sing their contribution "I got U". What an act ! I didn't like this one in beginning. I did see them in Leksand also. But now..WOW !

I am amazed that all artists can handle all people and look so happy always. Especially Amy as she is so young.

Well, I did like everyone else and got autographs, some words with the artists and photos.

The arrangement was very well done and everything was so nice almost cozy.

Tomorrow I will be on some artist interviews and also see Amy Diamond perform.

Stay tuned for more news ! Also read the website.

And so a photo of Amy Diamond taken by me. Enjoy !

The artists are coming today.

Today the artists are showing up in Norrköping and the upcoming next days will be full of happenings.
There are a lot of discussions going on about Second chance competition as the way that is held is different against the partcompetitions. Here you have 4 duels to start off with:
Scotts/ Sarah Dawn Finer
BWO/ Lili & Susie
The winners in those 2 duels met in a duel and the winner is to Final !
Amy Diamond/Starpilots
Rigo & the Topaz sound feat. Red Fox/ Caroline Af Ugglas
The winner in those 2 duels met in a duel and the winner there is to Final !

If you want to know more ask me please !

Some contributions are already clear for Eurovision and some are clear for the Semifinals as not everyone goes direct to Eurovision Song contest Final... here you can see some of the contributions. If you click on the some is uploaded at Youtube..have fun !

http://svt.se/svt/jsp/Crosslink.jsp?d=106559&lid=puff_1459279&lpos=lasMer

I will give you more updates later today.

What a day....and the video..."You're not Alone" !

When I had written last blogmessage and took my wheelchair to wheel, that went boom and crash..one of the little wheels collapsed. Ohhhh no..not today of all days and Monday morning. Took 3 lovely hours until I got new wheels. Meanwhile I used a officechair..haha !
In between hail, storm, snow and now rain I have managed to fix some very good deals.
Later this week you will get lots of news both here and on the fanclub site about Melodifestivalen. I can guarantee that this will be as if you were here.
And today the official video for "You're not Alone" was released on Youtube. I had a good laugh. You can never predict what the video will look like based on hearing the song. I love that !
What do you think ?
Check in the video on BWO Fanclub Worldwide www.bwo-fanclub.com

So let's go everyone..make this a good BWO week !

The week is here......

Finally Second chance is coming to Norrköping, my hometown. Beginning with a meeting at the newspaper today. I will report as much as possible to you..be sure of that !
Meanwhile here is a link to Norrköping's local Melodifestival site( sorry that is in Swedish):

http://www.melodifestivalennorrkoping.se/

Not only Martin that is making moves.

In Karlskoga in September 2008 BWO played at Statt. Was supposed to be outdoors, but constant raining made them move everything indoors. Very crowded and I believe that maybe the smoke machines worked on full pressure. There was like a big fog around !

I got this photo when Marina and Alexander showed that they also can dance. Maybe Martin's cheering helps ?

The promised photos

Feels like a day in between before the new week and Second chance is here !

What do you do a Sunday when everything is like waiting and waiting and waiting.

I have tidy up all day. There is always a mess after you redecorate a room, definately.

Also put a lot of BWO stuff together...so here is a photo taken in Trelleborg in end of August 2008. Was like last Summer weekend, very hot and nice.
