Marie pushes Roxette into prestigious Australian Radio Countdown!

by

We got this article from Steve from Australia. Thanks Steve!

Roxette, in particular Marie Fredriksson, has made the “Hummingbird 100“. The countdown is an all female list and is run in conjunction with Australian Music Channel “MusicMax”.

Four Roxette tracks made the list, “It Must Have Been Love”, “Listen To Your Heart”, “The Look” and “Joyride”. Pink, meanwhile, claims the most spots of any female artist with seven tracks inside the 100. Beyonce, Roxette and Madonna both have four and Blondie, Rihanna and Alanis Morissette have three apiece.

The poll results have been picked up by several Australian online news sites including Queensland’s “Courier Mail“.

From SuperCynni:

The concert was great, though there were many “quiet” people. they would clap, stand and all, but furthermore…

With “Wish I could fly” Marie came up on a stool though the stage, it was a magnificent view! After the break, when Roxette returned, Marie went into error during the second couplet from “It must have been love”. It was so sad to see the look in her eyes, searching for the words and thankful for everyone who kept singing along to support her.
But Marie was feeling very good and even dared to walk to either side of the stage once, giving the fans a lot to cheer about! Marie’s voice sounded good, much better than NOTP Antwerp (07-11) and equal to Arnhem (14-11).

I made some video images and pictures (though they were taken from the ring side). Am uploading video footage to my hard drive, will post when they’re on youtube. Will also post some pictures to my photobucket. Will also post when they’re up.

Unfortunately, Roxette was transferred with all the other big stars in one big tourbus, so no meet & greets afterwards. Jonas explained on his FaceBook that the driver didn’t want to stop for the waiting fans…

It was a wonderful evening, and Per, Marie, Jonas (also with Alan Parsons, WOW), Pelle, Clarence and Chris rocked

Menwhile, many reports from visitors have already appeared at the official NOTP forums. The huge majority is very positive about Roxette’s performance. The official site now also features an online version of the German tourbook. Klick here!

Update: Don’t forget choir singer Maurice! About Berlin he writes on his blog:

In any case, the audience reaction was a real success: Enthusiasm at the arrival of Heaven 17, triumph for Alan Parsons and what about Roxette? It was as if the whole of Sweden had made an appointment at the O2 World…

Online translator recommended. 😉

RAINBOWGIRL:

Great show, really wonderful! We managed to meet Christoffer and Clarence before the concert – they just walked by us! They were very friendly. There was about 5-6 of us and we all took a picture with them. We all had some little presents for Per and Marie and we asked Christoffer if he could give those to them. He was gladly willing to do that and joked that now he is going back like a Santa Clause!

Marie did very well at the concert, although she got a little confused with the lyrics of IMHBL. But she handled it very nicely and she looked wonderful, too. People were standing up all the time Roxette sang, and most were singing along.

After the show we tried to meet Per and Marie, but unfortunately it appeared that we were waiting at the wrong side of the hall. When the security guard told us that they are on the other side, we took an enormous run! I think I have never run so fast in my entire life. Unfortunately I arrived just in time to see Marie wave to fans and sit on the car. But I got to stand very close to the car and wave to Marie… and she waved back! So it was wonderful. And I am very happy that I had a chance to meet with Clarence and Chris and deliver the presents to Per and Marie. Hopefully next time I have better luck meeting them.
