Eric Saade Escapes His Fans


CHART REFLECTION. The immensly popular Eric Saade had to flee the scene after performing at the popular TV show ”Sommarkrysset.” The 20-year old singer was one of the headline acts for yesterday’s premiere. According to leading evening paper Aftonbladet, there was a lot of concern over safety as the chaos began during the sound check.

Four guards had to literally pull the singer away from the scene as fans wanted autographs signed and a glimpse of the album. Last week, a 9-year old girl was brought to hospital due to injuries during an Eric Saade concert in Gothenburg.

WelcheMusic closely monitored the Eurovision Song Contest feud between Eric Saade and the Russian singer Alexander Vorobyov.  The singer heavily criticized each other up until the finals, where Saade beat Russia!  The Swedish singer also paid Russia a visit, leading to one of his TV appearances being cancelled.

Eric Saade recently peaked at No.2 on the Swedish singles tally with “Hearts in the Air.” It only spent one sole week on the chart, while “Popular” (his ESC entry) logs its 16th week on the tally falling 28-29.

Stella Mwangi’s Norwegian Fiasco Makes Saade Nervous

Stella Mwangi

CHART REFLECTION. There was little doubt about what would dominate headlines in Norway today. Stella Mwangi’s elimination from yesterday’s Eurovision Song Contest semi-finals was nothing but a fiasco. Her “Haba Haba” was one of the favourites and only two years ago, Alexander Rybak won a sensational victory with “Fairytale.”

Eric Saade on the Edge

Stella Mwangi was not only one of Nöjesbladet’s readers’ favourites, it was also Eric Saade’s. Now, he’s at loss as there’s no sure thing that his “Popular” will pass the test tomorrow evening. Earlier this week, Norwegian media claimed that Swedish entry was rubbish! Little did they know… Fædrelandsvennen says that this is not the end of the world, while many newspapers reports that the singer got some comfort from British boy-band Blue.

Stella Mwangi in Shock

In one of the biggest news dailies – Aftenbladet – Stella Mwangi admits that she’s in shock, but finds it hard to believe that she could have done much different. On a final note, the Kenya Stockholm blog notes that Stella Mwangi came to Norway at five, immigrating from Kenya. “Haba Haba” is about being inspired by a Kenyan grandmother.

Last evening’s contest also saw Turkey and Armenia leaving the contest, while Alexey Vorobyov easily made the final with his “Get You.”
