Covers!!
just watched a n episode of a Swedish show called Så mycket bättre (so much better) which is a show where a group of famous artists sing each others songs. Is there any international versions of this?

Ooh, speaking of så mycket bättre, I have to share this cover with you guys! Heard it yesterday, and damn what a amazing cover. Magnus Uggla is the one that sings it, but it's originally sung by Olle Ljungström. It's in swedish, which I think is a bit sad, since the lyrics is truly beautiful and tragic, and I think that the lyrics is a huge part of what makes it so amazing. Then again, if the song would have been sang in english, the song would have sounded completely different.
Speaking of songs in english, I might as well share this one: This is a cover by Amanda Jenssen, on a song in swedish, that she translated into english and it was actually a fight song for the Swedish national team during the 1994 FIFA World Cup. You can listen to the original song here:
And here's Amandas cover:

^Uggla is doing that cover real nice. Dregen and Pernilla Anderson has played it together as well.
I think Amanda has done terrific covers in each episode, Carola's fångad av en stormvind was not an exception.

He really does! I like their cover to! Different from Ugglas, but still good
I hadn't heard that one, but listened to it now - and I really agree, she did a amazing job as well with that song! I haven't watched any full episode this season actually, but I'm really gonna do that from now on!
