if i was as internet-savvy as all my friends think i am, maybe i'd be able to actually post the video directly on here?
anyway - this video is of the song 'Hero' by Charlotte Perrelli, and it was entered by Sweden into the Eurovision 2008 contest. basically, all the countries in Europe have this music contest in their respective countries - maybe a little comparable to American Idol, except the singers are typically already talented and the SONG is trying to win, rather than the singer - and then it's on TV, and people in the country can vote on what songs they like. does that make sense? sorry if it doesn't. at any rate, Sweden had a number of songs for their 'national' contest, and this below is the song that won, and will go on to be in the Eurovision Contest, at an international level.
that's all to say that it's a darned catchy song, even if it is totally Swedish/Euro in its cheesiness. when we were in France last week, just about every morning around 8am i would wake up with this blaring from the iPod dock in the kitchen, cause the kids love it. this contest was a really big deal here in Sweden, so i figured it was share-worthy ;)
