Allsång på Skansen 2005

 

 

Anders: Tonights first "speaker" is Helen Sjöholm with BAO! - Benny Andersson Orkester.

 

Helen and BAO perform: ”Du är min man” (You Are My Man).

 

Anders: Thank you Helen Sjöholm.

 

Anders: Thank you BAO! and please come closer Benny and Helen and congratulations. You have broken a record. This song has been #1 on Svensktoppen for the longest time ever. How does it feels like?

 

Helen: It feels so great. Yes - so great.

 

Anders: Do you celebrate this every week? (The audience is clapping) Yes, it's well worth an applause.

 

Helen: Of course it's great, but I must admit I don't listen every week to Svensktoppen -  but it has helped me a lot to do it.

 

Anders: Do we find a competitor inside there?

 

Benny: Yes - sure.

 

Anders: What's your goal with this song now?

 

Benny: Well, we expect Skifs now comes to an end.

 

Anders: He has been on Svensktoppen for 119 weeks and you have been there for 56.

 

Benny: Yes, we have one year forward to beat him.

 

Anders: But you have been there three years with "Gabriellas sång".

 

Helen: Can you believe it? It's crazy - it's crazy.

 

Anders: Which song do you take side with?

 

Helen: No, you can't take side with any song. No, you think it's touching two so different songs can be there.

 

Anders: And for Kristina everything is going well. She's on the way to USA - to emigrate  and learn to speak English. Now Kristina soon can be seen on Broadway or what?

 

Benny: Well, that's what we planned. Let's see. Slowly, but uncertain it moves forward. But maybe sometimes in 2007.

 

Anders: It would be so great. One will be so proud. Can it be called "Kristina from Sweden"?

 

Benny: It can be called "Kristina".

 

Anders: "Kristina" - it will be very good. It's a part of their history too, so it should work out fine there. 2007?

 

Benny: We hope so. We must find someone who's very good and who's able to play Kristina (Benny looks with a smile at Helen)

 

Anders: And where is he going to search for her? All I can say is I'm busy in 2007.

 

Anders: What now? We have to sing together in this programme and BAO is full of community singers. Who are we going to choose? You Benny?

 

Benny: It will not turn out good, but there's a guy in the band who think it's great to sing......Kalle Moreaus.
