Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

Allsång på Skansen is the popular and already tradiitonal summer show broadcasted live from Skansen in Stockholm. Its popularity has spread over the years to neighbouring countries, too, and in Finland the Swedish speaking YleFem has been broadcasting it for years already. But this summer everything's going to change: it moves to Yle1 and it will be commented live by none other than Hanna Pakarinen. Hanna herself peformed there ten year ago to thank Swedes for the 12 points she got in Eurovision song contest earlier that spring. Since then she has made a succesful career not only as a singer but a radio speaker, too. She's excited about her summer job and will give background informatio on the artists and so on. The sing-a-long songs will be also subtitled on screen for a real karaoke experience.  Eight eisodes to come starting tonight. Tonight's artists are Robin Bengtson, Tomas Ledin, Sabina Ddumba and Shi,a Niavarani. In the future episodes we have Panetoz, Wiktor...

Allsång på Skansen, the hugely popular sing-a-long summer show in Sweden has a new hostess this year: Sanna Nielsen. She takes over from Petra Marklund (2014-2015) and Måns Zelmerlöw (2011-2013) who hosted the show the previous years.  The show started already back in 1935 and since 1979 has been on television as well. These days, every Tuesday some 10.00-25.500 people gather around to Skansen in Stockholm to be part of the show and a few million Swedes (and Finns) watch it on television.  This year's guest list is rich with Eurovision and Melodifestivalen stars as usual: June 28: Frans and BAO (Benny Andersson Orchester) July 5: Malena Ernman and Oscar Zia July 19: SaRaha, Anders Glenmark, Orup, Sonja Alden July 26: Jamala August 2: Martin Stenmarck August 9: Lill-Babs August 16: Lill Lindfors along with all the other artists from Veronica Maggio to Lisa Nilsson, Laleh and Zara Larsson.

Shy and lean 19-year-old Måns Zelmerlöw made his first steps in the spotlight ten years ago when entering Idols 2005. Eventually he would finish only 5th but his talent was noted and in the years to come he has been participating (and winning) Let's dance and hosted some major entertainment shows, including Melodifestivalen and Allsång på Skansen, a Swedish institution. He has starred in several musicals and scored a few hits from his three albums. However he needed to take part in Melodifestivalen three times before winning it. But the third try made him a hero as he also won Eurovision. Not only because of his song and voice, but he's handsome habitus. He surely has gotten some muscles and more hair over the years...... and has grown into a allround entertainer.
