Now that sounds interesting.... However, the only sure name in the line up remains Les Gordons , thnk to Svensktoppen Nästa.  Apparently Christer Björkman wants both Wiktoria and Mariette in but they both seem to be missing the right song still. He also wanted The Fooo Conspiracy already in for 2016 but they said Nej tack and tried to break through in the US instead. Now they are available...  Tommy and DbA have indeed recorded a song but Tommy hasn't yet agreed to present it in Melodifestivalen but Christer wants i...

The Swedish boyband is aiming on Latin American market with the Spanish version of My girl , with the help of Danny Saucedo. One of the guys is Venezuelan born, and Danny is half Bolivian so why not?
