Sweden: Malena Ernman interview in London

Swedish opera star Malena Ernman was in London last weekend. Esctoday.com had a chance to talk to her about her experience at the Eurovision Song Contest in Moscow in May. Malena has a new set of fans after launching her pop career and they were treated to a live concert organised by Scandipop Live on Sunday.

Malena Ernman had performed her more typical classical music the previous day at the Barbican Centre in London giving two sold out concerts of baroque music. On Sunday the setting was much more intimate in the glitzy Escape Bar in London's Soho. She performed songs from her album, all live. The song list was:

Sempre libera
One step from paradise
What becomes of love
Un bel di
Perdus
Tragedy
La voix

Malena Ernman also took time to meet her fans afterwards and sign her double album La voix du nord for all fans present. The album has already sold platinum in Sweden and is available for international delivery via malenaernman.com. She posed for photographs with her fans and even stayed for a dance at the club afterwards.

In our interview she tells about how she was not terribly disappointed after only finishing 19th in the Eurovision Song Contest final and how she will continue her pop career after the success of the first combined pop and classical double CD.

Malena Ernman was also interviewed in London by the BBC for a TV documentary about a 19th century Swedish international singing superstar Jenny Lind that Malena has often been compared to.

See Malena Ernman perform her Eurovision Song Contest entry La Voix in London last Sunday:

Malena has a very posh English accent! She's cool though.

It is better not to think about reasons of the failure, simply there are not any reason. Just enjoy Malena voice and performance.
