Another Christmas CD

Lotta Engberg duetting with Alexander

We already reported on many Christmas records published by former Eurovision entrants. Last to date is Lotta Engberg's Jul hos mig, which was released a few days ago on Swedish label Lionheart.

The lady - who represented Sweden in Brussels, back in 1987 - performed a collection of 13 songs, 8 in Swedish and the remaining 5 in English. Lotta sings five of these songs in duet: with Sven Wollter, Christer Sjögren (Melodifestivalen 2008), Nordman (Melodifestivalen 2005 & 2008), Jill Johnson (Eurovision Song Contest 1998) and this year's winner Alexander Rybak.

The song Lotta shares with Mr Fairytale is Baby, it's cold outside, which was penned and first performed in 1944 by American Frank Loesser. It was included 5 years after as title song of the motion picture Neptune's daughter and received a prestigious Oscar as best original song in 1949.

TV teaser can be found here .

@ Engla

Why was the stage in Sweden incredibly small and the green room tight? :S

@Zanic Night
The whole album was good. :P

I didn't really like this cover of the song because it was like listening to two different versions at once. Their voices don't fit together and it would have been nicer if it had just been him or with someone else. Her voice and accent didn't appeal to me.

Fairytales only contains 3 good songs, Its a letdown I'm afraid
(and I could say Farytale is one of those 3 good songs lol)

Strangely enough I saw the Fairytales album in HMV today, depsite the fact (as far as i'm aware) it's had no official release here. However it was £26 so it's probably an import but I was still surprised.
