As most of you regular readers to the blog know by now, I DON'T watch Fox-TV's American Idol, since actual singing talent is NOT the main focus of the show like TV singing competition shows in other countries,

It never hurts, of course, to be ridiculously talented AND ridiculously good-looking like Élodie Frégé, the 2004 winner of Star Academy in la belle France, whom I mentioned here on Valentine's Day, when I also ran the great infectious video below.
She's a super-talent, plus, nous partageons la même date d'anniversaire!

Super-talented Swedish songbird Robyn will be a guest on tonight's Jimmy Kimmel Live

Once I got back home from tonight's Hallandale Beach City Commission Workshop, leaving after just an hour due to boredom, leaving only one HB citizen in the Chambers, I decided to blow-off checking my email until I caught some things on the tube.

Which is why I only just found out that longtime HBB favorite, Swedish songbird Robyn, will be a guest tonight on Jimmy Kimmel Live at 12:05 a.m.

I will likely have video of her performance(s) here on the blog within the next next 36 hours, but until then, I'm going to leave you with three videos that connect to her.

The first, at top, is her wonderful video I posted here last July 28th:

With the second one, from one of the top advertising agencies in Iceland, ENNEMM, for the alcohol package stores that are a monopoly there, Vínbúðin, see if you can figure out why it's funny.

My last post on Robyn was right before Christmas on December 20th:

Separate complete videos of Robyn singing her two songs are below, but here's the most thorough article on her appearance I've found but it's in Swedish, so use your Google Translate if you don't talar svensk.

Många ville se Robyn i glasburen på torget
Av Karsten Bringmark
18 DECEMBER 19.24 2010-12-18 19:24:00

MALMÖ. – Skitkul att vara här.
Och det tyckte också många Malmöbor som följde Robyn i Musikhjälpens glasbur på Gustav Adolfs torg.

Jublet dränkte all julmusik efter hennes sång.

Fler hundra flockades framför glasburen när Robyn blev intervjuad, och smickrad av programvärdarna; hennes senaste visit i Musikhjälpen är det enskilt mest visade klippet.

This year's theme at the six-day Musikhjälpen 2010, www.Musikhjälpen.se was "Barn är inte till salu!" -Children are not for sale- as funds raised went to groups involved in fighting child labor, child prostitution and child soldiers, the later of which is a particularly serious problem in Africa and Asia.


For more information and compelling videos of these problems in Moldavia and Senegal, please see: http://sverigesradio.se/sida/gruppsida.aspx?programid=3946&grupp=13003

Trust me, the videos will really get to you, too.

Back on November 22nd, the Miami Herald ran a short piece on Robyn on their PEOPLE page in the first section of the newspaper, under the header, Robyn earns Swede revenge.
Really.

And as if that wasn't dopey enough, it used the words "teeny-bop star" in the very first sentence.

I snapped this shot of it that day at the Panera Bread here in Hallandale Beach, mostly to show those of you overseas or at least out of HB, how truly lame the newspaper is when it tries to appear hip.
Or, actually, tries anything these days. #Fail

Updated Wednesday December 22, 2010

I usually try NOT to go back to individual posts days after-after-the-fact, except in rare cases where there's an inadvertent spelling mistake I catch, a dead link someone tells me about, or some mistaken information that might prove troublesome, but I make an exception now and then when I think it's appropriate and today is such a day.

Today, it's specifically because of something that I found out about thru a friend that I think might add to what I wrote above.

Since I initially posted above, a fashion-forward friend in Sweden who read what I wrote -but who wasn't at Musikhjälpen- has sent me an email with a link to an interesting blog that is the handiwork of a really personable, talented -and very cute!- woman in Malmö, one of the world's great university towns, who is a combination student, Ford model, blogger and dancer, and did I mention, DJ?

I think I was looking for someone like her the whole time I was in Bloomington at IU, that is, if blogging technology has existed then.
IF only I had had a blog back then!

Besides, how can you not love a woman who writes at the end of her blog profile: "Pluggar konst på vardagarna och dansar om nätterna. Life is good!"

Lina Sandberg is this blogger's name and her blog is ici: http://lina.metromode.se/
Lina is one of the more popular bloggers on the very popular Metromode.se blog network, which tends to focus on women's fashion and related subjects, a lifestyle and demographic that advertisers desperately want to be simpatico with, whether in the U.S. or Europe.

Well, anyway, Lina actually was at the Robyn concert in Malmö for a bit, and has some photos of her day that are worth checking out. In fact, she even played DJ for a bit before Rebecca & Fiona did their thing.

I hope to have more about the wildly-popular Rebecca & Fiona in an upcoming blog post, but for now, here's the URL for the post Lina wrote about this past weekend:
