My last blog post abt Swedish singer and songwriter HĂ„kan Hellström was on May 8, 2014, titled, 
"Just 14 years ago today: debut single of HĂ„kan Hellström. (KĂ€nn ingen sorg för mig i Göteborg.) And now, everyone in Sweden ❤ HĂ„kan -he can do no wrong. :-); video from his AllsĂ„ng pĂ„ Skansen show last summer"

Just 14 years ago today: debut single of HĂ„kan Hellström. (KĂ€nn ingen sorg för mig i Göteborg.) And now, everyone in Sweden ❤ HĂ„kan -he can do no wrong. :-); video from his AllsĂ„ng pĂ„ Skansen show last summer

Today is not just the first day of the 2014 NFL Draft or the second Semifinal of the Eurovision Singing Contest in Copenhagen, you know, it's also...






vackragavlestad YouTube Channel video: HĂ„kan Hellström - KĂ€nn ingen sorg för mig i Göteborg 
LIVE on SVT's AllsĂ„ng pĂ„ Skansen, Stockholm, Sweden. Uploaded July 9, 2013

The clip above is from the amazing one-hour LIVE SVT telecast from last July from the stage at AllsĂ„ng pĂ„ Skansen in Stockholm that was a special broadcast featuring HĂ„kan and some of his friends and special invited guests, like Helen Sjöholm, Anna JĂ€rvinen, Tomas von Brömssen and others.

 I watched that LIVE on my computer here in Hallandale Beach and it was, by far, the single most entertaining hour of music I heard all year, especially when you understand what most of the various elements in the show -and costumes in the audience- represent, both symbolically and emotionally to his fans. 



For instance, speaking of the amazing Helen, so often written about here on the blog the past seven years, here's a sublime Helen singing "Valborg."

I call this video above of him singing "Nu kan du fÄ mig sÄ lÀtt" from the show, "The Adoration" for reasons that are quite apparent.
Years ago, in some of his public performances, HĂ„kan dressed onstage in a white sailor's uniform. It's sort of a common knowledge thing in Sweden.
Anyway, as you can see at 0:08 and 0:27, by the drawing and the girl in the sailor outfit herself, some of the girls haven't forgotten.
I guess there's just something about a sailor, eh?
And I don't mean Sailor Moon.

You can see the whole concert here, which I have watched from beginning-to-end probably a dozen times since last July, with just a brief appearance by AllsĂ„ng host MĂ„ns Zelmerlöw.
