I think they would say Hello

KristinaDK said on January 10, 2005 13:39:

Hmmm... what a question *sigh* ...Sorry for being “rude” but isn’t it a bit strange to ask this? Just my opinion... :(

LightHouse said on January 10, 2005 14:50:

@Kattunge, when did you met her? And what is NK´S ?

LightHouse said on January 10, 2005 15:11:

Oh! I can´t believe that!
I mean they are not normal persons like you and I. They are stars.

Hmmmm very strange! I would ask Marie how she feels and wish her all the best!

LightHouse said on January 10, 2005 17:08:

This is your opinion!
Marie and Per are very special for me. And it would be amzaing for me to see them in real! I know they are normal people. But for me VERY SPECIAL persons!

LaMan said on January 10, 2005 20:23:

Per and Marie walk on the street alone? Do they wear sunglasses, hats etc. to keep privacy?

What about security men? Do they EVER walk with P & M when they are in Sweden?

Can you see Marie for example cutting grass and gardening at her yard at the summer time? :D

Do they ever use limousine? (a car).

off topic: I´m sure Agnetha (Abba) is never seen on the streets of Stockholm, she lives as a hermit...

“btw does someone know if they ever ride a bike??

Yeah, they do. :) Heard that..

NigelBarnes said on January 10, 2005 22:49:

Don’t see any problem with saying hello - might be suprising how many people they recognise in some way. It’s amazing to see those similar faces in the front rows at the concerts.......................

LaMan - by accounts Agnetha does get seen around - not that lucky when I’ve been over there though!

To answer LaMan’s questions: They sometimes wear sunglasses but the times I’ve seen them they don’t disguise themselves at all. I doubt very much that Marie cuts her own grass and from the documentary you can see she spends most of her time in the back garden (I don’t blame her, at her Halmstad summer house some German fans videotaped her hanging her washing). I’ve heard Marie mostly travels in Taxis and I would imagine limosines would be for special occasions.

I’ve heard that Per is usually pretty nice if fans approach him on the street or out shopping and he’s happy to give autographs. I’ve never really met him in “private time”, only after concerts and stuff and like I said I rode on the train with him but I didn’t speak to him then. So I only know what I heard from a girl who lives here that met him quite often.

Marie...it’s hard to say because of course she’s been ill. The times I’ve met her she’s very sweet and happy to sign for fans, though I’ve heard she will say no to photographs if it’s her private time. I haven’t seen her since she got sick so I have no idea if she would sign autographs now. I personally wouldn’t bother her because things are different since she got ill, though I guess if I saw her walking past I might just say hi.

Sparvogamarie said on January 11, 2005 18:01:

Kiwein is totally right! Marie usually tries to talk and look at you like you’re a person, but Per will just sign with his head down and give it back like you’re not there. But I heard other people say he’s so nice and friendly. I met him a few times and I have to say, the only time he was nice to me was when he was drunk! But he’s not a bad guy or anything, at least he bothers to sign at all. Some stars would tell you to f—- off!

I flew with Marie, Micke, Nord, Jonas - not sure if somebody else, besides Dimberg - from Sto to Göteborg..

Marie + Micke were just walking around, waiting to board.. until some freaks went to her *grrrr* and then she was “forced” to go to a VIP area and “hide” and get on the plane last - she was in the first rows for what we could see from the veeery back of the plane. No need to say the freaks were not swedish ;)

When we got to Göt she didn’t hide, actually we picked up a bag at the belt next to her, but she looked pissed (not to us, in general) and after a while (we were already far) she put her sunglasses on. I am not sure if somebody approached her before getting to the belt or after or somebody nagged her on the plane, but she didn’t look so happy - it might be because of the flight itself, but I doubt it. :P Anyway, whoever it was, was not Swede :)

The same happened with other artists I’ve been with :) I like the Swedish way *thumbs up*

harriej said on January 11, 2005 21:43:

When I met Per, he was really nice.
He was talking to us, not only signing.

Sparvogamarie said on January 12, 2005 16:23:

LaMan: as Kiwein said he’s different depending on what he’s doing, but I have to say I’ve met him 9 or 10 times both privately and on “star time” and he tends to sign and shove the autograph at you, or ignore you completely if you’re just trying to say hi. I’m sure he has friendly moments but I haven’t really seen any except for once in a bar when he was drunk, he was super nice to me then! I’ve met Marie something like 22 times and she’s really sweet and kind...but look out when she’s in a bad mood - then it’s wrrreeooowow run for your life!!!!

My friend Brett was on a plane with Marie and he sent a note to her asking if he could have a photo or autograph. She sent a message back to him that she would wait in the airport after they got off the plane - she actually did wait for him and happily posed for photos with him. She’s a sweetie.

Sparvogamarie said on January 12, 2005 17:19:

Haha lol no it was a flight in Switzerland :) From what I heard she was very nice to my friend.

I saw Per at the Brussels airport once, I didn’t approach him but I did wave when he looked straight at me while I was waiting for my own plane. He gave me a nod...but jeez, it was the kind of nod that you would expect from the king of the world. I wanted to shout “Hey Per it’s not like you’re GOD or anything!” LOL just kidding....I’ve never seen him be really rude or nasty, it’s just that he’s been kind of unfriendly when I’ve met him, both in 1995 and 2001. Who knows maybe I’ll bump into him here in Sthlm one day and he’ll be super friendly and I’ll take it all back!

Sparvogamarie said on January 15, 2005 18:54:

Auryte: Yeah it was after the Karlstad show, a big group of fans were having a party at a bar. Per and the band turned up and were heading for the VIP room and my friend Nienke convinced them to join everyone else at the bar (Nienke is incredibly beautiful, so all the guys in the band immediately followed her and Per had nobody to party with so he came too.) He pretty much stood and drank beer the whole time, and I have to say he was very very nice about all the fans who constantly interrupted him while he was trying to talk to friends. A Swedish girl wanted a photo with him but she was too nervous so we decided to ask him together, and he was very kind about posing for the photos. At the end of the night he was completely drunk and shouting stupid things like “I have to WORK tomorrow...no wait I’m not working, I have to be PARENTS tomorrow!” It was really funny and Per was really cool that night.

AURYTE said on January 16, 2005 06:51:

Just another little thing: well, I know something about this story from Karlstad. But what I knew was that ASA was also there, wasn’t SHE? And SHE told PER to go home.

Sparvogamarie said on January 16, 2005 07:36:

Crashi: email me and I’ll tell ya all about it :) The last time I talked about my meetings with Marie here on smalltalk I got accused of bragging and being “precious”. Unfortunately lots of jealous ppls around :

my email: [email protected]

crashroxer said on January 16, 2005 12:57:

Yeah, ignore these stupid peoples!!!

Sparvogamarie said on January 18, 2005 17:29:

Well ok but if I get flamed it’s your fault :)

I’ll tell my first meeting with MF...it was after the first Äntligen solo concert in Borgholm which was a pretty cool place for my first meeting cos it was inside the castle from the Listen to your heart video. I was actually looking for my friend Nienke, and while I was searching I suddenly saw Marie in a window. She was sitting doing interviews. The magazine asked her to pose with some fans, so she came out and hugged six fans (I was lucky number six!) I couldn’t really speak at all, I wanted to tell her that I had come from Australia just to see her but my mouth had frozen! I got an autograph, then Marie posed for some pix and I got to stand with my arm around her. The next day there was a picture of me and Marie hugging in the newspaper!
