patolucas said on :

Great!!I’m very exciting to watching it!

crashroxer said on :

Only 24 hours and 10 minutes...AAAHHHHH!

LadyGT said on :

They showed small bits of the documentary on the news today at 19.00 CET. On Swedish TV4 ofcourse. You could see Marie sitting in a chair somewhere and talking about the day when she fell and hit her head and when Micke came home and found her. Also some quick clips from the studio recordings. Seems fo be a very nice documentary. Also, Maries said something like “it feels like the worst is over”.

Jud (moderator) said on :

they have a link to the webb-tv on the tv4 news site but either it doesn’t work, or it won’t be available until 21:00 :S

Mari said on :

Also Finnish Ilta-Sanomat has a small story about the documentary.

Mari said on :

According to Ilta-Sanomat, Marie lost her ability to read and count. She’s learning to do those things again. I did’t know that.

roxstarLinz said on :

HOT INFORMATION!!!!!!!! MARIE AT TV IN GERMANY 19.12 ARD THE CARRERAS SHOW

its a show against cancer! here is the link: http://www.capitolmusic.at/xml/1/3252330/termine.html

roxstarLinz said on :

I read the info today at www.emi.at - i don’t know what she will sing. the show (i think so) will be in LEIPZIG

Jud (moderator) said on :

the info was on the .de site but was then deleted:

http://www.capitolmusic.de/xml/1/3252383/termine.html

Es liegen keine Termine vor.

So who knows. We’ll have to find out :)

Kiwein1 said on :

She won’t be there - I have checked all artists who appear in both shows (since there was another show mentioned on the .de-site) and found out that not Marie was meant but JON LORD and FRIDA...yeah, now guess what comes after FREdriksson? FRIda...
I have sent an email to EMI and my friend called them and SUDDENLY the shows disappeared from “TV-TERMINE”...EMI AGAIN!..who wonders about it...

ally77 said on :

I hope some kind person will tell us about it! :)

Jud (moderator) said on :

maybe I get it wrong but.. isn’t the ability to read and write connected? How would she write her songs without being able to read? :S

Rich-UK said on :

Well to compose a song you need to be able to think and communicate... and the latter can be done either by writing or singing... so if Marie had difficulties reading then maybe Micke wrote down her ideas or her songs were recorded... yes the song-writing process may have been very hard for her... poor Marie... I’m very sad for her this evening... my thoughts are with her... playing April Snow now... all the best, Rich

Booho said on :

it’s possible to write songs without pen or paper.
I do that all the time, Paul McCartney did so as well I think - he can’t write / read notes!

One can remember the ideas from brain or tape as well.

echo666 said on :

I’ve just seen the documentory about Marie F on TV4 and my comments are that Marie seems to be fine, she’s happy about the new record, she actually feels fine and have a lot of strange. I hoped that she had a question from the reporter about the future but nothing was mention about that. And nothing about Roxette. That’s a little bit sad....
I also didn’t now that she had to start over with math and reading so the last two years has probebly been more difficult that any of us fans could imagine.

Just a quick review about the documentary.. :)

on_a_mission said on :

are you serious about the reading and math thing....? that’s awful. Anyone who fights there way back from that is unbelievably strong. oam//

AURYTE said on :

OK, I’m in heaven that MARIE looks well. Were any songs played live???

Oh my, I have so many questions...

LadyGT said on :

Yea.. they played some songs live. Don’t remember which right now though. Too tired. But it seems like they played in some kind of basement or something like that. There was a small band and a small audience too.

Yes, the thing with having to learn how to read and calculate again is true. She told about it herself...

And a funny thing towards the end of the documentary... Oscar singing “Här kommer alla känslorna” in the studio. *smile*

Annonymous said on :

Sorry guys I can’t hide my feelings. That photo just broke my heart.

There is a kind of tenderness in her eyes, like a hurt kid. It kind of makes you want to hold her. : /

It really touched me.

.....................................................................

Hotblooded said on :

I got that same feeling from seeing that photo.

God bless you Marie, you a truly an inspiration to all of us!

xoxoxoxoxox

Annonymous said on :

IF I manage to get a copy of de documentary I won’t be able to understand it :(

Some people have to learn to walk and talk again after an operation like that.

I just finished reading The Orange Girl by Jostain Gaarder that may be why I’m too sensitive to these things.....................

bye

Annonymous said on :

.

Jud (moderator) said on :

she is still learning to read and count, at least she is still practising every day. This woman is so damn strong :O

echo666 said on :

yes, that’s really strong.....just that she tells everything by herself that she have more strength now then before....it’s really a 2:nd chance...
Marie...you’re the best!

She also talks about that all her hair fell off and thought it look tuff....I must say I agree...she look’s like Ellen Ripley in the Alien 3-movie (played by Sigourney Weaver)...And Marie is even tuffer!! hehe

ATLTK said on :

shes a very strong, what a touching documentery that was. I hope shes fine

Helene2000 said on :

After having seen this documentary I can only say that I love her more than ever!! I adimre her so incredibly much. For everybody who also wants to see the documentation, check out www.tv4.se. Under the category webtv you can register and then watch the docu via stream.

Rich-UK said on :

... and how were the live tracks: were they whole tracks? Cheers, Rich

Zelda said on :

Oh my!
I think it´s all over now. Marie looks very sad. I don´t think that she will ever be the same as before the cancer.
The Roxette time is over. And I think it´s important for her that she get´s well very soon.

Sparvogamarie said on :

@ Zelda: she wasn’t crying because she was sad, she cries when she is talking about how happy she is that she survived. So I don’t think her life is ruined or something, she was very positive but she just got emotional when she talked about her happiness.

@ Rich: they weren’t full tracks, it was scenes of her singing live at a mini concert in her studio mixed with recording sessions.

ally77 said on :

Excellent, made me cry.... gonna watch again and again, and again! :) she looks so happy when she is singing! :) and little Oscar is so cute!

Mary said on :

There was a piece of “All I Ever Wanted” with some additional arrangements. Do you think it will come out as a B-side if there is another single released? Now that it appeared publically in the documentary... Just my guess.

ncurran said on :

am i missing something? can we see the whole documentary on the tv4 website, or only the clip from the news?

AURYTE said on :

Thankx for the link:)

Can anyone explain me about loggin’ in???

Mary said on :

Aurite, I’ve just sent you the explanations by E-mail.

Vixzter said on :

Can I just say I LOVE MARIE TO BITS!

carbon_boy said on :

I have to say - I dont get a word she’s saying, but man oh man - did this boy have a lump in his throat! Especially after the first time they cut from her interview and showed her in studio how she use to look.... what a shock! Oh, and Oscar is too bloody cute for words!

Jud (moderator) said on :

@Vix: yes!! :D She rocks!!

Annonymous said on :

Are they going to release this on DVD? Would we be able to buy it?

I can’t watch it :(

thanks

Bunio said on :

WHY there is NO news about this documentary on TDR?

I mean sth that marie said and stuff like this, not only information when it will be aired :(

AURYTE said on :

Thankx mary for the help.

Could anyone say who the other boy OSCAR was singing with is and what HE, OSCAR, was saying???

DaminehGessle said on :

A friend of mine who I grew up with listening to Roxette and the one person who understood what my love for Roxette was all about saw marie’s picture a few days ago. She had no idea marie had cancer and when I showed Marie’s picture to her, she was shocked.

We can say she is fine, but she isn’t. This has been a huge change. To us who check Roxette news all the time, this is ok. But this is very tragic. VERY TRAGIC!

————————

Now, what is this whole reading counting thing all about? I don’t have a clue what you guys are talking about. Explain more please?

Mari said on :

Marie can’t read or count, but she’s learning.
After seeing the doc, I have a feeling Marie is not completly fine. She’s still getting cortisone, and that’s means only one thing. But as Marie says: The bad days are over.

geytenbeek said on :

How do you login to TV4?

Helene2000 said on :

just enter your name and a valid e-mail address and the password will be sent to you. Then you are only a few clicks away from watching the video.

AURYTE said on :

@geytenbeek And you also have to check your Internet connection to the web-TV.

Kathrin said on :

I would Love To see her Perform in Germany again!
Plus When does the docu come out in Germany

Kathrin said on :

I hope it would have either German or english subs!
