Roxette World Tour 2011 schedule

Per, Marie and Gyllene Tider among the finalists in Rockbjörnen awards

Written by tevensso on December 9, 2004 to .

STOCKHOLM - Aftonbladet’s award Rockbjörnen (The Rock Bear) finalists have been selected. Among them are Marie Fredriksson (Best Female), Gyllene Tider (Best Album, Best Group and Best Song [Tuffa tider]) and Per Gessle (Best Male).

  Aftonbladet’s Per Bjurman reveals his favorites and tips in a column: Gyllene Tider should receive all three awards, while Lena Philipsson should get Best Female. Bjurman thinks that Magnus Uggla will get Best Male as Per hasn’t done anything solo this year (except those “three minutes at every concert”.)

  Rockbjörnen 2004 is the 26th Rockbjörn ever. Marie Fredriksson has received five awards during the years, Per Gessle three, Gyllene Tider two and Roxette six.

Yeahahahahah .... Roxette is alive!!!!

I’ve just voted! I had to be honest though. Of course I voted for Marie (’cos she had the strengh for an early comeback, considering that she is still recovering) and GT ’cos they deserved it. I didn’t vote for Per ’cos it’s about 2004 and it’s all about GT this year... so I voted for Peter Jöback instead.

PS. Roxette are not even mentioned... and there’s no reason for them to be! Maybe 2005... let’s cross fingers!

PPS. I wonder if they will consider foregn votes...

Yes I voted for Peter too :) I got his dvd today, wooohooo is he good! what a voice he has, and he gets cuter and cuter by the time :D

roxlad said on :

@Judith could you please check something on your dvd? When playing ’Varmt Igen’ there is a point where the image scrambles a bit... it’s just a tiny thing but still annoying... I was wondering if it’s my disc...

Fantastic news!!!

I voted for THEM ALL - PER, MARIE & GYLLENE TIDER!!

tevensso (moderator) said on :

It doesn’t specifically say anywhere that foreigners can’t vote, but I really doubt that is the case.

crashroxer said on :

Let’s hope (and VOTE) for Marie!!!

ncurran said on :

well i voted....im sure foreigners arent supposed to vote, but since the only compulsory information to fill in is your name and email, i dont really think they are that bothered about the foreigners voting. They probably dont realise that there are hundreds of crazed Rox fans out there

AURYTE said on :

I think the most important thing is voting. Who cares about your nationality or from where you have voted.

AURYTE said on :

I’ve just come with this idea. There was (and still there is a link) where we could vote for 2:ND CHANCE to get it on German radio chart. And it worked, MARIE topped the chart on#10. I think, most of the votes came from outside Germany. However, I don’t want to make any harm for GYLLENE TIDER, MARIE & PER on Rockbjornen awards. Is there a possibility to find out if foreighners can vote?

ncurran said on :

well the thing is, you dont have to put in any details apart from your name and email. If only swedes could vote, surely the postal code/address/phone number would be compulsory. I cant see how they could disqualify votes, and i dont think they would even notice people voting from abroad to be honest.

Jud (moderator) said on :

earlier this year some Swedish newspaper kind of complained because Per got many votes from outside Sweden for the “halmstad citizen of the century”, and the reporter ended the article wondering if all those votes that Aftonbladet claimed they received (the number of votes was an incredibly high number in the past edition; Per won) were also “thanks to” fans abroad.

Regarding the SWR3 charts: when we published the article and link Marie was ALREADY in the list, sure the link was in the forum but that doesn’t have as much impact as an article on front page.. so no, I think MOST votes came from Germany. Rox have always been big there anyways.

tevensso (moderator) said on :

I’ve asked Aftonbladet, will tell when and if they reply.

roxlad said on :

@tev you could be right, maybe we’re doing more harm by voting than by not doing it. I’m still unsure though ’cos after all it’s an Aftonbladet prize and Aftonbladet readers are supposed to vote so does this include readers from abroad??? I do read aftonbladet.se often (or at least I try).... and not just the nöje part... so let’s see what their answer will be.... I’m very curious now! :)

tevensso (moderator) said on :

Hi!

According to information TDR has received it IS OK to vote from abroad, so vote away!

Nox1983 said on :

and he gets cuter and cuter by the time :D :D :D

Im agreeee!!!

Hope Marie gets a new rockbjornen...

Jud (moderator) said on :

who gets cuter? Thomas? :P

AURYTE said on :

No doubts!!! Go on and vote!!!

Actually I got a bit surprised that you can as many times as you want in these awards, cos usually when Aftonbladet has “little awards”, like The Best GYLLENE TIDER Song you’re allowed to vote just once. So these awards are not very objective anyways.

hehehe no... I was talking about Peter Joback ;)
