Roxette at BRAVO live - on stage, not to perform !

@Ally & pwbbounce: You are both right in a way.
Roxette never performed WICF on the german TOTP, BUT the german TOTP-version showed Roxettes performance from the UK-Version and pretend it to be happening in their own studio.
That’s why the youtube-clip has got the german RTL-Logo and the introduction of the german-host.
They often did so, therefor they had always the same studio decoration ;-)

Hmm, strange. But at least she’s going to be in Germany! We only get Per in the UK!!
Kiwein1 said on October 6, 2006 10:31:
I am really wondering why they didn’t tell us before. Most of the fans already gave their tickets back. *keepsherheadshaking*
Sascha said on October 6, 2006 12:12:
Actually roxette.se doesn’t say that Roxette won’t perform at the event. Just that they’ll do a prerecording the day before:
“As previously stated Roxette will pre-record a performance for the Bravo gala in Hamburg on the 21st of October. However, they will also make a live appearance on stage at the actual event on the 21st.”
BRAVO added Roxette to the list of stage performers again and proudly mailed the ticket owners to have won Roxette for the live show!
So my personal conclusion is that Roxette will indeed perform at the actual event and use the prerecording only for TV if something goes wrong with the live performance. Sounds logical? ;-P
Galadriel said on October 6, 2006 12:32:
What about the “logistical problems”?
Faded away?
Didn’t want to go there anyway, I’m only wondering... *scratch scratch*
tevensso (moderator) said on October 6, 2006 13:23:
What about Bingolotto???
I’m guessing Rox will be there for an interview and maybe some waving, but probably not perform.
ally77 said on October 6, 2006 14:05:
Jeez this is really pathetic… what a complete and utter balls up to say the least….. so all those disappointed fans who gave back there tickets because they where performing live could have actually still gone and perhaps seen Per and Marie live on the stage (which would have been just as good… lets be honest)….
This has to be the biggest cock up in history!
Zelda said on October 6, 2006 14:14:
According to Bravo: They don´t believe to this statement at roxette.se!
The information Bravo get: Marie´s isn´t fit at the moment to play LIVE in a (big) tv show. So they will pre record their performance a day before the show!
Source: Alex Gernandt!
ally77 said on October 6, 2006 14:19:
We know it’s pre-recorded..... we have know that for a few weeks but now roxette.se says Roxette will still attend the show live, perhaps to collect an award...
Resi said on October 6, 2006 14:26:
Can’t believe it!!! I’m so angry, I won’t go there anymore, I feel extremely fooled. This is the very last time I bought such tickets because of Roxette.
Galadriel said on October 6, 2006 14:32:
@ATLTK or tevensso:
When is Bingolotto supposed to be? The same day?
ally77 said on October 6, 2006 15:20:
and Bingolotto told me Roxette WAS not there on the evening as I turned down the chance for tickets...
tevensso (moderator) said on October 6, 2006 15:48:
I was joking. I was making fun of Ted’s persistance of asking about Bingolotto all the time.
ATLTK said on October 6, 2006 16:39:
I mean
if they are in hamburg durung the actual event they can be there aswell eh;-)
ally77 said on October 6, 2006 16:41:
It’s highly comical.... if not annoying for all those fans who returned tickets...
crashroxer said on October 6, 2006 16:45:
EMI? Are you joking?? They actually don’t know the titel of Roxette’ s upcoming new single...*lol*
CRIZ said on October 6, 2006 16:48:
I hope it’s Xmas soon.....I feel stressed....
What did Bravo do that they will appear there? Falling down to their knees? As I said before: If somebody would have told us honestly that Marie is not fit enough I wouldn’t said anyting....But noooo they just broke the worldrecord in confusing people...I still got my tix here...but I still don’t know what to do...
crashroxer said on October 6, 2006 16:59:
Maybe it was planned at the beginning ?? I don’t think Bravo have changed P & M’s mind...
Galadriel said on October 6, 2006 21:00:

LOL
at least you do not lose your sense of humor. ;-)

*looks around*
Am I coming or going?
Damn I’m comfyoozed.
Caleb said on October 7, 2006 05:39:
both EMI Music Sweden AB, and BRAVO announce that Roxette will be appearing on stage after all despite the performance being pre-recorded. Roxette will be on stage at the big ’50 Years BRAVO’ anniversary gala on 21 October 2006.
yes, positive news..............
ally77 said on October 7, 2006 07:03:
Yes but not so positive for those who sent back tickets already!
sille-rox said on October 7, 2006 11:15:
@Zelda
Comes Roxette live to the Show and a pre-recorded performance or not?
Hä? Bravo believe not the statement of roxette.se?
Bravo means Roxette comes to the Show. read Bravo-guestbook!!
i´m confused
lonely_girl said on October 7, 2006 13:14:
Ah really? If it’s true, after all... ::-)
It’s a shame the video-recorder broke down!
sille-rox said on October 7, 2006 14:26:
why makes TDR this not official of here Site? when it´s true.
sille-rox said on October 7, 2006 17:23:
Roxette comes to the Show but no live performance. i think it gives a littele Interview.
hope it changed not again!!!
whateveriam said on October 7, 2006 18:19:
Aha gotcha, thanks for clearing it up!
But wait, didn’t it say they weren’t gonna be there in person? So the interview (if there is one) wil be taped too- dammit!
GT_85 said on October 7, 2006 18:28:
This is the latest anyone from TDR has written about this; tevensso

What? Confirmed? So the message from Roxette AND EMI isn’t enough to trust??
Roxette WON’T be at the Bravo show the day of the show, NO.
But things have changed, or?
So, if a moderator can confirm how it will be, it would be nice.
tevensso (moderator) said on October 7, 2006 21:53:
We don’t have any first hand info. It appears Bravo has persuaded Roxette to stay and appear at the live show.
AURYTE said on October 7, 2006 23:10:
I hope, everyone - Roxette, EMI, Bravo - stick to this plan.
By the way, has anyone counted how many times the plans regarding Roxette’s appearance at the Bravo gala have been changed?
LittleSpooky said on October 8, 2006 02:48:
Can’t count past 10 without taking off my shoes and socks.
NickNL74 said on October 9, 2006 02:40:
Couldn’t it simply be the pre-recording functions as a sort of backup? Maybe they decided to perform live after all, but have the pre-recording in case Marie doesn’t feel fit enough to perform live?
Think about it.. it sounds logical.
But still.. the rumours are strange
Sascha said on October 9, 2006 08:06:
Nick, that’s my theory as well (see page 1)... We’ll see!
About fans who already gave their tickets back: I think they still have their tickets, since the money-back action was still on hold.
Max-Tob said on October 9, 2006 09:27:
Hm. I wouldn’t agree with Nick and Tev. I don’t think it’s about Marie having or not having a “bad day”. If would have been so, they wouldn’t have decided exclusively for pre-recordings in these very few shows they are going to appear during this month. I am almost sure that her general state is stable: namely, her problems are, for the time being, always the same (equilibrium problems, talking problems, orientation problems etc.). I guess she has to learn to deal with them as good as possible, but a thing as such takes time and exercising. So. I don’t think they can back up a live appeareance with a pre-recorded one. I guess they either decide to take a risk and appear live, or simply do a pre-recording. I assume one cannot take huge risks in front of a huge audience. I can’t see Per making an option for live.
NickNL74 said on October 9, 2006 11:01:
@ Max-Tob: With all due respect, but I believe that was “our” whole theory behind it :-)
That they (P&M) have decided that live is a ’go’. So, they intent to perform live, but make a pre-recording for a ’just in case’ scenario.
But non if this matters anyway.. I guess we just have to wait and see what will happen. Either way I’m glad there is a perfermance at all, whether it’s live or pre-recorder: Rox is back and that a fact! ;-)
Max-Tob said on October 9, 2006 11:58:
Oh, sorry Nick. I must have understood something else. I somehow thought that you were talking about something like this: “let’s see if Marie will be able to make it live on that very day; if not, we still have the pre-recording”. And I was just stressing out the fact that Marie’s state is stable anyway and they probably know by now what are the risks of a live appearance, they don’t expect Marie to have “a good/bad day” and, according to it, to make it (or not) live. It’s more about deciding whether they should to cope with the risks or not. Sorry anyway.
ally77 said on October 9, 2006 12:00:
So are we taking bets on a live performance... I wonder what William Hill will offer me! ?
tevensso (moderator) said on October 9, 2006 14:03:
“Live” as in being there. I never saw a live live performance ever on German TV.
Galadriel said on October 9, 2006 14:11:
Long gone the time of the german show “Hitparade” where the artists at least had to sing live... :-(
Sascha said on October 9, 2006 14:30:
Last performance I remember is WICF singback at TOTP. Don’t know if they performed it in the DE or UK studio.
And many artists at “Wetten Dass..?” and “TV Total” still sing/play live... ;-)
ally77 said on October 9, 2006 16:34:
Actually you might answer that for me... WICF was also on TOTP Germany? I didn’t know TOTP was in Germany but I did see a video on Youtube...
I am so confused!
thenicekai said on October 9, 2006 16:53:
TOTP was sold by the BBC to countries all over the planet.
whateveriam said on October 9, 2006 21:23:
You learn something every day Ally...
So, what does everyone reckon they are gonna do there?
ally77 said on October 10, 2006 07:10:
At this moment in time I have no idea.... Perhaps come stage and wave!
Galadriel said on October 10, 2006 07:20:
Some artists still play live at “Wetten daß?”... wow...
I haven’t watched that show for some time.
quote whateveriam: “So, what does everyone reckon they are gonna do there?”
Well, for a short “interview” (actually smalltalk), I think, and if we’re lucky a few lines of a-capella maybe... :-)
ally77 said on October 10, 2006 07:39:
Has anyone stopped to think that by just appearing on the show it brings them a whole heap of promotion for the latest single and album.... and that’s all they are doing!
Galadriel said on October 10, 2006 07:47:
@ally77:
I’m not sure if I understand you correctly...,
but standing 2 min around only “staring at the wall” wouldn’t help much in terms of promotion...
ally77 said on October 10, 2006 09:43:
Of course it does...
For them to just appear on a TV show in a country where they have always done well screams “Hey look we are back.... please buy our new GH album”....
Either than or the thought of Bravo suing them for pulling out was the real reason!
pwbbounce (moderator) said on October 10, 2006 10:10:
@Ally - the “German” WICF on YouTube is actually the one that was filmed in the UK!! It’s wrong. The reason I know this is because I knew someone in the audience!
sille-rox said on October 11, 2006 12:52:
Bravo writes of the question: What makes Roxette on Stage when not live perform?
Answere: after our last Info perform Roxette 1 from hers good Songs on stage.
This is with safety an old Song. What is with One wish?
crashroxer said on October 11, 2006 13:01:
@sille-rox: You’re always doing panic!!! SLOW DOWN, please!
Did you really think, they already know which song Rox (and many other acts) will perform next week ?? The answer you get, is surely from a bravo-worker who has really nothing to do with the ’show-program’. And I think his/her answer is very OK.
sille-rox said on October 11, 2006 13:24:
@crashroxer
i will not making Panic!!! sorry!!!
but i wondered me over this answere. i think Roxette makes an pre-recorded entrance?
tevensso (moderator) said on October 12, 2006 08:43:
Will Roxette perform more than one song? Because I heard they will play a different song than One Wish.
pwbbounce (moderator) said on October 12, 2006 08:48:
Really hope they play One Wish!! What’s the bet it’s The Look, playback.......
sille-rox said on October 12, 2006 09:08:
i mean Roxette playing not ONE WISH on stage?
i don´t believe....
pwbbounce (moderator) said on October 12, 2006 09:09:
Not convinced there is gonna be two songs performed. Hopefully, but I doubt it.
crashroxer said on October 12, 2006 09:55:
@tev: Where did you heard it??
I really HOPE they play ’One Wish’. And HOPEFULLY NOT ’The Look’!!
sille-rox said on October 12, 2006 10:00:
Maybe played Roxette-Listen to your heart?
but i hope of ONE WISH!!!!!!
ally77 said on October 12, 2006 11:08:
I suppose being a show to celebrate 50 years it’s more than likely that it would be The Look....
It would be great to see Roxette perform The Look as they are now in 2006, even if it might be playback!
Sascha said on October 12, 2006 11:19:
I read that Take That will present their new single at BRAVO50, so why not Roxette? Maybe they’ll do a short medley.
sille-rox said on October 12, 2006 13:21:
That´s no Promotion for One Wish in Germany when play Roxette The Look and not One Wish.
i don´t know...
joyrider said on October 12, 2006 21:09:
It would be very silly and strange if Roxette play The Look on the Bravo 50 years gala since they’ve played The Look in 1996 at the Bravo 40 years gala as well ...
m-cvk said on October 12, 2006 21:46:
I think that OW is just too much for Marie at the moment...my guess is that they will perform a slower but popular song like LTYH or WICF.
Gr8 to see them back on stage again!!! Even it’s just 1 song :-) I can’t stop counting the hours!!!
Sascha said on October 13, 2006 08:07:
Since IMHBL is featured on the forthcoming BRAVO50 CD compilation i’m sure BRAVO would like that song to be performed as a classic.
crashroxer said on October 13, 2006 08:48:
TT will also play their brand new song. And the release date for ’OW’ here in germany was also changed into the week AFTER the gala!! So, it would be the best promotion timing. Let’s hope for ONE WISH this evening *pray*
And overall: If Roxette would really perform ’IMHBL’ - Marie COULD sing and perfom it live - at the gala without any pre-recording!! Remember her apperience at TV HUSET with ’Sommaräng’ this early summer...
Starrox said on October 13, 2006 16:53:
“The week AFTER the gala”? October 20 is the day before... *scratches head*
whateveriam said on October 13, 2006 18:26:
Oh, its confuzzling...can we just have one thing that DOESN’T have a angle of confusion...please?
ally77 said on October 15, 2006 20:00:
Looking forward to seeing this now.... especially after seeing the SVT performance!
chrisjankunas said on October 6, 2006 10:07:
Anyone checked out the update at www.Roxette.se ? It says they will be there on stage live ! But they won’t perform live. I guess Marie was the reason then !
“As previously stated Roxette will pre-record a performance for the Bravo gala in Hamburg on the 21st of October. However, they will also make a live appearance on stage at the actual event on the 21st.”
That’s nice. Wish they would come to the UK !
