Roxette sings TL not OW
bad promo!!! for OW
look here under die auftretenden Musicacts mit Titel den sie performen
GT_85 said on October 19, 2006 18:27:
I guess they promote the Hits! not the single, so this wasn’t a bad choise. I guess they will perform One Wish in other tv shows in Germany.
joyrider said on October 19, 2006 18:56:
I guess for BRAVO Roxette is a kind of one hit wonder ... because they’ve already performed The Look 10 years ago at the 40-years BRAVO Show ... (BTW you can watch it over YouTube.com)
A better promo for their new GH would have been to perform the Medley ...
Now I’ve got ONE WISH: >>> Wetten dass

Well, that’s stoopid. They’re gonna perform playback to a 18 year old song. Strange.... Thats just gonna look weird
Zelda said on October 19, 2006 19:42:
I can´t believe it! What a stupid idea to perform The Look again - like 10 years before!

’Well, that’s stoopid. They’re gonna perform playback to a 18 year old song. Strange.... Thats just gonna look weird’
Well, it worked when it was 8 years old, why not now?
Maybe they’ll use the same tape they did last time heheheh...
EDITS...typos and random thoughts...
Superbullie said on October 19, 2006 20:44:
i remember they played a playback version of “TL” without the 2nd verse.
i also don’t like the thought they’re not playing the new single. perhaps bravo did not allow them to play it. or wil l they perform both songs?
joyrider said on October 19, 2006 22:33:
I am pretty sure, BRAVO is responsible for the set list ... you know, it’s THEIR birthday party ;) ...
Maybe they’ll show us the performance from 1996 ... that would explain why Roxette won’t perform “live” ... you know, “PRE-RECORDED (10 years ago)” ... *lol*
sille-rox said on October 19, 2006 23:20:
Roxette performen an old Song pre-recorded. Shit Promo!!!!
Why plays Roxette not a Ballad zb LTYH? Always The Look!!!
better was OW!!!!!!
Marieangel said on October 20, 2006 01:27:
They’re going to play OW and TL surely!
But,i think TL is the wellknown song,people love it!!
And OW...doesn’t like too much,at least for many fans here in the forum,just take a look at and you’ll find them.

A history show - a historical song.
Questions? No? Dismissed!
rox-kuryliw said on October 20, 2006 16:12:
for album its is for deff ! ! ! ! and albums sales are more important than singles sales no question.
Krischan said on October 20, 2006 16:17:
OW is for the fans and not expected to sell zillions of times.
Breathe8 said on October 21, 2006 10:20:
Fans met Marie and Per in Hamburg at the airport!!!

I am so lucky for them!!
roxgirl_germany said on October 21, 2006 19:41:
A short snippet of Roxette on the carpet was to be seen so far!
roxgirl_germany said on October 21, 2006 19:42:
It is the THIRD time now that Roxette was announced by the host. They should be coming after this commercial break since they are in the (musical) 80s then. *hopes not to fall asleep*
chrisjankunas said on October 21, 2006 20:18:
Perfromance? Playback ? Live on stage ? What is now? LOL !
kielroxer said on October 21, 2006 20:20:
looks a bit fake.
but they are on german television.
rox is back in good old germany!
kielroxer said on October 21, 2006 20:21:
will never understand why they could not do this playback - the look live in the show...
kielroxer said on October 21, 2006 20:22:
and why they did not a short the look AND a short one wish
kielroxer said on October 21, 2006 20:26:
i hope for all the people outside germany that someone recorded it and will place it at youtube. marie looked great, and per sent a message after the song to the audience. don´t know if it was prerecorded, too.
Krischan said on October 21, 2006 20:26:
Cause there’s always the possibility that Marie might forget the lyrics or stumble or whatever. To do a playback is safer that way - you can make a 2nd take.

You have to copy and paste the two parts of the link together, I didn’t want to mess up the layout... ;-)

gyllene_tjej said on October 21, 2006 20:54:
oooohhhh....sweet Marie blowing us a kiss... and Per - smart and sexy as always, thx!
Please good souls recording the show, provide a wmv file and then I can make a nice mpeg2 file of it
youtube is good for a start, but the stuff loses sooo much of its quality by being put there...
Please, I can’t wait!
Btw - are the clothes we see in the pix the ones they performed in, or is it just pix from the press meeting before the gala?
roxtexanet said on October 21, 2006 20:57:
WOW! Those are great pictures, Marie looks stunning! A real superstar...
I can’t believe how fast they can make these pictures available online!
kielroxer said on October 21, 2006 20:59:
thanks for the link...
though it was a little bit hard to get to the images, but finally i did it...
pietROxette said on October 21, 2006 20:59:
If someone can tell me whe exactly Roxette played (how many hours and minutes after the start) I’ll record the repeat of the show tomorrow morning and you’ll all get a sweet DVD-quality file.
roxing-doctor said on October 21, 2006 21:01:
what a waste of time to wait so long to see them sing again and then go playback sorry i suspected they would sing life really to bad i had roxette at a higher level not go faking .
but marie looked great and hot .
kielroxer said on October 21, 2006 21:04:
hmmm. can´t tell you exactly when they will appear in the 5:15 one. certainly they will show less commercials in the breaks then in the tonight coverage...tonight they appeared about 22:15, so about 2 hours after start.
pietROxette said on October 21, 2006 21:06:
OK, I’ve freed up some space on the disk, so I’ll record the entire show in the best quality I can.
kielroxer said on October 21, 2006 21:06:
hey ally, try this one:
http://editorial.gettyimages.com/source/search/FrameSet.aspx?s=EventImag...
and scroll down a little bit
roxgirl_germany said on October 21, 2006 21:14:
I think she did a good performance and I could not really notice any “motoric problems”. She walked around on stage, moving to all corners of the stage to meet the audience (present or not) there. I just think she looked to the back of the stage (towards Pelle Alsing) a bit too often. ;)
The host announced them as “Marie and PIERRE”!!! (God...)
On stage were also Clarence, and as guitarist, Christopher if I am not mistaken. (At first I did not recognise him but I think he has a new hairdo.) Some people think it could also have been the “SOAP guy”. (Wasn’t that someone’s nephew?)
On the ranks, the audience was STANDING and clapping during the performance!!!
At the end, the TV showed P&M bowing while you can hear a different sound from the loudspeakers. (Okay, that did not work. Wink) Per’s “Danke schön!” is followed by Marie’s “Thank you very much! We love you all very, very much!” (I hope I got that right, I am waiting for confirmation.) Others think she said, “See you again soon”.
It was so great to see them. :)
Max-Tob said on October 21, 2006 21:16:
Great pix. Marie is truely great. I am impressed. Still, in the pic when she’s sending a kiss to the camera, you can see Per’s arm sustaining her. But I am impressed with her strength.
Why so many pix with Sarah Connor and only two with Roxette???????
lonely_girl said on October 21, 2006 21:17:
Per was actually too late with his lipsyncs I think... but it was so cool to see them together on stage again... I’m still not sure about Christoffer actually... ::-)
roxgirl_germany said on October 21, 2006 21:20:
Lipsync: Could be due to the (pre-)recording?
I’ll check again tomorrow and try to find out if it is Christoffer or not. It is too late now. ;)
Roxfever said on October 21, 2006 21:22:
@Roxgirl_Germany, she said both, thank you very much. We love you all very, very much + See you soon again.

SOAP forum has it first:

thenicekai said on October 21, 2006 21:54:
Yep, that’s the link from the forum. Check back there a bit later for a version with better quality. Will take me a couple of minutes.
alchemiste said on October 21, 2006 22:08:
Not “albums” but “records” (this includes singles sales).
tomos85 said on October 21, 2006 22:10:
By saying ’albums’ I meant ’records’. All in all, it’s 5 mln too much :)
thenicekai said on October 21, 2006 22:27:
Better quality version available for a few hours only. Where? http://www.sonofaplumber.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=29803#29803
edit: Replaced the youtube link in the SOAP/Gessle forum (see 7 posts above) for a slightly better version. Well, I guess it’s the system’s fault that the change is not soooo huge. Have fun.
tevensso (moderator) said on October 21, 2006 22:43:
It wasn’t pre-recorded. Well they DID pre-record it, but they didn’t use that.
thenicekai said on October 21, 2006 23:10:
Looks like they mixed prerecorded tape and live appearance. One for the close ups, the other for the audience scenes. If you look carefully, you will notice some funny editing faults.
Bunio said on October 21, 2006 23:35:
well, did you see the end of it when we hear marie’s voice saying “we really hope you to see you soon again” etc? the odd thing is that she is waving at the moment and her mouth is not moving.
abysmo said on October 21, 2006 23:53:
Great to see Marie back on stage in front of this big audience.
PS: Did you hear when moderator say it´s Marie and Piere? Ha ha, maybe he thought that Vinnetou is member of Roxette. (Piere Brice)
ally77 said on October 22, 2006 07:12:
Great video, I think both Marie and Per looked great and it was nice to see an old performance done! :) Marie truly does look fantastic back on stage!
gyllene_tjej said on October 22, 2006 07:49:
THANX kai, for the zipped mpg version, it’s better than youtube. Youtube is the last resort only for me.
Wonder what pietros version is going to be, even better quality than this hopefully!
Kama said on October 22, 2006 07:57:
Do you stil have doubts about bass player?? It’s not Christopher for sure. it was the guy who played bass on SOAP.
Max-Tob said on October 22, 2006 08:36:
it’s the guy from Metro Jets. Magnus Borjeson. Take a look on their own site or on Junk site. Metro Jets have a nice project going on right now.
And he was replacing Anders in SOAP project. Magnus usually works with Christofer.
per_mson said on October 22, 2006 09:11:
I think “the Look” was a bad choice. OW would have been so much better promotion. People who like “The Look” already have a CD with that one. They won’t buy the Hits CD....
Oh, so it was not prerecorded after all! Cool! :-)
Otherwise it was quite entertaining to look at the show I think. One thing that was funny was when they announced a band the audience went “aaaaahhhh”, but as soon as they said “Tokio Hotel” the audience went “iiiiiiih” instead... Millions of tiny teeny girls screaming at once. Sounded soooo stupid!
Tider12_ said on October 22, 2006 10:43:
anyone can upload in good quality?? Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
T-O-M said on October 22, 2006 13:21:
DivX version is also avaible here:

gyllene_tjej said on October 23, 2006 08:14:
How about DVD quality pietro? Would be terribly nice! Thanks in advance!
RobS said on October 23, 2006 13:41:
Does anyone else keep on watching the Bravo clip?
I’ve heard The Look about a million times but that performance was really quite special.
rox-kuryliw said on October 23, 2006 13:54:
well iv seen a bad clip of the look now from the gala, and i have to say i thought it was good, they looked relaxed and enjoyiong thereselves. marie with her tradmark movies and both dressed great .
pardek said on October 23, 2006 15:24:
Marie looks soo good: http://www.spiegel.de/img/0,1020,723079,00.jpg
=> Bravo Gala
Max-Tob said on October 23, 2006 15:45:
yes, Marie is great! She looks SOOOOOO much better than Per actually!
ncurran said on October 23, 2006 16:18:
“She looks SOOOOOO much better than Per actually!”
So whats new? She always has!
Jud (moderator) said on October 23, 2006 19:39:
“She looks SOOOOOO much better than Per actually!”
“So whats new? She always has!”
haha!!!!! I think I can only agree :D
Max-Tob said on October 23, 2006 20:02:
haha, well, to me, they were not really beautiful...I mean, you know, my woman ideal goes in a different direction. And Per is not my type of guy either. But lately eeeeeverybody made a habit from praising Per’s “beauty”. And I thought I should counterballance this. hehe
RobS said on October 24, 2006 12:11:
Question for the lucky people that did get to see them “live”, and have seen the show that was broadcast. How much that was shown on TV was actually from the live show?
Marieangel said on October 24, 2006 16:48:
I just think the parts of the audience.The rest from pre-recorded
Marieangel said on October 24, 2006 17:12:
I’ve donwnloaded the video from: http://www.roxette.cz/download.html
But it hasen’t sound! good quality of image but no sound.It’s a pity
T-O-M said on October 28, 2006 11:23:
No sound? You need to install codec into your PC or use another multimedia player. (I tested it in Nero Showtime).
Emil__BG said on October 28, 2006 21:35:
“It has sound.”
Butr depending on my friend who has been there ,the real performance was much ,much betterrrrr!!
Marie moves,smiles ,sings like before!!
Galadriel said on October 29, 2006 12:21:

*gg* And I thought this is my job. But we can share it. ;-)
