hello people just wondering... i just want to know what you people think about per’s family, this is what i think:(just in case if you re not doing anything else)
- per: really cute
-mom: really old
-wife: she’s allright (>=( ), but oh well, that’s his choice and we should respect his decision (i guess)
- son: really cute specially his cheeks

What are we to judge their family? What right? Have a limit please

patricia said on :

I don’t know much about Åsa Nordin, but I think she’s a nice person. She loves Per and vice versa...
They’re together since 1984, I don’t know...
What can it be? Love.
Per is an example for me.

annaG said on :

Åsa is really FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
she’s always so sweet to me, all the times i’ve met her she’s been an angel!!!!! :))))

Gabriel is the sweetest and I think Per and Åsa do a very good job as parent.
to be honest I think he’s not as spoiled as Marie’s kids are, he listens really well to his parents and for example when they were touring he always went to bed after 2 or 3 songs, while Marie’s kids were allowed to see the whole show if they wanted, that’s not good for little kids I think!

gyllene_tjej said on :

they are both amazing and they complete each other so well! Woody must be the luckiest woman on earth to have Per :) I love and admire both, Gabriel is a cutie as well! :o)

felicity-brown said on :

Another two words: oh dear! And three more: mind your own! Don’t mean to be rude, but this really is nobody elses business. What will this achieve?!

rox74ever said on :

what the hell is your problem ??
why do you gotta come with an attitude...”blabla bla is not my business” ?
why cant you just “ignore” this question and dont waist your time answering?..
theres a reason for this “small talk” so we fans can talk of whatever we feel talking about, even if it is about the Per’s shoe size!!
okay? just let us say whatever we want!

felicity-brown said on :

My problem?! That would be YOU!!
Sure, this is a place for fans, and I am one, but you don’t see me coming on and criticising their families...
Yes, of course we can say what we want... and I did! =)

rox74ever said on :

i dont care what you do with your life, you can critisize my ass if you want, but i critizice whoever i fell like!!
if you think i am such a “mean” woman why do you waste your time on me then?

bluesue said on :

Why are Marie´s children spoiled? Do they behave badly? Never seen that until now...

-Gee- said on :

bloody leave their families in peace!!!!! especially the kids!!!! P&M are the stars, the public people, NOT THEIR FAMILIES!

I’m reacting ’allergic’ on that topic cuz i heard yesterday that there were again some sadasses who put their car in front of Per’s door and got on the car to stare over the wall... FOR WHAT THE HELL DID HE BUILD THAT WALL? for what else to protect his family??? or...is there a sign on the wall which says: “PROTECTION WALL - BUT YOU’RE WELCOME TO USE A LADDER TO LOOK OVER IT (and stick your bloody noses in our private life)

...bah...

gyllene_tjej said on :

there should be some levels we fans shouldn’t cross I think. Otherwise it feels annoying and embarrassing, huh?

PerFanatic said on :

Yes, as in everything, there are good fans and psycho fans. Nobody could love Rox more than myself but I will never stoop to the level of “Stalking” Per or Marie. Nor will I perpetuate a discussion which involves rating or criticizing their families. Some people just don’t know where to draw the line. Sad but true.

little-miss-sorrow said on :

...well said, gee...

rox74ever said on :

LISTEN PEOPLE!!!
i am not telling anybody to go over per’s wall and say what they think about their family.
That’s why i have the LYNK so you can take a look at the pictures!!
It’s not like i’m bothering them!! it’s just pictures!!and i guess “accepted by Per” on this home page!!
all i wanted to know what what you guys THINK about the pictures!! But if you guys feel “ofended” by that question... Oh well!! keep going to other messages!!

Cinnamon said on :

There´s a difference between talking about their families and taking a look over the wall in front of Per´s house!!! We shouldn´t compare these things.
A wall is a line we mustn´t cross. But, if they don´t hide their families, they must accept us talking about them. Just talking!!! This will harm no one!!!

patricia said on :

Cinnamon is right. They don’t hide their families.
It’s not possible to hide them all the time,OK.

-Gee- said on :

HELL YEAH, and why did Marie fly into a tantrum (went really mad) as some fan took a photo of her with Josefin in the pram? They also want to be private outside their houses!!!!

for a more exact description: Marie went THIS MAD the fan was crying afterwards!

Cinnamon said on :

Gee, you´re right, it might be wrong taking pictures of the children without even asking Marie or Per about that... But it´s just great for a fan to see their children, just to see them!!!
It happened to me at a concert I was taking a photo of Asa and later I recognized there was one of the children at the photo, too. I´m sorry for that ‘cause I didn´t want to do that, but it happened...

Nefatari said on :

Well, it’s naturally ... you see someone and you think something about that person, maybe in a symphatically way, maybe not. That’s no fault. It’s a normal reaction ... sometimes you change your opinion after the first impression, sometimes you don’t.
The real problem are those hysterical fans, who are crossing the lines in an egocentric way. “I AM A FAN, I HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO THAT” If the band is on tour, it’s ok to take photos ... but they need their time to be private, too.
I’ve been a fan for more than 12 years now, but I’ve never been that hysterical. I’ve never tried to take a photo of Marie, when Josefine was around.

And about Per’s family: I love that photo showing Per and his mother ... it’s full of love!
Don’t want to say anything else about his family, everything I think is my own opinion, and I don’t want to rate or something like that!

Cinnamon said on :

Okay, Nefatari, I agree with you. But what would you do if you´re in Sweden and you meet them out on the street? Wouldn´t you take a photo of them? Yes, this situation IS their private life, but I don´t think I wouldn´t take my chance ( after asking them about that ). If they´d say no, it would be okay for me, too.

billyrox said on :

Thing is Cinnamon if you just happen to be in Sweden and see them out shopping: then they are PRIVATE PEOPLE! They are not working just at that moment so it is NOT right to pester them with pictures and what not! That stuffs ’ok’ when they are on tour or doing promo stuff because then they expect things like this (The exception being the visits to their houses, and pestering them when they are with their families etc. This is NEVER OK!!)- NOT OTHERWISE!

Thats what all the pathetic fans that do stuff like this have to realise! There is no difference between looking over the wall and jumping on them when they are out shopping (etc) as private people: Both are a breech in privacy and in my mind and many other Normal fans minds can be classed as Stalking or harrassment! And I think that people who do this and visit their houses before and after concerts (like a various group of Polish fans did in Stockholm) should be charged by the police!

Are you all (those who deem stuff mentioned in my post ’normal’ things to do) stupid or something? Haven’t your parents taught you right from wrong? Or is it maybe that you were all born with a severe lack of common sense? Come on guys! Think about it!! Would you like to be treated the way you ’all’ treat them?

freshold said on :

@billyrox:
I know that not only Polish fans visit their houses. I have known people from Sweden, Finland, Germany and a number of other countries who go to their houses as well. By the way, I don’t support stalking and even when I met Bruce Springsteen after years I didnt take a photo with him cos I respect his privacy even during the tour. However, pointing out that a group of Polish fans went to Marie ( and they were allowed by her herself to take photos ) isn’t nice Billyrox - we all know that fans from every country and not only Poland would take their opportunity.

billyrox said on :

Freshold:

Nothing against the Poles! Some of my best friends are Polish!! Just pointing out that this particular group went on several occasions and refused to leave when they were at Pers house despite the fact that Åsa had said he wanted to be left alone as he was tired! Instead of using their common sense they rang again a few minutes after Åsa had said Per was tired!!! In the end to shut them up and to get peace for himself Per was forced to come down! Upon doing which they jumped on him and started kissing him and telling him that they loved him soooo much! They recorded the conversation with cameras and a tape recorder!!!

Thats not very nice is it? Or are you one of the freaks who deem this as normal? And My mentioning the Poles was just a sick example to back up my statements! I don’t believe at all that there are that many fans who would disturb them at their houses, because many people are able to see that it’s wrong!! Those who do not see that it’s wrong really should see about getting some help upstairs!!!

freshold said on :

as I said in my previous post, I don’t support stalking. And I don’t support the belief in stereotypes either.

Cinnamon said on :

@ billyrox: What wrong thing am I doing if I´d meet them somewhere and I´d ask them for a picture? They can just say no and I´d leave them alone!!! Otherwise I´d just stand there and look at them. What´s the difference between? They´d recognize a fan being there in both ways!

rox74ever said on :

Cinammon i think you are right!
if i see Per or marie in the streets and if i had the opportunity to take a picture(asking them) and i didnt took it, i would regret it for the rest of my life: “why didnt i took the picture”!
but of course, they know they are famous and they know there will always be a FAN who will stop them for pictures and authographs....

Cinnamon said on :

You´re right, too!!! Greetings to the USA!!!

Resi said on :

If I was in Sweden and would meet Per or Marie with family for example in town, in the supermarket or somewhere else, I would never ask them for a photo...
I think it should be part of the human sense to leave them alone in their privacy.
Some fans seem to lose the measure for what is wrong and what is right. People as Per and Marie are no machines who just exist for fans, but they are normal people as you and me.
By the way: I think that the question of rox74ever (this topic) is an absolutely harmless question and has nothing to do with the behaviour of stupid fans who for example climb on their cars to watch over Per´s wall...

Cinnamon said on :

@ Resi: I´d never ask them for a photo if I saw them together with their families!!! I wouldn´t disturb their privacy in that case! Just if they were alone!!! I do know they don´t exist only for us...

Resi said on :

@Cinnamon:
I´d also not ask for example Marie if I´d see her in the supermarket alone (without family)... it´s not the right place, somehow, I would feel embarrassed! But if you wouldn´t feel embarrassed, it´s okay to ask her, I think, if she´s alone.

Cinnamon said on :

So okay, I´ve never been to Sweden before and if it happens to me one time, I hope i´ll do the right thing...for me and for them.

sweet_stalker57 said on :

well I know what I would do if some Polish girls came knocking
late at night! PRZYJECIE!!!!
but in defense of all the mad fans from: (insert 3rd world or developing country
here)
the phrase “be careful what you wish for” comes to mind.
if you are always on the cover of Popcorn, Bravo, Tiger Beat... lame music mags
etc etc as a teen idol that is gonna happen.

and what is up with Det som var nu (???) video.
it is like a home movie so I never watch it as it does not interest me
but when many see that they are gonna want more.... so: pictures in public!!!!
