i think “Roxette” is Marie and Per, i really love helena’s voice, she sings damn good with per in SOAP, but “roxette” is a trademark, its just like replace Per with Christoffer or take a look at Pink Floyd without Waters it is not pink floyd... and Waters without Gilmour is the same but not as worse a gilmour alone...

I don’t think Helena’s voice fits Roxette songs at all.
I can’t imagine her voice beside Maries voice. I guess that if they both sing together we wouldn’t be able to liste to Helena’s voice clearly couse marie’s voice i so much stronger and powefull that wouldn’t let Helenas voice come out.

@Judith: Hahahaha - very diplomatic of you (-: And I agree!

we‘re disscussing if Helena is the best person to make the backing vocals in the Roxette band in the future!! (maybe for a little tour?)
Nobody said that she´s going to replace Marie in Roxette! Obviously it´s not possible!!!!

i even don’t want imagine roxette with Per and Helena,it would be something,but not roxette,i think i would hated it if it were,it would always hurted if there were someyone no matter who,instead of Marie,she’s not changable in my eye,hope it would never happens...Helena is not a bad singer indeed,she can sing alone,unless she would always stand under Maries shadow

Lantartida, the only one who currently in this topic seems to have a problem is you. Nobody has even said anything about H vs M, just that they would not or they would like to see H mixed with Rox. Not more, nor less. So please, don’t start talking about a flame before it even started ;)

Hi all,

in my opinion Helena does not deserve to sing backing vocals or anything else for Roxette. To be honest, I do not like her very much. I also do not know what’s Per liking at her at all... Possibly he just wanted a complete opposite of Marie for his albums. She is simply the worst I ever heard...
But what shall we discuss here, Per rules and he decides...
Please call Vicky again!!!!

No Helena in Roxette!!!Rox songs would sound ridiculous with her. I think Gessle is clever enough not to allow this. Save her voice for Gessle’s solo projects, though what he has found in her voice is a mystery to me. Glad I’m not the only one. Bringing back Vicki would be great idea indeed, she is simply superb

miss-misery said on March 27, 2008 23:07:

Wooooowo!!!! The Helena anti-fanclub is back again!!!!! Any excuse is good for some people to atack her.

And no, I don’t see Helena doing back vocals for Roxette or for any other band on tour. I agree 100% with Judith. She should concentrate in her solo career or in Sandy Mouche and give more good music for those who can appreciate it. For those who cannot.... you’ll miss it!!! :p

P.S. Lantartida, take it easy man, you know this is quite useless :)

first girl on the moon, some Roxette songs (like ’One Wish’ or ’Make Me Head Go Pop’) sound ridiculous, even if Helena was not involved. No need to blame her, Roxette can be ridiculous by themselves when they want, with no ’help’ from the outside.

By the way, has anybody noticed Vicki’s voice? She did some backing vocals for songs included on ’Joyride’ and ’Tourism’, but I never managed to hear her voice. Even in the live recordings, she’s not noticeable. I don’t really miss her...

abysmo said on March 28, 2008 10:55:

Roxette always did pop with bubblegum feeling (for ex. Dangerous, Joyride, How Do You Do, June Afternoon) so I don’ t see One Wish or Make My Head Go Pop ridiculous. One Wish sounds like HDYD 2006 to me.
And about Helena. She is completely different singer than Marie, every attemps to arrange her into Roxette as a singer must failed because everybody will compare her with Marie. Roxette is Per’ s music and Marie’ s voice. I’ m sure that Per have the same attitude.
I like Helena’ s sweet voice, but not as a part of Roxette music. This will be same like replacing Per with Mikeal. As I said, I like Helena and Mikeal, but H. on SOAP and Dynamo and M. on A Familly Affair or Marie’ s solo albums.

Helena might be a good singer, but I don’t see any reason why she should be involved in future Roxette songs...
btw I’m really suprised how many people hate MMHGP. OW isn’t really good, but MMHGP must be one of the funniest and craziest Roxette songs ever (although I could live without that strange middle-8)

There’s a bit of sexism going on here it seems. If Helena was a bloke, I’m sure there would be no complaints whatsoever, unless he/she was truly godawful. Just throwing that one into the mix. I mean, c’mon guys, the way some of you talk about her, it makes her seem like she is the antichrist! Get this whole ’OMG she’s gonna replace Marie!’ mindset some of you have been stuck in since...2003, out of your heads, it hasn’t happened, right? 5 years dudes, she still ain’t replaced Marie, and it looks less likely now. Belt up.;

I personally think she would be perfectly adequate as a backing vocalist. May not be the best choice ever, but she’d be fine doing it. But that’s just me. And I stick by my previous statement that I hope Per uses her if they ever tour... ;-) Lets see you haters put up with that one eh?

whateveriam said on April 21, 2008 21:55:

Indeed it shall.

C’mon guys, you could do a lot worse then have Helena as a backing!
