Thanx very much, never seen that before!
Are there more rox documentaries hidden somewhere?

Thanks for that link... never seen it before and actually don’t know why I never searched for something like this!
I live in China, so extra nice to see. A few weeks ago I was in city called Harbin (Northern China, basically between North Korea and Russia) and to my own amazement... Listen To Your Heart was played on a radio in a local market. Weird but great! Ranks high in my list of “most unexpected places to hear a Roxette-song....”.

No, there shouldn’t have been English subtitles. Roxette were an internationally successful band at the time, but that’s irrelevant. It’s obvious that TV4 were making this for Sweden only, an exclusive or a special as someone else earlier on said. If they were planning on selling it internationally, they’d have done the interviews in English, or spent the money translating and subtitling. As they didn’t, you can conclude they didn’t plan on selling it abroad, or did and decided that the cost of translation, etc would be better passed onto the companies that bought it, or they just didn’t see the point of wasting money doing English subtitles when the native language in Sweden isn’t English. Simple really. Just because they sung in English doesn’t make it a given they have to everything else in English too. Particularly on home turf. ;-)

It was made for Sweden, in Sweden, about Swedes, in Swedish. Why would they use English at all?

But this short report was made for Swedish TV, it was not intended for the fans worldwide. Is it that hard to understand? It was not aired anywhere but in Sweden, so there was no need of English subtitles. Ah, and TV4 was not aware that it would hit YouTube 13 years later!!!
If you were talking about the international Roxette DVD’s, I’d agree with you then. That’s where they had to put subtitles to both documentaries...
