As I was reading CNN News as usual, I was shocked reading this article. They never ever talk about Roxette here in North America. At least for the past few years they haven’t. Here’s the link to the CNN News:

Secondly.. I am not read what u said there at all. I know me being glad or not doesn’t makes a difference but still if THAT is what ROxette needed for attention... I wish it never happened even if Rox go to #1. Think about Marie and her mental/physical pain and u will know what I mean!!

They’re talking about her every hour on MTV, and they said that doctors see that her recovery is going to be speedy.

Hello all!!

After reading all the articles..it is intersting to note that the only songs these people give Rox credit for is The Look, Joyride, and It Must Have been love...as if to say that they have not been around since!!!But we Roxfans know better!!!!Even though these songs were really big...there is SO MUCH MORE TO ROXETTE than they are aware of!!!!Hehehe

Keep the prayers up....God Bless Marie, reach out and touch her and heal her so she and Per can make magic music together again!!!
xxxxto all, saluti

@Anonymous (an idiot too lazy to sign up for a real account, or a sorry-assed coward?)

*Temporary* pain and discomfort? This is a brain tumour for crying out loud, not a rectal examination. You are such a stupid, inconsiderate moron.

PLEASE GIVE US SOME HOT HOT HOT NEWS ABOUT MARIES FEELINGS AND HOW ACTUALLY IS SHE AT THE MOMENT?

Anarem said on :

Anonymous,

I am a girl. And you are still a moron. Point final.

Anarem said on :

And furthermore, a friend of mine died from a tumour. She underwent chemo, radiation and other treatment. For a while, we thought she was going to be fine but she suddenly took a turn for the worst. I’m not saying that the same thing is going to happen to Marie, but an operation to the brain is a very serious procedure.

Don’t presume I don’t know what I’m talking about.
