Well said crashi! :-)
But back to topic - I’ve found one clip and one photo. Not sure if it’s she...

There is a video of Emma on Youtube. She sings “Proud Mary”. What a voice!
Room_service said on November 16, 2008 21:37:
Let Marie in peace, she has nothing to do with this project. Is it that hard to understand?

I think Emma Christensen is the singer that we can watch in these videos, singing two famous covers:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKZz_naxCFE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNDUF66BeK8
And it seems her blog: http://gaoben.blogg.se/
I don’t understand Swedish but she writes about Fotbollsgalan in her blog: Emma Christensen is 21 years old and lives in Vellinge, Skåne. She plays football in the Husie IF from Malmö. She took part in “Svensktoppen nästa” this summer.
If you want to see her: http://gaoben.blogg.se/images/2008/dsc_0007_11318559.jpg

No Emma is not replacing anyone, Helena just gave birth to a son, that’s why she’s not on stage tonight. Emma won’t be singing, as it’s only lip sync.

Tev, tonite is a simple playback o something more complex like real voice and a special playback track and Swedish people isn´t tired of see Per making playback on every TV presentation?
daniel_alv said on November 17, 2008 11:17:
Funny job, lipsinc to some elses voice :P
According to Expressen Per will be on at 21:30, but that can change.

EDIT: I don’t think the majority of the swedish population is thinking about that Per sings playback.
emilio said on November 17, 2008 18:18:
Hey That why his tours are so succesfull because is the only chance to listen him sing live! (joke)
Is the show broadcasted live through the web?
royalball said on November 17, 2008 19:35:
I hope this performance is a live performance and not playback.
whateveriam said on November 17, 2008 20:26:
It’s already been said that it’s going to be lipsynched. I doubt there’d be a last minute change
tevensso (moderator) said on November 17, 2008 20:37:
Per looked nice! Leather pants and a nice jacket with a striped tie! Emma was cute too. A slightly new version of the song, album version? Of course edited at the end.
Emil__BG said on November 17, 2008 20:43:
That yuotube clips is great!
What a voice !
What a fire on stage!
It’s maybe time for another change in Per’s team.
Per should take her on live performances and even on tour.
PerAndren said on November 17, 2008 20:51:
Once again... It was still Helena’s voice you could hear...
PerAndren said on November 17, 2008 20:56:
But he should definitely go on tour, as I wrote i another topic, he has great material and and a great band for it! What about gigs on venues as Debaser Medis and so on? It will be sold out for sure! Come to Uppsala as well!
crashroxer said on November 17, 2008 21:10:
Thanks for the short review, tevensso ;-) Can’t wait to see it...
Emil__BG said on November 17, 2008 21:11:
Definitrly on tour!
And with Christensen ,Per’s tour will be entertaining again .
emilio said on November 18, 2008 02:57:

Well, don’t think there is actually. Maybe if someone has recorded on dvd, then it’s better, but now it’s all we’ve got. You can dowload this file if you wish - just click on “pobierz” and downloading will start immediately: http://www.sendspace.pl/file/wC5RgbDu/

What’s the sense of that Emma was miming on Helena’s voice?
Everybody knew that is was just lipsynched. It’s a shame that Per takes part in this kind of false and preposterous things. He falls into discredit. But I like his blue guitar.
And he seemed 20 years younger than he actually is. Has he visited a plasticsurgeon? :-)
gyllene_tjej said on November 18, 2008 10:30:
He surely has a bunch of stylist working on his image, that is whatc stardom is all about. I love his looks, so nice his hair got shorter again!

i hate lipsinc “PERformances”, but at least PG is lipsincing his own voice :) poor Emma!
P.S.
I agree, Per looks great!
Jud (moderator) said on November 18, 2008 16:21:
yes, really, who does Per really think he is?
I mean, either Helena should have performed, holding the 1-week-old baby (or leaving him home) or he should have cancelled the performance.

don’t exaggerate, judith. it’s obvious that this was the only option available but it’s obvious too that it came off rather silly :)
all in all i’m very happy to see PG on stage again.
tevensso (moderator) said on November 18, 2008 18:56:
Oh yes, there’s about 35 people in the world that A: realizes it’s not Helena standing there and B: even care about it.
Lantartida said on November 18, 2008 20:14:
You are right, Thomas. Obviously I realize that Chris, Clarence, Jens and Magnus were there and that it’s not Helena standing there ... but who cares!. Well, maybe I am a bit crazy because I was interested in knowing who Emma Christensen is, I “googled” for 5 minutes and posted some links I found to read more about her.
I thought it was OK. What I couldn’t think is that some fans could speak about “Emma as the successor of Marie and Helena” or that could compare Emma to Helena after a playback performance ... It’s not funny. Let’s compare Emma or Helena to every Swedish singer, if you want to. Don’t you think we are getting really silly?
The reality is that ...
... Helena is not a substitute. She has been singing in Gessle’s recordings and gigs since 2003 and she sings in “Party Crasher” too. I know I am not the only one that likes Helena’s voice. I also know some fans don’t like it. BTW, according to her website, Helena and her husband just feel amazingly happy these days. When I read so many silly comments, I prefer to think that Helena is not reading them and just smiling and taking care of her baby boy. People can like or dislike her voice ... and say it, but some comments are very cruel.
... Emma is a promising singer that doesn’t need to be compared to anyone.
... Per is doing what he is supposed to be doing: promoting his new album and it is better to be with a band including a background singer, because it is also silly to listen to backing vocals or to drums if there is no background singer or a drummer there.

I think Helena rocks... :)
Oh look another Silly Really video!

Hey you, how about if you just quit it. This was not Emmas dissision to make. To sing playback I mean. If you love to be on stage and you get the question from PG, who wouldn’t take that chance? Emma is a great singer and a good performer and by all means I think it’s pretty nice of Emma to be a stand in for Helena who just gave birth to a son. I think it’s vera nice of her.
I have a almost one year old daughter and I can promise you that singing or working is probably not the first you come to think about. Is that really so hard to see?
don’t get why all the angry faces goes towards Emma, while doing Per a big favour. If it bothers you so much, why even bother to visit this page? Just shut it instead, and be gratefull that she helped your Idol out!!!
stormen said on November 20, 2008 11:11:
avkb I think you have some mental problems. First who do you think you are that you command to others to stop visiting this page just because they have an opinion and that is not the same as yours.
Secondly, noone said that Emma or Helena is to blame for anything!
The thing that we wrote about is only Per’s and EMI’s fault. That they did a playback instead of singing it live, or do an edit in which there’s no female backing vocal .But it’s just my opinion, if you let me have one...That’s all.
unreal said on November 20, 2008 12:35:
I hope Per never reads this forum. Why can we talk like civilized people?.
I like the picture, I liked the “substitute” girl movements, I don´t care anything about her or Helena. What I t´s important is Per, He looks better than last time I saw him, handsom, and happy!.
I would like him to play live next time, but I don´t know if this will be possible due to the “kind” of instruments involved in this song.
first girl on t... said on November 25, 2008 19:36:
I was downloading Fotbollsgalan half the night yesterday and after watching it I was not able to sleep cos Per looks incredibly good hehe! I wanna know the secret of his youth! Great performance, the song is even better! Thanks for downloading links!!!
tomos85 said on November 16, 2008 20:23:
Who’s she? A friend of Helena?
