Re: AM Foreign World Cup: Round 1 - Northern Europe (Part 2)

Maybe I was a bit harsh with my comments on those songs Henrik, but I just listened to the two again, and the former still strikes me as very big band croonery. And the latter I'm finding impossible not to constantly compare to Sunny Afternoon.

That's fine, Bill. There are similarities between "Vara vänner" and "Sunny Afternoon". Usually Hellman is compared to Elvis Costello though.

I decided to vote for Mari Boine too, but it didn't matter anymore as it was already 7-5. The rest of the results, in the closest overall week I believe we've had so far:

Bracket 4.1.5
Pekka Streng & Tasavallan Presidentti - Sisältäni portin löysin - 5
Mari Boine - Diamántta Spáillit - 8

Bracket 4.1.6
Atalyja - Gervele - 8
Tenhi - Kuoppa - 5

Bracket 4.1.7
Clas-Göran Hederström - Det börjar verka kärlek, banne mej - 4
Jakob Hellman - Vara vänner - 6

Bracket 4.1.8
Bob Hund - Düsseldorf - 7
Ólöf Arnalds - Innundir Skinni - 6
