Andreas Johnson - Glorious

[VoR]

I've dug this out for the first time in ages tonight and it's even better than I remembered! Ace end of 90's pop classic.

Why can't he do more songs like this and less inane overfamiliar drivel?

 

[Kate]

god I loved this. the album was SHIT though

 

[Sheena]

It's FABULOUS

His Greatest Hits is worth a spin TOO

 

[Sild]

EXCELLENT

 

[Man in a Hamster Wheel]

Fab indeed, even though it's a bit tainted by overplay. Our biggest commercial radio station played it to death again last year in an experiment where they would supposedly put a random old song back into A-rotation every month. As far as I know, no further songs followed...

 

[David]

Classic my arse.

 

[loomer]

Not quite "glorious", but decent enough.

 

[Mikey]

The only song I know of with that title that lives up to it, is the one by Captain. Imbruglia, my arse!

Quite like this. Went top5 in 2000, which was kinda surprising, didnt think it would be the type of song that would do well back then

I always want to sing "fabulous" instead of "glorious".

I'm reliving for this Why couldn't he have chopped out that little aimless bit from 2 minutes onwards and saved us from The Olsen Brothers to make it two in a row for Sweden?

I mean, I like Fly On The Wings Of Love, but this REALLY DOES feel like the sort of thing that would've really given the contest a kick up the arse during the early part of the decade had it gone down as a classic winner - and it's far better than anything he's done since (though I do have a soft spot for his first two MF entries).

 

[Ruddy Duck]

Lived for this when it came out and still think it's great now. I know absolutely nothing about him though; is any of his other stuff worth checking out?

 

[VoR]

He was very popular in Sweden up until a couple of years ago. I'm really not a fan beyond Glorious, but these three were big hits.

Thanks ...but if those three are any thing to go by, I think I'll just pretend Glorious was the only song he ever made!

 

[ameraal]

on a semi-related note i had an espen lind flashback today and got lucky for you which i thought was great back in the day
i didn't even make it the whole way through

this is still nice though complete overkill

A wise move. He turned into a weird serial Britpop plagiarist. I really hate his voice on pretty much everything bar Glorious too. It's like nails down a chalkboard for me.

 

[Penelope]

I do LOVE Sing For Me and A Little Bit of Love but he's been EXECRABLE on everything else he's entered MF with. Him getting shunted to AC was one of the BIGGER highlights of the 2012 MF season.

 

[Man in a Hamster Wheel]

A wise move. He turned into a weird serial Britpop plagiarist.

Have Brett Anderson et al still not called their lawyers in the case "Lovelight" vs. "Beautiful Ones"? But then they did let the almost as similar Morrissey's "First of the Gang to Die" slip...

 

[Kala]

He's so fucking HAGGARD and he reminds me of a METH ADDICT. Carola looked like a goddess next to him in 2008. He needs to stay the fuck away from MF. Hopefully after his FLOP this year he wot be back...

 

[Inner Smile]

Oh it takes you back Absolute diamond

 

[Inner Smile]

Isn't this just the fucking ONE!
