Thanks for the links, though I can't read Swedish.

Though does it say that Andreas's income was 599700 kronor in 2007?

Yes, 600 000 kronor, that will do like 90 000 € no? It's a lot but still, I would have bet he earned much more :o What do you think?
Max must get at least twice as much as Bagge and Andreas, if not more...

600 000 SEK is about 64 000 EUR. You're correct in assuming he makes way more than that per year.

What he earns from writing and producing goes into his company or companies.

600 000 SEK is what he withdrew from his company or companies in Sweden that year for living expenses.

Oh ok, yes it's more relevant that way!
i'm shocked at seeing how much value the euro has taken compared to the swede kronor since i went there in 2004... still had my old change rate..  :D

An article in today's Expressen about Anders's, Andreas's and Laila's companies. Apparently their companies are not that sound and well-run...

The articled translated to English using Google Translate:

In today's episode of Idol there was a mini-feature on Andreas Carlsson.

He talked about the best way of making a hit song. Don't hold back or play it safe, was his opinion. Use your wackiest ideas, because wackiness is what people remember. It's better for people to either love or hate your song than to leave them indifferent.

He also revealed that the the opening guitar figure of "I Want it That Way" - one of the most memorable parts of the song, according to Andreas - was the very last thing they came up with when doing the overdubs. Sometimes the best ideas come in the very end, was his point.

So how is Andrea as a judge? Tough?

Post by: Rebecca on September 11, 2008, 01:25:04 PM
That's interesting what Andreas said about the guitar in I Want It That Way.

I also love the translation of that article about Andreas and Anders companies, it reads quite funny! but I can understand what they're trying to say. Very interesting.

Andreas is definately the tough one. Not that he has had any temper fits or anything, but he is the one who tells the performers that they suck straight up. Anders Bagge is the funny and nice one. Laila is just bland.

Andreas has been most funny when crappy contestants have sung Andreas's own songs. An example:

"If I had given that song ("I want it that way") to you instead of the Backstreet Boys my life would be a whole lot different."

The contestant first thought it was meant as a compliment!  :D

My favourite judge is Anders. He is hilarious, seriously, his second profession could be comedian. Can't wait until the live shows start.

Post by: Rebecca on September 12, 2008, 11:35:06 PM
it sounds so good, I'm so jealous and upset that I can't understand Swedish.

interesting that Andreas is the tough one but good that he is, sometimes they just need to be told.

I'm glad Anders is so funny.

Post by: Tiiger on September 12, 2008, 11:46:58 PM
The three of them compliment each other so well. You can tell they are really good friends.

This is definitely one of the best contestants so far:

Funny you like that Larger Than Life-video. Both Anders and Laila thought it sucked.  :D
Yazmina had to leave btw, she's a good ballad singer, but too anonymous while singing uptempo.
Title: Re: Andreas Carlsson - judge on Swedish Idol 2008

I thought they were quite good

What did Andreas think of "Born To Make You Happy"?
Title: Re: Andreas Carlsson - judge on Swedish Idol 2008

Yes I'm curious too, what did he say? I downloaded the whole show but I couldn't get a damn word of what he said :(
I thought she was really good at singing Born to make you happy. larger than life was a bit messy though, lol.

"When me and Kristian Lundin wrote this song some years ago, it was meant to be a feel-good song. This is a bit banal, I feel like the mathador in Ferdinand who says 'Do something, gore me.' This is how we feel about this, we want to be shooked."

Earlier in the audition-shows he said "I can't believe I got away with these lyrics."  :D
