User Reviews

Lots of family fun, if you're a moron

This show is the epitome of what is wrong with Swedish pop culture. Artists like Darin, Idol-Sebastian, Carola, Lena PH, need I go on, gather on a stage in Skansen, Stockholm, where Lasse Berghagen (now replaced by Anders Lundin, who seems convinced that "Expedition Robinson" wasn't enough torture) leads the audience of lowlifes in a heartwarming chorus of "Stockholm i mitt hjärta" (Stockholm in my heart) complete with lyrics at the bottom of the TV screen, just in case a viewer would want to join in !!

It's really unbelievable that anyone in their right mind would watch this. I mean, to actually be there I guess could be fun if you could put up with the completely awful artists, but to actually sit in front of the TV screen just to see some flavour-of-the-week teen pop idol wail across the stage, while hormone-raging tweens scream and wet their pants... it just doesn't appeal to me.

I'll leave this show to the sad, sad people who enjoy it. Maybe someday your life will stop sucking so hard you get your kicks watching the worst Swedish show in history.
