German SaadeFamily in Sopot

written by Linda on 27.August 2012

Puuuh...finally back home from Poland. But I have to say, that I miss that wonderful time I had in Sopot, Gdynia and Gdansk.

On Thursday I left my city by bus. 19 hours to Poland. But every minute was worth it. In Berlin I finally met my friend Mel, who came with me to Sopot. On Friday we arrived at about 1pm in Gdynia, from where had to take the train to Sopot.

When we arrived at our appartement we had to realize: "Wow! That's not what we have expected, but ok, it was just for 2 nights." Everything looked so oldschool, bathroom was not the cleanest one and one of the beds collapsed in the 2nd night.

At about 6pm we went to Opera Lesna. Sadly it was raining and afterwards we looked like a drowned cat. The show started at 8pm. We really didn't understand any words. Ok, that's no wonder when you don't speak any Polish words. Basically we were just there to see our big idol Eric Saade. During the show, I received a textmessage of Tomas, Eric's manager, which said, that we could meet Eric after his performance at the backstagedoor. We were so happy, that we could see him again after the backstagemeeting in Malmö in March.

Then he came on stage. Looking great like every time. And his performance was nearly perfect. I realized, that he made some mistakes, but ok, he was quite nervous, cause it was his first appearence on Polish TV and so it was excusable.



His performance ended with a big applause from the audience, and that was our signal to stand up and go to the backstagedoor to meet him. And then he came aswell. My heart was beating like a jungledrum ;) First some Polish fans took some pics with him and gave him some presents. Then he said, he had to go. We were like "WTF?", but his manager told him, that some German fans were also waiting for him. Puuuh! :) I gave him a list with all the names of our fanbase and told him, that these are the names of about 700 fans living in Germany. He was like "WOW! That's awesome! I never knew that I have so much fans there" and showed the list to his manager, who was also fascinated. Afterwards I gave him some sweets: Toffifee, Giotto and Marzipan, cause I knew that he likes everything with nuts :) He was very thankful and posted later 3 pics of all my presents on his Instagram-account. We took some photos and then was the time to say byebye :( But it was so good to see him again.

 
Some minutes later we met 2 of his dancers: Rim and Alex. They were happy to meet us and they took some time to talk with us, to take some pictures and receive some presents. Rim really loved the Skittles we gave here. She's very addicted to them :D Alex was very happy when I told him, that we spreaded his auditionvideo for the Believetour. He was very perplexed, but very thankful that we love his video and showed the video to thousands of other people. They had to leave after a while and we went back to out seats to enjoy the rest of the show. Eric has won 2 awards that night. So proud of him!
On Saturday we did some sightseeing in Sopot and went by boat to Gdansk. Both cities are very beautiful and very recommendable.

Sunday was the last day in Poland. After we have packed our luggage, we went again to the Opera to shoot some pictures and we could arrange to take home 2 festivalposters as a souvenier :) At 11am we went to Gdynia by train, did some shopping and spent some hours at the marina, before we had to leave Poland at 16pm. Again 19 hours by bus, but this time without changing the bus.

Pop Explosion Stockholm - German Fans on Tour

Here is the first co-authors entry of Corinna (19), Sabeth (15), Anne (17) and Fe (18. Thanks to you for getting an impression of your travel and the concert in Stockholm!

“There is a concert of Eric Saade on the 28th of April 2012 in Stockholm…”

“No it is impossible to attend this concert, there is the Abitur!”



27.4.2012: our last school examination

Then the 28th of April 2012, 5 o’clock am: the alarm clock rings with “Tage wie diese” by “Tote Hosen”. One hour later: going to Frankfurt Airport flying to Stockholm!

Hej! Here are Sabeth, Anne, Fe and Corinna. We are from the Saarland in the South West of Germany and now we want to tell you about our crazy journey to Sweden, we made just for HIM.

The first sign of Stockholm we had seen from the plane was Globen-arena.

And now: Subway stop “Globen”. Then some more steps.... and there it was: our destination!!

By going in the arena we have been impressed by the stage and the atmosphere but also surprised: almost little kinder garden girls with their parents attended the concert! We had thought there were only teenager girls in our age and we are 15, 17, 18 and 19 years old. But we didn’t care anymore because ERIC entered the stage as a big shadow and our personal party after the “Abitur” could begin!!
 

By waving our German flags we got Eric’s attention. He seemed to be very impressed to see fans from that far away, who travelled miles for him to see his smile. To us and the other foreign fans he even said “Thank you” in English!

As well show and dancing was fantastic, especially when he sang “Sky falls down” or when ERIC was sitting on the piano for “Break of dawn”.

Although Eric announced it in Swedish we understood that he was going to perform an unexpected song with Tone Damli: “Imagine”, amazing.
 

To end his show and to make us definitively crazy, he took a shower... J

Because we don’t want to forget this night, we are glad that it was said there will be a DVD of the concert. Hopefully they realize it really!!

Tired and deeply happy we decided that our efforts to travel to Sweden were worth it:


To have YOU in our lives

is such a gift!! <3

Pop Explosion

You had no opportunity to go to one of the great Pop Explosion concerts or just want to remember back to them, if you where there? No problem! A fan made a video of the whole concert in Västerås! Have fun with it!

Eric Saade wants to offer the perfect popact


Last year was a very successful year and 2012 begins with a big tour in Sweden, Växjö News has met Eric Saade in Teleborgshallen, where he is on stage on April 11, and talked about Melodifestivalen and his indoortour Pop Explosion.

Last year was the victory at Melodifestivalen, two released albums and a third place in the Eurovision Song Contest. Additionally he sold the most records in total of all Swedish artists. It's easy to say that 2011 was a successful year for the artist from Skåne.

-That was wonderful, he says.

The explanation for this amazing year is of course the impact and the victory in Melodifestivalen, but Eric Saade also believes that his fighting spirit and the fact that he always enters wholeheartedly in what he does plays a major role.

- I always make a perfect show. I dance and sing at the same time and there are not many people in Sweden who do. People like it simply, he says and continues:
 
- Just after Melodifestivalen, I feel I have developed very much, both in terms of singing, dancing wise but also as a person. So 2011 is a year which has meant a lot to me purely developmentally.

Now, however, it is out of schlager. It's great to have taken the next step and started to build something new, self-composed music, he says.

- I finished Melodifestivalen. It was a great way to start your career on, but I've already moved on and have bigger goals. Melodifestivalen is never your own, it's someone else's program you will visit.

He looked up, however, on the first round in Växjö and Loreen, who went straight to the final, impressed him.

- It's the best number I've ever seen in a Swedish Melodifestival of all time. I can not see anyone else go to Eurovision.

When pop tour rolls on investing last year's winner on their own tour. In spring he will visit 15 arenas across Sweden and now he travels around to some of them to check out what's up.

Teleborgshallen is very small, but after a look inside the arena believes Eric Saade it will be a good concert on April 11.

- I have high expectations of this audience. It's probably the smallest stage, but I like that because then it will be very intimate. I think it's gonna be a hell of a move in here.

After two festival tours, it was time to try something new. Eric Saade seems satisfied that it became an arena tour. He says that the best thing about this spring's tour is the freedom to decide. He has himself designed the scene.

- For the first time I can adapt depending on myself. Everything will be customized for me to make the perfect popact.

Pop Explosion is called the tour and he describes it as a bold popact dance number after dance number, with a good band and a fat light show. The actual shape of the concert, he has invented himself.

It's the audience which determines if there is any show or not. On stage will in fact exist decibel meters, and to get up on stage Saade wants the audience to scream so much so decibel meters reaches red.

- Decibel Meters will come up when an act is over. Then it's up to the audience to let so much so that it goes up to red. Then it will pop out of hell and the next act begins, he says and continues:

- I like when you involve the audience during this show, they will be highly involved. They decide if I'm standing on stage or not.

Saade likes what he sees



After the success in the Eurovision Song Contest aims Eric Saade a career abroad. But first he wants to realize the great dream. Jnytt met Eric Saade when he visited Jönköping today to familiarize himself with arena for the indoor tour.

- It's probably the biggest decision I've taken in my life. It feels so far away in some way when Sweden is such a small country. Before, I only festival toured, but this comes from the heart. Here I can do exactly what I want and that you can never do on a festival tour, says Eric Saade on Wednesday when he became familiar with the Concert Hall at Elmia before the big show in April.
In March, he initiates his Pop Explosion Concert at home in Helsingborg. On April 27 he will come to Jönköping.

Always been stubborn

He has previously visited the A6 but this is different.
- Everything will be controlled by the audience. They decide when I go on stage, it gonna blow and I hope they're in just a good mood as I will be, he says with enthusiasm before the visit in the spring.
This is where Eric Saade will be himself.
Dance Steps, the show, the music - the fans.

- I think I have always been allowed to decide, kind of I always have been - stubborn. Even when I was signed at the age of 15, I have known what I want to do, both in dance and in music. It is only in Melodifestivalen my big breakthrough came for the wider audience, he says.


How would you say that Eurovision has helped you?

- At the beginning of my career it gave me everything, but I had never been presented to the general public. I had been able to participate in Idol as well, but it never spoke to me.

Remember back to Eurovision
Why not?

- I do not like cover songs, which seemed to direct, he laughs. This is surely a good breeding ground for talented people, but it's all about what you do after the program.

When he comes to Jonkoping, it has been almost exactly a year ago, the pop star finished third in the Eurovision Song Contest in Düsseldorf with "Popular".
As the song's namesake - he is popular, not least his hit singles and albums Vol.2 Saade testify. The album went straight to the top of music charts.

Can you yourself sit down and reflect on how quickly everything has gone, you turn 22 this fall?

- Sometimes one forgets that. I found myself a while ago when I watched race in Växjö to "shit, this won I '. Sometimes you have to stop in time to pinch yourself in the arm. It's not often you can take the time for yourself when tours are at the same time with writing new music.
Eric Saade says his drive comes from the audience.

"I love my fans"

Making an indoor tour, feeling close to the fans and yourself to govern the way he wants it is a rare luxury, he explains.
- The fans mean everything! I love my fans. After the Eurovision Song Contest, it has become, as I said, very different. All 40-plus is actually craziest of them all, Eric laughs and continues:
- They see me safely as a lamb. Young people are the most grateful audience. I like when they sound a lot and that's what I appreciate most. They are like me. I want a show, dancing and entertainment.

How does daily life look like in the future with a view to the tour?

- I repeat all the time with my live band and dancers. Everything is really clicking and that requires exercise. To dance and sing simultaneously is difficult, I do not think people understand how much is required of one. I run awful lot to keep up my fitness.

Rest waits afterwards

- Imagine yourself running on a treadmill and sing simultaneously, people wondering why I was panting so much when I sing, he laughs.


What lies ahead of you, after the tour?

- After the tour, it is abroad that apply. It is unfortunately a break in Sweden, I feel I need a break here at home. I have not met everyone else's desire to go abroad. I have a schedule that is waiting for me and when I get home I do not know. But it will at least be when I have new music start all over again, said Eric Saade, which now realizes his dream.
