Christer Björkman part II

How could a Swedish Eurovision representative with one of the worst results ever for the country get to be in charge for the entire show for two decades?How did his job affect his friends and family, not least his husband/tuft-of-grass Martin Kagemark, who himself is a talented singer who had to take a step back due to Christer's position? We get to hear a couple of Martin's submitted songs. Is Christer a genius and/or a dictator? We let him answer that question himself.How scared was Eric Saade of German glass shards? How close was Loreen to being disqualified? How has he handled all the criticism? What are his biggest regrets, like any of the songs that were rejected from Melodifestivalen and then went on to be successful for other countries? What can be achieved in 69 panicky days in the Ukraine and when will we see the first American Song Contest?This is part two of two, where we hear about Christer's work behind the camera.Legend: Christer BjörkmanSong: Imorgon är en annan dag (Sweden 1992)Host: Emil LöfströmSidekick: Marcus BjörkanderContact: emil@schlagervannerna.seInstagram Facebookhttp//www.eurovisionlegends.se Hosted on Acast.
