Sparky Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 My wife and I are trying to remember a European female pop singer, Scandinavian, I think, who had a couple of semi-hits in the 90's. She never made it really big in the US. In fact, her music isn't even on iTunes. She was blond, not especially beautiful. She sang with a slight accent. The video for one tune was shot in an airport, dark colors, maybe even black and white.Her name may have started with an "N".Not much to go one, I know.Any suggestions? BTW, it's not Roxette, Robyn, Bjork, Sinead O'Connor.
Sparky Posted March 11, 2013 Author Posted March 11, 2013 ^^^^ Thanks for trying, but that's not her. The gal I'm thinking of was white (like pale white), with blond hair, and more alternative/pop, less R&B/pop.
Sparky Posted March 12, 2013 Author Posted March 12, 2013 Are you thinking of Meja from Sweden?Good try, but not her. Thanks!
Feynman Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 OK, I was sure I had it there. It's got to be this one then.
velorush Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Couple of possibilities in this one:http://youtu.be/ULmC8JTTVy0
Sparky Posted March 12, 2013 Author Posted March 12, 2013 Feynman, I think you're just using this as an excuse to post videos of hotties from days past. For that, I salute you sir. However, it's not Samantha Fox.Nope on Celine Dion and Anastasia, and that video is just odd. The AC/DC and Celine Dion mix just causes me too much cognitive dissonance.
Sparky Posted March 12, 2013 Author Posted March 12, 2013 Finally found it. Underwhelming for most, I'm sure, but my wife and I like a few of her tunes but we could not find where to buy them. Looks like she's now on iTunes after all. Thanks to all. Wow. there are two videos for this song. The other version, the singer is blonde and it's shot in an airport or some other terminal.
Sparky Posted March 12, 2013 Author Posted March 12, 2013 That was going to be my next guess.She's obscure, for sure. I'd never heard of Lene Marlin until one of her tunes came up on a pandora station years ago.
Disturber Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Ebba Foresberg?Ebba is the best female singer we have. I left her out in the "Female Singers" thread, totally forgot about her. She's a great songwriter too. I actually know her sister.

You said she wasn't specially beautiful, but I do find her specially beautiful:
Armitage Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Swedish Marie Fredriksson of Roxette?<br /><br />Their biggest hit I can think of was "The Look"
Disturber Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Swedish Marie Fredriksson of Roxette?<br /><br />Their biggest hit I can think of was "The Look"I think It must have been love is even bigger. It's got like a zillion radio airplays in the US alone since it was first released.
Armitage Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 I guess... just trying to think of who Sparky is looking for.
MCChris Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 He nixed Roxette in the very first post, and he's already figured it out.
Never2Late Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 I need to surf youtube more often - never heard of half of these names....
