Do we know anything about his private life? Where does he get all the inspiration for these songs.

Another list:

WHAT a list of songs, Katy!

Hehe.:-) These are some of my fave ESC-related songs ever! Love them all! And many more of him - he's a genius!

I really need some time for my top 10. I don't even know if this list is complete.

 

[Mats]

Katy, will you not be moving to Denmark now that Sweden has won?

 

[Zu]

I'm feeling far too tired and grim to throw together a Top 10, but LE G:SON is fucking fabulous so here's THREE

1. Euphoria - SNOW
2. Rocket Ride - CLAPPING GAYS
3. Evighet - FLAGS

 

[Penelope]

Most of the best have been covered but Lili och Susie - Show Me Heaven is an AMYL SCHLAGER MASTERPIECE

 

[D5K]

Le Freak - 25 Hours A Day,

HE WROTE THIS?!!! I love him even more.

GOD Langt Bortom Tid Och Rum is such a tune - paved way for Evighet, Hero and Kalla Nätter in terms of updated MF-pop-sound.

This is by G:son, song for Titanix.

Very good Schlager album.

Very Eurovisionish songs, especially #12.

 

[Zu]

With my G:SON TOP TEN (finally) coming up, ask yourself: is there anything in the world more fabulous than this?



NO THERE IS NOT

GALORE!

Why, why did we LOSE IT ALL?

SONGWRITER OF THE MILLENNIUM.

 

[VoR]

I'm still bitter that this fabulously demented precursor to Quedate Conmigo was beaten to the punch by that dreadful Spanish Mika.

SING IT CORAL!

EDIT: That live version is actually QUITE ROPEY

 

[Zu]

SONGWRITER OF THE MILLENNIUM

Sans DOUTE !

 

[VoR]

This really is a performance that GIVES and GIVES

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/6MK9Aikhlew?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

*half-arsed finger-wiggle as the key change kicks in*

 

[Penelope]

Or THIS!

Why, why did we LOSE IT ALL?
Why did we let it SLIP AWAY?
It's all so sad, I know we HAD IT ALL

UTTERLY FUCKING CORKING

NOTHING beats the glorious combination of that key change SLAMMING IN with the force of a lorry hitting a small child whilst OLD DITTE von Halliwell's studio alter ego on BVs WAILS THE GLORY NOTE like her WAGES DEPENDED ON IT

And they DID! (AND SHE DIDN'T GET THEM)

 

[Zu]

Give us yer TEN PEN

As well as being undisputed Swedish king of the HAIR FLICK HIGH KICK, Herr G:Son doesn't half have quite the line in thoroughly overwrought ballads. I didn't take much notice of this first time round but my goodness it really is BLOW YER CLUNGE OFF AMAZING. The VERY HEIGHTS at 02:17!

 

[Penelope]

Oh G'WON then I'll GIVE YOU MY TEN, HEN

Actually I might have to make it TWENTY

01 Lili och Susie - Show Me Heaven (it says a lot that the only mass dense enough to stop this BEHEMOTH of a track was SARAH DAWN FINER)
02 Swedish House Wives - On Top of the World (Safura Butcher Discotits Remix)
03 Loreen - Euphoria
04 Le Freak - 25 Hours A Day
05 Roger Pontare - Silverland (like getting fisted in a MYSTICAL BEAR BAR )
06 Sanna Nielsen - Hela världen för mig (becoming a lesbian schlager televangelist was an inspired early career move)
07 Reidun Sæther - High On Love (one of the GREATEST KEY CHANGES OF ALL TIME)
08 Josef Johansen - Hela natten
09 Man Meadow - Viva la musica
10 Sanna Nielsen - I'm In Love

11 Kikki Danielsson - Idag och imorgon
12 Martin Rolinski - In and Out of Love (Safura Butcher Discotits Remix)
13 Guri Schanke - Ven a bailar conmigo (I AM NOT ASHAMED)
14 Pastora Soler - Quédate conmigo
15 Chanée & N'evergreen - In A Moment Like This
16 Jessica Folcker - When Love's Coming Back Again
17 Tanja Dexters - Addicted To You (who could RESIST a SUMPTUOUS SLICE OF SLUTCHOPS TANJ? )
18 Kayo - Innan natten är över (*lays down and gets up again for peak of song*)
19 J.E.M. - Love Trigger (generic as arseholes but there's nothing quite like a good SHAKE OF THE BREASTS to the postchorus)
20 Brequette - Más

 

[VoR]

Carola not even in your top 20? I mean I'm a bit ambivalent towards the old lunatic but even so!

 

[Penelope]

Oh! That was a genuine oversight. Slot the old bitch in FOURTH

 

[Zu]

05 Roger Pontare - Silverland (like getting fisted in a MYSTICAL BEAR BAR )

How have I somehow NEVER HEARD OR WATCHED THIS UNTIL NOW?

Solen kastar vassa spjut, väntar på DAGENS SLUT

 

[Zu]

Oh my VERY LORD at that 'High On Love' key change!

I think we can safely conclude that LA BELLE LOPÉ is our resident G:SONMEISTER

 

[Zu]

I THINK WE SHOULD



I can see why the public might not have warmed to her as she seems a bit angry about being tubby and it looks like her head's too big at the back. NEVERTHELESS

 

[Penelope]

The ad libs truly EVISCERATE ME to PUDDLE AND A WIG levels

 

[Zu]

The ad libs truly EVISCERATE ME to PUDDLE AND A WIG levels

GOD YES. 02:35 is SENSATIONAL

Although why she felt the need to do that DEFEATED FLOP OF THE ARM before the key change is QUITE beyond me!

 

[Zu]

OOO WO OOO WO OOO

 

[Diddy]

GOD YES. 02:35 is SENSATIONAL

Although why she felt the need to do that DEFEATED FLOP OF THE ARM before the key change is QUITE beyond me!

I was more distracted by her pulling the wedgie out of her crack when she turns around for the key change.
