Do you remember... The Rhapsody in Rock Tour?

In the Summer of 2000, Carola went on tour with Robert Wells' "Rhapsody In Rock". In the show Carola sang an ABBA medley, "Time to Say Goodbye" in a duet with Tito Beltran, and this wonderful rendition of "All By Myself".

This is one of my favorite Carola live moments. Her voice is fantastic! What is your favorite?

Carola on Twitter?



Is Carola using Twitter? Or is someone just pretending to be her? I am not sure, but this is the page of the person calling herself CarolaHaggkvist on Twitter. She presents herself as "Human Being. Mother. Artist."

Do you remember...Hylands Hörna?

Carola returned to the TV-show "Hylands Hörna" in April 1983 after winning the Swedish Song Contest that year. It was on the same show, and with the same song (Elvis Presley's "If I Can Dream") she performed two years earlier when record label executive Bert Karlsson called the TV-show to sign the then only 14 year old girl.

Do you remember this performance? Any thoughts about it? As always, feel free to comment.

Carola & Kicken on Hammerfall concert

Rumored couple Carola and Kicken attended a concert with Swedish metal band Hammerfall in Stockholm on Sunday. This is not exactly the kind of music we associate with Carola, but Kicken comments to Swedish newspaper Expressen:

You can learn a lot from how hardrockers put on a show even if you are not that kind of performer yourself. They have tons of energy on stage.
(Translation by Carola International)

This will of course further spread the rumors that Carola and Kicken are dating.
