Review: Unni and Henning brought forth tears at Wenche – Dagbladet.no

TV:

Wenche Myhre (68), more commonly referred to as Norway’s first pop star, was guest of honor at the second program in this year’s “Every time we meet” on TV 2. She does not write songs herself, so here was six interpretations of songs Wenche has sung through an unusually long career. This mean Dagbladet about interpretations:

Ravi: “Let me be young” (Arne Bendiksen)
This is not an interpretation, but one radbrekking of a song Wenche recorded when she was 17 years, and who finished third in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1964. It is indeed a part of this tv concept that songs can be turned on and renewed, but Ravi’s version lacks quite the youthfulness and simplicity that characterize the original. It is very much “Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah,” to put it that way, and it becomes alien and remote. Ravi has changed the text beyond recognition and in a more humorous direction, and also placed titlebar from Einar Roses humor variant, “Let me be heavy.” I prefer the latter version.

Eva Weel Skram: “Is hat ein bright rotes rubber boot” (Bobby Schmidt & amp; Hans Brudke)
Whether it’s luck or good direction: Wenche talking about this song, and boom, you juts Eva up and just take it. In Norwegian! She hit back after the first application, where she was not his way. Here she made a Norwegian version of a German hit (yes, it was said then Wenche was young), and renamed it “He has a bright pink rubber dinghy.” Despite the fact that she usually sings in English, she is much more comfortable here than the last. The style is even more rocking than she is accustomed to, with tough guitar at the bottom of particularly Truls whale, while the song ends in a kind of German oompah style. Are we at the Oktoberfest in January? Eva slipped more loose now and is really on the right path.

Unni Wilhelmsen “Farmors house” (Arne Schulze / Jan Eggum)
Here is what a lot of emotion! This is not among Wenches most famous, and she says herself that she has never sung it at concerts. It is simply too sore and means too much for her. Unni has taken down tempo and complete and deliver it as a simple, country inspired display – without big gestures, dimmed and with great guitar playing. This is Unnis special exercise and she outshines Wenche. She hit a nerve, take out the best in song, brings vulnerability and is responsible for this year’s first real cry seance.

Jørn Hoel, “66 years” (Udo Jürgens / Wolfgang Hofer / Ole Paus )
Was there some flashover here, Jorn? You seem almost a little angry, and it’s not the meaning? Jørn doing a rocking twist on one of Wenches most popular songs, and it works pretty bad. It gets most hue and cry, and I’m still waiting for that Jorn will display their best side: The first lover who loves snow etc. It pumped in with a lot of guitar nuances of song gets lost, it lacks dynamism and recitals are just fussy. But Wenche seem to like it, then.

Henning Kvitnes: “Maybe God förlåter” (Angel Galetto and Miguel Angel Valenzuela / Hans Gilbert Marklund)
So timely to take this, after Wenches stories about the trials of life. It is also not among her most famous. Also this seems to mean a lot to Wenche, who have known this to be dragged between artistic career and motherhood. It feels very close, and the simple, musical entourage, where Marie Klåpbakken fiddle is important, make sure the soreness in the good text comes up. Henning overcomes a slightly småstiv start and conveys it with much warmth. “Now hit me,” says one touched Wenche. Yet another example of how the simple can be the best.

Admiral P: “We live” (Salvatore Cutugno / Pierre Delanoe & amp; Michel Sarduo / Jan Eggum)
> Henning brought forth tears at Wenche, and then she tells us about the cancer diagnosis. “We live” means a therefore a very fitting conclusion. Admiral P call consistently Wenche “queen,” and he has chosen a song that is among her most played – despite the fact that it was originally a b-side on a single! The admiral has so far remained work involving his musical universe, and it is perhaps a little too safe and convenient. Moreover, it is quite strange to hear this as a partylåt in rap / reggae format. It takes some of the sting out of it, but it must be admitted that the dress it in a disarming way. Meanwhile, the song sounds like a celebration of a wonderful host who tonight has given of himself to a six-star rating. For a lady!

Next Saturday there Henning Kvitnes who is guest of honor.
