"Play" Concert Confusion
This is just to clear up any confusion! Today I signed into Facebook and had a notification that Play posted a concert near me (in New York, New York).
If any of you guys also got this notification on Facebook or iLike, it of course is not the Swedish Play. I looked up this other Play on AmieStreet.com, and I'm pretty sure that this is the Play they are talking about.

Contestant on Idol concerned..
There is an article out about Alice, one of the Swedish Idol finalists, who is concerned that the judges have already found their superstar - Janet Leon.
Thanks to Ashley for e-mailing this to me and to FixYou on the Playful-Play boards for the find and English translation of part of the article.
If you would like to read the whole article please click the photo above!
English translation by FixYou:
"Tonight we'll know who will be in the finale of Idol 2008. But the jury has already found their Swedish superstar - 18 year old Janet Leon who's not even in the contest. Alice is now concerned that the jury is trying to get her out of the way of their own star."
'I know that they (the jury) doesn't want me to sing Pop and RnB songs. That's my style but that style is also Janet's so of course, they don't want me and Janet to have the same style,' says Alice."
And Laila says:
"That's the most stupid thing I have ever heard. It's a shame that she believes in rumours she hears. But of course, she is still young."

New Photo of Rosanna & Swedish Idol
Here is a picture of Rosanna that was found by Erika, owner of the Playful-Play boards! Thank you to Ashley from Classique for e-mailing it to me!
Also, how many of you guys have been watching or keeping up to date with Swedish Idol? I believe there are only 3 contestants left now! Of course we can't watch it here in the states, so I check the web site to see what's going on.
I still think it was so great that Laila was a (quite big) part of this! :)

Fanny Hamlin on MQ
Faye is featured in yet another MQ commercial, and her biography can be found on their website. Click here to check it out!
Here is somewhat of an English translation of the article.
Fanny Hamlin
"I want to give my family good health so that they’ll always be healthy and stay close to me”
The singer Fanny Hamlin from Enskede, Stockholm, is something of an musical wonderchild. Only twenty years old and she’s already got a career behind her as an international teen star with the group Play, who were signed to the American Columbia Records, not to mention the legendary Tommy Mottola as manager. She got tired of her life as an idol in the US and moved back to Sweden to complete her interrupted gymnasium education (secondary education). As a side job, she’s also worked as a model.Presently, Fanny has put aside the idol career and is currently working with fashion in Whyred (a brand).
“At the moment, I’m just singing for fun with my friends, but I do intend to revive my idol career someday, and the goal is to be able to live on it, of course."
Fanny has been “extremely interested in fashion.” Lately, she’s been adjusted with a different attitude to fashion, which has also become her occupation.
“You get affected by the styles and it becomes different as you grow more familiar with it, even if I don’t follow the new trends obsessively. Getting snowbound (getting deeper) by what you’re doing with can easily happen as well, but I’ve always liked Whyred. Otherwise I like to doll myself up. I don’t own any jeans as I like to walk around in skirts and dresses – and chino pants. Folded chinos are my thing at the moment. It’s sort of gives the preppy look that I like that I’ll continue with for a while.”
A huge thank you to TayTay for e-mailing me the information and the translation, and to Mae for the updated English translation and link!

Some news about Janet's album..
Ashley, the owner of Classique (a fansite for Janet), has received some news from Janet herself about her upcoming album!
Hey Ashley!
It's so hard to say stuff, with Laila and everyone being the Idol jury. They've got so much press on them all the time. What i can say is that there is going to be ALOT when everything finally comes out. We got enough songs for 3 albums (And they're all good:O) But we've kept pushing and pushing it, to get more hits. We're working up a storm that's gonna blow people away. (Don't mean to sound so kocky (or is it spelled cocky? it just feels like it's referring to something else than what i mean haha) I am soso happy that you guys are still around. I'm actually amazed by your incredible patience, since I know how easy it is to lose interest while waiting for things. So thank you for sticking with me!!! I love you all! You're not gonna be disappointed.
Happy Holidays to you too! It's snowing outside my window, it's so beautiful

"Janet Leon i studion med Wyclef Jean"
There is an article about Janet on the web site, hotgossip.se. I don't know what the article says since it's in Swedish, but it was posted on October 23rd of this year, so I figured it's pretty recent! If anyone would care to translate this, please e-mail me or leave a comment on this post! The English translation of the article is below!
Click the photo below to go to the article.
*Emily was nice enough to translate the article to English for us!
Thank you so much!
"Janet Leon was formerly with the Swedish girl group Play, which was produced by Laila Bagge. Laila is familiar in this year’s Idol jury.
Now Laila along with Anders Bagge and Andreas Carlsson have formed a new company in which Janet is a solo artist, states Metro (name of company).
Many say she is projected to become another great female international mega star and online, there are clips showing Andreas Carlsson, together with Janet, while she works together with Black Eyed Peas producers and sings acapella with mega star Wycelf Jean.
According to Metro, they do not want any of the Idol-Jury to talk about Janet yet, so to avoid losing focus on this year’s participants in Idol."

Swedish Idol Video Clips
From what I understand, Swedish Idol will premire this month on TV4 (maybe it already has?) - as I've said, it's hard to understand since I don't understand Swedish! lol. If someone wants to help out with what's on the site that is in Swedish, you can leave a comment on this post or e-mail me.
But if you go to http://www.expressen.se/noje/idol, you will be able to view videos of Laila, Anders and Andreas and parts of Swedish Idol. The direct link to the videos is: http://www.expressen.se/webb-tv/index.html?serialid=11598.
I just finished watching a few clips, and they are really funny - they obviously talk in Swedish but the auditioners sing in English! haha. :)
Don't forget to check tv4.se/idol for all things Swedish Idol.

Rosanna also has a few tour dates up on her Myspace, so check those out. I think they're all in Sweden, though. :(

Play Mania has been archived!
Lately I have been receiving e-mails and messages about the old Play-Mania.com. There is a site called archive.org, where you can actually take a look at Play-Mania from it's beginning all the way up until last summer.
Though not all of the pages work the right way, a lot of information and pictures have been archived by this amazing "Way Back Machine." You can choose different years/months/days to look at.
Play Mania.. way back!
*I'm going to admit right here, some of my updates from the beginning are pretty embarassing. Forgive me, I was only 12 years old... :)

Remember When?
Five years ago today, Play's sophomore album, Replay, was released. The girls also performed on Live! with Regis and Kelly, and it was also the last time I saw Play perform live with Faye here in New York. Can you believe it's been so long? I can't!
If you want to, share your thoughts on Replay as a comment. It was such a great album! Sometimes it's nice to think back! What's your favorite song? Music video? Share! :)

Tricks Single - Kocky & Rosanna
I was on iTunes and found that Kocky and Rosanna actually released a single just for the song Tricks in October 2007. The Tricks single comes with three versions of the song: Tricks (Radio Edit), Tricks (Kocky & Trash Remix), and Tricks (Krames Club Remix).
Check it out on iTunes by clicking the image below! I absolutely love the remixes, especially the Kocky & Trash Remix! Much different than the original song!

PLAY on Disney Cruise Ship!
On the Disney Cruise Ship in 2007, there was a performance of Hercules the Musical and they danced to a remix of Play's I Must Not Chase the Boys! The song starts at about 4:10 and goes until the end of the video. If you don't want to watch the whole video, just drag the bar until it's around that time.

TV4's Swedish Idol!
Photo Property of TV4
I was just searching the web and came across a site with videos from Swedish Idol, the Swedish version of American Idol, where Laila Bagge is one of the judges. Click the photo above to check out a video where the man speaks to Laila, Anders Bagge, and Andreas Carlsson! It would be so much easier if we could understand Swedish! ;)

Stadium Status Blog 2 - Oh! by Kocky
Kocky had posted this blog back in April, but he mentions Rosanna in it!! Here is the part of his blog that mentions her:
"Me and Rosanna wrote the song melody and lyrics in her ridiculously hot and humid appartment. At the time the both of us was very into Fergies "Glamorous", I (discovering the song a bit late I have to admit) loved the Polow the Don-produced original while Rosanna (of course) listened to some electro house remix. I wasn't crazy about the remix, but I liked the idea of mixing pop/rnb with a harder dance track.
Coming up with the lyrics was by far the most difficult part about writing the song, making it fun and "edgy" without being corny. I sincerely hope we pulled it off. Rosanna really put in effort, googling car models for the second verse."
Kocky actually has "Oh!" available on his Myspace, so if you want to add it as your Myspace song, you can! ;)

Confirmation about "Shake It"..
Hey guys! So unfortunately, that is not Anna in Metro Station's music video for "Shake It" (scroll down below to see the update about it from yesterday). Though Anna does agree that the girl in the music video does kind of look like her!
Just thought I would clear that up!

Rosanna on Kocky's new album, Stadium Status
Rosanna is actually on four songs on Kocky's new album, Stadium Status! The songs she sings by herself are called "Fast Car" and "Oh!" She is also on "We're Back" and "Promise 2 Call." You can listen to clips and buy the songs off of iTunes. Click the picture below to check them out!
Rosanna actually co-wrote "Oh!", "We're Back" and "Promise 2 Call"!
(How awesome is that?!)
The song that Rosanna performed with Kocky in the video I posted a few days ago is not originally sung by her on Kocky's album, but she performed it live with him. I personally love the song, so I bought it from iTunes also! It's called 4-ever Juvenile.
Rosie said she has been really busy in the studio working on a lot of songs. Hopefully I will bring you guys news on that when it becomes available!

Anna... Or Not?!
In Metro Station's music video for "Shake It", there is a girl in it who looks identical to Anna. What do you guys think? Click the picture below to watch the video on Myspace!
Thanks to Shelby for bringing this to my attention! I am going to try and find out if this is actually Anna or not. If it is, that would be so awesome! And if it's not, that girl looks so much like her it's scary!

Rosanna & Kocky Photos
Small Mention...
I was at my Aunt's house yesterday, and she gave me one of her Soap Opera magazines to look at because Jesse McCartney was in it. On one of the pages, I noticed that there was a mention of Sacred Journey - the movie Anna is in. Here's a scan!
There's no other information about it besides what we already know, but I thought that was pretty cool!
