NOgrammy ...
sing in English can be more famous...

1) Yes singing in English can get you more famous when singing in Swedish. but for Sophie I believe that is not the reason for her to sing in English. She is really that type of person that would do such a thing just to be famous.
If she wanted te get famous then she would have given a lot more interviews ans stuff. a lot more promotion would have been done, if she wanted to become famous around the world.

I think (an she told it somewere) she sings in English because the thinks that if she sings in Swedish her songs are to personal and she doesn't feel comfortable that way. That is why she translates her songs into English.

2) No she hasn't.
3) There are a few cords on the site here, you find the onder Music, in the menu.
4) Sweden and Norway are 2 different languages and countries, so i don't think that Swedish music derived from Norwegian. (but maybe someone from sweden could answer this.)
5) I'm from the Netherlans

1) Yes she just feels more comfortable writing in English, and to be fair her lyrics can also sometimes seem a little unclear so to speak, it sounds good but what does she mean? 

2) She won a Grammy in Sweden for best newcomer in 1995.

3) ........

4) Norway is a neighbouring nordic country to Sweden as you know, but nothing in Sophies music is inspired by that country.

5) I'm from Sweden yes 

1) Swedish is an ugly language really. There are very few singers who can make it sound otherwise. The only group I can think of is Kent with their singer Joakim Berg, but besides that it's hard to think of something that wouldn't sound better if performed in English.

I think another factor is that swedes are generatly good at english.
Except children's tv-program nothing is dubbed, only subtitles are translated.

5) I'm from Sweden
But I don't know of any other songster I like that sings the same kind of music as Zelmani.
Kent are good but they only sing in Swedish.

No Swedish is certainly not an ugly language, on the contrary

And I think it would have been lovely to hear Sophie sing in her native language

But since she doesn't want to, or feels it becomes too personal , she sticks to English

Her command of English isn't perfect though, neither her writing nor her pronounciations 

Still maybe it's a good thing she uses English, since nowadays she seems to get more fans abroad than she had before

She did do just a little bit in Swedish some years ago.

I think it's a beautiful song...especially Sophie's part of course!

Thanks for this, hadn't heard this song before

I don't like Uno Svenningson's voice though, not a good example of the beauty of Swedish I think 

Sophie was nice to hear, even though she perhaps whispers a little too much, something she on the other hand often does

Thanks for your answer very much.One and a half year have already passed away,and I am coming back with a familiar sense.I have got a lot of imformation about Zelmani  I did not know before,cause' our country is into the world.Sophie is a menber in Sony' s big family,through which she can be known to so many Asian. ::)I can feel the world is  into unum.
