SE: Hej Velvet. Nice to finally meet you! Thanks ever so much for taking some time out with us!
V: Hello, nice to be here!
SE: All of us at straighteurovision loved 'mi amore' in 2006. We thought you looked beautiful and performed the song incredibly. How did you think you did?
V: I am very happy with my performance and i did my best. I didn´t make it to the final but i had a summer hit with Mi Amore wich i am very happy for.
SE: How do you think the ark will do at eurovision this year?
V: I think The Ark will do very well. Maybe even win.
SE: We were distraught to find you were not in melodifestivalen this year, especially after we had our globen tickets ready...will you be back in 2008?
V: If i get a good song i will definetly be back 2008.
SE: Who would you have picked as melodifestivalen winner 2007?
V: The Ark, definately.
SE: Same as us then. Straighteurovision just happened to be watching svt1 and we saw you on a music show sat in the same team as Mans. How did you rate his performance at melodifestivalen?
V: Måns is very talented and good looking. He had a good song and did a good show.
SE: Think he was quite popular with the Globen crowd to be honest. If you could duet with any act from the final of melodifestivalen who would it be (were guessing Mans again)?
V: Sebastian
SE: Ooh thats a turn-up for the books. Whats your favouite eurovision moment of all time?
V: When i was back up singing for Antique with Elena in Copenhagen. Fantastic moment with 35000 i the audience. Didn´t want to leave the stage.
SE: (Following re-runs of that night, we can now confirm that a young Velvet was on camera for like 1.5 seconds...and whos that with her, my oh my its a youn Shirley Clamp). What is your favourite eurovision song of all time?
V: Every way that I can by Sertab of Turkey
SE: Thought you might have said a swedish classic there, oh well. Which celebrity do you most fancy..come on give straighteurovision some gossip!
V: Justin Timberlake..I love him!
SE: Thats too obvious...Have you seen or heard the UK song for eurovision. If yes, do you like it? How do you think the UK will do?
V: No Comment
SE: Ooh get her! In the UK the standard of our eurovision songs are really poor, would you consider singing for the Uk and taking us up to the top?
V: I would love to sing for the Uk. It would be an honour.
SE: The honour would be ours; as long as we could be backing singers (in a scooch sorta way). Your new vid, Fix Me, is really hot. Its the raunchiest we have seen Velvet. Are all Swedish women as attractive as you?
V: First of all thank you, and of course they are...Almost :-)
SE: Hehe...What will be your next single?
V: I just released "Fix Me" so the next one wont be until june. Recording songs for my album now so i dont know yet wich one will be the single.
SE: If you could change one part of your performance of Mi Amore, what would it be?
V: Nothing
SE: What do you think of our blog http://straighteurovision.blogspot.com? (you can lie and say its fab if you like....)
V: Its Fantastic! :-)
SE: My god we soooooo love Velvet even more now...What is Velvet's real name?
V: My name is Jenny.
SE: Ok Hi Jenny (feeling more informal now). So where were you born, where do you live (not in a stalkerish way btw :-)
V: I am from a town called Helsingborg wich is in the south of sweden. But i live in Stockholm now.
SE: Has Velvet been to the UK. If yes, which part?
V: I have been to London many times. Love the shopping.
SE: Well the South is where you wanna come next time. Im sure we would love to show you the ups and downs, and ins and outs....Finally, we were cheering you on in melodifestivalen 2006 and are massive fans of Velvet (as fans of the blog already know). What words do you have for your UK fans?
V: I hope that my song Fix me will be a huge hit in the Uk so i can meet my fans in person and thank them. A big thank you!!! xxxx
SE: Tack Jenny. Look forward to seeing you in Globen next year...
V: Thanks!
