TV: Last friday in “Every time we meet- anniversary” It became quite special, as Inger Lise Rypdal was honored with the King’s Medal of Merit. She will also be with us for a while tonight, as will Jonas Fjeld, OnklP, Admiral P, Odd Nordstoga, and presenters Tshawe and Silya. Eva Weel Skram leaves the Vestre Kjærnes farm and Wenche Myhre enters. Tonight there will also be many emotions. And laughs.
Jonas Fjeld: “Smile Princess” (Åge Aleksandersen)
Konnerud’s Terje Jensen opens with a song Wenche received from Åge when he celebrated his birthday and was on tour for 66 years.
The lyrics are not very deep and it is not a song for which we will remember Wenche. Jonas is honest. He thinks it’s too rock and roll and wants to do a warmer version. He accomplishes that – with a moderate and simple composition, almost a bit withdrawn. Maybe it looks even better on Jonas. There is nothing to say about communication. But exciting? This version doesn’t either, but it’s a good start to the night.
Tshawe Baqwa: “Always there” (Kenya Kristin Emiliudottir / Makeda / Lars Henrik Berhane Westerlund / Philip Boardman)
Wow, the tears flow here before Tshawe begins, both with him and with Admiral P, who lost his mother to cancer in February.
Philip, as they call him, wrote it to his mother before she passed away after a long illness, and both she and the song mean a lot to him. Tshawe takes care of that in her best performance yet in “Every Time We Meet.” He puts his soul into it, to resort to a cliche.
For whatever reason you have translated the text into English and it becomes a little less personal. But it is strong, regardless of the language. It adds an extra dimension to a lengthy foreplay by an anonymous flamenco guitarist setting the mood, before dropping it to reggae street where the Admiral thrives. In that sense, it’s a nice tribute to “brother” too, and not just to mother. Truls Hval ends a well-placed guitar solo. OnklP has lost its mother as well, so this will be heartwarming for everyone.
Silya: «Everything in order» (Johnny Engdal Silseth / Mats Lie Skåre / Pål Tøien)
Silya has chosen a song that was created after conversations during a previous stay at Vestre Kjærnes farm. Pål “OnklP” has taken care of things for the five years that have passed since the show aired, including having a daughter who is now three years old. In other words, the timing of this song is good.
Singing something that is originally rap is rarely easy, and Silya lands in a kind of middle ground. It also has a bit of a “tukla” with the text, but not too much. It’s very much the band’s song, with bass and guitar turbocharged at the bottom. As usual, Silya manages to lift it up with her voice, and her version takes off in step with the energy towards the end. But even though OnklP calls it fireworks, Silia’s version is pale at first and a bit fussy compared to Jaa9 and OnklP’s original.
We review the last three songs when the program returns after the break, at 9:40 p.m.
