Margaret Berger - Norwegian Synthpop - Norway Eurovision Finale




Margaret Berger is a singer / songwriter from Norway.  She's a former contestant in the second season of Norwegian Idol, which is Norway's version of American Idol.  After the contest ended she released two CDs:  "Chameleon" in 2004 and "Pretty Scary Silver Fairy" in 2006.

I had never even heard of her until I was bored one day and started watching YouTube clips from Eurovision (2013).  Eurovision is a music competition that's held annually in Europe in which countries send a representative to compete against the rest of Europe.  You never know what you'll hear (or see) at Eurovision. The quality can be all over the place.

So I was pleasantly shocked when Margaret Berger's "I Feed You My Love" started playing and sounded great!  (You can watch it above.)  I ended up paying a fortune to get her two CDs imported from Norway, because I like her Eurovision song so much.  I'll let you know what I think of her two, older releases after I've had a chance to really listen to them.  Meanwhile, below is a song from her second CD.
