[cartman781]

Love your voice!!! You have a fan in the USA as well!

[planet640]

Sofia, you have a fan in Australia.

[MrRazorblade999]

Hon borde inte sjunga sån här smörig skit. Hennes röst är perfekt för bluegrass

[TheAccelerated]

Of course this s lovely, but the swedish songs of Sofia are so beautiful, they are a treasure for the world, and we have so many english songs....

[8LordTalian8]

Your all off your monkey nuts, this is a great version of the song and I for one am more then glad to hear it sung with such presence as what she exudes in her singing! This holds a celtic twist to a strong and beautiful song, way to go!!!

[Michael24311]

Wonderful!! I Thik not bad! Glad to lisen it, and likes to to lisen more and more!!!

[SportKort]

Sofia Karlsson återkommer som gästartist i årets säsong av På Spåret. Kan bli två nya fina framföranden alltså.

[saab93sportsedan]

very bad

[Gothenburg1]

great interpretation but I think we can change the way to sing this song because it needs to stay an emotional song with a bigg atmo for backing and not a light tempo this way but good work however

[luedieniel]

Nothing bad about the scorpions, they've got a couple of good songs.

Not her best works but I couldn't do it better myself.

[666MeBad]

she sings ..............................­.....

[suzuki981]

En ängel sjunger om en ängel!"

An angel sings about an angel!

[swedenmusicfan]

ryser lika mkt varje gång.. Sofia din tolkning och din röst.. underbart.

[rAte0n3]

crap !



[swedenmusicfan]

Underbart Sofia... som alltid!



[DerRealLoewe]

har ni funderat på att hon var gravid vi tillfället? Send me an angel får en lien annan inebörd d. Hoppas att din ängel fann sitt bo hos sin gudomliga moder.

[DerRealLoewe]

I hope you have recived your angel.

[MrRepulsiv]

Just as usual she take a song and make it her own, it's not really a cover, it's her version of it.

I like it alot :)

[5henangn]

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL ...her Voice is like an angel<3 it

[wrestlingbeef]

She is very beatiful.

[Korpflyet66]

Till er som gnäller på Sofia Karlsson, det borde vara hon som gjorde den från början. Scorpions är ett litet HBT gäng som trodde att dom var hårdrockare, men dom gjorde ju ballader för att kela med varandra i turnefiaten. Scorpions are the biggest shit i the hardrock world.

[SweScorpions]

Håller inte riktigt med dig där. dom har sållt över 150miljoner skivor. en hel del rock klassiker som, Rock you like a hurricane, no one like you. Pictured life.. osv.. osv.. . det finns ju en anledning till att vissa band blir stora, ingen börgar på topp. dom började som ett litet lokalt band i Hanover, blev rikskända gjorde en platta blev skitstora i Europa sen på 80-talet slog dom igenom i USA.. du behöver inte lyssna på dom om du inte vill men du behöver inte skryta om att du inte gör det.

[SportKort]

Håller med dig, Scorpions var naturligtvis ett jättestort band när de var igång som mest. Sofia gjorde en suveränt varsam och fin tolkning av låten i och med det här framförandet i På Spåret, som hon så ofta gör med sina versioner. Hon får mer än gärna gästa På Spåret fler gånger, nu när det är kontrakt på tre säsonger till.

[TinyArts]

Väldigt bra version, nästan lite keltiska vibbar i hennes röst.

[TygoS]

damn beautiful voice!!

[7809one]

Sofia Karlsson, I want to hear you sing more in english. You are too good for only singing in swedish. Come on!

[kaarekjohnsen]

@7809one You can hear her sing Steve Earle's "Valentine's Day" in English on her Myspace page.

[6073114]

@kaarekjohnsen checked it out. Thanks for sharing the info.

[6073114]

This is the only song I've found on youtube where Sofia Karlsson sings in English. Usually it's Swedish. Love her voice, but this was NOT a good song for her. I hope she will try this again with a better English lyrics song.

[Death666wish]

this cover is pure SHIT! it's a disgrace, and it's disrespectful to the SCORPIONS, they made a beautiful song sound so cheap, amateurish and hanky panky or whatever. this is absolute shit and that band deserves to die. and she is just horrible with her shaky voice and shakira wannabe or whatever she's trying to do.

black and death metal that come out of your countries sound like heaven compared to this load of crap.

[extrememattte]

@Death666wish you are nothing.

[Death666wish]

@extrememattte wow, you thought about that reply all by yourself?

let's see this loser singer with crappy voice get just HALF of the awards, gold and platinum discs the SCORPIONS got, and then come talk to me.

losers listen to losers, winners listen to Scorpions.

[extrememattte]

@Death666wish I've never mentioned or compared her with scorpions. But she is a good singer and also a good musician. And when someone does a cover of a song it's never disrespectful, they do it because they like the original.

[Death666wish]

@extrememattte well i see now you have a better reply, well i know anyone who covers a song is because they like the original, but with all honesty they made it sound so cheap, and her performance i judged solely on this song which was bad, her voice was shaky it didn't take a professional judge to tell, i don't know how well she does on other songs if she's better or not, and also i can't judge on her musical talent because i still didn't hear her play anything or anything she composed.

[lehnrik]

@Death666wish The "shakey" that you call it, is vibrato.

[Death666wish]

@extrememattte and i'm sorry if i disrespected your idol, but i am still not pleased with this cover.

[extrememattte]

@Death666wish well she ain't my idol, my idols are RHCP. And I also think that Scorpions original version of this song is much better.

But she is a good singer and musician and she actually have won awards in her niche.

[SportKort]

In this program she sings this song because of the quiz, they travel to diffrent towns around the world and ask about the towns. Sofia was not sure if she could sing Scorpions she says in a small interwiew after the program. I think she could, she is one of Swedens most popular singers today, folkmusic-style.

[lehnrik]

@Death666wish Hahaha, disrespectful to Scorpions, they don't deserve anything but scorn after how much shit they've released through the years.

[MrTomscorpion]

hon sjunger bra:)  men den här låten sjunger jag mycket bättre:)

[RosaOnTheHouse]

Å såg hon live i Piteå! ASBRA konsert(^_~!

[ViktorK86]

Riktigt bra sjunget, skön låt

[nilamedia]

Sången är helt suvären!!

[Lellerick]

Fantastiskt skön version

[8604chili]

Faktiskt en riktigt bra cover. Oerhört överraskad

[frow1]

fruktansvärt fint.

[TinyArts]

Mycket bra cover, nästan lite keltiska/irlänska vibrationer i hennes röst.

[Pitepalt81]

Riktigt riktigt bra!

[BoyaBo]

You are an angel.

[kaarekjohnsen]

My appoligies to everyone for creating so much fuzz about the credits to this song! I must blame it on SVT (Swdish TV) that gave the wrong credits in the quiz show. I also thank everyone who helped to clarify this, especially Jason!

[jasonmanuelcarreiro]

Mystery about the credits solved: the Swedish TV station gave the credits wrong. The band plays "The Rockford files theme" at the end of the same show. Kraftwerk's reference at the beginning of the song is OK, though. And Send me an angel is definitely a Schenker/Meine composition.

[jasonmanuelcarreiro]

I think what the credits means is Scorpions + Rockford files theme + Krftewerk.

When you listen to the other 2 songs, it makes more sense...

By the way, congrats! Very creative rereading and mixing of these 3 songs!

[alescorpions]

fa skifo sta versione... l'ha rovinata sta canzone....sempre a rovinare i capolavori degli scorpions sta gente...

[ericmala]

Wonderful cover sung by a wonderful singer!

[kaarekjohnsen]

I find it very ammusing that the opinions differ so widely regarding this cover version - everything from "the best" to "the worst". :-)

[SportKort]

I explain in english so the english-spokens visitors understand. This version is very good, we in Sweden like our Sofia Karlsson, many of us do that. She don´t sang so much in english and don´t sing Scorpions and music like that.

[kaarekjohnsen]

And we in Norway like her too!

[suvetar]

@kaarekjohnsen

And some of we in the UK too :)

[Humbersaw]

yes you're right this version its awesome, i love swedish music, greetings from mexico

[Nikshark1979]

"A cover of the Scorpions' song from the 70's, "Send Me an Angel", written by Pete Carpenter & Mike Post (for the American TV crime series "The Rockford Files" that went from 1974 to 1980)"

the song is written by Klaus Meine and Rudolf Schenker and it's from the album Crazy World which was released in 1990

And this cover is one of the worst I've ever heard...

[ToshikoAnderson]

I don't like singers nowadays sing the same.

They think it sounds better to add extra inflection when they sing.

That is why no one can become like Karen Carpenter.

[SportKort]

Sofia kan mäta sig med de stora sångerskorna i världen. Men det gör inget om hon fortsätter ha fokus på Sverige med sina konserter och sin musik. Kul att höra henne i en sådan här tolkning, föga oväntat låter även det väldigt bra.

[DarthAyreon]

Great version! She has a great voice too!

[Nikshark1979]

one of the worst versions ever.....

SCORPIONS4LIFE

[Axessor]

Fantastisk tolkning.

Bland det bästa jag hört.

[mw2010mw]

Såg sofia karlsson på spåret i går hade alldrig hört talas om henne- fan vad bra hon är...matte

[flyingv1]

ubelivable version of the song! should make it as single!
