TV-recording HOT HOT H.E.A.T

 This is where I want to be now because it's so warm!

Yesterday I spent 5 hours in a very hot studio being jury in a new TV-show in Sweden that is called True Talent. It's kind of the same as the Voice but not. Let me try to explain.

People have been sending in suggestions of great voices or they have sent it themselves. After that 3 coaches has choosen, I don't know how many each, the best voices in their opinion.
Then it's our turn. We had to apply to be jury and then selected. The jury consist of 3 age-groups  - 0-25, 25-50 and 50+. In each group more than 50% must vote yes before allowed turning and see the artist and for the artist to go through to the next step all three agegroups must vote yes. I think it was around 10 or 12 artists yesterday and I really can't remember how many we voted to go through but I think at least 7 or 8. All of them had really good voices but in some cases they had that extra. I remember one of them that grabbed me from the start and that artist was a clear yes very early on.
As we were such a great audiencejury we had to stay extra long to applaud, cheer and smile. But after 5 hours in that H.E.A.T around 40C (I think) it wasn't very easy the 50th time around.
It was me, Helen and Bianca and we really had a great time though. Bianca was upgraded to the 25-50 group and was happy about that but Helen was upgraded to 50+ and wasn't too pleased about that :-) At least she and I got to sit together which was nice.
It will be interesting to see the outcome of this. The TV-show starts on August 23 and I will of course be watching.

Tomorrow we will have nightguests as Staffan and Lena is coming to stay. It's so nice and it's not that often they stay overnight so we will have a great time. I hope the weather will stay nice.

Sunday I'm going to Mom and there I will meet with Helen whose birthday it is on Monday. We will celebrate her, as we have for the past years, so Mom can be involved as well. I think we will have cake and coffee.
I only hope her present will come in time.

I hope you all have a great weekend :-) Take care!
