Miriam – In Fusion

In Fusion will participate in the final of the 2017 Melodi Grand Prix in Norway with the song Nothing Ever Knocked Us Over. In the final of our short interviews with the band we speak to Miriam –

Hello Miriam.  Have you participated in any music festivals or TV competitions in Norway or abroad? If so, can you tell us about them?

I’ve fronted and toured with different rock bands before. Like for example TINDRUM, wich I fronted in 2015. We played at several Norwegian festivals that year, and it was wild!! Kee Marcello (EUROPE) joined us on parts of the tour, wich was amazing! Dag Ingebrigtsen(TheKids/TNT/Tindrum) also came along for parts of the tour. Morten “Dielsel” Dahl(TNT/Tindrum), Tore Moren(JORN) and Sid Ringsby(Tindrum/JORN), made the rest of the band. And we really had a blast that year!-The largest festival I’ve played would have to be “Midnattsrocken” in beautiful Lakselv. -Finnsnes i Fest-Fæsterålen-Storlien Rockweekend-I headlined at “OktoberRock” 2015-and opened for Stage Dolls at “Rorburock”. I also toured parts of Norway for a short while, opening for W.A.S.P (USA) that same year!

If you could cover any song what would it be?

I would love to cover ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ by Queen at some point! The song of all songs! But it would be terrifying to take on such a huge song.. so maybe not, haha! But I’d love to do my own spin on for example Me & Bobby McGee! I love that song! Janis Joplin, Kris Kristofferson and P!nk all have amazing versions, and I’d love to have one of my own!

Which artist (alive or dead) would be a dream duet for you?

If I could pick anyone to do a duet with it would have to be Jessie J! Hands down! I often feel like I should say something cliché, like some amazing legend who’s not with us anymore. I mean, I’m a huge Sinatra-fan!
But fact is, my idol and favorite artist of all times is Jessica Ellen Cornish(Jessie J)! I even have a tattoo of her on my arm! She has such an awesome vocal-control, stage-presence and range!

Thank you, Miriam. Lots of good luck with In Fusion in the MGP final.

INTERVIEW – MIRIAM OF IN FUSION

Now we are with the last of the three IN FUSION girls, Miriam and her answers to the questions from ESC Covers and Eurovision South Africa.
1 – NORWAY – since you are Norwegian, what is your best highlight from a Norwegian entry. You could say any artist and this or that song and the reason why
My Norwegian highlight will have to be the semi-finals of Melodi Grand Prix 2011, when the metalband Keep of Kalessin and Alexander Rybak got together and performed “The Divine Land” during the break. I was blown away by the mix of genres and how good they sounded together! I really wish they would get together and do more exciting stuff together! I would definitely buy that record.
2 – SWEDEN – since your composers are Swedish, what is your best highlight from a Swedish entry – the same as with Norway
 
Sweden have had so many great  entries! BUT my favorite is kind of a guilty pleasure. Im almost embarrassed to say, being a rockchick and all, but I used to dance and sing to this one as a child. I was`t even born when this aired (1984), but Herreys – Diggi-loo diggi-ley was stuck on my mind for a while. So I have to say, it is one of my favorites because I`ve heard it for so long! 
Other then that Loreens – Euphoria is my all time favorite Swedish hit song of this era! 
3 – EUROVISION – now the same question of a Eurovision entry from any country but Sweden or Norway
How can I possibly chose one!? There are so many amazing memories. 
I simply fell in love with last years entry from Belgium, Laura Tesoro with “What`s The Pressure”! Such a catchy song, and Laura was just super-cute with her cool choreography !
But I have to chose Conchita – Rise Like a Phoenix(2014) as the most memorable moment in ESC-history for me! Hands down!
Miriam, thank you for your answers, I too love DIGGI LOO DIGGI LEY and last year when Eurovision was in Stockholm, I took an Afrikaans cover of the song for Richard Herrey who is the CEO of Hard rock cafe there. And Danne was with us at the event, so ask him about it.
