The Resume

Why she might be annoying:

    She sings about discos 30 years after the genre was popular.
    Twelve years into the music business, she is virtually unknown in the U.S.
    She and music partner Paw Lagermann started out as friends, became lovers for four years, then broke up and now consider their relationship like brother-sister.
    She says of Paw's singing, 'I'm the stronger singer. Paw does a bit of additional vocals, but he is no George Michael - at least not yet.'
    The group whored their biggest hit 'From Paris to Berlin' for England, re-recording the song as 'From London to Berlin' for the country's 2006 World Cup bid.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She is fluent in both Danish and English.
    Before her music took off in her native country, she was a VJ who hosted the Danish music video channel 'The Voice TV Denmark.'
    She is the primary songwriter for the band.
    She admires Bonnie Tyler and was a big fan of the disco era, buying boatloads of disco vinyl.
    'From Paris to Berlin' hit #1 in Denmark and Spain, and reached #2 in the U.K., Ireland and Finland.
