Alexander Bard to judge on Swedish Idol
-

Alexander Bard, the mastermind behind Gravitonas, BWO and Army Of Lovers has taken on a new role – judging the 8th season of the Swedish adaptation of Idol. Sitting with him on the panel will be Anders Bagge (songwriter/producer) Laila Bagge Wahlgren (songwriter/talent scout) and Pelle Lidell (A&R Executive for Universal Music.
Alex declined the offer in the past, saying…
“I just felt that now was the right time. I’ll admit that I’ve never watched Idol before, but I will do a crash course,” he said and added, “I’m not searching for the perfect singer. I’m much more interested in finding strong personalities.”
After accepting the role, he spoke a bit about how the show has progressed and why he’s ready to be a part…
“The program has become quite sophisticated over the years [...] Mainly because it spawned artists who do not necessarily win the competition, but which reach out to the audience and start building a career.”
We’re absolutely sure Bard will be an asset to the panel, considering the iconic music + brands he’s created through his successful career.
“I am know to be straightforward and I will continue to be,” he promised.
