Mery Christmas!!

I gotta say to you... this....

I promised you to make a cover of a Chritmas song this year. But now I have been sick for 12 days. I really hoped I could make it before the 24. But no... My voice is totally out of tune, and there is nothing to do :( So so so sad!!
I hope you forgive me some day!!

But aftere New Year when my voice is back to normally again, I'm ready with some new covers. Can't wait to show you.

Untill then, I will wish you all a VERY merry Chritmas, and a happy (and safe) New Year!!!!

Take Care!!!

Hugs.. Henriette

This weekend I have been practicing the songs on our future album (coming out October 18) with Julia and Mathilde. In the beginning of the next year we are going on a small tour here in Denmark. I’m really excited for that. I’ve never been on a tour before!!

BACKSTREET’S BACK, ALLRIGHT!!!

Hey there!!

Guess what.. Yes.. I really did made a cover of a boyband-song. But I’m still working on the other artists I described! To be honest I love boybands! They are just so exaggerated in a really good way. Definitely. I mean.. they look great and they sing great. How much more does a girl want? That’s the perfect way to make girls over the whole world like them – and I fall into it too.
So here is a song by Backstreet Boys originally! :D



Lots of happy thoughts!

Henriette

THE FIREFLIES performing!!

Hey guys..

I'm so proud to show you this. This is my group The Fireflies who is singing to a town festival in a city called Randers. This is one of the songs we sang.
It's a really cool song, and we really enjoy singing it. It is filmed by my manager and his iPhone ;)
From the left it is: Me (Henriette), Mathilde and Julia. Look how lucky I am to be in a group with two girls who sings so b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l!



I can also inform you that our album has realease in October 18!!!! So excited.
Most of the songs is produced på Carsten "Soulshock" Schack, who was our judge in The X Factor :) He does amazing stuff and has worked with hugh stars!! And now he is OUR producer. So cool!! You should check him out here on Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soulshock_&_Karlin

In next week I am going to Copenhagen to make a photoshoot with The Fireflies!

I hope you are enjoying your weekend - I am :)

Take Care and big hugs from me!

Henriette

Someone wrote to me...

... that they wanted some updates. So here it is! :)

First some updates about Fireflies: We are working on how our album-cover is going to look. And what our album-title should be. And there isn’t really long time to the album-realse (October)!!!!! Wuhu.

And then some updates about just me: I am working on 4-5 different songs actually. Can’t really decide which of them I want to make a cover of first, so I’m just practicing them all. It is songs by JoJo, Rihanna, Leona Lewis, Mariah Carey and Pink. They’re all REALLY good artists. I’m a big fan of all of them!!
That’s all for now! :)

Lots of hugs
Henriette

Look at this!

HELLOOOO….

First I want to say, that me and the two other girls in The Fireflies, finally have finished very first our CD. It will be out in October. SO exciting!!

And the second thing I want to tell/show you is that in this weekend, I performed to so many people with The Fireflies. It was huge. Here are some pictures from the concert. (It’s me with the blonde hair and the grey dress and black and white tights)

 

Have a nice week!!!

Hugs!

Henriette

Vacation, vacation, vacation!!

Now I’m home from a small vacation with my boyfriend, just here in Denmark. We visited a place called “Skandinavisk Dyrepark”. On their homepage they translate it to “Scandinavian Wildlife Park”, so let us just call it that. As the name says, it’s a park where you can go see a lot of the animals who live in the Scandinavian. It was really exciting to see and the weather was w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l. Here is some pictures from the visit:

This is me and Mr Bear.. wrrrrraaaaahhhh......

It looked so sweet when they were playing together in the water

Okay.. How cute is this one? He only needs a television and a beer. Then he is good to go!!!!

Who says that bears are dangerous? I just can't believe them when I look at this picture.. So cute..

Me feeding a "Bambi".. I were a little scared, even though it is a cute animal!!

Bears waiting for the zookeeper to give them some food

And this one was getting tired of waiting sooooo long for the food

If anyone wants to give me a christmas-present... then... I want to have a bear!

On Monday I’m going to Copenhagen to record some more songs to our Fireflies-album. It’s always exciting to record because you learn so much about singing and about yourself.
Now there is only 2 months (ca) to our album is coming out. Cant wait!!!!

Enjoy your life!!

Henriette

Home from Paris.... :)

Now I’m home from a great weekend in Paris, France. I saw a lot of exciting and beautiful places and I must say, that Paris is a wonderful city with a lot of nice people and interesting places.
The biggest and funniest I saw was the Eiffel tower. It was SO high!! Me and my mom got all the way to the top. What a view you have from there. And it felt totally untrue standing right there next to it. Really fascinating!

It’s weird how different things can be if you just fly in 2 hours. The weather, the food, people, the buildings. Everything is so different. The only thing who is the same all over is Coca Cola. But I don’t like that, so it doesn’t mean anything to me. Hehe :D

The hotel we lived at was great. Small cozy rooms with French balconies just like in movies, and it only took  minutes in a metro to go to the centrum of Paris. It really couldn't be better.

If it's possible for me, I wish learning French some day. Beautiful language - but really hard to understand!!

Here is some few pics from the trip: 

 This is me in front of The Eiffel Tower. Look how powerful it is. Wwoooaaarh!!

This is the really beautiful view highest up from The Eiffel Tower!!

This is champs-Elysées seen from a tourbus.

This is me in front of NOTRE DAME!! The only thing I could think abuout when I stood there, was that Esmeralda from The Hunchback of Notre Dame has been there. In cartoon ofcourse. 

And at last.. a picture of me eating breakfast at the hotel. Great!

Enjoy your vacation if you are so lucky having that!! Or else.. just enjoy your life.

Hugs!

Paris tomorrow!!!

Hi. Tomorrow morning I'm going to Paris. I can't wait!! We are gonna stay at a hotel called "Comfort Hotel Saint Pierre", and it looks great.

And hey.. I have uploaded a new cover on YouTube today. It's a Danish song by a Danish and very famous singer right now, called Medina. This song is called "Ensom" ("Lonely" in English"). Actualy I am not so crazy about the lyrics because it's about a boy who broke up with her girlfriend, because he did't thought it worked out any longer. And then the girl says that she hopes that the boy is lonely without her, and that he shouldn't have broke up with her. Well.. She wants him to feel pain over breaking up with her.
And if I should get deeper into the text, I actually think she feels so bad and sorry not being with him, and wish him back. That's maybe why she hopes that he doesn't feel good without her.

Here it is...


See you!! :)

Henriette

Studiotime!

Hello eveyone..
Yesterday and today and tomorrow I'm in the syudio with The Fireflies.. Look:

The guy who's sitting there, is the one who controle the sound, and Mathilde is in the vocal-box singing her parts. And Julia is writing her diary I think.

The weather in Denmark is so great right now. So sad I can't be outside in the sunshine, but I still enjoy recording songs inside the studio. So that's not a problem :D

Well. I hope I can make a YouTube cover really soon. But in about a week I'm going to PARIS!!!.. Yay. For 3 days. I can't wait. If you think there is something I HAVE to see, you are welcome to write it to me!!

Take care of yourself :)

Henriette

Update again.

Heeey

The weather here in Denmark was SO great today. The sun was shining – but not so much to get burned. Phew!
My brother’s girlfriend got finish with her “high school” (but here in Denmark it’s called something else I don’t know how to translate to English). Anyway… It was a good day with a lot of great food and nice people.

In the next week I am going to Copenhagen (capital of Denmark) to record 2 more songs to our album with The Fireflies. Being in studio with these girls is one of the best things in the world. Sometimes you are in the box singing and sometimes you are eating chips and sometimes you are just talking with the nice people in the studio, and listen to all the good music coming out of the speakers. Great!

And I received my new shoes today!!!! Weee….. (And you also got my whole living room to see).
Look…

I’m still not done with finding out how my blog is going to look. But I think I’m on the right way.

See you!!

Hugs… :)

Layout-changes

Dear Everybody..

As you maybe have seen, I’m trying to change my layout both here on my blog and on my YouTube-channel.
But unfortunately I don’t know that much about computers and internet sites, so I think it will take a little time, before I get the right combination of everything I want. Just be patience with me and all this changing around. I’m trying my best.
I get tired of the pink theme even though I still love the color a lot. But now I’m in a blue phase I think, which reminds me of that I just bought some new shoes so I can look great when I’m out performing with my group The Fireflies. Check them out.. aren’t they cool? They seem a little high, but I have to learn walk in them!!



Well.. Good start on a new week tomorrow!!!

Henriette

New cover!!

I finally made a new cover. For the first time in 5 monthes I guess..

Here it is:



I hope you like it :)

Hugs from me!!!

New cover – soon!!

Hey Everybody

I have good news. Actually I kinda already told you in the subject, but, there I’m gonna upload a new cover really soon. It is taped and almost ready, but I need a program to make it fine so it can get on YouTube.
It’s a song called “Over my head” by The Fray. I have made songs by The Fray before and I really like their style. One of the old covers I have made is “How To Save A Life”



The next 3 days I’m going to the studio to record some songs with The Fireflies. I can’t wait to do that. Being in the studio is one of the best things in the whole world! Singing all day in 3 days!! WEHU!! And being with my two group members. They are so sweet.

Julia the first picture, Mathilde the next :-)




Stay cool until next time!! :D

Henriette

MUSICVIDEO!!!

It's her... It's Useless...

Haha..

Now the musicvideo is here. I really hope you like it.



It was so funny to make a musicvideo. A REAL musicvideo. I really felt I was a superstar while making it.
We went to a summerhouse (I don't know if there is another word for that. A house where you only live in the summer periode). Anyway. We were ther at seven o'clock in the morning, and started to film outside. It was sooooo cold, but I tried not to show it. Hehe.
And about elleven o'clock in the night we were done, and I could take with the train home to my bed, (it took 3 hours)and sleep to the next day. I think we had a really productive day there.

Keep reading, I'll keep you updated - I promise this time!!!

Big hugs from me!!!

"It's Useless"

Hey there.

I was so happy when I saw that some people still are looking out for my blog.
I will really try keep in touch again from now on.

So.. today I'm going to the Capital of Denmark - Copenhagen. I have to meet with The Fireflies and practice some songs, 'cause tomorrow we are going to do an interview with the Danish MTV, and they want us to sing.
We have to make an interview with them because our first MUSICVIDEO is out in very few days. I will put a link here when it's on YouTube. The musicvideo is for our very first single "It's Useless". (You can hear the song in an acoustic live version in a Danish television-show below - I'm singing thesecond verse)

I actually want to thank all you who have watched my videos and read my blog. I wouldn't have been hear today if it wasn't for you. You gave me strength en power to follow my dream as a singer. I still haven't reach the top, but I also think that I never will. I can always fight more and more and be better end better.




Can't wait to show you the musicvideo and the original version. You can find the original version on YouTube now, but not with out musicvideo.

Take Care

A lot of happy thoughts..

Henriette

I'M HERE!!! ARE YOU THERE???

Allright. I’ll have to admit that all of you deserve the biggest ”SORRY” in the whole world. And I guess that’s even not enough.
Everyday since I posted my last update in here, I wanted to write something to you about my life right now.

First I want to say that all who watch my videos and comment them, still mean so much to me. I look on YouTube everyday to see what people think. And every day it makes me so happy to see that people still watch my videos and commenting them.

The different from January and now is, that I’m not longer just Henriette who likes to sing in her spare time and upload covers. Now I’m Henritte from a group called “The Fireflies”. I’m not going to school anymore. I’m only working with this group.
It’s very exciting and I like it a lot. But I really do have bad conscience over not writing to you at all.
It’s like I have just thrown you away – but I don’t. I remember you, and I miss you.

If you want to know more about “The Fireflies”, you can go to www.fireflies.dk , or search on “The Fireflies fra X Factor” in Facebook. Everything is in Danish because we’ve got a lot of kids who are fans, and they don’t understand English. You can also see clip from X Factor where we get together and meet each other, where we are performing for the whole Denmark, on my channel on YouTube.

Maybe there will come a cover soon.. but I’m not sure. I just wish that you will keep looking.

Well. Take care of yourself and enjoy ever moment.

A lot of hugs from me

HENRIETTE :)

Time is running from me - oh no!

Hi !!

Well, the time is running fast. I have been making 3 videos since my last post here on my blog.
The lates one is "Use Somebody" by Kings of Leon:



I cut the c-part of of this song, because I think it does not fit into this song at all.
I'm sorry if someone miss this part in the song, but I really didn't liked it.

As you maybe can hear, the sound is a bit difficult from all my other videos. I thougt that it would kind of "complete" the song, to add a bit echo. I guess my brother thought it sounded weird. Hehe :)

The next three says I won't be able to be online so much, because I'm on a little trip to the capital, here in Denmark.

Allright. Stay happy, if you allready are! If not.. then be happy!

Hugs from me!!

Heriette

Halløj (Danish for hallo - funny!!)

Wow. I have only been away for 2 days, and when I got home, I had over 25 new comments on my YouTube-videos. I can not wait to start answering them!! That is so amazing! Can’t believe that people have so many nice things to say to me. I appreciate every comment and every message. You are all helping me so much to move forward! Thanks!

A lot of people has been giving me requests, and of course I want to do them all, but I really do not have so much time. That is so sad. Sometimes I just wish that a day could be 48 hours. Then I could play so much more music. Would that be awesome, or what? :)

I hope you all enjoy the beginning of the new yar, and still is holding on to your new year-continues. You can do it!!

If there is snow where you live, then grab your sleigh and go have some fun on the hills. Juhuuu..

Take Care

Henriette


P.s. I haven't been on Twitter for a REALLY long time, but today I tried to go online there againg.. and.. omg.. that is so difficult for me to understand. So please be patient with me in there. Sorry if I don't answer your posts. It's only because I don't know how to do - not because I don't want - cause I do! :)

My story..

So.. this is going to be a very looong post. I hope you will read it.

I thought that maybe you would like to know somthing about my background. First just what I have been doing whit my life untill now – very boradly. And then how long and much I have been singing in my life.

1991 (October 30th): I was born. Hurray.
1992 – 1993: Creche.
1993 - 1997: Kindergarden.
1997 – 2007: Primary School. 2 different schools actually. I changed school in 6th class.
2007 – 2009: Worked first at a stock for a year, and then in a supermarket.
2009 – now: Production School. A lot of people do not know what that is. It’s a place you can go for a year, if you have nothing else to do, or if you are waiting to go for a education, or if you have some problems and don’t fit in other places, or if you can’t handle a normal school or work, or if you just want to do something else then regular school for a while.
I’m there because I get tired at working, had some problems with who I really were as a person, and wanted to do something more with my music. At the production school there is a workshop called ”music”, where I can go all the day from 8 – 3 and play music in a band. I couldn’t be more happy for going there.
I have developed myself in many ways, learned a lot about people and life. And of course I have learned a lot about music! :)

I remember in kindergarden I really liked to sing, and I here is 2 pictures of me when I was a tiny tiny girl, with a micropfone in my hand.



When I started in school, I also started singing in choir. Almost all the girls from my class did it, and it felt really natural and real for me. In third grade a lot of the girls from my class jumped out of the choir. But me and a few other girls continued in another choir.

Then in sixth grade when I moved to another school, I also started singing in a new choir. That was great, and we went traveling to Sweden once, to perform. I sang in that choir untill I were 14 and went into the eighth grade (my second last year at school), then I started having private tuition instead of singing in choir.
That was so much better for me. I learned a lot of techniques, and learned what songs I really liked to sing.
I learned to sing like that person I am and it opened my eyes for how important singing was to me. I performed 2-3 times alone on stage for a bunch of people, and learned to be a singer, and not just a vokal in a choir.

Now comes the sad part of the story. I finally ended my school, and had to figure out something to do.
I started to work and could not get my singing hours to fit with my work hours so I could no longer go to this privat tuition.
I worked and worked and worked, and started to miss singing so much. Of course I still sang when I was at my home, but I still missed spending more time and energy on my singing.

And now the good part of the story shows up. I bought a guitar, learned how to play it, started at the procuktion school, created my YouTube-channel and scratched on!!

I have always heard this ”resistance makes you stronger”, and finaly I understood the meaning of it.
Missing singing so much, made me do all these YouTube-videos and really enjoy making them.
I’m happy for what I have done untill now, even though it may not seems like much. I only see it going one way – forward!!

I hope it was worth reading, and you maybe feel you know me a little bit better. If there is anything else you want to know, just send me a message here on my blog, or write me an e-mail, or question me at YouTube.

Thanks for all your supporting. Every comment makes a different for me – I really couldn’t make it without you!!

2010.. here we come!

Happy thoughts!

Henriette

P.S. You know English isn’t the language I was born with. I hope you understand the most of what I write, and sorry for the phrases that just absolutely makes no sense for you. I’m doing my best :)
