No-Gossip-Policy
Gossip surrounding Amanda Jenssen’s private life is NOT something we participate in. The only rumours and speculations you will read here are strictly concerning her music and professional life in general.
Feel like contributing?
▪ Concert reports. Unfortunately, not even a hardcore fan can manage to be at all of Amanda’s concerts. That’s why we would like to publish concert reports from as many gigs as possible. Anyone who can type decent English, has good knowledge about Amanda’s music and feels compelled to write a concert report is welcome to contribute.
▪ Photos. Our goal is to have a photo from each concert in the Gigography section. There are a number of concerts missing pictures. We would also like to add more photos to our Flickr stream. Therefore we would be truly greatful if you would be willing to send an e-mail with your photo/s attached.

Video clip from Radio Zürisee
Amanda Jenssen is singing a bit of Happyland in front of Radio Zürisee reinforced by Pär Wiksten and Edith Backlund. But the recording is cut off drastically because of Pär, who utters a creative curse word after playing the wrong note.

Today Sony Music’s press release told us that Happyland International Version will launch in the countries around the Alps and in the remaining Scandinavian countries during the first week in May. Later in the year Amanda Jenssen’s music will go even further away – over the Black Sea to Turkey.

Amanda and M.A.C in two places at the same time
T-Mobile – who are sponsoring Amanda Jenssen’s showcase tour – have made a presentation page on their music site. ”Morbus Amandophilus Chronicum” and ”Amandaism” are used as reinforcing expressions to communicate Amanda’s geniousity and popularity to the Alp neighboring countries.
Even the Austrian radio station Antenne Kärnten writes about Amanda on their website. In their texts we can again see M.A.C and Amandaism – although slightly in a miscomprehending manner.
