What happens

Så mycket bättre (Swedish: [ˈsoː ˈmʏ̂kːɛ ˈbɛ̌tːrɛ], lit. 'So Much Better') is a Swedish reality television show broadcast on TV4. The basic premise is that each participating musician performs their own version of a well-known song by another artist, with each episode focusing on every participant performing a different song by the same artist. The musicians spend eight days together at a hotel in Gotland, where they re-interpret the songs in their own styles. The first series aired on 23 October 2010 and featured Lasse Berghagen, Barbro "Lill-Babs" Svensson, Petter, Thomas Di Leva, September, Christer Sandelin and Plura Jonsson. A second series premiered on 29 October 2011 and featured Lena Philipsson, Tomas Ledin, Eva Dahlgren, Mikael Wiehe, Timbuktu, Laleh and E-Type. A third season was launched on 27 October 2012 that included Darin Zanyar, Miss Li, Maja Ivarsson, Olle Ljungström, Magnus Uggla, Pugh Rogefeldt and Sylvia Vrethammar. The format of the show is based on Beste Zangers, a Dutch show first broadcast in 2009, and since franchised to 9 countries. In January 2025, TV4 made the decision to put the show on hiatus after fifteen seasons. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
