Idol 2014 - TV4
2014 · Solo artist · Sweden · TV4
He walked into the biggest audition in the country with a song nobody had heard.
Most contestants pick a safe cover. Axel walked in with his own song, “Down And Up”, and played it for Laila Bagge, Anders Bagge and Alexander Bard.
He didn't get past the first audition. He knew the odds the moment he chose an original over a crowd-pleaser, and he did it anyway - because the point was never to be liked by a panel, it was to be heard on his own terms.
The audition aired on TV4, some fifteen seconds of a young songwriter refusing to play someone else's song. A no from three judges changed nothing about what came next.
- Original song “Down And Up” at the audition
- Judges: Laila Bagge, Anders Bagge & Alexander Bard
- Aired on TV4 (~15 seconds)
