Where for art though Spazz?

sounds like "European Idol" here? Bet you won't see this on American Idol, from their official website. Wow.

Not exactly. It's a pop song contest. One singer or group/one song per country, selected through national finals. Then a big Europe-wide phone in where each country phones in votes, but not for their own song/singer. It's where ABBA got their big breakthrough way back when.

"one key member was in a bad car accident and couldn't participate any more. Very tragic. As I recall, he wound up wheelchair-bound, which is tough on anybody but not least on a singer/dancer....Oh, and add another of envy for the ride suggestions."

That is very sad. Do you know which one below it is?

It was Olav Klingen. I checked their site. Seems they did find a replacement after all, although at the time Klingen was a key performer in comedy routines as well as a singer and I think also choreographer for the group. Seems they're also still popular and do a good show, though I guess they're not in the national spotlight the way they were back when they won the national Melody Grand Prix final, or when Klingen was in that accident. Or maybe it's me who's not paying attention to what's in the spotlights now that I'm middle-aged and out of the loop (or is that old and loopy?).
