3. Tess - swedish eurodance artist,
She was born on the 13th of February 1978. She grew up in Solna, in the North of Stockholm where she lived with her mother until she was 15 years old. She studied French language for three years. At the age of 15 Tess gave up her studies and got the opportunity to start dancing at different night-clubs all around Sweden. She also worked during the day at the Sheraton Hotel. She took the chance since music and dance are her big passions. Tess' taste in music is very broad and she gets off on anything from classical music to heavy house-techno. She hasn't set any goals in music business, but wants to live one day at a time.
She was born in Stockholm in 1978 but her exotic looks reveals her origin from India/Finland on her fathers side and Belgium/Sweden on her mothers. To her merits one can count danceacts with Dr Alban , Rob ´n Raz and Drömhus (Dreamhouse). She has also sung backup vocals and danced with Basic Element. Then in 1998 she became La Cream's voice. Their first single Château d´amour was releasedat Dr. Records / Arcade Music. The single became a hit and they decided to go on. The second single, You, was La Cream's first commercial hit and it sold Gold in both Sweden and Norway.
She likes the music she's doing: "If you don't like the music you're doing, you can't do it with your heart. Then you can't perform it with the right feeling. When being out I although like a bit harder music and not euro that much. La Cream is dance music and I love dance." Tess likes the current artists: "I like Madonna. She's a great artist, who's done music for years. I like new Swedish artists like Markoolio, he's the funniest artist in the world. Antiloop is good. I listen to all kinds of music."
In 2000, after about 160 shows with La Cream, Tess left the project. "It was a fantastic time", says Tess, who during these two years got the opportunity to go to a lot of interesting places and to meet a lot of exciting people. She released her first solo single, Justify My Love, which sounds just like La Cream's tracks, and was in fact composed and produced by Ari Lehtonen from La Cream. Tess' forthcoming album was composed and produced by David Kreuger, Jörgen Elofsson, C&N Project, Juha Myllylä and Jorge Vasconcelo, who is the former member of La Cream.
The next single is entitled Viva L'amor. On the 20th of May Tess participated on NRJ Spring Break Party in Kungsträdgården (Stockholm). On the 15th-16th of June Tess performed at the Power Summer Party (On the 15th in Gothenburg/Liseberg and on the 16th in Stockholm/Gröna Lund). On the 23rd of October she released her debut album.

Stupid
Tess Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Soo Stupid!
Het is weer zover
Kriebels in m'n maag
wat doe ik ermee, stel ik hem de vraag
ik zie hem al lopen en draai me om
ik weet wel zeker, hij vind me vast dom...
Refrein.
Hoe kom ik erachter
wie schakel ik in
wie is nu eigenlijk m'n beste vriendin
ik moet het echt weten
ik red het zo niet,
ik doe steeds zo stupid
(telkens als hij me ziet)
We zijn aan het sporten
ik loop met de bal
als hij nou voorbij loopt, doe ik net of ik val
hij heeft niets gezien, hij kijkt zelfs niet om
ik weet nu zeker, hij vind me vast dom
Refrein.
Het gebeurd me elke keer
en altijd doet het me zeer
nooit stel ik de vraag: zeg zie jij me graag
het gaat me nooit lukken
ik blijf altijd alleen
Refrein. 2x
The song "Stupid" by Tess is about the feeling of insecurity and lack of confidence when it comes to expressing feelings towards someone you like. The singer experiences butterflies in her stomach every time she sees this person and wonders what to do. She is afraid to be vulnerable and fears being rejected or appearing foolish. She questions who she can turn to for advice and struggles to find the courage to ask the person if they like her back. The singer recalls situations where she has tried to impress the person but feels like they are not noticed, making her feel even more inadequate.
The repetition of the word "stupid" throughout the song highlights the singer's feelings of self-doubt and frustration with herself for being unable to express her feelings. The chorus is an expression of her desperation for someone to help her figure out how to approach the situation. The repeated line "I do so stupid" emphasizes the singer's self-blame and regret for not taking action.
Overall, "Stupid" is a relatable song about the struggle of confessing your feelings towards someone and the fear of rejection. It highlights the importance of having a support system and the resilience it takes to keep trying despite previous rejections.
