Amanda Jenssen is singing for the Horn of Africa
Today Amanda and other artists will produce a song for the Horn of Africa. You can watch it live today at Svtplay at 12 pm until 5 pm. You can also hear Amanda sing a part of the song at sverigesradio.se. The song is called Ringarna på vattnet and the project's name is Kedjan.
Amanda's vocals:
Vad ska du bli om du blir stor
finns inga löften där du bor
Var med och sprid och ge tillbaks
hjälp en världs drömmar från att gå i kras
En liten gärning från en person
växer tillsammans med en miljon
Så lätt att blunda för sorg och gråt
ge dem en chans så som vi har fått

Summary of 2010
January
She had interviews with improveme.se and DN. She was the best dressed at the Swedish Grammy awards and the P3 Guld awards. She was nominated for artist of the year at P3 Guld and she won two Swedish Grammy awards; this year's female artist and this year's composer.
February
Ms Jenssen was recording in L.A. We saw Amanda in Svt's Dom kallar oss artister where she was having a christmas party. Amanda was promoting her album Happyland international on Youtube.
Amanda's 2010 tour premiere started in Uppsala February 19. We got to see Amanda's well-decorated stage and the Happyland sign in neon that hung on the wall behind each gig throughout the year. When Ms Jenssen entered the stage for the first time that year we all got blown away from how stunning she looked. She had a red blouse with a black bow on and she wore a black skirt and black stockings. With her red lips she started to sing Save me for a day.
The tour went on to Bollnäs, Gothenburg, Falun and in Uppsala again.
March
We found out that Amanda was going to release five new songs on the international Happyland album. Later on we found out that the recordings weren't new songs but new mixes on already existing songs from her album.
In March she played twelve gigs which resulted in the busiest month along with July. She started off with Sälen and then Karlstad, Gislaved, Åre, Vemdalen, Karlskoga, Vara, Helsingborg, Luleå, Kalmar, Malmö and last Stockholm.
April
We got to listen to Happyland Desert Mix for the first time. Amanda was also in Denmark and in Germany to promote her album. Autopilot was in the official soundtrack of the German movie Vincent Will Meer. A German official website was set up for Amanda Jenssen. ta.no and Gaffa interviewed Amanda.
In April Amanda had two gigs and one of them was her first gig abroad, more specifically Copenhagen in Denmark. She started with Hultsfred and then she went to Copenhagen. The Copenhagen gig wasn't like all the other gigs she'd had previous months. She only sang four songs; For the sun, Common Henry, Sing me to sleep and Happyland. The official website turned international.
May
Star Portrait spoke with Amanda and wrote about her on their website. Amanda participated in the German Viva Live!. We listened to Amanda speaking German in an elevator. We found out that Amanda was going to sing on the Swedish crown princess Victoria's birthday.
She had her first festival tour stop in her hometown Lund. She continued on with Tomelilla, Hässleholm and Aneby.

September started off with Amanda's tour in Germany. She had five gigs in Germany spanning September through October. First off was München and then Leipzig, Berlin, Köln and last Frankfurt.
October
This was the end of all her tours 2010 but she had one more surprise for us in store. Amanda had a cooperation with Loka during Summer and everybody in Sweden could collect codes that were printed under the Loka bottle caps. After you had collected the codes you should send them in to Loka's website and wait for them to tell who had won a surprise. The surprise was an intimate gig with Amanda in the Studio theatre Lederman in Stockholm. Amanda sang a new song this evening that is called My 22nd blues or My twenty second blues. She also sang two covers by Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash and she ended the evening by singing I choose you.
November
Amanda's name day was October 26 and Norrländska Socialdemokraten wrote some words about her. She was P3 Friday's focus artist. She was on Svensktoppen for 52 weeks and unfortunately missed the one-year cake. Borderline music video was released. We saw Amanda on the German Arte Tracks from the Reeperbahn Festival and also PSL on Svt Play.
