After the festival, TV4 offered her an own show on the channel. The show was called "Super Troupers" which was a talent-show for kids. One of the contestants was Amy Diamond, who is now a successful singer.
In summer 2004 she released her most successful album to date - "Gone Too Long" - which included songs by some of Sweden's top producers, including Jörgen Elofsson. She also joined Robert Wells, Jill Johnson and others on the Rhapsody In Rock-tour during the summer.
