I totally agree, even though I'm a native English speaker and don't know Swedish! I've read translations of the original to get a sense for the Swedish version, and I can tell that the original is much more powerful.
@dorkflassbury11643 жыл бұрын
The lyrics between the english and swedish versions are quite different. I think the swedish version is more powerful and better tells the story about the doubt in god that Kristina has and is more true to the book(s) by Vilhelm Moberg that is the basis for the whole musical Kristina Från Duvemåla.

Sjöholm is so much more than Streisand ever was. Streisand never got over her self-satisfaction, acquired in the 1960s. Sjöholm goes out to far greater limits vocally and dramatically. And then there’s that fantastic chemistry with Tommy Körberg, but that’s another story.

Oh no doubt about that- they're lucky to have Helen sing the English version as she knows the actual (Swedish) words, the character of Kristina & how powerful the whole piece/song is and what it's supposed to bring across better than Helen (our national treasure, bless her heart). Btw how come Kristina från Duvemåla hasn't been on stage over here (UK) - anyone know? These are the sort of moments where I wish I was a producer haha I wouldn't even need to audition people I'd know exactly who to cast 🙌🏻🎭🎬🎹🎤👤👥👥👤

Really compare her last “mad” reach fir your hand.....then song ends and she blinked back awake to the real world of the stage, that sweet and innocent smile appears. Where or how did she go? Possessed. Passion.
