Vocal Coach Reacts to Molly Sanden 'Husavik' (My Home Town) Live at Oscars - Eurovision Fire Saga

[@eddyk3]

It should have won the oscar 1- Because it was the best song. 2- Because it was the only song of the 5 nominated to actually be in the film.

[@wonderlanddreamer1021]

The Oscars are a joke honestly. Sometimes the voting comity doesn't even see all the movies they are voting on. I doubt they gave much attention to the movie. A shame really but not a surprise.

[@BrianKlidies]

It lost to an affirmative action song which is simply racist by the academy. The winning song is horrible.

It is live, i was there doing security while they filmed it, she is a excellent singer, first thought the were playing a recording on set but when she stopped singing and talked in the mic in-between takes and doing practice singing, it is a job well done :)

[@wouter913]

omg that must have been weirdly amazing to watch from a distance with the fireworks

[@discogareth]

Being Swedish, she’d be used to singing in large outdoor venues in the cold. Live singing is what Swedes do well. It’s the norm.

[@ehmzed]

Wow you're right. (4:45 for anyone wanting to watch and listen to that beautiful part again)

[@Arek.Arkadiusz]

Or just by seeing it beforehand.

[@MrAdrianternida]

This is a better version compared to the movie. Her performance was a show stopper. I can feel the authenticity of the town and the lyrics describing the town is true to its nature.

[@tilda3262]

Even if they did some work on her vocals after the video was recorded I, as a swede, can testify that she sounds exactly the same in real Life. I’ve been to her consert in Gothenburg Sweden and she was absolutly stunning❤️

[@mathildabacklund5976]

She sang live (with post-work done to eliminate background noises) but the kids were pre-recorded & the music obvs isn’t live either. I know that she’s live because when she smiles I can hear her ”smile” in the vocals. When she’s singing the very last ”Husavik ved Skjalvanda”, she chokes up & there’re tears in her eyes. You can hear that in her voice! 😭 (shaking a lil bit) Btw, ALL Oscars performances were pre-recorded (with post-work in background noises) this year but there’s still no question that Molly sang that right then & there!!! 🤩 Side note: don’t miss the real deal northern lights who decided to appear in the sky... 😍✨

[@antbay92]

The smile and smile vocals were extremely cute!

[@mathildabacklund5976]

@@antbay92 I should also add that I notice that when she turns around to sing with the kids in the first chorus, there’s a slight change in the sound, which naturally happens whenever the direction of the sound changes 🤗 Yeah, her vocals are as live as they could be! 🤩

[@pbk1989]

It’s said a lot about many artists but Molly Sandén is GENUINELY so so so so under appreciated as an artist. She’s immensely talented, she has a fantastic vocal and she never disappoints live. Gutted she didn’t get the Oscar but stoked to see her at least get some more recognition of her immense Talent

[@mathildabacklund5976]

Bro, it’ll come! As far as I know, there’s been some REALLY amazing offers come her way! She says it’s a continuation of this Disney dream that is singing in the Eurovision movie & at the Oscars. I CAN’T WAIT to see what this girl has in store!!! 🤩🤩🤩

[@davidjonsson7165]

The fact that we didn't send her Youniverse to the ESC rather than the extremely lackluster "Frans - If I were sorry" is such a crime. Not only because his song was boring as fuck, but Molly had all the elements of a song that would have fit right in. And the extremely obvious argument that she's one of the best singers in modern time that Sweden has produced.

[@thinkoholic9441]

Molly went to the Adolf Fredrik music school in Stockholm as a kid, a famous elementary school were many of Swedens most talanted artist started their road to fame. Molly is one of the best singers in Sweden right now.

[@radupreda2101]

This is such a great song. She is very talented and deserved an Oscar. Unfortunately, we all know that sometimes "contests" are not very fair.

[@ZakhadWOW]

the Academy Awards arent an actual"competition" with supposedly level playing field. "Brokeback Mountain" failing to win Best Picture in 2005, losing to some piece of dreck showed the inherent homophobia in a supposedly liberal hollywood elite. One detail many people dont realize: only active, dues paying members of the Academy of MP arts/Sciences are allowed to vote, and many of them dont bother knowing what a sham the whole thing is now.

[@pamelascott7207]

The Oscars are not that big of a deal anymore....believe me I live in America.

[@hagendf]

When she looks at the kids and they all smile back. OMG

[@aaarrghdude]

One of the reasons Molly shares such an easy rapport with the kids is that she herself started singing publicly as a child. She and her sister each represented Sweden in various years of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest.

[@valakata7127]

As an Icelander I'm glad to see that they worked hard on Icelandic. In the movie most off the time you had no clue what they where trying to say now you can hear it, but there is a bit off a flaw in how they put the words together but I wont drag the performance and the effort they have put into this new version off the song down for it, the song is well done over all!

[@missy610]

This song is too good for the Oscars. It makes me cry everytime I hear it cuz there's so much emotion in the singer's voice and the lyrics are beautiful. It makes me fall in love with Husavik even though I've never been there. If a song that's able to do that to people doesn't deserve an award, I don't know what else does.

[@hannaskoog7897]

Of course She singing live!!!!

[@karinseregni221]

And the northern lights in the back! Molly was very lucky to have them popping up to match her aurora colours inspired dress. Lovely.

This is such a beautiful song. Had this song been in a Disney movie, it would have won an Oscar. But at least we all know it was the best.

[@guitarfreak585]

Just an an amateur sound guy here but all of the compression and reverb you're hearing is easy to dial in live, definitely doesn't have to be done in post. A proper sound check and she'd be sorted out. Also, sure, with a normal shure mic or something, she'd have some wind noise and things, but she does have the wind sock on it, and this is the oscars. Kari Job uses a 1500 dollar mic for reasons just like these. It's not a standard setup most of us would use normally. I wouldn't comment at all really, but when I first saw Husavik, I absolutely devoured everything I could find of hers that was live. She is an incredible talent, and I have 0 doubts she performed this live. It makes me cry literally every single time I watch it. Her voice is absolutely incredible.

[@razorcallahan3029]

The coach wrong and the performance was live

[@BrianHanifan]

Her mouth is right on that mic and yes, with the wind sock it's only picking up her and crystal clear.

I love this song so much. We're huge Eurovision fans, as well as Swedish music fans (we usually are rooting for Sweden at Eurovision).

[@jamesforgione]

[@tobiaslundqvist.71]

Molly did 3 videos, about her trip to Husavik. And as far as I can tell from them, the children were pre-recorded (altough they sing at the docks anyway.....obviously), and Molly sings live there. Of course the recording was done a week or so before the Oscars , (Molly was back in Stockholm at the actual Oscars), So I think you are right about post-editing ( background noice). But as far as it goes....-a really nice show!! And Molly is definitely live! 😊

[@Jon-xd7ng]

I'm getting goosebumps every single time I watch this performance! I'm sooo happy she got to perform this live for the whole world to see. And a great reaction video too, love your comments :)

I watched this performance a few times for the first time today and I cried each time. It's such a beautiful song, and the setting and the children singing, AND the freaking northern lights in the background, and then even the fireworks in the end, everything just makes it so memorable and emotional, it's perfect. I love it. When the children join her singing in Icelandic at 4:45 I can't keep a couple of tears from falling down, I don't even know why. Wow. And I haven't even watched the film yet. Love love love it!

Interesting side thing: a friend told me they had heaters all over the dock, but kind of hidden so the stage may have been a bit warmer. Some of the mist may have been from there. The other thing: that orchestral group--I play violin. Outdoors and in odd temperature, the strings on the actual instruments were likely slicing their fingertips up as they played. Each time we saw them up close, they were not hesitating, though. That's some tough violinists and cellists right there. Determined.
