@@MyLolle There are some native tribes that hunt whales, sure. It’s what they’ve been doing for thousands of years. It’s part of their culture. While I, personally, am not fond of this practice I also don’t think I have any right to tell the native people of this land what is right. I’d also add that there’s a pretty huge difference between a native tribe hunting a few whales per year and commercial whaling. I’d also also add that the overwhelming majority of Alaskans do not hunt or eat whale.

Molly is definitely an artist that deserves all the recognition she has received from this song. Safe to say I will be following her career from now on !!!! Beautiful voice!

[@elincarlsson6388]

Go back and check her earlier work, the Swedish is amazing. Rosa Himmel. (Pink sky.) Sand. Utan dig. (Without you.) Större. (Larger.) The album 'Det bästa kanske inte hänt än' (The best might not have happened yet.) Also English songs like 'Like No One's Watching', 'Freak', 'Phoenix'.

[@juliannetaggart5720]

As an American I truly believe she is one of the best vocalists I have ever heard. Molly has an amazing voice and I can’t believe she isn’t more internationally known. I’m so happy I watched Eurovision movie on Netflix.

Julianne Taggart she turned down a contract with an American label a few years ago after they asked her to loose weight

[@juliannetaggart5720]

IAM MAEL the talent we lost but she made a name for herself bc she is amazing. That is all that matters.

[@janandersson5773]

She did like Robyn, decided to go her own way. I guess that’s the way to do it ... if you’re talented enough.

[@adasga]

@@PMX-DOG- I wouldn't say an international superstar, that's a bit too much.

[@elincarlsson6388]

She travelled to the US to do work there but was told she was to fat and needed to lose weight to make it there. So she packed up and went home and wrote the song 'Freak' and 'Phoenix'. She struggled with her own self image for a time. She's competed in the Swedish ESC 'Melodifestivalen' at least 2 times I can recall. And her Swedish work are all amazing. 'Rosa himmel' 'Utan dig' 'Sand'.

Agree.....it's not just a comedy....I loved it ....& I usually avoid Will Ferrell movies......But if you watch 'Kicking and screaming '......it is a similar comedy with an underlying serious story.

Molly Sanden is another one of those “And WHY did I not know about this amazing singer until....?” Eurovision hopefully will put her on a bigger global stage and nobody would blame her for staying in Wonderful Scandinavia! A beautiful woman with a beautiful voice.

She has competed in the Swedish version of Eurovision (Melodifestivalen) she just didn't win it and therefor didn't qualify for ESC.

When I was young, the only music you got to know about was played on the radio - sometimes, you could hear something different on a late night show, or take a chance on an unheard import. Times are good now - we can have the gift of song from all over the world. So, I thank you, internet, for bringing me this treasure of a singer and her songs. Molly is wonderful!
