Nervous? She's been a performer for over 20 years I'm sure she's already overcame that

[@katg5547]

​​​@@rocklover3300Tell me you're not an artist without telling me you're not an artist. Even when you have a lot of experience you might feel anxious and nervous, that doesn't go away, plus she hasn't done it in a live big audience, specially in these type of shows in a long time, plus, she did sound nervous at the beginning of the song, but she sounded great.

I want the makeup. I want the eyeshadow.

[@debbieparnell7582]

At first I thought that too - but I noticed it's slightly different... blue-green this time and the original video is more emerald over black - which I think is the ultimate colour. It seems like kind of a trademark for her to do vibrant eye makeup and she especially suits it.

Her lack of grace while "dancing" is iconic and probably one of her best trademarks.

[@bdf2199]

Even in the music video, she is very obviously not the best dancer which is why her winning is all the more amazing

[@katealison6087]

It's definately her thing. But the choreography here was jaw droppingly good. To co-ordinate 10-15 people doing individual moves, which all come together as a fascinating, collective view is just amazing. And to style it in the "Saltburn" theme too - just fantastic. The choreography and the great song both held Sophie's rather "still" physical performance together.

[@maratsmirnov]

I haven't watched Saltburn and likely won't, yet Sofie Elis Baxtor is capturing my attention since a long time. From the moment I first heard her singing "I know, I know, I know..." more than two decades ago, I recognized her exceptional talent. She's not only a stunning woman and mother of three, with her oldest already 19 - time flies! - but also possesses remarkable vocal and dance skills. Her Charleston on Strictly Come Dancing is a performance I revisit often, still wondering why it didn't secure her the win. Her home concerts during the pandemic on KZbin are unforgettable. In times of sadness, her songs like "Take me home" and "Me and my imagination" uplift me, her voice kindling a belief in the better angels of our nature. The success she enjoys now is undoubtedly deserved. Despite the passing years, Sophie's energy and shape are impressive. I'm eagerly hoping for her next tour to come to Bonn or Cologne, Germany. Experiencing her performance live would be incredible. Sophie, you truly are the best!
