Since you mentioned that her voice has Disney quality: Molly actually is the Swedish voice of Rapunzel in Tangled. Her sister is the Swedish voice of Anna in Frozen. 😄

[@Commander_Cat]

wow that's cool! So fun for them too!

[@stianlindberg85]

And High School Musical 2

[@gskskdkkf1706]

Dope

[@ages6592]

When I watch Frozen with my kid I always think about the missed opportunity of having two actual sisters singing Anna (Mimmi Sandén) and Elsa (Molly Sandén)😩 would have been just lovely but I believe Molly was not into Disney anymore at that point after Tangled…

[@ColonelStraker]

Amazing. She's Sweeden's version of Demi Lovato only not a wack job luciferian, unlike the aforementioned.

[@bmpd806]

So it’s winter in Iceland. Most people can barely breath, let alone sing because it’s so cold. She f’ing nailed this song.

[@Bayard1503]

Yup, it's probably around 0 Celsius

[@dreamystone]

​@@Bayard1503 hilarious.

[@MoreOfVico]

I think she said in a Intervju in Sweden that it was -12c that night so yeah killed it

[@gabrielsocorro1983]

Love this song

[@karljuliuz]

She's actually Swedish, so it's not her native tongue. But she did pronounce Húsavík with an Icelandic accent, for the song I guess :)

[@karljuliuz]

@EDITS oh really, that's cool

[@sydneyalmanza2768]

@EDITS she did. She mentions it on her behind the scenes for the Oscars on her KZbin channel

[@Thleepricon]

I mean Icelandic and Swedish stems from the same language

[@karljuliuz]

@@Thleepricon Well yes but why would that matter?

[@ompalompalompa2041]

How can Sweden keep producing so many incredible singers, songwriters and artists? I don't get it

[@jjh3455]

She is 100% swedish, but since the song is about husavik (village in iceland, also the venue of this live performance) she learned a couple of lines in icelandic. Her icelandic is 100% better in this live performance compared to the movie (the recorded version).

[@myran788]

Yes, theres a vlog "Behind the scenes of Husavik Oscar performance" something something - and Molly is practicing her Icelandic lines cause she said she needed to do a better job with pronunciation :D

[@ColonelStraker]

She's Sweeden's version of Demi Lovato only not a wack job luciferian, unlike the aforementioned.

[@KingJames1981]

They are phonetically somewhat similar. I mean as similar as German and English is. Most people would agree Icelandic is probably the hardest European languages to learn.

[@andersladsholm81]

@@KingJames1981 Based on experience, I'd say that Hungarian and Cymraeg are even more difficult for people to learn to pronounce.

[@mathildabacklund5976]

Fun fact: Molly Sandén (Swedish) did the vocals in the Eurovision movie but in places they were mixed with the vocals of Rachel McAdams. However, in the Húsavik song it’s all purely Molly. So, Molly was supposed to sing this at the Oscars but wasn’t admitted into the US (no work visa) & therefore they decided to go to Húsavik - the town where the movie is set & the name of this song - on Iceland to perform this song. It was pre-recorded (the kids & the musicians didn’t peform live) like all the other Oscars performances but Molly’s vocals are 100% live. She is a magical artist with emotion like no other! A few of her songs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnuoiq16abiqidk kzbin.info/www/bejne/imTWZGyMqbKop68 kzbin.info/www/bejne/narSfqquetOqfdk

[@fil0sofia]

I think the diphthongs and the switching between and chest and head voice is very common in our folk music here in Sweden and Iceland (and other countries around here). That's probably why she's singing like that. The folk vibe fits perfectly since she's singing about Husavik and the Icelandic nature.

[@Rosannasfriend]

I almost wish you had watch the recorded version, because she has a whistle note at the end which is just so crystal clear and strong.

[@Matioseqq]

It's still a head voice tho

[@MARQ.A-S]

I totally agree (it’s probably engineered for the movie.. but if she can actually do that we’re not worthy 🙌🏾!)

[@mateklof]

@@MARQ.A-S Oh, she can. They picked her because of her vocal range. In an interview I read she called those high notes her “start notes” because when practicing them as a child she saw stars. Then she thought it was magic, but now she realises she was probably just deprived of oxygen.

[@mgabi987]

Yea please record to the studio version!

[@douxbi8848]

@@MARQ.A-S pretty sure she can but I don’t think for as long as it was needed

[@NinaVdenmark]

Did you notice the northern lights in the sky?? And Molly has such a unique voice! :D Also, please go and watch the movie! Eurovision is BIG in Europe, and this was a true celebration from Will Ferrell showing all the quirkiness and fun that happens when so many different countries and cultures meet in a music event. Greetings from Denmark!

[@BH-iq3ic]

Those Northern Lights was so nice to see. I would love to see them, in person one day.

[@losfp]

I mean... the northern lights, and reflected in the colours of her shimmery gown. Whoever did the artistic design for this performance, give them all the money right now.

[@alangraham974]

Dont forget this was performed in sub zero temperature.A stunning incredible remarkable performance.

Speorg Note!

[@msCabins]

@@scott2972 Yah, I got to actually watch the movie and got the whole context 😂

[@youwish2haha]

I’ve been trying to find a video where she sings this note. Please let me know if you find one.

[@Storm_CW]

She also carries the note riiiiight the way through to the end like Tara was hoping for.

[@ColonelStraker]

Agreed. She's Sweeden's version of Demi Lovato only not a wack job luciferian, unlike the aforementioned.

Molly Sandén was trained at the renowned Swedish music school Rytmus in Stockholm, Sweden. This is public knowledge.

[@madeleinebostrom3047]

Molly is the swedish voice for Rapunzel and her sister Mimmi Sandén is Anna in Frozen 😊

[@losfp]

This is such a great performance, especially in the conditions - in the BTS videos you can see that it is FREEZING. Love this song, and Molly Sanden in general :) I find she just has this amazing, evocative and agile voice. Love it.

[@IQzminus2]

Like a million people have already mentions Molly Sandén is a Swedish artist. But I’m guessing she was chosen exactly for the reason that the Scandinavian countries like Sweden and Iceland are closely related and have a lot in common. Molly Sandén is probably among the biggest pop artists in Sweden, she is pretty pure Swedish pop, and have been so for a long time. She got her break really young, and her whole thing her whole career have been that she is such a great singer, with really impressive vocals. She also grown to become a really quite impressive song writer, and mostly sings in Swedish. It’s interesting to see you mention vocal techniques and make associations to things like American country music, while to me it just something that is something I’m very used to from Swedish pop and Swedish musical theatre. And like others have mentioned, the Disney note was pretty spot on, as she was I believe both the voice actor and vocalist for the songs for Rapunzel in the Swedish dub of Tangled.

[@rexuz2482]

Iceland isn't a Scandinavian country.

[@jez76]

Think it was Will Ferrells decision. He spends a lot of summers in Sweden (swedish wife) and probably knew about her. And yeah, doubt anyone outside the nordics could’ve done the icelandic parts. I’d say 99% of the world can’t do the “u” in Husavik. Funny enough, in this version Molly does the “international” Hooo-sa-week, while the original recording has the Scandinavian or Swedish “u” (hew).

[@birchleaf]

@@rexuz2482pends…. true, geographically it’s not, but Icelandic is a Scandinavian language, and because Iceland was populated by Norwegians and for a long time was under Danish rule, they have strong cultural ties to Scandinavia. It is more correct to refer to it as a Nordic country, but people confuse Scandinavian and Nordic all the time.

[@AllGreyEverything]

The crescendo in the last note, before the run, causes her natural vibrato to fall out in a really beautiful way. It's like saying "oh, you thought I was done...I got something extra for you." When you expect it to just be a fade out, she pushes. I think I like it, but I'd have to hear it the other way to be sure.

[@ColonelStraker]

Nice. She's Sweeden's version of Demi Lovato only not a wack job luciferian, unlike the aforementioned.

[@amandah.6531]

Sitting here, all proud being swedish because of molly and her amazing voice 😅😍

[@n0namesowhatblerp362]

Girl girl, hunny, omg...i cant believe you as a vocal coach hast heard of the euroviosn! ENjoy there is more than 50 years of entertainment

[@Myrslokstok]

Like being a professional in sport and never heard of Superball. She was probably handpiced to sing this kind of Eu 🇪🇺-vision song contest song.

[@billy05ism]

You should listen to her vocals from the studio version of this song her last tone is incredible giving me the chills all the time!

[@putteloveer]

Molly wasn't originally chosen to do the voice over, they just asked her to record a sample version but and as soon as the producers heard her voice they wanted her. I totally understand why, she has an amazing voice and is very popular here in Sweden. Love Molly 😍

[@Erik-zx7tc]

She sang the song at the Oscars because the song was nominated for an Oscar.

[@zl6444]

Please watch ‘Song Along’ from Eurovision. Since I know you dig mashups. It’s from the same movie and is by far the best track on the album.

[@SailorYuki]

Her name is Sandėn so pronounced Sandeen. Also, as just about everyone here has stated, she is Swedish. And an amazing singer. Eurovision has many great songs and artists, you already reacted to some of them like Loreen and Lordi. I think you'll like Eurovision song contest: the story of Fire Saga. Also, react to Ja ja dibg dong. 😎

[@skatefan78]

This past year, I played this song SO MANY times (and I never even saw the movie either). Molly's honesty and emotion just really comes through in her vocal choices. I really wanted "Husavik" to WIN the award for Best Original Song, and was SO disappointed when it didn't. Keep reacting to other European and Eurovision artists!

[@Jen.V843]

Tara, thank you for reacting to Molly Sandėn! I started with Husavik and have now listened to every song of hers. I recommend the following: - Rosa Himmel (live acoustic) - Freak - Phoenix - Youniverse

[@Rosannasfriend]

She went into a straight tone in order to do the melisma which was in the same breath as the sustained note. So she didn’t just go into a straight tone to hold a straight tone, she was going into a straight tone to do the melisma.

[@gemmamartin5157]

Ha I knew you were going go call her out when the vibrato dropped in the long held note before the run/riff. This song gave me goosebumps. I heard this performed on the Eurovision and loved it then.

[@MrPicky]

In regards of the final note then it was pretty cold outside and I do think something like that can have an affect on the voice. Still Molly did an awesome performance and finally we Icelanders could hear her pronounce Icelandic correctly 👍
