Vocal Coach Reacts to Molly Sanden 'Husavik' (My Home Town) My Marianne Eurovision

[@veravik8901]

This girl Molly is awesome. She once had a million dollar contract in the US, she could have been a big star but she said no after the americans told her to loose weight and change her style and be more like a diva. She packed her bag and left and moved back to Sweden.

[@ariellegolas4508]

Wow!!!! I will respect her forever for that wisdom and strength of hers. She is special and unique person and a real artist. 🤗😊😚😚Never change beautiful woman!

[@halsyngher9308]

I call BS on this. There are many thick curvy women in the US with recording contracts that are extraordinarily successful.

Molly is one of the biggest artists in Sweden!! She has some others song in english, even if she most sings in swedish.

[@michalvarga8515]

And her Swedish stuff is arguably far superior to her songs in English. My Swedish is non-existant (400 words according to Duolingo, I cat talk about turtles a lot), but I love Större, Det bästa kanske inte hänt än, Utan dig, and so on.

speak the truth her. I actually like "Running with the wolf" as well but it is quite short and I feel we have been robbed of that song.

@Drought Star She's Swedish, that's close enough. We're just close relatives. And I feel truly sorry for you that you have to learn Danish. Johan Glans has already explained why. You can probably get some allies in the Finns, but then you tell them: "You're lucky. At least you didn't have to learn Danish."

[@mauddescamps7572]

discovered her two years ago and the rest of the world should know more about her. After all having song in other language is not a problem when emotion are well performed. But I feel that her songs (the few I know) don't make justice to her talent. I like her work but now I have a HUGE respect. That is work and talent here!

Im an veteran police officer 14yrs turned nurse 2yrs and im balling my eyes out over a movie I thought was going to be a C grade comedy 😭😭😭

[@mauddescamps7572]

because of Ferrell? Though too but I needed some kind of Eurovision to make up for its cancellation? It was a great movie to get out of reality. It is inaccurate at time and sometimes thee is some scenario logic that are missing (why held in Edinburg while they say that everyone dislike the UK, are they implying a Scotxit?). Despite the dumb and bar jokes (like in "Your Majesty") it was in made a well balanced manner. Nice movie for entertainment ;)

You should check out her song ”rosa himmel” (pink sky) she sung for the Swedish Netflix original ”Quicksand”. It’s beutiful!

[@archiepollock9060]

Is himmel not heaven in most germanic/scandic languages? I haven't checked with translate or anything but I know in Dutch it is hemel for heaven and lucht for sky. I've checked the song out it, its beautiful thanks for the suggestion.

[@mikaelastaaf]

@@archiepollock9060 a more accurate translation of the song would be "pink sky" , not heaven. "Himmel" can mean both heaven and sky, it's the same word in Swedish. It is however accurate that himmel means heaven in most germanic/scandic languages.

Archie Pollock Yeah, as Michaela said. But in this song she sings that the sky is pink (like a sunset) :)

What makes it even more special is that you can really feel moved by the studio version! Her emotion and voice just seep through and manage to grab you which is something really that we only feel with live performances. Such a special song! Love your take on things.

I recommend you start with "Sand", "Det bästa kanske inte hänt än" and alot of internationals fell in love with "Rosa himmel" that she sang in the Netflix show "Quicksand". If you wanna hear one of her english songs I recommend "Like no one's watching" from five years ago before she started doing mostly swedish songs (and I do prefer her in swedish, gotta admit, lol)

It happens every time. I can’t think of any other song that has done this to me repeatedly. When she sings in Icelandic it makes me cry. I don’t cry at anything normally.

[@pbk1989]

Molly Sandén is one of THE most talented singers in the whole of Europe. Stumbled across her on Myspace (when that was a thing) back when she was just releasing her Debut and I've been hooked ever since. Criminally underrated as an artist. She has put out so many fantastic songs in both English and Swedish. Her biggest "moment" is probably from Melodifestivalen 2012 (Sweden's Eurovision selection process) where she sang the breakup anthem 'Why Am I Crying?' with such an incredible emotional performance in the final. Made that little bit more momentous when you realise that her ex is sitting in the audience as the 2011 representative potentially having to hand her the crown for singing about how she no longer needs him. (Of course Loreen spared Eric's blushes but that would have been a true moment)

First time I heard about Molly Sandén was back in 2006 ( I think) when she represented Sweden in Junior Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Det Finaste Någon Kan Få" (The Most Beautiful Thing You Can Get) in which she placed 3rd. She has since participated in the Swedish election show called Melodifestivalen (4 semis, 1 second chance round and 1 grand final) 3 times with the songs "Så Vill Stjärnorna" (So Wants The Stars) (11th), "Why Am I Crying" (5th) and "Youniverse" (6th), all three times reaching the finals but never placing top 3. She's however one of the biggest Swedish artists and released several songs that has topped the Swedish charts and I would personally recommend songs like "Freak", "Satellite" or "Sand" if you want something in Swedish :)

[@ernapomrenke8054]
