It’s an incredible country and I have only been there once. Even in remote towns where few people understood my English everyone was kind and patient to me. Definitely worth a visit once the pandemic passes.

I didn’t expect i could cry on this simple yet honest ang powerful comment! 😭😭😭

Dammit, now I feel homesick for Sweden. I know where I'm going on my honeymoon now!

TJ Doran I think you mean Iceland

That's deep

lmaoooooo im in tears xD

I UPVOTED TOO AND I DISAGREE WITH YOUR STATEMENT! BUT I STILL WANT TO ONLY HEAR JA JA DING DONG AND IT WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH! IT WAS A WONDERFUL SONG BUT IT WILL NEVER BE BETTER THAN JA JA DING DONG! PLAY JA JA DING DONG! NOW!

I was great but did you hear JA JA DING DONG???,???!!

"PLAY JAJA DING DONG!"

Lmao

It wasn't that good. She held the mic too close to her mouth that for anyone who sings would know would not have allowed for clear sounds. She needed to watch how pros sing live and mimic their mannerisms.

Ээ0

What is cool is that Will Farrell did the actual backup singing on this song!

Really, was Rachel just Lip Syncing?

The vocals in the film are actually a mix of Rachel and Molly’s voice apparently

I absolutely feel what you just put to words there, and with great precision, i might add. On a further note, i also got a crush with Rachel so bad. Shes got that smile that haunts your dreams forever.

My favorite people in the world are you honest internet people. You're great! God bless.

@@airnidzo And the bit where she stands all battered and bruised and says 'I wrote that song for you...

Lmfaooo! I had to hide from my parents cus I didn’t want them to see me crying 😂😂😂

Same

unbelieveable voice

I rather believe it was Rachel Mcadams singing.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bbipoJR215bQln0.html

Word!

Very true

Glad I’m not the only one! 😂

He's great too in "stranger than fiction" singing and acting... Had a very moving scene..

This makes me cry more than anything else. I have no idea why. Byt i become a monster of snot and tears. I am a 50 year old man.

@@Bananiello Still gets me every time!

The secret is to have a lot of a good singer and very little of Will Ferrell

😂😂buh i love jaja ding dong

I love you 🤣🤣

PLAY JAJA DING DONG!!!!! 😂

JAJAJAJAJAJAJ! 😂

Olaf & his Icelandic friends ...LOL

She represented Sweden in junior eurovision and came third!

We all love her! But for some odd reason she doesn't enter Melodifestivalen with a great song. Many of her other songs are huge hits in Sweden!

Unfortunately, now it is likely she will never get in. Being associated with this movie will give her an unfair advantage since it was officially sponsored by Eurovision. Probably better in the long run though because this movie will live on, while most Eurovision fame fades fast unless you are the next ABBA.

If she had enterered with something like this she would have won Melodifestivalen for sure

@@Mrvanderspank probably someone else who wrote the song.

I can sing like her, but I'm too scared to sing. Be grateful for your confidence.

Ptti

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sing all the time, learn to feel your diaphragm, breathe in as though you're trying to pull air out of a cylinder extending from your mouth to the sky. People are usually much more capable than they think.

Hahahah best comment!

I agree, he's wonderful, so funny, I recently read it has taken him over 10 years to have it come to fruition. Dedication

@@sarahcowan1489 and he was fan og Eurovision befor IT got famous in US ,first time he did see IT .He said IT should be a movie

Dude if you like that mood stranger than fiction it's hands down his best movie on the romantic genre

Agree!!!

What’s crazy is this should go on theater again. They would likely beat their initial box office numbers

Omg same!

"We need more pure things in this world." Nothing "pure" about reason, tolerance and hard work. That's what we *really* need more of in this world. The things you mention is for free and is plentiful. Well, maybe not for you.

You are not alone! Tears of joy! tears of happiness, tears of purpose and fulfillment! This is what I feel too! This song is the best ever happened to a mankind on this crazy covid infected world! There is a hope! There is a God and Hometown awaiting our eternity on Earth and in Heaven.

Lol "the girl singing". You're commenting on her channel, it would've took you two seconds to look it up.

that feeling watching this and tearing up is really interesting, and yeah a lot of kids felt that when they listen do Disney music or watch the movies. I think in that moment you are so happy that you get overwhelmed and your body doesn't know what to do so it starts crying

I saw in an interview that she actually did sing it and they put My Marianne's voice over it.

Yeah choir, but Molly Sanden need All proud Here!

Agreeeee

👍

H1NDR4NC3 *Molly Sanden

Some quota song won((

Most people, I would say somewhere in the region of 99% of the planet, doesnt know who won any award, during any year. Its not relevant to pretty much everyone, uncluding you. Why would you prefer that thousands of people you don't know, who have vested interests in the result, disagree with you? Also it didn't deserve the oscar because it didn't win, if it was deserved it would have won. The oscars arent about who is the best but about who can be used the best. Two black people won years ago for mediocre roles. The year previously people made a fuss over black people not winning the big awards enough. Then two black people won the next year. One is a bad actress at the best of times and the other has had maybe a dozen better roles before the film they won for. Dicaprio won because he hadn't won before and was overdue. The movie he won for was ok, but not great. Doesn't matter. Leo would be happier with an award and we can slap "starring academy award winner" on the posters. Just this past year we had two Asian winners and a previously sexually assaulted former superstar. Thats because a couple years people bitched that asians weren't getting their fare share and Me Too gave Frasier a bump. Nothing against any of the winners but they arent winning on merit, its just attempts at social justice from the wealthy elite. Keep on watching though. I bet there will be an LGBTQ winner in the next couple years. Probably a trans person in a trans role in a movie that isn't very good but hits some good social notes.

They prefer to give Oscar devilish Sam instead. Oscar has become a political weapon and used to suit the puppeteers whims

Fight For You From Judas and the Black Messiah. (I've never heard it... But it CAN'T be better than Husavik)

I listened to it. It's OK. Not a bad song. But it's not even close Husavik... I get goosebumps and blurry eyes every time I hear it.

x2

plottwist. Neither does she.

when the camera changes to the Icelandic actors and the one guy says excitedly 'she's singing Icelandic' and the joyous expressions of those actors.. That wasn't acting.. That was pure love and pride. The buildup of emotion, for me, was overwhelming and when the high note was hit and finished.. It all came out. I did cry a bit. No shame

@@an0nhubbard yes it was acting

Yeah when he said “she’s singing in Icelandic!” I was like “oooh shit, here comes some tears.”

I don't think anyone's wondering. Two giant whales jump out the water and do a little spin early in the movie. Lololol

Iceland and Japan really loves Whales. Loves to hit them with harpoons I mean.

@@DanHammarstrom And America loves kids. Loves to treat the bullet wounds with very high priced doctors I mean.

Y 20 X I mean, there are lots of people commenting about it. Just thought I’d give that little bit of info. I don’t think people know that Husavik is a whale-watching town based off of the whales jumping but maybe I’m wrong :D

Dan Hammarström whaling and whale-watching unfortunately exist in the same places, yes. :(

Amen Brother 🫶

Pozdrawiam z Polski piękny kawałek

So it isn't, is it? Something not seen at Eurovision for 20 years can't be more Eurovision than what HAS been seen at Eurovision for 20 years. You didn't really think that through, did you?

larger than life

@@markfox1545 you sound fun at parties

Except for last 2 years Iceland has killed more than 1500 whales since 2003 .. hopefully tourism will bring more good than killing them. Now Norway is the main “killer” along with Japan.

TeooeT they’re not ruthlessly destroying them though. It’s like hunting here in the states, you’ve got to manage your resources.

@@anastasme I think that's exactly why they included that lyric. She's singing about Husavik specifically, where they do protect and allow whales to live. And there in particular, a highlight is whale watching, instead of hunting. Even the biggest whale museum in the world is in that town.

Are whales really gentle people?

@@psammiad well you can think of it in two ways. The simpler explanation is bad sentence structure. "They" refers to the Húsavík townsfolk, not the whales. Whales in their town can live cause they aren't hunted by the gentle townsfolk there (perhaps unlike in other parts of Iceland). Think of it written instead as: Where the whales can live---- cause they're gentle people in my hometown (Húsavík). Second explanation is the whales are likened to gentle "humans" themselves and thus should not be killed. I mean they're often referred to as "gentle giants" themselves. 😊😅

Now she is! Very talented swedish singer molly Sand’en! 💕

Molly Sandén is famous. At least in Sweden and Europe, now the world.

Personally i have know about her for a few month now and I knly watched the movie today, i am from South Africa

I’ve been a fan of Molly’s since she was on JESC in 2006. I’m really happy to see that she’s reaching an international audience. She’s very talented and genuinely a very nice person.

Molly is very popular in 🇸🇪, everyone know who she is in Sweden. One of my favorits artist from Sweden

And such a brilliant Swedish singer!

@@annicaesplund6613 Oh yeah, the singer is hands down brilliant.

Me too, proud to be Icelandic! And I'm not even Icelandic!

Me too!

Lucky You! :))))

Love this song, I thought the same thing , this song needs to be an oscar contender. It is perfect and pure.

I think it's up for one

Agreed I have just listened to it 3 times And Im in floods of tears.. 😢😢

Was nominated!!!... oscar the best song 2021!!!...

So happy to see it has been nominated. Now it must win.

Omg me too! Indian Canadian as well

Just that she’s not singing in real icelandic. My relatives didn’t understand a word 😹

thats not icelandic i couldnt understand a word until i looked it up...

​@johnny ember depends who you ask. As a foreigner in Iceland, I thought she was native, because her Icelandic is better than mine, but my partner is native and he said that the Icelandic parts spoiled the whole song for him, because they are really rough sounding and stood out to him in a bad way.

Feather or red dot?

Well said. Same feelings!

I really loved it too!

I can relate. I have probably seen it 200x

I really hope for a sequel. This beautiful film could and probably has brought people back from thinking of suicide.

Hello how are you Mixtra

Nah. The english ones are way better.

I also like her Swedish songs very much. But maybe it helps that I'm actually Swedish myself. 🙂

Rosa himmel är så fin... jag sjunger ofta till den, har en historia kring den också.

You're right but I love all the songs which I guess you do too. Is it just me who feels that I'm kind of Molly Sandén's fan number one LOVES HER SO FUCKING MUCH !!

Also feeling the rhythm here all the way from London and how are you there lineya

samma här!

I'm from India and it still knocks the wind out of my lungs every time she sings, I know nothing of the things she sings about but it feels magical nonetheless.

I am from Alaska and it reminds me of home too ❤️

Englishman living in a small Danish town. Totally relate to this comment - even though the only whales I saw here were porpoises. And our biggest mountain isn't even 200 metres.

She kinda is, she’s one of our most famous singers, her and Miriam Bryant

We have a ton of unknown national treasures like Molly. She's just one of about 12+ of them. Yes, we are so spoiled when it comes to domestic music, but it's a damn shame for these treasures they are not more known. Because they all deserve it. They would CRUSH the world charts given a chance, but they're not on the leash of Murican wallet PR managers.

.sCHROD1NGER Miriam Bryant och Molly Sandén definitivt inte en av våra mest kända kvinnliga sångare. Veronica Maggio är väldigt känd nationellt medans Zara Larsson är mycket känd internationellt.

@@aries3933 I think Veronica Maggio's international success is a bit unsure. She has a very special style.

Haha! She kind of is. 😂

Well, she’s the one telling a story

Rachel is actually singing. They blend her voice over Molly's in the movie. You are right she sells it.

@@shandi3051 but in an interview Molly said it was just her. She didn't hear Mcadams voice there, only in the scene when she is rehearsing in the hotelroom

@@Roxjetlagged it would literally be illegal for the production team behind the movie to lie. Ever heard of Milli Vanilli? If they say Rachel’s voice is mixed in, it’s the truth. That would be an insane lawsuit and in the states, the FTC is extremely strict about copyright matters. I think Molly just wanted to keep all the credit which puts a bad taste in my mouth about her unfortunately.

@@xoxolovechristielynn it's just Molly. There's no Rachael at all. If you knew Molly's voice you would know it's 100% her

Its an amazing movie. Didnt expect something like this when i saw Will Ferrel was playing in it.

Me to and I’m a mid age man... love all the Songs in that movie!!!

Coupled with McAdams' visual emotions gets me every time.

I feel the same!

Same 🙋🏻‍♀️

true, it is so powerfull and emotional. i wish it is fully written in icelandic

Molly who sings is from Sweden. I see Sweden when I hear this song.

Sitka, for one, is equally photogenic and not even a stretch to imagine this performance there.

@@kaijessen3654 I'm from originally from Juneau, so that's what was going through my mind as I was listening to this song. :)

Me too

I’m from Alaska as well and I imagine it as well. Alaska is beautiful. I mean Iceland is beautiful and I would love to visit one day.

let me cross my finger or hold my thumbs for this too - we here in Germany want to see Molly represent Sweden next year ♥ - amazing artist (she was outstanding in the JESC 2006) but now she is worldclass ♥

Mollydifestivalen 2021

I’m from the United States and I think she deserves to be as big or even bigger than some singers here. I can’t believe I’ve never heard her before. She’s so underrated

@@kendallnagel9324 If you want to listen to more songs by her she did Rapunzel's voice in swedish tangled😊

Jaaa!! 🙂

Fernando Ufret It’s nice to know that I am not the only one who weeps when she sings this song. I don’t why but this song gets to me.

Im not going to lie im a 29 year old male and i cried infront of the wife like a big baby 😂😂. Hits me right in the good feels

Bro, this song gives me goosebumbs every time. Such a beautiful song. This is why I love music so much. It makes even a cold hearthed person as me to actually feel something.

@@KperkIns54 I am weeping now :) Good to know that I am not the only one :)

I consider myself as quite tough, but there is something in her voice and the text that kills me complete emotionally. I listen to that song for about 48 hours now while I'm awake.

I’ve always liked Molly. But I totally agree with you, after hearing this song I’ve become one of her biggest fans. She has evolved into a world class singer and must be one of our greatest singers alive today. And that’s saying a lot!

Same here. I’m from nyköping and didnt care much until I moved back to USA and I began missing everything about sverige

p0 a good day at work and

As a Brit, she reminds me of our Adele.

That’s exactly what I was thinking!!!!

Same here! Both are strong, emotional songs.

Jaja ding dong the second best song

Easily

Also her voice is soooo beautiful!!😍

I was looking for this kind of comment! As a Swede I have little fate in me being able to properly pronounce Icelandic words! Maybe better than a non-nordic person but....glad she did it well!

Iceland Is so beatiful, i hope visit some day

Love Island.

@@DjMiBsweden It is the language of our ancestors.

I thought she is actually from Iceland ☹️ it would be much more magical 🥺

Shes really good.....and Gorgeous. Great recognition for her. But if you want to hear the best singer out of Sweden, just my opinion☺.....then you need to listen to Jonah Nilsson from Dirty Loops.

You say that until you hear Sanna Nilsén. She probably lady queen vocalist in our country. Du säger det till du hör Sanna Nilsén Hon är förmodligen honan med bäst röst i sverige ;)

Mikael Andersson jag tycker inte att Sanna Nielsen tar Molly, men det är ju en smakfråga såklart.

Mikael Andersson Hon är duktig hon också, ingen tvekan om saken. Men Molly, hon är lite bättre om du frågar mig. Liksom Sanna här ovan skriver, det handlar ju trots allt om musik/smak after all

YES INDEED ♥️🤪🤗🥰

Netflix don't get oscars

Indeed!

Damn that voice

Just what I was thinking...amazing!

Easily!

Jajajajajaja

One possible reason - they didn't take it seriously, because the film was mainly a comedy (which is to say they didn't really pay attention to it, including how much it added to the film, even re-directed and enriched the plot). Along with that, there are many who like to affirm a particular political message they like, and the song that won gave them the chance to do so... On the other hand, Lars may have given us the answer: 'Sometimes the best song is not the winning song, but a song that comes from the heart.'

@@lionsbru yeah, comedies get the short straw.

You know youre not gonna wait till next week to try again...dont even play.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Same dude, same

I figured I would get used to it also... Nope... The feels again!

same

What is speorg?

@Sean Valdehueza I don't think it's a fictional note. In their culture it might be thought like it, but with a good study and a wide voice range, you can reach it. You just gotta be as good as Molly :D

@Sean Valdehueza Ohhh yeah I understand! Yeah, I'd call it whistle note, even though it's produced thanks to the head voice

@Sean Valdehueza its the last vestiges of air from the lungs and in some peoples eyes the purest if it can be controlled

Whales invented it and gave it to a rare few people.

They don't give prizes to "made for Netflix" movies.

@@darkiee69 It might end up winning some Emmy or other...

@@darkiee69 Hate to break it to you but Netflix original movies are counted just like those that studios put into theaters in regards to the Academy Awards. In fact Netflix had the most nominations for the 2020 Awards, with A Marriage Story and the Irishman leading the way.

@@darkiee69 What about "Roma" by Alfonso Cuaron? Oscar Best Director

Maybe dont, eurovision its an awful contest has degenerated with the years and the most time the winners arent the best. Pastora Soler was the best song and singer in her year and dont win.

If the singer would sport a beard or be as thick as she is long or put some other kind of freak show on display then yes

This years eurovison was f up. Its like the best songs got leastest point both from the judges and the people voting. I dont watch eurovision much. But my first reaction this year when the point was counted was that something is wrong. Songs like italys and finlands are awsome rocksongs But that type of music allways hits rock bottom in eurovison. And songs like sweden, uk and schweiz allways win. This year things was totally random.

@@ghrey7295 Loreen with Euphoria deserved her 1st place.

Not if it was sung by an English girl lol - Nil Pwa

Do you mean like competing...?

@@Abc-ob4jh i think they mean guest appearing

Ok

OFFICIAL ESC , they would be an amazing interval act , rivalling Riverdance and Mans and Petra’s “Love,Love,Peace”

He did eurovision justice with this film. Hilarious and spot on. I love eurovision because of great songs like this.

Same here from 🇺🇸

It was absolutely robbed of the Oscar that year. Noone remembers the song that won. This song is still being watched over and over...

Potwierdzam z Polski Oscar jak nic pewnie za obrażanie USA przez Islandczyków

Also felt the rhythm all the way from London here and which country are you from Rachelle

I felt the same! Got serious never enough vibes but this song hits the feels.

Yeah you read my mind... the beginning reminded me of that as well... gmta 😉 though I especially love the live tryout version of "this is me" where you hear hugh jackman react when she hits the emotional part...

Yes, sir. That is also a very good musical score.

What movie is this?

Euovison

this verse makes me cry.. wonderful lyrics as an ode to your hometown 🥺😭

thanks for this translation.

I was really curious what it meant, thanks for the translation

Is that your new hymn?

@@yannikoloff7659 No. But jaja ding dong is!

Me too! Thinking this was a stupid movie! But It made my heart soft and now I love it!

i think something is a bit off with it overall, it wasnt funny enough ,they had 2 hours of it too. but for someone who loves Eurovision who was gonna pick holes, I thought it was pretty good.

Agreed! I felt like it was a fun silly little movie to get my daughter to laugh while we’re home so much and then the end went in hard for all the feels.

🎤💯 That heavenly voice is none other than Molly Sandén! Other incredibly beautiful songs by her: Freak, Like a Phoenix, Sand, Rosa himmel, Mirage, Det bästa kanske inte hänt än, Like no ones watching, Den som e den, California dreams, Större, Rygg mot rygg, Va det då, Utan dig, Youniverse, Ingen som jag, Undanflykter, Satellites, This party, A little forgiveness.. PLUS she also sang Rapunzel songs in Disney’s Tangled (Swedish). 🇸🇪 🏰

Not yet. It has been shortlisted as one of 15 songs. March 15th the final 5 nominés will be anounced. (Oscars moved from 28th of Feb. to 25th of April.) Really hope it gets the final nomination 🤞

Now it's officially nominated 😊

@@isabell138 Yay! Awesome 🤩👍

Im holding back my teardrops every time
