Thanks. 😊 Then I'll guess that all we (old enough) swedes are legends. 😉

She was Eric Saade's girlfriend

I still sing to Det finaste nagån kan få every now and then

I DO!!! I know her from a ling time ago!! I adore her!!!

That’s not a problem! U are still from husavik and ur amazing

No problem. Everyone is from Husavik because of this song and movie. 🥰🥰🥰

@@manda2979 thank you so much love

Ja Ja Ding Dong was the only acceptable case in which Husavik could have lost Best Song ;-)

Also Ironically Iceland probably would have actually won Eurovision for real if it had happened!! Dadi Freyr giving in to peer pressure and doing a version of ja ja ding dong was one of my fav things last year.

Ding dong!

Probably had cardi b play WAP instead

@@MMAoracle Exactly that. Too white to give an award to. This is the world we live in.

The Academy Awards will never give an Oscar to a Will Ferrell movie. Snobs.

This song as been in my heart for days and now I'm crying hear it for real 🙏💕💕

If you compare the two recordings her voice is is a lot smoother and less raw then in the version from the movie. This makes me think that in the film they mixed Rachel McAdams' voice with hers to create an ABBA-like hybrid sound that is a little rougher around the edges. Molly and Rachel actually have similar voices so this would be possible to do. That also explains why Molly is credited under her "My Marianne" middle name in the film rather than under her first and last name. I would love to hear more about where Rachel's voice was used and where Molly's voice was.

Good call!

Great observation on detail.

I noticed that. Amazing dress!

And at the end you can see the actual ones in the sky!! Magical 🥰

I want this dress lol

only realize just now??? the whole academy is a fukinc joke a long long time ago

I'm from a mid-sized city and feel this way about it, even! I really love my hometown. I think it's great how so many people all over the world feel the love in this song ♥️

I’m not crying. (I’m from a small island in Indonesia ❤️)

❤❤❤

Now I'm definetly crying...my hometown is really not special, with problably 400 people living there, it's not fancy at all. But I would never change it.

Me too. That's why I wanted to see it again.

This performance is her revenge.

you have to sign up to a satanic cult to be considered.

It’s actually a really good movie, while the scores on average were decent for the kind of film it is, it’s really better than the critic scores. It’s done with a lot of heart and sincerity and the music is of course phenomenal. It’s definitely Will Ferrel’s best movie in quite a while, and you can tell how much respect he has for Eurovision.

The children were so cute!!!

Best Pic winner the following year was from a streaming service, so…. Um, maybe there’s a different reason?

She won Junior Eurovision for Sweden when she was 15

Hey man, enjoy your work and talent. All the best!

I didn't know she is an Alien... :P

A week after and I’m here again. This is SO GOOD 😢

Agree! And this song is so perfect!

Frankly I would have been happy if they just put this in the freaking broadcast but we didn’t even get that 😡😡😡😡

Oscars Sucks

this end credits thing has become an epidemic. Same thing with the bias against comedies. Years ago, I thought That Thing You Do, another song that was integral to the actual movie, should’ve won. This performance was an all-timer.

How call the movie where the song play?

They probably knew if they put this in the actual broadcast, that it would have over shadowed all the other songs. Would have made it not winning even harder.

They have to make room for the host slapping.

It's almost as though she has perfect pitch

@@victoriabennage2190 Its more than that... she has the very rare ability to emote in her phrasing. This is what separates good singers from great singers. Good singers can have perfect pitch and hit every note, but without the ability to emote, it won't "grab the audience by the feels". Take for example "How Do I Live Without You" recorded by both LeAnn Rimes and Trisha Yearwood. Rimes sang in perfect pitch, hit every note. But when compared to Trisha's, it feels bereft of emotion.

It's called Speorg note

@@johnpauljones9310 ...but still she was told that she couldn't make it in the US because of her looks 🤷🏻‍♀️

Molly Sandén has been famous I Sweden (where she is from) for being a especially strong vocalist, since she was quite young. Extremely talented. She sings in a way that is very popular in a certain type of Swedish pop. Imagine if you had classically trained singers, maybe a bit of musical theatre too, that is pop. But in a lot of ways is quite similar to this song. But I also think Swedish singers have a bit of a free advantage, that Swedish is very suited for singing. Many singers need to work a lot of adjusting their vowel sounds while singing, so they become ones that are more easy to sing. So when speaking and singing the same word, you would need to make different vowel sounds, or you are going to have a very hard time singing. (This is also the reason why even in languages that have a lot of different accents within it. It’s almost always sang the same way, with a few exceptions) But in Swedish this isn’t the case. You can just use the sounds that you are used to using when speaking Swedish and it works great. Most of the Swedish vocal sounds are extremely similar to the sounds that researchers found are the easiest to sing. Where you have a easier time holding a note longer, keep the pitch and without tensing up. And Swedish also is also spoken with a lot of melody compared to most languages. So you use the melody of the sentence to convey what you mean more or less always more then the actual words you use. Norwegian would probably be among the most extreme in the world in its use of melody to convey emotion and intention. English is on the other side of the spectrum, and is spoken extremely monotone, little melody, few pauses or emphasis. And when I speak English because I can’t use melody when speaking, it feels like I lose most of my personality while I’m speaking. It’s to a much higher degree conveyed by what I say then how. Obviously you can still do it in English. But there are a lot less ‘tools’ available. So many Swedish singers also get a little free head start in finding how to convey emotion while singing.

Two much WHITENESS for leftist Hollywood.

@@chriskennison3471 Just say you hate black people and leave lol

YepItsThatGuy Husavik is full of joy. Oscar didnt like it. Blm might protest.

It's not diverse enough

Yes this should have won the oscar but mayby i am not objectiv i am from Europe the Netherlands.

And Molly smiling with joy as they do it!?!? Beautiful.

Her voice is amazing

I think the best part about the kids is them pronouncing the Icelandic perfectly compared to her butchering of it.

Oh haha, I thought she was actually Icelandic. Sweden should send her to Eurovisiom then.

Yep

She does, and under any circumstance as well 💪

Yes, if you attend one of Molly’s concerts this is actually what you get to hear. She’s breathtakingly good.

She is a phenomenal singer but hasn't won MelFest yet which is a shame.

And wearing the Aurora Borealis colors in her dress

Dont trust it isnt edited in, the fact that they only show it last minute kinda implies to me that it was thrown in tentatively. If it was real it would be featured a lot more, I think.

@@ots1634 I thought this too but a hotel in the town blogged about the performance and said that it was great the northern lights decided to show up for it, so it's real! Very cool!

@@ots1634 you must be not watching it on the day it was streamed. It was live and was the most beautiful performance i’ve ever watched, i literally burst into tears. No way it was edited. The concept that year was different due to the pandemic and they have to do it because of the travel restriction, etc. And still not complaining because no way it can be more beautiful than this.

@@ots1634 I think you can see it clearly in the beginning as well, look at the sky through this whole performance ^^

A song about a town that is likely 100% White...winning an Oscar? I agree the song should have won hand's down. But everything in Hollywood these days is about being "woke."

literally the worst song won lol

You are SO right the movies they nominate SUCK this should have won by a landslide

@@ronbaron4414 No, they may pick mediocre winners most times, but the whole "if it's nominated for an Oscar means it sucks" narrative is just ignorant and overblown, last year they had one of the greatest Best Picture line-ups ever, The Irishman, Jojo Rabbit, Marriage Story, Joker, Parasite, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, 1917, Ford V Ferrari, Little Women, all of them great movies. Oscars are not an indicator of quality in any way but it's not the opposite either.

TRUTH

They don’t know shit

Yes!!

Yes, I wish they had skipped the fireworks

It's like we all know they get them up there all the time, but just a casual camera pan, and oh look..... there they are.

@@alchemyst1920 Some weird song that wasn’t even that good, just had that super boring up beat vibes like litterly every single song right now (🙄) and non original (idk y I get those vibes but ye)

I know right

Technically she wouldn’t have gotten an Oscar even if the song won since she wasn’t a part of the songwriting

It’s a pity Molly didn’t get the Oscar, though H.E.R. deserved hers.

Yeah, and you can really tell how proud and happy they are when Molly turns to them when they sing the chorus together with her. The smiles on their faces in that moment is just the cutest thing ever!

It was really touching and adorable

Academy has no clue....

It was obvious which song the academy was going to award... unfortunately

@@SR-jr5nh lol the song was won was definitely not expected to win. If you bet on the song that won, you would have won a lot of money cause it was the winner with the least likely chance to win

Which surprised me because I didn’t think any part of Iceland was inside the Arctic Circle

@@terrybaker8156 I mean you can see the Northern lights outside of the arctic circle as well it's just not as common, I live in the south of Sweden and I've seen them a couple of times here. Amazing!

It wasn’t, that was a very overcast and windy night across Iceland.

It’s real alright

HER NAME IS MOLLY SANDEN!!!!!!

I Felt the same way, Just like a good Dream!

It was live from Husavik Iceland

Which countries national tresure? Sweden's tresure to have Molly the amazing singer? Or Iceland? Or what ever country produced the song and whatever country the production of the movie was in?

Literally the same for me plus at least in my country we do not care much about the Oscars

Totally Agree

We're glad to have you 🥰

And the Americans would’ve attacked Molly for being a white woman.

@@elvisherrera12 seriously? what's wrong with Americans?

@@ay3336 He's lying and just being dramatic.

... and of real Oscar songs.

Exactly! The way the Russia guy cannot be himself in his home country because he is gay is so sad but sadly true. I’m no Eurovision fan but I liked the movie.

Eurovision was once all about nonstop ballads that were sincere and deep and it was boring and tiring by the end. It still has songs like that and they've won a few years (2016, 2017, 2019, just recently!) but it's not a weakness that many are just fun. It's better entertainment by being variety.

@@occono3543 Eurovision is the most random song consuete ever. From songs from the Crimean genocide to a chicken song of female empowerment and an Italian rock song! Unfortunately there are politics such as voting for neighbours or groups such as balkans or ex-soviet. There are some really good songs though and that’s why I love it.

I'm sorry I break out the 666 likes :(

And she's dressed in the northern lights-colors!

@@sarah-annecarney7552 yuup and she was so young too :(

@@t.f.b.h That's disgusting, she is so attractive and talent off the charts. I swear the amount of middle aged managers are so out of touch with society they have no concept of what will sell anymore.

@@TheQuEeNoNhErThRoNe ooops and no. HER is a great singer song is good don't get me wrong about that. But lets stop selecting in demand just to sympathize color or race.

She probably got more coaching on pronunciation.

I was going to write a comment, but you said it all. Honestly, that voice....from the heavens.

They are so woke they decided to give the Oscar to a generic R&B song

Hollywood all about the moral signalling. This song had no chance.

The academy: it’s An Icelandic Swedish song but still white so pass.

I cry 2.

She's performed at Melodifestivalen where auto-tune is banned, her song Youniverse is probably still up on youtube there if you want to check out more of her voice! Crazy that she almost ended up actually representing her country at Eurovision (well-- kind of, she made it to the final but I don't think her song was on the podium, either way I still loved it)

This is Eurovision, though. 'Never enough' could never. Completely different vibe.

Honestly same

The big steal, as that actor from Home Alone 2 would say.

I can't believe it didn't win :(

But during confiment ñast year this song and the movie brought some much joy!!!

Social values are important and I am not taking away from the winners at all, but this song is also about social values: about the challenges that people face in a globalised world, where some feel that they have to leave their home to pursue a career and they realise that they want to be back home. It speaks to global and regional equality and inclusion, its a call to say that we can't be a society focused just on cosmopolitans. And given the challenges that democracy faces from those that feel ignored beyond these cosmopolitan entities, the message that this song delivers is a strong social message too.

@@mrgarypaterson wow. You should have submitted that to the academy awards and maybe Husavik would have won! 🌟
