Sanna from Sweden (or Sanne, as she’s misspelled in the official programme) is ready to go on Tuesday night. The’s little here that needs further rehearsal from her side. It’s as sleek, polished, professional, fragile, dated, dull, or brilliant as your personal bent.
I’ve warmed to this a lot. There’s both an improved power and brittleness to her vocals since Melodifestivalen which enhances the performance hugely. It’s simply, and slightly dramatically, staged with the cone of spotlights caging her until they fall away to span over the audience in the second chorus. It’s dark, with Sanne today in a short black dress, her Scandinavian blonde bob picking out her face against the moody backdrop.
It should be a safe top 10 or so for the Swedes. It will continue to divide opinion too.
