Lisa Nilsson was superior at the premiere.

With that said:

This year, the program cannot fail.

“This year, the program cannot fail.”

No, I have not had a heat stroke. After all, it is autumn.

But when nothing is the same, “Much Better” becomes an anchor in television programming.

There is a security in being able to see something that never really changes, year after year after year after year. The program fulfills the same function as Kalle Anka on Christmas Eve. Whatever happens, a pixie will stand there and paint the chess boards with a couple of quick strokes.

In any case, you can trust him.

A lot of chickens can be forgiven for sitting back and laughing during the season premiere.

Above all, the dinner table in “Much Better” gives a nostalgic picture of what it might be like before the pandemic. Being able to get together and cook a carefree dinner while listening to live music hasn’t been an obvious part of everyday life since mid-March.

At a time when concert halls are being rebuilt into paddle tennis rooms, “Much better” will be a small consolation.

In light of that, it is possible, for example, to forgive a group of chickens who sit and laugh during the season premiere. I’m not talking about the participants here, but about real poultry. It probably should be like this.

The production could almost have put a hood on a chair.

Some Notes:

Plura Jonsson is with this year again. He’s done this before and it shows. It does not need blows. You don’t need the money. You don’t even have to play theater in front of the camera. He doesn’t care much about anything at all. And why would I do it?

The production could almost have put a hood on a chair. Has anyone noticed a difference? The answer is not entirely clear. Which, of course, made the video an overnight sensation.

He’s one of the veterans who hits a home run

So it is not possible to get away from how important artists are Silvana Imam Y Markus Krunegård it’s for the show. Without them, it would have been relatively easy to change the name from “Much Better” to “Antikrundan” again. Imam really just needs to be seen in the box for this year’s season to be somewhat different from previous years.

But it’s one of the veterans who hits a home run. before Lisa nilsson singing her performance, it’s hard to notice at all Ana Diaz. Later, many learn to Google their name.

When an established star lifts up a more unknown artist in this way, there’s no reason to complain. If the show has a soul, then it was best represented by Lisa Nilsson.

A great little moment in a big and strange year.

Song rating

“City in the light” (Tommy Körberg)

When Körberg plays Markus Krunegård, the distance between the rock band Kent and the music scene is staggeringly small. Tommy is designed for “Much Better”, but what do you call this? A left hand job?

“A slow farewell” (Benjamin Ingrosso)

Ingrosso used to scratch the cormorant between the 70s and 80s when he made music. Here the clock turns to an American from the 90s. The soul chorus is the icing sugar of a seed and the treasure of the cover.

“Someone has taken Maria” (Plura Jonsson)

Excellent selection of songs. But at the moment, Plura seems to be trying harder when she bakes cake.

“You bother me a lot” (Silvana Imam)

The idea that Silvana Imam would one day play Markus Krunegård on TV4 didn’t even exist a few years ago. But now we are here. And whatever the Imam does, she sounds like herself.

“See her” (Markus Krunegård)

The indie vampire makes a perfect debut on the show. Or as Benjamin Ingrosso would have said: “This is quite legitimate.”

“Our little town” (Ana Diaz)

Adorable little gem from Eldkvarn’s long-forgotten album “Pluralism”. The most surprising thing is how much the music and Ana Díaz right here remind us of Petra Marklund.

“100” (Lisa Nilsson)

The version had been included in their best album of the 90’s. You are not allowed to write something similar very often on the songs of “Much better”. By making “Hundra” his own, Nilsson elevates Ana Díaz to the spotlight in a charming way.
