… but Helen Sjöholm still owns the tails of others

The section has three aces:

Jakob Hellman, Helen Sjöholm and Loreen.

The way that Helen Sjöholm makes entry and is in the section that really should have its own text.

Low-key and quiet dignity is rare on shows like “Much Better.” Did you see how calm and comfortable everyone else around the table became?

Today, Sjöholm has an obvious weight that is much greater than what a program format can have on TV 4.

The sand turns golden

She has nothing to prove. She hasn’t really had that since she sang in the musical “Kristina från Duvemåla”.

I hate musicals. Sorry, but I tried. The genre only works in animated films featuring Disney chandeliers with arrowheads and snowmen named Olaf.

But when Helen Sjöholm starts singing, it is impossible to defend herself. The sand turns golden. His voice is the equivalent of the painting “Grindslanten”, which should be seen as the highest form of praise.

Helen Sjöholm in “Much Better”.

There’s a reason Håkan Hellström wanted to wear her in her classic overtime after “Allsång på Skansen” in 2013. The question is whether the great Västra Frölunda singer would have become so popular that night without the guests Helen Sjöholm and Tomas von Brömssen.

You can also see how much Jakob Hellman admires her. Too bad Sjöholm rewards him with a “She Has a Path” sheet metal cover that should have been left in the shop or completely taken apart.

On the brink of a nervous breakdown

Hellman, for his part, responds with the strongest performance of the year so far. Nobody, and by that I really mean nobody, could have suspected beforehand that he would give in to “Gabriela’s song” from the movie “Como en el cielo”.

It’s not a bad idea? Not at all.

Jakob Hellman turns one of the Helen Sjöholm show numbers into a previously unreleased take on his own debut album “… and the big sea.” The music is on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

Then came Loren. As usual, she was as light and normal as the smoking centipede from “Alice in Wonderland.”

Whether it’s art or ketchup

Loreen is usually a very mysterious otherworldly visitor, and her version of Eldkvarn’s “Alice” was art or ketchup.

But when he stood on stage and began to sing, the other contestants turned into Smurfs. It’s a bit incomprehensible that he hasn’t become a world star. What went wrong?

Later it was Pluras faces a question mark:

What just happened?

If you. Loreen happened. The sequel can be comically weird no matter what.

The song ratings


“Regnet” (Ana Díaz)
Sometimes Diaz has to struggle to add a personal touch to his performances. Here it sounds like someone else. Or as someone in the crowd at the time when everyone could be anonymous in large crowds.


“You must exist” (Newkid)
Completely impossible to make the song his own. No, that doesn’t work. But the melody is very strong and it also fits unusually well on a young Swedish r’n’b from Uddevalla.


“She has a way” (Helen Sjöholm)
Instruments include a tool box and tube. Sjöholm may be a lot, but she’s not a Sundsvall Tom Waits. Its cover appears to have been created at the Roy & Rogers gas station.

“Fill my glass” (Tove Styrke)
The force has no problem impressing almost everything he sings. And how many other artists have not achieved it without knowing more than three chords on a guitar? Say hello to the Ramones.


“Gabriela’s song” (Jakob Hellman)
What’s going on here? How can a song from “As in Heaven” fit into Hellman? Helen Sjöholm’s version should be an obvious part of your repertoire.


“Alice” (Loreen)
And what happens here then? Loreen makes a trunk change in the Eldkvarn classic. Plura’s surprise really says it all. Electronic music is, in this context, from another realm. Is the song finished? Listening is not enough to judge him. But as long as Loreen performs, she will be by far the biggest star in the room.
