Sad for Nanne, who also wrote Karlberg's song If You Think I Miss You. None of the entries will be missing in the final. Carpool karaoke was a mercy choreographed revue number. Nothing for the professionalized contemporary melon. But don't be afraid now, Nanne. Please come back soon.
I remember Christer Lindarw's tired look at the press conference after the bottom placement in Norrköping 2016. He had had enough and wanted to move on in life. Should Nanne Grönvall make the same decision, something big is lost. In interviews for tonight's program, Nanne talked about questions she received about her participation: do you really dare to compete? Now that the butcher is dead?
Yes, was Nanne's conclusion. "It's even more important now." True. Grönvall and Lindarw are the basis on which the Melodifestivalen rests. The kit in an extended TV format and between generations.
I myself queued with my tender mother in my childhood's local shopping mall for an autograph by Nanne Grönvall in 1998. My mother, who likes to praise people she does not know, said that Nanne seemed to be "a lovely person". Nanne thanked. I was eight years old and brought a CD home with me - Circus homo sapiens. Recommended listening to anyone. Genre-confused equilibrism. It taught me a lot about human smallness.
Like Christer Lindarw , Nanne Grönvall has over the years gone through a number of stages, personas - such as Lady Gaga or David Bowie. Conceptual artistry. This is what is needed in a television program. The smooth, universal pop songs take each other out. What is the Melodifestivalen that the competitor TV4's Idol is not? The answer is not just "newly written music," which the program has captured through half-sad presentation videos of the songwriters before each song. The answer is also entertainment. So - don't go, Nanne.
