Looking at her here no one would ever expect how famous she'd grow to be in Sweden. So youthful, so innocent. Out of her 3 ESC participations this one is definitely my favourite.
@@ajs41She is huge in Sweden. I would say she’s the number 1 singer. Sweden has had many musical exports but Carola was strangely not one of them. She remains a Swedish artist
@@ufuksnmez98 Linda Martin's average placing is 1,5. There are only four artists who have finished in top 2 twice, and they are Lys Assia, Linda Martin, Elisabeth Andreassen and Johnny Logan.
The song may have inspired one of ABBA's comeback songs, "Don't shut me down", especially the melody in the chorus. Maybe Framling was itself inspired by an ABBA song in the first place, but either way both songs are gems .
For me, this is a very catchy song just perfect for Eurovision Song Contest, and it has a great music quality. Carola is unique; my favorite artist at this song contest.
We had a stint in the mid 80s of great ESC results. Then we lost the plot and our current Golden Age started 2010. I'm talking about results. Me personally love the early stuff better. This is a personal favourite.
@@윤기민-b5p They were all good and inspiring Artists! But then came the ultimate and unique Pop Band , ABBA !❤ They were the Best of the Best! ABBA's music is timeless and well liked and appreciated for decades... Vive ABBA !❤
That's bullshit. All music can be played live if the band/orchestra is put together the right way. Check out Mahmoods performance of "Soldi" from the 2019 Sanremo festival. 100 % live orchestra - and sounds 100 % modern.facebook.com/watch/?v=875710892777218
@@escLIVEmusic1 Which is fair, but you've never answered the question of how much an orchestra would take out of the budget, how they would learn over forty songs, and how much it would add to rehearsal time in addition to working out the choreography and technical elements of every song. Or where they'd be, since it would probably take a chunk out of the already-limited venue space unless you put them in another building or something.
I mean, Rendez-vous, I'm Never Giving Up, Främling or Hi, Play-back or Bem Bom, Hajde da ludujemo... If only we had this orchestra quality allowed for the new years... imagine Belgium or Portugal new entries with orchestra, it would be such a hit.
@@escLIVEmusic1 But no orchestra matches this one. The sound has such a lovely punch to it. The live version of this is proper "dansband" in places. I love it.
Autant je n'ai pas aimé la chanson qu'elle a interprétée en 1991 et avec laquelle, hélas, elle a gagné au détriment d'Amina avec sa superbe chanson, autant je trouve "Främling" superbe et très bien interprétée. Elle a fini à la troisième place, classement largement mérité.
True, she never lets that stop her though, in 1991 the audio also crashed during her performance but you don't even notice, she always goes on like an absolute boss
I am always surprised by the mic misfunction in the first second of the performance. I do not believe it cost her the first place, though, as the same think happened to Sandy Shaw back in 1967.
There were also technical issues when she gave a winning performance in 1991. Bad luck but ultimately she won so it didn't matter that much. 1 point more for Amina, though, and that would be a different story.
I remember my heart skipping a beat when I saw this live and her microphone didn't work during the start of the song. They fixed it really quick, but still...
How come this is an NDR broadcast with Wogan commentary from the BBC in the UK? Although I note this switches to stereo when the song starts - is it a mix of two feeds? Always impressed by the sound on the 1983 show. I don't know what they did but it has a beautiful punch and warmth to it.
James Martin On the BBC broadcast, Sir Terry talks across the start of the song by announcing its title on the opening notes, so I’m assuming it cuts to the NDR rebroadcasting of the contest some years later, hence the better quality (ARD was the producer of Eurovision that year). The same thing happens with the Sweet Dreams clip as Sir Terry erroneously says “the UK has won the contest four times, an honour we share with France and Luxembourg”. France had actually won five times. Luxembourg chalked up its fifth win that night, ironically.
Maybe the one and last time that Sweden dared to sing in Swedish. Nice entry, one of the best of the 1983 ESC and for me the best of her 3 esc prformances
@@casperrabbit7254 Well my country came second, so it's even more frustrating to me. However, not the worst Eurovision of the 80s, and definitely not best either.
@@casperrabbit7254 Greetings from the Holyland:) To me 88 was best and BBC production of 98 was among the best of all times. When are you coming back to the top 10, that's the question :)
Eigentlich ein ganz gutes ESC Jahr, aber für mich mit der absolut falschen Siegerin. Die absolute Nr 1 war füŕ mich Ofra Haza, keine andere reichte alleine an das Charisma dieser Israelin heran.
