Anna is a big actress and singer in Sweden, got famous as a child in Astrid Lindgrens “barnen I bullerbyn” which is from the same author who wrote Pippi Longstocking. (All Astrid Lindgren stories are swedish classics), And now she voiced the Swedish voice of Pepa in encanto😆
This song could not belong to another year other than 2002... Popular music of that year is embodied perfectly here It would have been way too up ahead in 2001 and too outdated in 2003
It's been 18 years and that silhoutte stayed with me, the moment I clicked on the video I recognized it instantly. This is masterpiece compared to "Everybody" lol early 2000s were a mess.
actually there is playing Runaway instrumental music with backing vocals, that`s why she had to open herself harder. they later discussed if this was done wittingly. if u hear the song, the voice of the background singers sounds much louder in the first verse than that of the lead singer. the other version is that the microphones accidentally switched. Sahlene didn't understand anything on stage and only after watching the videos did the search for causes and culprits begin.
Something felt off but I didn't know what, now when I listened again I really heard it, it must have been devastating for her while standing there singing live, to hear the backing vocals overpower her voice. Excellent comment made, thank you!
@@DonChillum Estonian tabloid after the show: "Sahlene didn't share it on stage. First, the sound of the hall and the sound of the air are two things in themselves, and what the singer hears is the third. The sound team didn't do a good enough job, and that's sad. Not only Estonian`s, but in several other songs, the sound was wrong. The Belgian song also had problems. This work was done by a Swedish sound director. Strange, everything was fine during the rehearsals. Some think that the violation of the sound of the song was intentional. Do not forget that we were strong competitors to Sweden. In retrospect, it is difficult to speculate whether Estonia would have a better place if it sounded perfect. A small thorn .."
@@teddytete.mp3 May not be an amazing song. It’s good but not remarkable on the songwriting front. Though this really goes an extra mile given that Sahlene is such a gifted performer.
Кстати, после конкурса во время традиционного обсуждения в студии первого канала (или тогда ещё ОРТ, не помню). Народ в Москве искренне возмущался, почему несправедливо завалили эту шведско-эстонскую девушку. Должна была выигрывать. Россия кстати тогда дала 10 баллов, даже больше чем Швеция (8). А вообще, отличный трек поднимающий настроение. До сих пор слушаю.

Haha oh my yes! This youtube-autoplayed and I at first believed it was a "I believe I can fly!" cover! Can't believe the lack of lawsuit - quite good song though.
The song from Latvia was indeed boring and uninteresting. But Marie N nailed it with her customed-changing performance which was the only reason why she won. Luckily for both Estonia and Latvia for winning in 2001 and 2002 respectively otherwise no matter how good they are in the future, with ESC has turned into a political show which lead to small countries like them have very little chance to actually win again
Νικόλας Ξεροβάσιλας you might be right. Because when she is singing together with the backing vocals, you only here her sing when the backings are harmonising. Such a pitty.
If I had a nickel for every time Estonia sent a good song sung by a Swede I would have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice
I just found out that she is the girl who played Anna in "Children of Bullerbyn". What a shock :O
Will go down as one of the biggest cheers at Eurovision 👏👏👏 It was great to see such a supportive crowd despite her nationality! 🇸🇪🇪🇪🎉❤
She sang as a backing singer for Australia in 2016 now she is a Backing singer for United Kingdom 2019
🦘
go micheal Cardiff 2020
She also was a backing in 1999 for Sweden and they won!
Definition of a downgrade
@@crossingfrederic lol sad but true
@@nadirhajjour and Malta in 2000!
I love this masterpiece and it should have won the Eurovision song contest

She's not big in Sweden 😄
"Like Buffy the Vampire" wtf? lol. I love this song though
It's 2018 and I sometimes find myself singing this song for no reason hahaha
One of greatest song what i ever listen in Eurovision!!!
This song could not belong to another year other than 2002...

She's hot and can sing. I'm glad she's singing backup for Dami Im at 2016 Eurovision!
:O really?? I know, old comment xd
She did it to by Sweden 1999 Charlotte Take me to your heaven "
She might have also crossed paths with Ira in Stockholm.
@@ariccua6101 You mean Claudette?
Edit: nvm im dumb
Estonian commentator noted that she performed the song like she had won.
Ormi Ader she definitly had a special quality. Propably really experienced and really good.
I call this 'winners confidence' the best entrants exude it.
Considering she had the background singers mic and had lower volume she had to really do it all
She is so good 😍😍😍
Amazing song for a beautiful singer. ♥

Para mi la mejor canción. Mereció ganar
Ole por el país anfitrión,una canción con mucha fuerza,y un pop muy comercial,de lo mejor del 2002
I BELIEVE I CAN FLYYYY 😍
The Real Winner of 2002..
My favourite Estonian entry
she is a backing vocalist this year for the uk
she also participates in Farmen VIP 2019 in Sweden
Million times better than 2001 winner.
ANNA ❤ SAHLIN ❤ ❤ 💕 SUPER SONG, En vacker Kvinna. Kyssar. 💋
2002: A Great Year!!! Latvia, Malta, Estonia...
ANNA ❤ SAHLIN 💕 🌹 SUPER 👌 SONG. BRAVO. ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ SUPER ANNA.
The thing is, this may not be an amazing song, but my gosh did Sahlene give this a performance-and-a-half
Wtf do you mean this is not an amazing song?!?
@@teddytete.mp3 May not be an amazing song. It’s good but not remarkable on the songwriting front. Though this really goes an extra mile given that Sahlene is such a gifted performer.
I think it's the other way around. Top-notch contemporary pop song, boring performance (she's charismatic tho).
@@anonymousxxx9513lol What? It's a generic pop song. Mediocre singer too.
Still the best entry from a host country at the ESC. She should have won.
I want to mention also Denmark 2001
@@leavingbehind98 nah that was cheesy as hell
Luxembourg 1973, Yugoslavia 1990
I agree ... but what is your opinion on Uk 1998?
excelente
yes
The Winner 🌟
Still listening in 2023 :D I love it!!
Super j'adore cette chanson
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
L'intro est absolument LÉGENDAIRE
Люблю Эстонию ❤
Me too!
1:20 the booty jiggle by the background singers is so early 2000s
She was my first love
Hon är jätteduktig! Ett sånt bra framträdande!
Runaway from Estonia
No 1
20 years ago ffs
Wow! Abbayish and anthemish!!!
Just me that reacted to him in the begining saying: "Like Buffy the Vampire..." Just... what?
CoffeeMcCreeps - That was Terry Wogan for you.
I am the CHAMPION!!!
Its song name
Adoro!!!

Извините, не знал, что государственный язык Эстонии - английский))
@@Sirius128500 но и не русский
Ты что то путаешь, Эстонии наше жюри дало 3 балла, а Латвии 10
Why were the backings' voices louder than Sahlene's voice?
Cause she had the wrong microphone.
@@Taevas___ Or sound guy messed up ?

She is lucky no one could look up her skirt, beacuse some of her pisitions were tricky. 😱😱
It's like "I belive I can fly"
That's what I thought 😂😂
Tanel (Estonia's last winner)'s sister was singing I Believe I Can Fly during her performance lol
imagine that postcard today??? lol
"I believe I can flyyy... I believe I can touch the skyyy..." they didn't even bother to change the melody lmao great song though
ayyy lmao :)
omg, now i see it. but anyway this song is awesome ;)
George Austin Tay lol you can sing the same song with lyrics: "I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky"
Lol wtf?? xD
Don't you blaspheme! 😂
Haha oh my yes! This youtube-autoplayed and I at first believed it was a "I believe I can fly!" cover! Can't believe the lack of lawsuit - quite good song though.
A great cover for R.Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly"
Erki Nool!!!
Farmen V.I.P 2019 Någon?
How did she lost to Marie N?
Marie N had more points!
Because there wasn't too much to the song either vocally or instrumentally.
It was host entry
starting position
The song from Latvia was indeed boring and uninteresting. But Marie N nailed it with her customed-changing performance which was the only reason why she won. Luckily for both Estonia and Latvia for winning in 2001 and 2002 respectively otherwise no matter how good they are in the future, with ESC has turned into a political show which lead to small countries like them have very little chance to actually win again
That year esc had so many good songs like this one and the fact that latvia won was a huge dissapointment
Наверное звукорежиссера обидела, так сильно на первом куплете и припеве бэк перекрывает солистку
Far better than the winner that year!
and the previous year too.
Top Three!
Player 142
This must have been the end of people sitting in front of the stage at Eurovision. 😱😱😱😱 And OMG why are the backing vocals so loud?
She had the wrong microphone

Still better than "Everybody".

Melodi i believe i can fly diye bağırıyo
Should've won.
2 years in a row? Would've been a cool eurovision record.
@@alexbat9337 what abt ireland?😂
What the....
Both estonia and uk tied for 3rd place.
And both would have been more deserving winners that Latvia!
@patrickh3385
Yeah it's like the judges couldn't decided which is best 3rd place
One of two times when Estonia was represented by a Swedish person
2nd was Victor Crone?
She wanted to perform 2022 too, Champion
third, sandra oxenryd from 2006 also
.
She should have won. The song that won was absolute crap lmao
yeah, sure. win 2 years in a row? you know eurovision is all about politics and not true competition
estonua won with ghe wrong song
Its like i believe i can flyy i believe i can touch the skyyy very kopieee hahaaa
better than latvia btw
