Topic: Mediocre Swedish music event produces a moment of distilled beauty

I thought it was worth sharing. Today we held a Swedish music event, the local Eurovision song contest. Basically pop songs on tv instead of the radio. Bleh.


But last years winner by Loreen, Euphoria, (both in Sweden and then also the european winner) was in my opinion pretty good, and Loreen is an amazing vocalist.

Original for anyone who wants a quick primer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5qURKt4maw (disclaimer: still pop).

Anyways, this version of the song was presented as an intermission in the broadcast while votes were tallied. If you like orchestral film music with choir, this might just sit right with you. It sure gives me goosebumps. As a bonus some nice steadicam work as usual in these things.

I liked the steadicam work too.

It's one of the few things I've seen that would give the choral experience to a hearing impaired audience. Loved it.

Yeah, I believe Adolf Hitler was acknowledged as one of the pioneers or choral singing. He was extraordinary in the same way that Kim Jong Il scored 11 hole in ones the first time he golfed. Very talented people...
