Even her move to transform Håkan Hellström’s “It will never be over for me” went down well with both the jury and viewers. The 16-year-old from Stockholm is the youngest “Idol” winner ever.
– Surround yourself with good people because this is going to take off, said Ash Pournouri.
After the first part of the final was completed, where the idols performed their own song selection and a previous favorite song, Minou Nilsson was voted out and had to settle for third place in this year’s “Idol”.
“Love your confidence”
Thus it was the two remaining finalists Margaux Flavet and Joel Nordenberg who had to perform the winning song “I’ll write your name across the sky”. When the votes were counted for the last time, it was then clear that Margaux will be the 20th “Idol” winner.
The jury has praised runner-up Joel Nordenberg all season, both for his vocal resources and charisma – and the final was no exception. His reprise of Jireel’s “Amen” had the jury standing up.
– I love your confidence, you know who you are as an artist, said Peg Parnevik.
Theme nostalgia
In addition to excitement, the “Idol” finale also offered a hefty dose of nostalgia when both former winners and presenters visited the 20th anniversary entertainment program.
David Hellenius, who led the premiere season in 2004, was back and acted as Pär Lernström’s sidekick and Peter Jihde, Gina Dirawi, Sanna Bråding and Anis don Demina were also present.
