Saga Ludvigsson opened the competition with her version of the Abba classic “Gimme gimme gimme (a man after midnight)” in a silver, glittery outfit with several dancers. It’s a high tempo that resonates with the audience, who roar when she starts. The jury also praises the performance.
– This is the beginning of your pop export. You will have a career after midnight, says Anders Bagge in the jury.
He gets the support of fellow jury member Katia Mosally.
– It has been a pleasure to follow your “Idol” journey. This is just the beginning of your artistic career, she says.
Next up is Cimberly Wanyonyi with the song “River deep – mountain high” by Ike & Tina Turner.
The big final night is also hosted by pop star Zara Larsson, who performs a super medley. In addition, there will be performances by Victor Leksell and the Danish singer Christopher.
She is the favourite
Saga Ludvigsson is the favorite but told TT earlier this week that she did not want to claim the victory in advance – and Cimberly Wanyonyi was forced to do interviews in writing because she needed to save her voice for the final.
