Tom: Our regular reader Roger sends this in. It’s a live performance, but let me assure you — having checked the other performances — this is how it’s supposed to sound.
Tom: It is, to say the least, “stripped down”.
Tim: Yeah – you could say that.
Tom: Perhaps the single version has a bit… well, a bit more to it? Because the last minute or so of this track would make a great intro, but that’s about all I can say.
Tim: Hmm. You’re right – when it starts to build up a bit it gets a bit good, but that’s really a long way away from being the sort of big summer tune you might expect to be performed there.
Tom: There’s a cracking track in there, but it just seems incomplete right now. For a “world premiere performance”, I’d expect more.
Tim: Credit where it’s due, though: the dancing was fully present, and all the more for there not being much to dance to.
Tom: A bit of history that I’ve just found: she’s 15, and her first shot at fame was when she was 10 and on Sweden’s Got Talent. It took a while for her to become a pop star: but she’s certainly made it now.
