Marie Serneholt - Salt & Pepper (Melodifestivalen 2012)

[VoR]

This is one of those Melfest performances that has kind of lived rent free in my head for the past 14 years.



So many questions:

WHAT was she thinking?
WHY did she agree to this?
WHY is she seemingly rooted to the spot like a terrified gazelle for the entire thing?
WHY was *that* the outfit?
HOW hard was Loreen laughing behind her hand after watching this?

That last bizarre yelp of "SALT 'N' PEPPA!" will still be with me long after old age and dementia has taken the memories of my loved ones away.

It's the much loved SALT N PEPPER armography that's also stuck with me too. Simultaneously a 12/10 and a 0/10

 

[D5K]

Yes this has consumed far more of my consciousness over the last 14 years than it should. Why does the random dancer get all the attention for the first ten seconds?! And did the backing singer forget which bit of the song they're in with an aborted "Salt and Pep" at 2:03?

 

[Velvet Skies]

This is JOYFUL and QUIRKY!
Perhaps she sensed Loreen would win and decided not to bother that much
