Elin Lanto performed in last weekend's Melodifestivalen with the very ace Money. Lanto is a popstar in waiting, having a hit a few year's ago with I Won't Cry, a poppy, soppy ballad. Money is completely different, and thank goodness. It's ace, with its delightfully cheeky selfishness.
Now, SVT are a bit touchy about people handing out mp3s willy-nilly and I don't want to anger the Swedes, so below you can watch the performance on youtube. It's equally ace! Elin progressed from the semi-final to the Second Chance round. Here's hoping she gets through to the final! It needs to be there, here's why:
- Money is in line with its Swedish ancestary, namechecking Abba's Money Money Money
- Show me what it takes to be a real rich bitch is a fabulously audacious lyric. Adopt it as a slogan now!
- Shining gold for me to hold - she needs it alright.
- I love the wilfully cheeky contrast between the lyric I'm not greedy, I'm not greedy, I'm not greedy, not at all, only to be followed by I want money, I want money, I want money, I want it all. Trashy!
- Someone's been attending the Paparizou School of How To Be Fierce on Stage.
- Canes are always a good thing.
- Elin brought the only example of strutting to this semi-final. Hurrah for strutting!
