With her voice, Helen Sjöholm made the entire arena salon hold its breath. The star created magic with his vocal cords and doesn´t hold anything back.
Helen Sjöholm makes the strongest impression when she stands straight up, behind the mic stand and sings out with all her might. The superstar is so big in her little body that she takes over the entire salon just by breathing in preparation to sing out. The audience sits in full swing, enjoying and just sucking in the beautiful song.
When Helen Sjöholm raises the tones, as to the words “you have” in You Have To Be There, there are positive thrills through the body… you shudder. (…)
The Intermediate talk was largely about the love of meeting the audience again after the pandemic. The star has a carefully rehearsed script, it´s accurate and for the most part quite fun.
Just before the pandemic’s big outbreak in 2020, Sjöholm released the album En ny tid (A New Time) and this was the basis for the tour stop at CCC in Karlstad last Saturday. An album with Swedish, classic Helen Sjöholm songs, created with both fantastic lyrics and music. Jag är elden (I´m the Fire), Samma här (Same here), En ny tid (A New Time)… perfect songs between the great successes through her career.
(…) Even if the audience leaned back and enjoyed the new, it was still the hits that drew the biggest audience cheers; Du är min man (You Are My Man), Du måste finnas (You Have To Be There), Så mycket bättre (So Much Better) success Euforia and the greatest magic during the concert night was of course created when Helen Sjöholm took the stage and sang out in Gabriella’s song.
