Yesterday a 16-year-old girl had a whole club hold its breath as she, alone on a stage glowing with dimmed lights, played the piano and sang of lost teenage love. Wearing a simple white dress, Swedish Amanda Mair shared with us the pain and beauty of an innocent first love. Time flew past as she served us delicate ballads decorated with perfectly hit high notes and when the crowd requested one more song, she returned to sing one she had already performed. But only after her dad had snuck in backstage to give her his support.
Amanda Mair may be too young to enter Debaser Slussen on any other occasion, but it didn't stop her from blowing her entire, much older, crowd away last night. This young lady will go far.
Here's Amanda Mair performing on Swedish Morning TV:
