As a Swede who has heard Molly for fifteen years now, I can say with 100% certainty, that it's Molly all the way ... It's not just the voice you know, it's the tone, the language, the dialect ... yes the whole package. Listen to this clip

No brainer
Netflix and the producer who wrote Husavik issued a statement on this matter. Also the end credits of the movie Will, Rachel, and Molly are listed as performed by under Husavik.
“According to Netflix, Sandén’s vocals were mixed with McAdams’s own voice for the tracks. In a separate phone call with Vanity Fair, Eurovision’s music producer Kotecha said that Sandén and McAdams’s “tones worked so well together” that, in playing back certain tracks, he had a hard time differentiating between the vocals.”

Legion Games 2076 That statement is just hilarious... It's just a sales pitch U know.
Savan Kotecha has wrote songs for some of the most popular artists today, Arianna Grande, Britney Spears, Katy Perry just to name a few, and he’s won a Grammy. He wouldn’t make a statement if it wasn’t true. I’m sorry you’re having a hard time with this, but Husavik is his song, his statement is all that matters. Molly is a phenomenal singer, and I have done requests for reactions to her performances. You should check them out!

Thank you for this! I'm like you in that this movie has really taken a big place in my enjoyment. It sure is helping me get through some rough times. I enjoy watching all the special indepth videos that are being made.
I’m glad it’s helping you get through some rough times. I hope you can find enjoyment here!
I provided this elsewhere and am providing it here too. Netflix THEMSELVES admit that it was 100% Molly. Check out the description on this video from the OFFICIAL Netflix UK & Ireland CZcams channel.
czcams.com/video/kql9cw2MtCU/video.html
"Rachel McAdams is amazing in Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga, but did you know that isn't actually her singing. That voice is actually that of Swedish superstar Molly Sandén. "
So even NETFLIX THEMSELVES on their OFFICIAL CZcams CHANNEL claim it was 100% Molly.
Molly and Rachel may have been singing together on things like Ya Ya Ding Dong
Regarding crediting her on the album, sometimes things like that are done for marketing purposes.
For example, consider a world famous song writing trio from the 80s Stock Aitken and Waterman.
All three of them were credited as being the songwriters for both music and lyrics for all their songs. Pete Waterman never wrote a single note on any of the songs. IT was practically all Mike Stock, however Mike later said he wanted all 3 of them to be given equal credit for marketing purposes so others would not try to divide them as he saw it all as a team effort and a way for everyone to be rewarded for whatever they did. He acknowledged that Pete Waterman dealt with all the business management stuff while he and Matt Aitken actually were involved in the creative songwriting with most of it initially written by Mike Stock with guitar playing by Matt Aitkan and feedback from MAtt.
They were world famous in the 80s. In the UK they were even more famous than their acts (singers).
Sometimes people are credited for marketing purposes.
Another example, on the Dire Straits song "Money for Nothing" Sting is credited as being a songwriter of it. It was later acknowledged all he did was a part with the exact words "I want my MTV" and for those words alone was given a song writing credit.
Molly was unheard of in the US and I think for marketing purposes the originally tried to be economical with the truth for a US audience before coming clean especially in the UK and Ireland.
When even Netflix themselves say it was all Molly on the songs, you pretty much have the truth right there, straight from the horse's mouth. And it also makes sense to credit Rachel McAdams on the album purely for marketing purposes as she's a well known name in Hollywood and Molly Sanden's fame is mostly limited to Scandinavia. But I'm glad Netflix UK & Ireland rightfully gives credit where credit is due, which is to Molly Sanden on the "Husavik" track. One thing is watching the scenes in the movie where, yes, it is a collaborative effort between McAdams and Sanden but as far as audio is concerned (the songs from the soundtrack) it's all 100% Molly.
Molly Sandén is a famous singer and in the song Husavik it is 100% Molly Sandén. No actress!
This is incorrect. The director confirmed he wanted Rachel to sing from day one. Also on IMDb under soundtrack Will, Rachel, and Molly are all confirmed as performing the song, even Husavik.
m.imdb.com/title/tt8580274/soundtrack?ref_=m_tt_trv_snd
Legion Games 2076 you are wrong. Simple as that.
Well it’s unfortunate we don’t see eye to eye. My intent was to never argue with anyone, but to only inform about the misconceptions behind this performance. I appreciate you watching the video.
@@LegionGames2076 The only reason Rachel McAdams is credited for Husavik in that list is because of the hotel scene where she sits by the piano singing snippets of the song.
I find it strange that so many of you aren't able to distinguish between Rachels and Mollys voices. Molly has a very clear character to her voice which Rachel doesn't.
So yes, Rachel IS (by herself) singing Husavik but only in the hotel scene whiles Molly, and only Molly, is singing in the final scene and version of the song.
The producer who wrote Husavik and Netflix issued a statement about this.
“According to Netflix, Sandén’s vocals were mixed with McAdams’s own voice for the tracks. In a separate phone call with Vanity Fair, Eurovision’s music producer Kotecha said that Sandén and McAdams’s “tones worked so well together” that, in playing back certain tracks, he had a hard time differentiating between the vocals.”
www.google.com/amp/s/www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2020/06/eurovision-netflix-rachel-mcadams-singing/amp
You can hear that it's at least 80%+ Molly in hometown. There maybe some tone of Rachel. But essentially Molly makes the song.
Wrong. Savan Kotecha the producer/writer or Husavik confirmed the merging of Molly and Rachel’s voices for the soundtrack.
@@LegionGames2076 this is true but in Husavik it was majority Molly even Rachel confirmed this. But you are absolutely right.
My apologies for the brazenness. I get a lot of arguments on this one. Rachel confirmed she needed help with the high notes, especially the final one. I can’t tell you how many people get aggressive towards me for relaying the truth.
@@LegionGames2076 I fully understand I have seen comments like that everywhere.
From the official Billboard website on this:
www.billboard.com/index.php/articles/business/chart-beat/9414514/eurovision-track-debuts-digital-song-sales-chart
"In the movie, Ferrell and Rachel McAdams' characters perform the song, although Swedish singer My Marianne (real name: Molly Sanden) ***sings in place of Adams***
. For the song's recording, Sanden's vocals were mixed with McAdams'."
What that means in simple terms is that during the recording PROCESS they mixed the voices together to make sure that they matched regarding lip synching etc.
Then in the final edit, removed Rachel's voices
(This can easily be done by switching an audio track on and off as anyone who has done any video editing knows).
That is my conclusion as well. During the "Husavik" peformance, we can see Rachel's vein in her neck which is a typical trait of singers singing live so I'm not doubting the fact that she did sing live in front of the audience during the shooting of that scene, but as you said, they replaced Rachel's vocals with Molly's in post production. Every other song I've ever heard by Molly, both in English and Swedish, has vocals IDENTICAL to that voice so that's definitely 100% all her.
I did not know that about the singers trait which is awesome, thank you. Netflix did confirm that they did indeed combine both Rachel and Molly’s voices as did the writer of the song.
“According to Netflix, Sandén’s vocals were mixed with McAdams’s own voice for the tracks.

@@LegionGames2076 I provided this before and I am providing this again. On the official Netflix UK and Ireland CZcams channel they have a video where they categorically state she was not singing on it. Not "they forgot to mention her" actually stated that Rachel did not sing AT ALL on it. czcams.com/video/kql9cw2MtCU/video.html Word for word quote from THEIR description on that video "Rachel McAdams is amazing in Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga, but did you know that isn't actually her singing. That voice is actually that of Swedish superstar Molly Sandén. "
I know, you’re not the first person to quote that video. It also says 8 seconds into the video “Molly My Marianne Sanden Singer & Co-voice for Sigrit.” No, Rachel did not sing solo, neither did Molly. I believe the person who wrote the song Husavik and combined their voices, that’s Savan Kotecha. He admitted as much.
@@LegionGames2076 They said "Co Voice" because for example it was 100% Rachel singing "Husavic" in the "hotel" scene. Also they said "Co-voice" because Rachel was speaking as Sigrit in the movie. It was diplomacy by Netflix. As I stated before, I believe in the production the vocals were originally being mixed before Rachel's being stripped out.
If Rachel really was singing, why did she not have an official credit when the song was in the charts and is it because Rachel was too nice to complain?
The original plan for example with "Lion of Love" was for the vocals of Dan Stevens (who actually did sing the song but we never heard the vocals) to be mixed with the real singer. However they RUSHED THE FILM OUT DUE TO THE CORONAVIRUS.
Therefore they spent less time on it than they wanted so they could rush it out due to the coronavirus.
In order to rush the film out they just made they lip synching looked good and scrapped the actors' singing voices. The exception was Will Ferrell who really did sing and any other singers who appeared as themselves.
Was a good combo, Rachel has more body and the other girl hits the high notes & riffs
Still love Eurovision in 2023. I hope they collab again in some way, their chemistry was off the chain. I did not know they filmed it there steller performance- we need more Mr. Will Farrell chop chop
I hear a blend. If you listen to Molly singing the 'acoustic live' version she has a very clear Swedish accent. in the movie the edge is cut off the accent. Even if Sigrit is 90%Molly 10%Rachael it's still a blend. I would love to hear a Rachael solo version.
It would be interesting to actually hear Rachel singing, can’t find any performances from her though.
During the piano in the hotel sequence it is actually Rachel singing but she does like a line or so at a time then stops. That is Rachel actually singing but it also seems like whispering. 16:45 in this video (Legion's this exact video) is Rachel actually singing.
No as a swede I can tell you that its molly singing the Husavik song but on some of the other songs they use Rachels voice. Just look at the information on Spotify and Wikipedia who is credited on singing the song; Molly and Will Farrell! No its not streching the truth.
Molly is a phenomenal singer, but this statement was shared on this very topic.
“According to Netflix, Sandén’s vocals were mixed with McAdams’s own voice for the tracks. In a separate phone call with Vanity Fair, Eurovision’s music producer Kotecha said that Sandén and McAdams’s “tones worked so well together” that, in playing back certain tracks, he had a hard time differentiating between the vocals.”
www.google.com/amp/s/www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2020/06/eurovision-netflix-rachel-mcadams-singing/amp
Legion Games 2076 Also from the article: ”But Sandén, who has seen the film, said she only noticed McAdams’s voice in a scene in which the actor was singing to herself in front of a piano. Asked if she thought the vocals had been mixed, Sandén sounded skeptical: “If they say so, maybe that’s the truth. But I just know that I didn’t really hear [McAdams] in the soundtrack...maybe it’s mixed in somewhere.”
I know what it said. Her opinion on the performance is irrelevant when the producer who made song states differently. It was only my intent to inform people of the misconceptions. You’re welcome to believe what you want.
Also from the official UK Charts company, responsible for the official UK pop charts (the UK equivalent of the Billboard 100)
www.officialcharts.com/artist/57991/will-ferrell-and-my-marianne/
Both Double Trouble and Husavic are credited to Molly (My Marianne) and Will Ferrell. No mention in either of Rachel McAdams.
Why would Rachel be excluded if she sang on those songs?
Interesting. The soundtrack credits and the movie credits would like to disagree with you.

@@LegionGames2076 How come my replies keep disappearing? =(
I’ve heard it’s a CZcams glitch. I don’t remove comments.
Rachel sang but the voice is from Molly. ;-)
Copy paste from Vanity Fair: "According to Netflix, Sandén’s vocals were mixed with McAdams’s own voice for the tracks. In a separate phone call with Vanity Fair, Eurovision’s music producer Kotecha said that Sandén and McAdams’s “tones worked so well together” that, in playing back certain tracks, he had a hard time differentiating between the vocals.

Asked if she thought the vocals had been mixed, Sandén sounded skeptical: “If they say so, maybe that’s the truth. But I just know that I didn’t really hear [McAdams] in the soundtrack...maybe it’s mixed in somewhere.”"
Read Mollys words about the singing in the movie. I believe that when she was sitting in the hotel room playing a piano alone it was a mix between both vocals, but the main act was Molly alone.
I recommend you all to listed to this acoustic version where Molly is singing all by herself; czcams.com/video/21c3duHlFAc/video.html
I did a reaction video for that very performance today, you should check it out!
czcams.com/video/7QMmQYwqyoY/video.html
The two sounded perfect
Yes they did, that song is beyond phenomenal!
It's says Molly is the Singer. And thats means Molly is co-voice with the actress, to make the character Sigrits voice.
They are both mentioned in all songs except singa-a-long where only Molly is mentioned. (If you look at IMDB)
That last part is interesting, just looked that up. Thank you. It says “singer” because that’s her title. She’s co-voice with Rachel because they merged their singing voices. I really appreciate you watching the video, honestly!
Legion games 2076 To support your claimes you refer to an article but is blind to what singer Molly says in the article: ”But Sandén, who has seen the film, said she only noticed McAdams’s voice in a scene in which the actor was singing to herself in front of a piano. Asked if she thought the vocals had been mixed, Sandén sounded skeptical: “If they say so, maybe that’s the truth. But I just know that I didn’t really hear [McAdams] in the soundtrack...maybe it’s mixed in somewhere.”
She didn’t write the song, produce the song, didn’t make the movie. I’ll stick with believing Savan Kotecha who wrote, and produced Húsavík, as well mixed their voices together for the track.
her name is molly sandan
Molly Sandén😊😉
Thank you so much for doing this video 😊 it was a collaboration! I don't know why people are so upset that Rachel also sang. Silly internet! There is always going to be someone who has to argue. You keep doing you dude.
Thank you so much for watching this! I’m not sure why it’s such a controversial issue, but that’s the internet, lol!
Of course the actress sang in movie in some of the songs - just not in Husavik. Molly Sandén is the only voice heard i the last song Husavik, when the caracter finally sings from her heart as Alexander Lemtov was complaining that she did not do. But finally in the climax of the movie she finally does sing from her heart - and that is charachterized by Molly Sandéns voice - only - no actress in Husavik. 🙂🎶
And note - in USA there are defamation laws - not in Sweden. Artists in Sweden are therefore not prepaired for defamation. I cannot stand when people are walking all over Molly Sandéns brilliant singing in Husavik in which she is the only voice heard singing.
Did Rachel just pronounce Mollys last name totally incorrect? Where does she get the G from😅 yikes
And also, where do you get the 50/50% from? Based on what?🧐 No doubt Rachel’s voice is blended in there a bit but what makes you say it was 40/60% or 50/50%😊
Sorry for the delay. As more information has come out, I’d say it’s probably 60/40. The writer and producer of the song came out and admitted he merged there voice, but Rachel did admit there were some high notes she couldn’t hit.
I love it! If that’s not enough evidence, I don’t know what else you could show lol. Either way, such a great movie, great music and what I suspect will be a boost in tourism for Husavik 😊
Yes it is!
