SEMI FINAL 2 SONGS IN SWEDISH SELECTION 2017

Fans have been able to listen for approximately one minute each to the 7 songs in the second semi final.
I was slightly more impressed with the 7 songs in this semi final after hearing them for the first time – still I cannot see an instant hit for me.
Here is my rankings
7th – ALLYAWAN

Not at all my kind of music

6th – ETZIA

Expected more of this song from seeing the title. I like her dress, especially the sleeves

5th – DISMISSED

Sort of sound like The Ark and could surprise because of how they look and because of the gender issues they are highlighting. Conchitta has competition.

4th – BENJAMIN INGROSSO

He looks better than he sings and the song does very little for me

3rd – LISA AJAX

Interesting title “I don’t give A” and people will try and hear more

2nd – ROGER PONTARE

His 2000 “When spirits are calling my name”  really grew on me and this could have the same effect

1st – MARIETTE

We had ” A million voices” in Eurovision and easily could have “A million years” this time around. Good song but I think both Thomas Gson and Peter Bostrom have composed better songs.

1-acts
