COVER2COVER – T-SHIRT
On 23rd August 2020 we (ESC Covers, EuroVisionMusic, Eurovision Coverage and Destination Eurovision) started publishing pictures of VICTOR BUSH modeling a Eurovision t-shirt and holding the promo material for that entry. It is to make artists aware of entering the COVER2COVER SINGING contest we are arranging – closing date for entries is 30th October 2020. We have also shot short videos and that we will upload on our Youtube channel in the next week or so. We will publish this at random and the third one is from NORWAY 2007 – VEN A BAILAR CONMIGO of GURI SCHANKE. Thomas Gson composed this song. In total we will publish for 40 days in a row a different t-shirt.
PROMO SINGLE – FRANCE
It is April 11th and so the 11th cover of one of the promo singles of the 41 Eurovision entries of 2020. It is the entry from FRANCE. The singer is TOM LEEB and the song is called THE BEST IN ME. Thomas Gson was one of the composers. I really love the song.
SWEDISH SELECTION 2006 – KIKKI DANIELSSON
Time to showcase another of the CD singles from Melodifestival that ESCCovers obtained last month in Oslo via a OGAE Norway fan that got rid of her collection. This time it is KIKKI DANIELSSON and her song IDAG & IMORGON who has Thomas Gson among others as composer. It was in the 2006 selection. The second track on it is Kikki singing Yesterday once more of the Carpenters.
GRAVITY – HOVIG COVER
Here are the links for ZAKK STYLES and his song HART GENEES (the Afrikaans cover of Cyprus 2017 – Gravity by Hovig composed by Thomas Gson)

The man behind the song is legendary Swedish composer Thomas G:son.
You can see the official lyric video for La Tormenta below.

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.
