March 26, 20169 yr Author That's inspired me, also through a state of boredom, to update my top 28. I did it after Heat 4 but obviously I've had a month for everything to settle in now and look at things retrospectively outside of the contest: 1. Samir & Viktor - Bada Nakna 2. Ace Wilder - Don't Worry (took a while to PROPERLY hit me like it now has) 3. Isa - I Will Wait 4. Lisa Ajax - My Heart Wants Me Dead 5. Molly Sanden - Youniverse 6. Robin Bengtsson - Constellation Prize 7. Dolly Style - Rollercoaster 8. Oscar Zia - Human 9. SMILO - Weight Of The World 10. Panetoz - Hall om mig Hart 11. Mimi Werner - Ain't No Good 12. Krista Siegfrids - Faller 13. David Lindgren - We Are Your Tomorrow 14. Linda Bengtzing - Killer Girl 15. Molly Petterson-Hammar - Hunger 16. Swingfly (feat. Helena Gutarra) - You Carved Your Name 17. Frans - If I Were Sorry 18. Albin & Mattias - Rik 19. Victor och Natten - 100% 20. Boris Rene - Put Your Love On Me 21. Anna Book - Himmel for tva 22. SaRaha - Kizunguzungu 23. Eclipse - Runaways 24. Wiktoria - Save Me 25. After Dark - Kom ut som en stjarna 26. Patrik, Tommy & Uno - Hall mitt hjarta hart 27. Martin Stenmarck - Du tar mig tillbacks 28. Pernilla Andersson - Mitt guld
March 28, 20169 yr Im not a fan of the Swedish entry this year as I don't like that style of music. With Russia and Sweden the big faves this year I would refer Russia to win based on song.
March 31, 20169 yr Not sure where this ought to go but this was quite an amusing review (and from my basic digging I think they're doing them all). ?v=eFrL0PHNf_s

March 31, 20169 yr Wiktoria has really grown on me too since the deltävling. Samir & Viktor AHEAD of Anna Book though?!
March 31, 20169 yr I still can't stop playing Kizunguzungu, though it makes me wish Waka Waka had a key change.
March 31, 20169 yr Wiktoria has really grown on me too since the deltävling. Samir & Viktor AHEAD of Anna Book though?! Oh let's be honest, Himmel för två was great live but on record it's little more than cheap fun filler. You can really tell the Kempe pedigree to Bada nakna, even though it took me a while to really EMBRACE it
March 31, 20169 yr Oh let's be honest, Himmel för två was great live but on record it's little more than cheap fun filler. You can really tell the Kempe pedigree to Bada nakna, even though it took me a while to really EMBRACE it It was the trouser removal wasn't it.
March 31, 20169 yr Author I'm more surprised that, even as a fan of the song, you'd call We Are Your Tomorrow "incredible".
March 31, 20169 yr ___ sublime 03 / After Dark - Kom ut som en stjärna 04 / Wiktoria - Save Me ___ incredible 09 / David Lindgren - We Are Your Tomorrow 10 / SaRaha - Kizunguzungu Your taste is sublime love. I cannot get enough of After Dark at this point.
April 11, 20169 yr I can't quite believe what I've just seen, but I was naturally watching New Music Mondays on VIVA and, after videos from Nick Jonas, Ariana Grande, Hailee Steinfeld, Meghan Trainor and ZAYN, Frans came on! Frans on a UK Music Channel is shocking enough, but a month before Eurovision even takes place? Unbelievable! He's also getting plays on Beats 1 Radio too!
April 14, 20169 yr Someone on Moopy has announced that Frans has signed to Columbia in the UK and will send 'If I Were Sorry' to radio next week here! :o
April 14, 20169 yr Sweden are really gunning for that 7th win! Good plan to try and get it everywhere before the contest.
April 14, 20169 yr The comparisons with Lena get stronger with each day! Both have talk-singing voices with quirky "British" accents, both have/had simple staging and now Frans could be joining Lena in having a big pre-contest hit. The similarities are even higher for me as I didn't really like either Frans or Lena on first listen but both have grown to be two of my favourite Eurovision songs of recent times - although it took Lena until the final night itself to grow on me due to me not listening to all the songs endlessly pre-contest like I do now.
April 14, 20169 yr I still can't at this. His "vocals" remain hideous and it's gonna be even worse if, of all Eurovision songs, THIS is the one that becomes an actual hit as well as winning :manson:
April 14, 20169 yr I am VERY excited at the prospect of this being a UK hit! It sounds perfectly current and something that radio would love without the Eurovision tag, I hope that doesn't taint things.
April 14, 20169 yr This is sure to be a hit both at and outside Eurovision, but whilst I'm always pleased to see a song from the contest do well on the charts, this one isn't one that I can say the same about. Rather than being an amazing song doing well because it's undeniable, this is so pandering and obvious and tailored to do well that it being a Eurovision entry is only tangential AT BEST. I mean it's better than anything Ed Sheeran has ever sharted out, but that's SCANT PRAISE.
