Eurovision 2017: My General top42 Before All the Lights Get On (Last Part)

Based on the first listening impression, I decided to do my general top42, after three previous posts, here it is... My top7. The songs I love the most of this year, at least before the shows. 07. FINLAND Full of emotions and shadows song with a beautiful message, with that emotional piano solo playing almost at the end of the song, and her magnificent voice. Finland could not pick up any other better song. It’s just perfect, for me the 2nd best ballad of this year after my top2. 06. LATVIA Watch out Europe, we are having a potential winner in Baltic region, Latvia is growing up and getting strong year by year with their music and since 2015 are showing the power they have to fight against big fishes like Sweden, Russia and Australia. This year Supernova has exploded and once again they pick up a dark horse that is going to make it to the final and could be fighting for the victory.   I love the voice of the girl, I don’t like that much her stylish but it’s ok.

I'm going to divide the last 14 places into two parts. Here are the places 14 to 8:  14. NORWAY Aleksandr Walmann has great vocals and JOWST one of the best mixes of the year. It will depend on what they have to performance it. I love the song and it was one of my favs from MGP this year.   I’d like to see Aleksandr by himself in future too. 13. ESTONIA Verona is a nice retro-eighties-song. Despite I cannot really find chemistry between the singers the song itself it’s really good.   The risk will be in his vocals, Laura sings pretty well, but Koit could be penalized with his, I’m afraid.  12. SWITZERLAND Flawless voice and great live performance, I hope they can make a great show live using a good backdrop and nice graphics that helps to sell their song. Switzerland could be placing really well this year, a top10 for sure if they have all the ingredients ready. 11. NETHERLANDS For 5 th year in a row, The Netherlands sends a song I like si

I wanted to post my top42 before the rehearsals, I could not make it but I will post it before the Shows are broadcasted. 28. SWEDEN I’m a Swedish lover, but I cannot build a bridge with Bengtsson’s song, I know he has a great live show but I cannot stand the song itself. For me is not a winner, nor a top10 for Sweden. Sorry Sweden for second year in a row I won’t be crossing my fingers for you, but I aware you’ll be in the final. 27. IRELAND It’s a nice 90’s-early-00’s ballad song, but I did not feel in love with it at first listening, 7th time winner of Eurovision is still lost for my taste despite I love its entries back in 2010, 2014 and 2015 ;). 26. AUSTRALIA After the amazing Dami Im I was a bit disappointed about this song once I heard it at first time, I kinda like it but without being my ultimate favorite, I like it but I will not regret if they did not get through the final. 25. CZECHIA I like it since the first listening but bei

It's Eurovision Time and there are tops on line from the whole world, well, sometimes I made mine, and this year, I've been working on that too.  Here are the first delivery of what is my point of view according to the first listening and the song itself, let’s start this…. 42. LITHUANIA The singer has a great attitude and she can deliver a good version live of the song but the main problem is the buildup of the song itself, what is that?! 41. GEORGIA I think she has one of the best voices of this year, the message of the song is good but I cannot stand the old-fashioned of this song, maybe if it had had some modern instrumentation it would work much better at first listening. 40. ISRAEL Most of the fans are going to hate me, but I cannot find a gap in this song, I know it’s an up-tempo and he has a nice voice but it wasn’t enough to captivate me at first. Maybe in rehearsals or in his semifinal will make me change my mind, but it’s still not
