Sweden SWEDEN 2021 - Tusse - Voices

[escYOUnited]

There's fire in the rain
But we'll get up again
We're thousand miles apart
But we'll overcome

I'll never let you down
World is turning us around
But I feel it in my heart
Let's make a brand new start

Can't stop us now forget the haters
Get up and live and make it matter
There's more to life so go ahead and
sing it out

Can you hear
a million voices
Calling out
in the rain
You know we got
a million choices
So go get out
and let it rain

A million voices voices
A million voices voices
A million voices voices
A million voices

There's fire in the rain
And I can feel your pain
Painting all the scars in
The colors of change

Don't let them hold you down
Don't let them hold you down
Go shooting like a star
The star you are

Can't stop us now forget the haters
Get up and live and make it matter
There's more to life so go ahead and
sing it out

Can you hear
a million voices
Calling out
in the rain
You know we got
a million choices
So go get out
and let it rain

Can you hear them
A million voices voices
Can you hear them
A million voices voices
Can you hear them
A million voices voices
Can you hear them
A million voices

Can you hear them?
Can you hear them?

Can you hear
a million voices
Calling out
in the rain
You know we got
a million choices
So go get out
and let it rain

Can you hear them
A million voices voices
Can you hear them
A million voices voices
Can you hear them
A million voices voices
Can you hear them
A million voices​

So here's my review on Semi 4:

- Firstly I am quite upset (but not surprised) by the fact that SVT squeezed pretty much the best songs of MF'21 into the last semi thus unfairly having better entries being kicked out and worse ones from the previous semis making it to the final and of course they also squeezed the best Swedish language entries into the same semi, very unfortunate but predictable since they really don't want Swedish language to succeed....
+ The hosting was pretty fun this week, probably best show so far

Happens every year

The fact that Tusse is the red hot favourite at the bookies to win Melfest is terrifying!!! I mean...seriously?
His song is very bland and generic.

Eric has to come through here. His song is very “The Weeknd at eurovision” and we will take it. Unfortunately the tone of his voice is not the most pleasant and I can only imagine how amazing the song would sound with Robin Bengtsson at the helm.
However, it has to be the winner here.
And as a back-up, Dotter is also acceptable (and Charlotte, but she is chanceless to win)

Eric Saade's performance and especially the choreography is making me feel smth. Idk why but I can't stop laughing, it's actual comedy gold. I have always wanted for my country to send a joke entry to ESC and I realize this is probably the closest we'll get to that in a really long time. Gosh I really hope he wins now (or Danny or the Evwa's)

He's like Drake dancing in Hotline Bling, but worse. (or better.. it depends on your standards )

 

[Preuss]

Eric and the Mamas!

Can't believe Tusse is the favorite to win though... and when I look at that guy, I see Andre from Victorious

True, but it's even more sad in an edition that is SO bad as this, they could have at least tried to spread it a bit more then to give the decent songs a chance...

 

[FilipFromSweden]

I hate to say this but the mp3 version of Little Tot is not very good? I think overall Tusse has my favorite song, but my wishes-to-win-Eurovision brain doesn't think it's the best idea

His song is very bland and generic.

Sweden in a nutshell, some cry story about him coming to Sweden as a child and our media is running wild... the song is secondary when they can make politics out of it... if Danny or Dotter did his song there wouldn't be any hype about it...

 

[Preuss]

Eric's honestly next level... He's my number one, and by quite a distance, the entry Sweden has to send. My first hype hype hype this season

Swedish media already decided on Tusse and the sheep follow the sheep follow the Shepherd

that other forum is full of impressionable goons, then.

I mean, his song is okay? I'm a lover and a sucker for generic pop songs in ESC but "Voices" doesn't do it for me

That’s a real shame!
Let’s hope the International Jury do their job in the final.

 

[Mimmon]

To be honest im disappointed at Eric...
I loved his past work until now
Its bad song in my opion

I wouldn't put my trust in them, they aren't very different from the ESC juries so they also prefer bland generic stuff

I really don't think that's fair and you're being a bit racist. Tusse is an amazing singer, he won Swedish Idol and it's no surprise he is the favorite right now because the song is in the same sort of style like The Weeknd. To say that his success is only because of identity politics is such character assassination. He was first introduced to the public in 2018 as someone who failed to reach the finals in Sweden's Got Talent, his heritage didn't matter then and it doesn't matter now

I think his song is super bland, there is generic Pop that can be ok, it's not as if Eric or Dotter are particularly groundbreaking, but at least they have some sort of identity to them wheres Voices is really forgettable.

 

[RainyWoods]

How DARE they get rid of Tess like that. Then again the performance vocally speaking gave me Dilba vibes almost, but still.

And these duels. My number 1 and number 2 of this entire Melodifestivalen battling it out It means I'll lose the one song I truly love from this year's contest, but at least Ewa and Eva will advance I guess.

And here comes the racist card, how predictable Zzzzz ... no I am just telling what I see, I don't care about his background or skin color if that's what you think? My favorite entry in MF'19 was John Lundvik and Loreen is my favorite Swedish ESC entry of all time so ... but when they need to sell a song (or artist) with a back-story it's pretty blatant... the song and talent should be the selling point, he might have the talent, but the song not.

Oh please, The Weeknd is amazing, don't compare this blandess of a song to one of the greatest contemporary acts out there... there is nothing at all in this entry that reminds me of The Weeknd, Voices is typical MF Pop we've heard for years now...
