Språkvision 2017 Reviews (+ Rankings)

Since Språkvision is over, I’ve decided that maybe it’s time that I’ve posted my opinions of each of the entries. Alongside, to make this post more unique, I will also do a predictions (my ranking) vs the actual placing of the entries.

I’ve been inspired by @fangadavenstormvind to do these opinions, so go check out her post :)

(Opinions coming from the Swedish HoD herself! 🇸🇪)

01 Israel - “Hafuch” by Itay Levy

Mot really my cup of tea, but it didn’t deserve second to last.

Result: 23rd (-1)

02 Greece - “Η αλήθεια μοιάζει ψέμα” by Demy (1 point)

Honestly, this is so much better than This is Love (anything in her discography is but that’s tea for another time). It was underrated in my jury vote, and if I could, I would’ve gave it more points.

Result: 3rd (+7)

03 France - “Adolescente Pirate” by Léa Paci (12 points)

This was my winner! I was hoping this would win, but it got top 10 so I’m glad :) well done to you Aquila!

Result: 7th (-6)

04 Armenia - “Dashterov” by Aram MP3 & Iveta Mukuchyan

I’m going to be honest, I wasn’t a real fan of this, but a couple days ago I started listening and i actually… liked it? it really was a shock that it was top 10 but ya know this song isn’t for everyone.

Result: 6th (+14)

05 Croatia - “Zaljuljali Smo Svijet” by Nina Kraljić

Nina Kraljić’s voice isn’t exactly my liking, which was why I didn’t give this points, but this song was super nice. It did deserve second and I wish I gave it points.

Result: 2nd (+13)

06 Latvia - “Viktorija” by Aarzemnieki

This song is quite catchy and one of those songs you could sing to at a camp fire :)

Result: 18th (-4)

07 Hungary - “Balaton” by Dorogi Péter and Meszes Balázs ft. Odett

This song is unique, and I get that it might not be to everyone’s liking, but it sure didn’t deserve last place.

Result: 24th (-5)

08 Romania - “Amici” by Ilinca (7 points)

When it comes to ballads, you only hit or miss when it comes to me, and this definitely was a HIT! I’m glad ilinca has so much more to offer aside from her yodeling. Reall underrated in Språkvision.

Result: 17th (-13)

09 Russia - “Мирас” by Gulnaz Battalova

I don’t really have strong feelings on this song, but it’s not bad or anything. I like the meaning though.

Result: 5th (+13)

10 Spain - “Mas Macarena” by Gente de Zona ft. Los Del Rio

I really didn’t like this at all, sorry. I mean, I already didn’t like the Macarena and the weird remix with the rapping was just a mess. Not really my liking.

Result: 21st (+3)

11 Serbia - “Ego” by Milan Stanković

Milan Stanković had a glo up!!!! what!?!? more like a glo down, this song is eh.

Result: 20th (-6)

12 Ireland - “D'Aon Ghuth Amháin” by Seo Lin (6 points)

The Irish language is quite beautiful and this song just creates positive vibes all over!! I gave this 6 points and my thoughts on the song haven’t changed since. A well done on the Irish HoD and congratulations on the win :)

Result: 1st (+5)

13 Germany - “Chopin” by Elastiq (3 points)

I guess I favored this song more than Språkvision did. Parody songs are actually funny if done right, and this was done right. Again, another song that was underrated in språkvision.

Result: 19th (-11)

14 Ukraine - “Університет” by Vivienne Mort

I really don’t like coffee shop music but this song is definitely great to listen to when you need some chill vibes.

Result: 9th (+8)

15 Norway - “Om Igjen” by Razika (2 points)

This song was my 9th place and it’s a fun song to listen to. I wish I gave this more points besides two.

Also, #fakeneighbors but #realbros (inside joke between Olivia and I) <33

Result: 16th (-7)

16 Sweden - ”Tagen på Sängen” by Axel Schylström

This was my song. All the songs in my national final were songs I liked so it’s not like I wouldn’t have anything positive to say. The betting poll said that i’d win televote, but the jury vote favored me more.

A big thank you to Israel, Greece, Latvia, Romania, Serbia, Germany, Ukraine, Norway (thank you for the douze btw <3), Italy, United Kingdom, Estonia, and Iceland for your points <3

Result: 14th (xx)

17 Finland - “Juranoid” by Hevisaurus

This isn’t really the type of music i’d listened to :/ but i see why some people might enjoy it.

Result: 12th (+11)

18 Lithuania - “Nauja Istorija” by Mark Les & Moniqué (4 points)

Lithuania just did #that. Moniqué is one of my favorite artists now and I’m waiting for her to represent Eurovision. Such a great song and such a great artist!

Result: 11th (-4)

19 Italy - “Abbracciami Perdonami Gli Sbagli” by Bianca Aztei

This song was right in the middle in my ranking and I wish I gave this points. Such a great song with a great message!

Result: 8th (+4)

20 Albania - “Duart Lart” by Alban Skenderaj

This song is meh. It kind of grew out of me and I’ve started to lose interest.

Result: 22nd (-9)

21 United Kingdom - “Gwenwyn” by Swnami (10 points)

This song is really good! Well done Hendrik for sending in a welsh song. I gave it 10 points in the jury vote and I’m glad it got top 5.

Result: 4th (-2)

22 Estonia - ”Seitse Pühapäeva” by Karl-Erik Taukar (5 points)

This song is quite fun to listen to! I really like the music video and I think that’s why I was actually so hooked on the song. It was one point above me and I’m glad it actually was tbh. Such a bop!

Result: 13th (-8)

23 Bulgaria - “Ne Si Za Men” by Kristian Kostov (8 points)

I’ve listened to this song a couple times – both then Bulgarian and English version – and love the Bulgarian entry a bit more. I wish I didn’t overrate it in the jury vote though, it’s a cool song and all but i started listening and liking other songs a week after after I submitted my jury votes.

Result: 15th (-12)

24 Iceland - “Dönsum” by Fridrik Dór

Nothing like good ol’ funk – I really enjoyed this song and im glad it made top 10. I regret not giving it jury points.

Result: 10th (+1)

Biggest jump: Armenia (+14)

Biggest drop: Romania (-13)

Again, a great job to the @sprakvision admins who organized the contest for us. This was my first contest and it was quite some fun!
