Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu 2017 - My Top 10 - Part 2/2 (Finnish preselction)

UMK 2017 - My Top 10
Places 5 - 1

 

Positon 5: Günther & D'Sanz - Love yourself:

This song reminds me on a typical dancefloor song or, as it was said by Petra Mede last year "A DJ in Eurovision will give you a contemporary stil!". I think that this song might be very successful because the tones are not very complicated and the vocal range is not as difficult as it is for example by Norma John.
In addition with this I will stress that they can do a great show with this song. I am expecting a lot of pyrotechnical effects and an awesome lightshow. In the end is the song not very bad but it is not very well too so I think it is a good place for the middle of the scoreboard!

Position 4: Zühlke - Perfect Villain:

The song starts with a light beat which gives the song the first nescessary  impact.
Zühlke gets a very authentic voice and she profits from her high vocal range and her powerful voice. Unfortunately it is really sad that the lyrics sounds so childish and abstract. That is the reason why I am thinking that this song could not win UMK because how would you get into the minds of the public when you are singing about a theme which sounds (with these lyrics) so abstract. Last but not least I miss the highlight in the song, something what is making me to say: "WoW, amazing...!" - like an exploding moment of the song (e.g. like in Hunger of Molly Peterson-Hammar).

Position 3: Alva - Arrows:

 Her voice sounds so friendly and the song itselves makes me smiling.
Well, I criticized in the last songs the lyrics and sadly I have to do this here again because they are very simpel again but maybe this is a good sight on the song because it is unnescessary what she is singing but the only thing you will remind is the lovely Arrow!
But I must honestly saying that I am fearing about her live performance because the vocals in the video sounds really much like computer so it might be a very different performance on stage. The last point is the liveshow, what will she do because the song will not give you the condition order to light a firework on stage?! We will say but I am definitely curious about her working in the show...

Position 2: Emma - Circle of light:

Before I am going to start the analyzation of the song I would like to say that the descision about the first place was really difficult but these is the opinion of my heart and you will notice what I mean later on!
What a song and it is indisputable the big favourit to win the UMK 2017! There are these upbeating moments of the instruments in the beginnig and when the medieval rhythm is starting my heart begins to jump. If I am honest, I have to say that Emma reminds me a bit on Emmelie de Forrest with Only Teardrops, probally because she has got a well standing personality and a song with a background which she is showing in her song. I am expercting a show with dark lights, a circle of light and three dancers who are telling a story on the stage. There is nothing negative what I have to add but my personal winner have got one more positive reason why it is the leader....

Position 1: Norma John - Blackbird:

I have not got any words for this beautiful masterpiece of song. These melancholical song takes me away from this world and let me feel all sad feelings in the world. First of all it sounds very negative but I cannot describe very well what the song is doing with me. The instrumental sounds and these amazing vocal range of the singer is magical and is the message of the lyrics which maked me crying when I have heard this ong for the first time.
Emma's song was truely good but, for me, this has got the biggest emotional influence on me, the song has caught me!
I do not think that this will win but I think it will be a big fight between these song and those from Emma. Well, I do have to add that I am really expecting a dark stage where only the singer stands in a little light and two dancers are doing their jobs and the will dance as if you were fighting for your life. Only a few light will grow up when the piano in the end is starting to play... A truely memorable masterpiece of emotion!
