Old school redneck music:
Jim, I bet you have an AWESOME music collection. You have posted so many different kinds of music. Interesting.
Wait...this is NOT redneck music, dude! This is classical baroque style. Just sayin'.
Actually, it is about two hundred years before the Baroque period. Really old stuff dating to the 1400s.
Well this is the song my country has deemed the best to represent our country in front of the 600 million viewers who watch the Eurovision Song Contest in may.
I have no strong feelings at all about it to be honest, but I was kind of surprised that he won. Like Eurovision, our national selection show Melodifestivalen tends to be a big ol' mess of pyrotechnics, flashing screens, complicated dance routines and confetti. I guess that was why it won, it was just a simple preformance with a simple, mellow song. Nothing over the top. Though it only won 15% of the televote/appvote so it wasn't exactly a landslide like last year when the winner got 45%, and then went on to win Eurovision as well. Which I don't expect that this song will do, which will probably please our public broadcaster who don't want to go through the enormous cost of arranging Eurovision two years in a row.
But I certainly prefer it to the songs that finished 2nd and 3rd.
ALL of them geo-locked! I had to use Hola to view them, but they are awesome! You live in a very progressive country.
