Sweden SWEDEN 2018 - Benjamin Ingrosso - Dance You Off

[lolita]

I am little shocked to see that Rybak is in front of this beautiful song in the odds, and some others. I know many people here despise it, but childish Norway better than this?! Absolute and huge-NO! X-OI Even last year, there were at least 10 better songs than I Can't Go On, but he managed to stay on 3-5th position.

I think [MENTION=8798]toinou03[/MENTION] has made mistake unintentionally, but point was that people were talking that he will flop so badly. On our Serbian OGAE Forum people called him Flops.

OOOO, nooooo, one of my favorite Swedish musicians of current music age, and my favorite DJ overall! 11

 

[Citelis]

That's shocking! I liked his music so much!

 

[FilipFromSweden]

I can't take it in. I'm heartbroken

 

[hijirio]

Didn't know he's 28.
Apparently he rose to fame at a very early age.

Nice review of the song, for those who like it ( who are rare fans) and have time to read it.

Stage info: They are building new set of lights IN Lisbon right now. That sounds so expensive.

Uuum, I must admit that I am not huge fan of this, if it will sound like this! It makes it to sound even more womanly, they must make those backing vocalists more quiet, it is to high pitched now. People are already complaining all over about his voice (too high-pitched, unpleasant because of it), but this way we can not hear him, only this woman. Now it is completely female voice. I liked it in another way, though! I am not sure if it will be good to be like in this snippet from Melfest, because even now is questionable what will be with this song ( not final, just 1-26 placement). NONO

What a strange pause in the chorus! - I thought until I realised it was the loop starting over. Either he will sing that alone on stage or have a real person in the backing vocals doing a duet - preferable I'd say. I think on the promotion tour he sang it alone or didn't sing at all. I don't consider male falsetto sounding female, I just get Michael Jackson vibes. It's also a common soul thing.

I don't consider it female, too, you know I love it, his voice, falsetto, and whole song. The one of the main reasons I love it is Michael Jackson vibe, my phone is full of his music. But most people are put off this song because of falsetto, and he "sounds like a girl", mean comments are really harsh and rude at its best! I don't know why people are commenting his voice, when they don't have basic knowledge about music and voice ranges, what is falsetto, etc.There will be 5 backing vocalists, 2 boys and 3 girls, and 2 girls of them are doing echo. This is snippet from his 1st rehearsal at Melfest, that was with backing-vocalists instead of backing track. I hope that girl just won't scream and that they will make her little more quiet.

Oh, so you know they will harmonise (jag menar sjunga i stämmor) with him on stage? The two boys and the third girl then?

I am not 100% sure about it, just conclusion from his interviews after Melfest and now from interviews from pre-parties. He has said that on the Melfest 2 girls were doing echo part already, and that he will bring those new 3 backing vocalists to sing instead of backing track. So basically, all those parts that are pre-recorded would be sing by those 3 people, and he will sing his parts like usually.

 

[tsegaye]

It will probably NOT sound like this, even if I didn't mind it. The harmony is poorly mixed with the lead vocal, it sounds more than Benjamin himself. That recording is probably how the backing vocals were arranged WITH the recorded vocals. Don't worry, it will probably sound quite not hollow (? I don't know how to say fylligt in english) in Lisbon

EDIT: ANd btw I LOOOOOVE the female vocalist on that ig-post, her voice is so good??? Especially on the second "i might now"

Hahah, actually, when I listened to it three or more times, I get used to it, and I like it even in that way, but I think that they will manage to make it sound more similar like original track, where we can here more Benjamin's voice than vocalists, because you guys just know how to do Eurovision, and everything what comes with it, so backing vocalists never were problem, and I think it won't be problem now.

 

[lolita]

Beautiful, I love his voice, it is unique! With reason, my fave this year, the kid is talented, in my opinion, haters gonna hate no matter of what is true.

This thread has already 237 pages with over 2360 postings. In the current poll results there are more zeros than twelves.
So the opinions about this entry seem to be quite "polarised" (diverse? not sure about the correct word, but you know what I mean).
On the other hand one does not have to be bold to predict (based on experiences from past years) that Sweden will definitely be in the top 5 in the final show.
So in the end: Why bother?

Well, this song and performance are complete package, really, whether people like it or not, and I will be in shock if it won' t do well, plus this kind of music is the most popular nowadays. I mean, when Robin Stjernberg, who had basic song and basic staging, came 14th, there is no way Benjamin will be out of top 10, there is no logic. And fans hate it because they compare him with Loreen ( I saw lot of comments, that this is not good as Loreen, I know about what I am talking), but it is hard to top Loreen, and it is not fair to compare two completely different artists. And I personally think that fandom underestimated Sweden this year, this is better than last two years, a lot.

Looks like there was a reaction video by Benjamin on wiwiblogg's channel, but they took it down because he was a bit too straightforward and he said bad comments about Hungary, Romania and some other countries.

Wanna watch it so bad
