Hallåååå!!! Här är jag!! Finally Melodifestivalen returned. I ve been waiting for this so long time. And finally this has come. So now i can write my impressions about the first round of "Melodifestivalen-2017". As you know, i began to watch "Melodifestivalen" only in last years, i knew about him only in 2015. So, ok. Do you know those three magical words??? Absolutely right!!!
DÅÅÅÅÅ KÖR VIIIII!!!!
The hosts of Melodifestivalen became Hasse Andersson(He perfomed in "Melodifestivalen-2015" as you know and know he became the host.), Clara Henry the blogger(She appeared in "Melodifestivalen-2014" in interval act.) And David Lindgren(He perfomed in "Melodifestivalen" three times. At first time he perfomed in 2012 with the song "Shout It Out", where he ended in fourth place. In 2013 he perfomed with the song "Skyline", where he ended in eighth place and in last year he perfomed with the song "We Are Your Tomorrow", where he ended in eleventh place.

So ok, let s see the perfomances of those first round.
1)Boris Rene-"Her Kiss".
Well, not bad. not bad, but i can say that his previous song with which he perfomed in "Melodifestivalen-2016" "Put Your Love On Me" was more better, than "Her kiss". But i don t have nothing against "Her Kiss". There s more funk, super dance moves and beautiful melody. i give 4 from 5.

2)Adrijana-"Amare".
Excuse me, but this is not for me. Althought the melody of this song was good, but all the same i don t like it. This song didn t interest me. And i don t understand why in this number there balerina girls? I think they are not to place. Sorry. i give 3 points from 5.

3)Dina-Nah-"One More Night".
The song also good, but again like in case with Boris Rene, her song "Make Me La-La-La" with which she perfomed in "Melodifestivalen-2015" was more better than her "One More Night". Well, not bad, not bad. but i give 4 from 5.

4)"De Vet Du"-"Road Trip".
Hmmmm, well, i don t know how to react on this song. A little boring number but at the same time i like it because music sounds a little catching. I think this is the new version on Samir and Viktor. From all those guys i like the half naked DJ-Hunk" in black eyeglasses. He s cute and mystery. but at the same i give 3 points from 5.

5)Charlotte Perrelli-"Mitt Liv".
Daaaamn!!! This song is so, so, so boriing. Althought i understand that this song is telling about her hard period in life, but i don t understand why she backed in "Melofifestivalen". She competed in "Melodifestivalen" three times. At first time she won and also won Eurovision Song Contest 1999" with the song "Take Me To Your Heaven". At second time she perfomed again in "Melodifestivalen-2008" and also won with the song "Hero", but in "Eurovision-2008", she ended in 18th place. In "Melodifestivalen-2012" she perfomed with the song "The Girl", but she even didn t reach to the final. And now she perfomed again in "Melodifestivalen-2017" with the swedish song "Mitt Liv". But this song very very boredom. I m sorry Charlotte, but i give 2 points from 5.

6)Ace Wilder-"Wild Child".
Yeeeeah!!! Ace is backed again!!! And her song "Wild Child" was very perfect, she s real super singer! As you know, Ace also competed already in third time in "Melodifestivalen". At first time she perfomed in "Melodifestivalen-2014" with the song "Busy Doin Nothing" where she ended in second place, at second time she perfomed in "Melodifestivalen-2016" with the song "Don t Worry" where she ended in third place. And now i hope that Ace can win in this year "Melodifestivalen-2017". She s my favorite. I believe in her. I give strong 5 points from 5. The video with this perfomance as you know is upset because the songs of finalists is available only after fourth round of "Melodifestivalen".
7) Nano-"Hold On".
Well, i don t know. I think you can listen this song when you feel so blue and you have depression and you don t know what to do. Nano had a hard perion in his life, but he could survive. Well, i can give 4 points from 5.
After this there was interval act in which Hasse Andersson sang with the metal-rock band "Mustasch" the song "Änglahund". That was absolutely fantastic. And Hasse looked so great in black costume. Super! Fantastic!

After perfomances there was first voting that only five songs can go further. It s...
1)Boris Rene-"Her Kiss".
3)Dina Nah"-"One More Night".
4)"De Vet Du"-"Road Trip".
6)Ace Wilder-"Wild Child".
7)Nano-"Hold On".
Adrijana with "Amare" and Charlotte Perrelli with "Mitt Liv" knocked out from the first round.
And there was second interval act. There were "Göteborgsoperans danskompani", which danced unusual dance "Untitled Black". Very interesting. Sadly i didn t find the video of this perfomance.
So here s the result of first round.
The finalsts of first round became... NANO AND ACE WILDER!!!!
Boris Rene and "De Vet Du" went to the second final. And sadly Dina-Nah was knocked out from the first round.
Here they are the winners of first round.
