FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF SEMI FINAL 1 in the Swedish selection

Fans have been able to listen for approximately one minute each to the 7 songs in the first semi final.
I was not impressed with any of the 7 songs after hearing them for the first time – there is no instant hit for me.
Here is my rankings
7th – BORIS RENE
Not at all my kind of music
6th – ADRIJANA
Expected more of this song from seeing the title
5th – ROAD TRIP
Was hoping for a catchy boy band song and hearing about the car on stage, but the song is not really for me
4th – ACE WILDER
This is too wild but I guess it will win this semi final
3rd – NANO
Nice song but I expected a stronger voice
2nd – CHARLOTTE
Not a bad song, but quite slow, maybe it is because I expected a faster song from her like “Take me to your heaven” and “Hero”. Surprised it is last in the voting so far
1st – DINAH NAH
She looks nice and the song is typical pop
