Plurra.

Somehow Benjamin Ingrosso’s new name in the Plura section sums up perfectly.

My thoughts are going to Benjamin Ingrosso.

It is not easy for him.

“Benji” is basically the only contestant who seems to care that lunch and dinner are filmed on Gotland.

Someone has to say something. Someone has to do something. In either case, someone must pretend to care and take social responsibility.

He has become the eager boyfriend and / or girlfriend of the season running around his absent partner and trying to create the best possible environment.

Talk, talk, talk. Pepper, clap, pat and close your eyes and mouth in a hundred jerks. Everyone should join in, everyone should feel good, every day is a cream pie.

The Voyager II spacecraft would take several years to travel between the planet Benjamin and the distant moon Plurra.

Ingrosso deserves at least a framed diploma for his efforts. The distance between him and Plura Jonsson It is currently so large that the solar system barely reaches. The Voyager II spacecraft would take several years to travel between the planet Benjamin and the distant moon Plurra.

At the checkout, Plurra has decided. He cannot stand. It’s probably now. The maximum speed is 0.5 kilometers per hour. As he himself says:

“I’m too old and I can’t bear to worry about this.”

Yes, there you have it. Plura makes that comment aptly after Lisa Nilsson tried to get participants to think about who they are in private and in public. Do they have a personality?

It becomes a kind of liveliness of the introductory lines of text in Arja Saxonmaas Old hits “High above the sea”:

“Who are you, who am I, living charades.”

Probably that segment had landed better in the culture magazine “Babel” on SVT.

Silvana Imam It is the second drum kit that gives the show its steering speed. At a rapid pace, it brushes against SD’s fierce criticism and reminds viewers that its ideological opposite, Jimmie ÅkessonYou probably started your career on Twitter.

Right now, everyone involved seems to be more interested in what will be “good television” than what will be good music.

In ordinary cases, perhaps, and his graphic sexual pimp version of Ingrosso’s song “Do You Think He Cares” would have been loaded themes. In this format, everything passes for the most part fluttering and becomes part of a joyous Saturday hug.

So the music? Houston, this can hopefully be fixed, but we already have a problem again.

Right now, everyone involved seems to be more interested in what will be “good television” than what will be good music. Which in most cases creates awful, tense adult fun.

Benjamin Ingrosso’s version of “Light All the Candles” is really the only thing to save for posterity.

And there will be more. Comes next week Lili and susie. I can hardly wait.

THE RATING OF THE SONG

“Happiness” (Lisa Nilsson)
Oh no. Nilsson tries to put Ingrosso’s song in a fancy soul pop case, but the generation gap shows when he sings the boyish lyrics. The words sound weird, awkward, and a bit silly.

“Poor peasant boy” (Markus Krunegård)
Wouldn’t it be fun if Markus Krunegård did one of the Tommy Körberg show numbers, written by Astrid Lindgren and Georg Riedel? Well, kind of fun if we want to be completely honest. However, in the instrumental last minute of the cover, it seems that Krunegård is sobering up and getting back to himself.

“Forever” (Tommy Körberg)
Wouldn’t it be fun if Tommy Körberg did a Silvana Imam song? Absolutely, lajbans. The choir, which is more or less Las Vegas-Elvis, is really excellent. But the rest? Hearing and watching Körberg rapping to a teleprompter is a hoax that hardly needs to be shown in public again.

“What you see is what you get” (Plura Jonsson)
Tired hat. And why do all the men of Plura’s generation start singing like Ulf Lundell when they grow up? Is there a medical explanation?

“Do you think he cares?” (Silvana Imam and Molly Hammar)
In any case, Imam and Hammar manage to embarrass Ingrosso. Too bad the music doesn’t challenge the concept of “much better” as much as the lyrics.

“Light all the candles” (Benjamin Ingrosso)
The only really decent interpretation of the section. In any case, there is a sensible idea behind the delivery and the music. No one should be surprised if “Light All the Candles” becomes a hit. Ingrosso is at least better at singing and acting than scolding Mauro Scocco.
