I think he has really blossomed since he came to Sweden ❤️ The video you saw was the live performance from Sweden’s Song Contest. There was NO AUDIENCE at this live broadcast. You are correct that “Tusse” came as a lonely child from Congo when he was 8 years old, he escaped from the wars. Lives with a Swedish family since then. Lost his parents during his travels to Sweden. We are very happy to have him represent our country in Eurovision. I interpret the lyrics as the people that are stuck in the war zone still 😰

I love this song, my definite #1 this year

Love the editing on this video! And I always love seeing Deban reacting because is honest and raw.

My favorite this year. Tusse delivers the full package - great song with a good hook, awesome staging and performance, great charisma, message, classy all around.

I think it was 2015, I heard that 17 out of 40 songs were Swedes involved in one way or another. So we're probably a bit of Eurovision nerds😜💖

Love how he looks at tusse like a proud mom

With John Lundvik, Benjamin ingrosso, and all of there guys you know i haven't really felt anything special about, but Tusse is 19 years old, already won idol and maybe talent idk but I really think that we can win this, Sweden, we can be proud!

Suzanne's reaction is so heartfelt and sharp. I love her analysis about the themes as well!

Soo much love from Sweden !

I'm from sweden and I also feel that tusse sounds like a winning song in idol/talent and so on. I voted on dotter. But i'm not bitter

Buuut.. if people on the night want a song that is simple and is easy to remember and to sing along to then anything can happen. Because Voices is very easy to remember compared to other songs. Maybe basic is not always bad. Voices has an earworm that I can't say other songs have this year. Why complicate things? But we'll see what will happen in May.. And what swedes do good as they always do.. is the staging, a very important factor to do well in this contest. If favourites fail.. then someone else might snatch the trophy.

Predictable is EXACTLY the word that was going through my mind, when I heard this for the first time.... Thank you Deban!!!

Can’t wait for the wiwi jury to start!!!

Great editing!

Tusse is such an extremely talented artist. He changes Lifes and he is fantastic live. He makes THE best of THE song. Tusse really have a message, a bakground and a life history ro back Up THE song. He Will probably winn even uf THE song is not totalt new.

I like it :) Sweden always has good tunes :)

i LOVE how suzanne is becoming an occurring member on wiwibloggs!

TUSSE you are still in school learning your art, you are unique, talented and Sweden loves you ❤️ You have experienced so much hurt and troubles on your journey. I’m sad that you had to come to Sweden as a refugee and loose your whole family in the process. If your parents would know what an awesome person you have become - I’m sure they would be super proud of you!!! Thank God for your survival story and you have adapted well to Sweden en every way. When you won the Swedish Song Contest and asked Christer if you would go alone to the ESC by bus (😱🙏🏻💕) and if you would get to stay the night in a hotel, my heart melted!! You are so innocent and pure, don’t think that Europe knows what they didn’t vote for!! You have won anyways, you have grown, learned about the world and I hope that you stay as humble as before, even after this amazing experience at the Eurovision Song Contest.

I really like the little quirk he got at the end of the tone! Plus I love the beginning of the song and the messsage is so powerful. And the song gets even more powerful knowing what he has been through, he is singing from experiance. It's like it's being political without being political? Tusse and his song - amazing! Will this win? I don't know, but no matter what, it is an important song❤️

Dont you guys ever get tired of bashing Sweden for every song we send? Had any other country sent this you all would have praised it as potential winner. But of course since its Sweden there is naturally "only doing well because of juries". Yes its generic pop but guess what? Others are just as generic. Pop is our cuture, thats how our music industry sounds like. We dont care about ESC, we send what we like, like every country. Yet I dont see Albania or Croatia getting bashed for sending what they like...

@wiwibloggs when will you react to Israel's revamp

As good as we got this year, but we have no clear winner this year (toy)

There's always a lot of talk that Sweden will always do well because it's Sweden, and UK will never do well because everyone hates the UK etc. But then Israelis used to say the same until they suddenly won the whole thing in 2018. I really don't think the country makes a difference. If you look at most other countries in top 10 the last few years, a lot of the songs are fairly generic but well produced pop songs. As such, Sweden doesn't really stand out there in terms of the type or quality of music, and would likely have placed the same regardless of the country of origin.

It's a song that's trying to be really meaningful but the lyrics are so cliche and predictable that it doesn't really make you feel anything. Slightly uplifting, middle of the road songs are what Sweden seem to specialise in for the last number of years. Will they ever find something like "Amar Pelos Dois", "1944", "Arcade" or something as risky/creative as "Toy"? I'm not so sure about that

Denis There is a difference between merely "not inventing something new" and "doing literally the same thing one has been doing every year since 'Heroes' won". The lyrics of "Voices" are also a prime example of peak vapidity: Just standard words for the sake of having lyrics, with about as much meaning behind them as Jessica Mauboy's "We Got Love". "Arcade", meanwhile, set up one unusual metaphor and managed to carry it across the entire song consistently.

I'm with Deban here, the song isn't bad it's just very basic, it will probably be liked by the juries but not so much the televotes, it could just scrape through to the final where it will maybe end 16th? I prefer A Million Voices a million times over Voices:)

I think Tusse is great. But the song is a bit meh. I agree that it’s very predictable. After you’ve heard the chorus once the rest of the song doesn’t really offer anything, which is a shame. Having something unpredictable close to the end of the song could have elevated it. Personally I also prefer the studio version to the live performance. I think the vocals have more nuance and flavour, which the song itself is kind of lacking. I predict squeaking by to the final (semi 1 is looking really tough!) and a bottom half finish in the final.
