SongHunt 2017 finalist presentation: “Hold On” by Nano
SongHunt 2017 finalist presentation: “Hold On” by Nano
Nano could be in Kyiv now, representing Sweden with his song “Hold On”. But our SongHunt rules only allow songs that didn’t win their national finals, but got a lot of love in our Eurovision chat. This love took the song to the heats, the quarter-finals, the semi-finals, and now it’s one of the twelve candidates in the grand SongHunt final. What is SongHunt about, you may wonder? Well, for those who don’t know already: It’s about finding the best national final song of the Eurovision season!
From Melodifestivalen to SongHunt
escgo! was there in Gothenburg when “Hold On” by Nano first entered the Melodifestivalen stage back in February. One month later, it competed in the Melodifestivalen final, where it won the televote but narrowly lost out on the ticket to Kyiv. Bad news for Nano – but at least it did make him eligible for our SongHunt. Of the many Swedish songs that entered the SongHunt heats, no fewer than five reached our grand final. So now it’s time to meet:
Nano – Hold On
Watch the song below, and and if you like it, you might want to give it a vote in our SongHunt poll further down the page! Or maybe you like one of the other entries more? Whatever your choice, you can vote once in each 24-hour period. For full details, see our main post about the SongHunt final.
