On first listen I really enjoy 'death of us', would not be disappointed if it represented norway.

MGP 2021 was my first live MGP. I kinda expected a few of the names to follow over to 2022 but I guess not?
Giving the tracks a spin now, but have a few geoblocked still.

A bit shocked Emelie Hollow did not make the final cut given her name has been mentioned a lot before the reveal

Maybe listening to the tracks before the performance wasn't a good idea... There isn't much here, is there?
We were spoiled last year... Monument, World On Fire, Feel Again, Hero, Witch Woods, Let Loose ect. I find it hard to believe nobody from last year wanted to take part again this year.

Oh well, at least is something for a few weeks until Melfest returns.

It's an ok selection, a lot of super dated sounding stuff and songs that sound like parodies of what a Eurovision song is supposed to sound like laugh.gif

However, I like and have added the following to my playlists, with my early favourite at the top:

Elsie Bay – “Death of Us” This is brilliantly atmospheric and well produced, could definitely see it top ten at Eurovision
Mari Bølla – “Your Loss” Going for the Olivia Rodrigo vote here clearly, but who can blame her, I like this a lot
Anna-Lisa Kumoji – “Queen Bees”
Mira Craig – “We Still Here” <3 Bless her, never change. It will flop as hard as Headhunted did in BJSC and is completely cut from the same cloth
Sofie Fellvjang – “Made of Glass”
SubWoolfer – “Give That Wolf a Banana” laugh.gif
Christian Ingebrigtsen – “Wonder of the World” A little overwrought maybe but lovely melody, he's always known his way around a decent ballad
VILDA – “Titans”
NorthKid – “Someone”
Alexandra Joner – “Hasta la vista”

Elsie has been installed as the early favourite, and it would be a really good entry for Norway. SubWoolfer second favourite and I wouldn't be surprised to see it snatch the win, it could potentially go viral in the same way The Fox by Ylvis did? Whether that translates to it winning a national final I don't know.

There's theories going around that SubWoolfer *are* Ylvis!

Ha! I’m not altogether surprised to hear that but surprised they didn’t just go by the Ylvis name if so.

19. Give That Wolf a Banana 5/10
20. With Me Tonight 5/10
21. Wonder of the World 5/10

Overall rating: 6.73/10
Top 5 rating: 9/10

Am I the only one who thinks Titans sounds like Chandelier? laugh.gif

Not sure why some people say it is the worst MGP yet. There are some amazing bangers as well as ballads. I think Norway is guaranteed another spot in the final with the quality they have. Definitely the best national selection so far with no songs rated as fail for me.

I've only checked out three of these so far but I've never needed a song to win a selection so badly as Subwoolfer

First NF heat of the season for me!

Expecting/hoping for 'Ecstasy' to make it from these first four songs.

Nevermind. Ecstasy wins the duel for me. Mira's song is absolute garbage.

Duel 2 > Duel 1 the men absolutely dominated this heat.
I'm now worried about the flood of solo female artists we have this year because they didn't bring it this heat.
