BJSC 100: Eva Weel Skram - Berre La Meg Vær (Live fra Lille Sal)


Nå kan eg ikkje seie unnskyld
Eg slepp deg ikkje nær, berre la meg vær, berre la meg vær
I hjertet ditt i det du døy
Berre la mæ vær, la meg være her
Finn noken bedre enn meg, finn noken bedre enn meg
Såvidt eg flyt, men eg puster
Ende alltid opp her

This is absolutely breathtaking, it was my 18-pointer in the semifinal in case you didn't see. A real shame it hasn't qualified but I appreciate the discovery so much so thank you for sending it wub.gif

I also love this song. She sounds a lot like Susanne Sundfor. I was in the other semi so couldn't vote for it. It might have got my 18 had it qualified for the final.

Andre Chansen: Linnea Dale - A Room In A City [Tinnmark]


Love me less, then I'll love you more
Hear the noise from the city
It's a dance that we danced before
In a room in a city by the sea

Decisive moment all in black and white
See your reflection in the ambient light
Black and white, you and me
In a room in a city by the sea




This month Lotunia is taking part in two contests. One of them is Andra Chansen, which is a contest that gives a second chance to a song that has been submitted before. The song I chose is named "A Room In A City" by Linnea Dale which was entered by Tinnmark in 2013… in other words long before I began participating tongue.gif . Linnea is most known for being one of the vocalists in the Norwegian group Donkeyboy, she has released two albums (the song is taken from her second album Good Goodbyes) and one EP as a solo artist.

Originally, I was going to enter this song last autumn until I discovered that it already had been sent and not qualified in its contest several years before. Either way, the song is a lovely piece of Scandinavian pop with a beautiful melody. I hope that this time around Linnea Dale might be able gain some new fans and get a good placing, hopefully happy.gif .

Worldvision III: Kerli - Feral Hearts


The whole world trying, to tame the spark
But we've got fire, burning bright, hidden
Catch the shimmer of showering stars
The sky gets dimmer, and your light shows

Feral hearts, in the night
Loving like we've been kept captive
Free to light
Feral hearts, come alive
Loving like we've been kept captive




For my first try in worldvision I got Estonia, a country that I did not know that much about when it comes to their music scene. To be honest I only knew some artists through Eurovision and Eesti Laul. While I did find some quite interesting artists that are less known then Kerli I decided to send the most famous one in this spin-off simply because I have no idea if she would be vetoed in the main contest or not. The other artists that I considered for this spin-off might or might not be sent to the main contest in the future.

BJSC 101: Hoàng Thùy Linh - Bánh Trôi Nước


Rắn nát mặc dầu tay kẻ nặn
(Whatever way hands may shape me)




This time Lotunia has decided to go for a Vietnamese artist named Hoàng Thùy Linh with the song "Bánh Trôi Nước". Hoàng Thùy Linh bases the song on the poem "Bánh Trôi Nước" by Ho Xuan Huong. The poem only has 4 sentences and 28 words. The title of the poem and song, 'Bánh Trôi Nước', is the name of a sweet cake that the poet used as a metaphor to describe the life of women in her time. Although they might face hardship and inequalities, they always stay faithful to their family and friends.

Okay I am obsessed with 'Bánh Trôi Nước'. Once it began I thought "ooh... the vibes of this are nice" but then it was taken to a whole other level with that final minute *.* a masterclass in building. <3 I will riot if this doesn't qualify x buuut surely it should have enough big fans in the semi to make it through. So glad I'm in your semi anyway!

BJSC 102: Petra Marklund - Händerna Mot Himlen

Tror du att du och jag kommer att minnas den här kvällen?
Tror du att du och jag kommer att drömma oss tillbaka?
Tror du att vi kommer leva lyckliga i alla våra dar?
Även om vi aldrig mer ses

Händerna upp i luften
Pannan mot baren, nu spränger vi taket
Hamnar i himlen, där änglarna gråter
Stan är vaken, allt är förlåtet älskling!
Händerna upp i luften
Vi ska bli fulla, livet är meningslöst
Vem bryr sig?
Natten är vacker, du är som natten
Och jag är en vinnare igjen

BJSC 103: Faun - Federkleid

Komm und fliege mit uns fort
Lass den wind dich tragen
Weit fort von diesem ort
Komm und flieg so hoch du kannst
Lass uns die himmel jagen
Im tanz!




Following Hoàng Thùy Linh and Petra Marklund this year is Faun with their medieval sounding song. The song "Federkleid" is the first song I have sent in German to this contest, and is also the fifth song in a row that is not in English.

Huge thanks to everyone that has voted for Lotunia the two last contests! We have managed to land ourselves in the top twenty three times in a row ohmy.gif , something that I honestly thought would be impossible for a little country like Lotunia. This means that we have qualified six out of nine tries (q-q-q-dnq-dnq-dnq-q-q-q,)… I sense a pattern mellow.gif and looking at our qualification history we are duo a dnq next month laugh.gif Anyway, I have not fully decided on what to enter yet, I think I might put out some of my potentials? idk.
