I'm also GAGGING at Crystal Ball getting the semi draws completely right for MGP like they did with Eesti Laul, and the FALLOUT that people tried to debunk all these predictions. Even Elsie Bay said she wasn't in the lineup at all initially kink.gif kink.gif

Ulrikke this is your time (again)!!!!!! If what she sends is half as good as Attention (if it’s a ballad) or a banger like Falling Apart, I’ll be literally deceased

My rankings for SF1:

1. Tresko (8/10)
2. Tarer i Paradis (7.5/10)
3. Honestly (7/10)
4. Queen of Kings (6/10)
5. Freaky for the Weekend (4/10)
6. Wave (4/10)
7. Geronimo (2/10)

Are you ok Norway? unsure.gif Why Wave was chosen ahead of youniverse I'd never understand kink.gif Ulrikke's song is so formulaic and cliche that Attention felt a lot more genuine to me. Geronimo is embarrassing omg

Yeah, 'Queen Of Kings' is quite a decent attempt at adding a bit of drama that could translate well to a Eurovision stage. 'Tarer I Paradis' is also quite nice if they wanted to do a Norwegian language song.

'Honestly' has shown up on Norwegian Spotify with none of the others to be seen. Ulrikke's had better, but they could do something with the orchestral, ahem, drop.

If they choose anything other than Ulrikke, Norway are cancelled.

Queen of Kings and Honestly were the two good songs from last night, so glad they're both through. Didn't care for a third qualifier, but happy it's not JOWST... leave Eurovision alone, go get a job

My SF2 ranking:

1. Love You in a Dream (9/10)

4. Prohibition (7/10)
5. Ekko inni meg (6/10)
6. Turn Off My Heart (6/10)
7. Fuego (5/10)

Waist issa huge bop x Love You in a Dream is lovely wub.gif I could definitely see Prohibition as a Suedonia entry ngl. This semi is stacked!

What a snorefest, I’m not sure how but MGP seems to becoming less and less essential to watch.

Horrible result from this heat as well, should have been Sandra, Elsie and Ella - but MGPs hardon for having exclusively female solo artists at the final has been put off yet again.

The qualifiers are:

Jone "Ekko inni meg"
Swing'it "Prohibition"
Elsie Bay "Love You in a Dream"

Swing'it is unexpected but I'm pleasantly surprised. Great to see some diversity in the final but semi-final two is so stacked that great acts such as Sandra Lyng and Ella are eliminated sad.gif

Prohibition and Ekko Inni Meg were clearly the two best of that semi, I'm pleased.
