I'm entering it to BJSC :kink:

 

When hell freezes over and there are no more good songs left.

Norwegian iTunes

#1 Bjorn

#11 Maria

 

I'd have thought Maria would've been higher given that she's directly into the final :o

prepare to be blown away :P

 

 

why can I imagine somebody sending this to BJSC? :drama:

AMAZING.

 

I'm such a tool :(

:lol: just don't watch the live version - it will make you want to gouge your eyes out and rip your ears off :P

Norwegian iTunes update

#1 Bjorn

#9 Maria

#13 KoK

#49 Elisabeth Carew

#60 Lene

#61 Gaute

 

How much of iTunes makes up the chart in Norway. Like, does this mean Bjorn should get #1?

 

I have posted the video of the Swiss entry on the Swiss post. What do people think? Personally, I think it's quite good

Gaute 61st??! What a joke! The only f***ing norwegian song in the contest :lol:

Gaute's song isn't good enough for big things :( Bjorn heading to the final from Last Chance then :P I was surprised Maria qualified over him to be honest - Keep of Kalessin were always guaranteed finalists

Bjorn for the Caroline-esque runner up style ;D

it could happen :o unless Mira's song is life changing :P

I feel like it may sound better in English, personally I really like it :wub:

 

By the way, I just listened to the three selected songs for the contest so far, and I rank them this way:

 

9.5 Albania (going to be AMAZING in English, super catchy Europop)

8.5 Switzerland (really think it's a grower, subtle and brilliant, I love songs in French :wub:)

4.0 Netherlands (too cheesy even for me, maybe it will sound better with the real singer, but otherwise it's like an entry from the 70s)

I'm not sure if Albania'll translate this year as they usually alternate between English and Albanian. :unsure:

I love bi-lingual versions, i hope they will do it this time. <3

Oooh one verse in English, one in Albanian a la Jan Jan would be great :wub:

Now you mention that, I hope Albania stick to one language. "Jan Jan" was one of my least favourite songs of Eurovision 2009, and the costumes they worse on stage were also awful :puke2:

I won't have anyone say a bad word against Jan Jan :kink: what a song, their latest album's great too :P

Holy $h!t, they have an album!!!? :o :o

 

Bitchplz, it was their national costumes with some additional modern note, not i-am-like-gaga-look-at-me outfit that some trashy clothes designer made up whilst on cocaine.

They have three I think, I only have their latest one Menq Enq Mer Sarere (Heartbeat of My Land)

 

It's not bad actually :P

I will download it tomorrow and give it a listen since rapidshare is being a bitch at evenings as always.

songs from Iceland semi 2 out - my views on first listen;

 

Gefst ekki upp - Menn ársins - an Icelandic language acoustic song - quite nice, some nice backing vocals and harmonies, reminds me of Fall At Your Feet by Crowded House melody wise - nice strings too...considering I don't speak a word of Icelandic - this is really quite nice if not amazing 8/10

 

Gleði og glens - Hvanndalsbræður - sounds like a British indie track from the introduction but the quick appearance of the violins ensures comparisons stop there and it suddenly turns into an Irish jig :lol: really quite bizarre mix of traditional Icelandic folk and indie rock - not as bad as it sounds shockingly - like an old sea shanty somehow :lol: 8/10

 

I Believe In Angels - Sigrún Vala - another English ballad although after Yohanna they were always likely to be high in supply this year! Quite pop country at times in the chorus. Incredibly catchy actually, great modern production (unlike 'The One' which is incredibly dated) and VERY Eurovision - but in a good way. Very ABBA. 9/10

 

Now And Forever - Edgar Smári Atlason - another ballad...sung by a man this time - I'm not overkeen on his voice and the song is quite Westlife-like...it's average but not my sort of thing really 6/10

 

One More Day - Jógvan Hansen mid-tempo song - gets much better as it goes along, but nothing amazing. 7/10

 

hopefully I Believe In Angels and one of the two Icelandic language tracks will go through from this round
