January 22, 201114 yr Endre and Mimi Blix to second chance - very good news! Hanne direct to the final :cheer: Nu Tone!
January 22, 201114 yr Great stuff! Hopefully Mimi-Blix will qualify from Second chance. Fingers crossed Gypsydance is also in the final, but I can see Pernille & Marius going through sadly :(
January 22, 201114 yr Great stuff! Hopefully Mimi-Blix will qualify from Second chance. Fingers crossed Gypsydance is also in the final, but I can see Pernille & Marius going through sadly :( Babel Fish! Very pleased about that - definitely my 4 favourites of the night progressing - good choice Norway. It's a very anthemic song, wouldn't mind it winning MGP actually, the juries would love it in ESC - and it clearly came first so it's this and Aste & Rikki (:drama:) are the realistic contenders so far. Thank GOD Pernille & Marius didn't go through - they made Chanee & N'Evergreen look like they had incredible chemistry :lol: Surprised Norway completely ignored Sand though :o And Gypsydance would have done better in Moldova...
January 22, 201114 yr I'm not a fan of Babel Fish at all. I find it rather mediocre :( Gypsydance would indeed have made a brilliant Moldovan entry!
January 22, 201114 yr I'm not a fan of Babel Fish at all. I find it rather mediocre :( I really like it, it's exactly like I imagined - Take That meets Lonestar. I Really like the harmonies on it, I find it very anthemic as it climaxes - not sure about him starting behind that house prop though :lol:
January 23, 201114 yr I voted for Mimi Blix, really suprised Babel Fish made it to the final.. I can't say they were my favorites :P
January 24, 201114 yr MIMI BLIX :wub: Quick someone give it RedOne to re-produce and flog to Nicole Scherzinger :wub: (and Hanne Sorvaag too :wub: - Norway don't half produce some nice looking women, do they? :o Tone, Hanne, Mimi Blix (i.e. Poundstretcher Nicole Scherzinger - Looks wise))
January 24, 201114 yr http://www.nrk.no/programmer/tv/melodi_grand_prix/1.7460529 Susperia - Nothing Remains - I don't like this kind of music, but it's better then Keep of Kalessin from last year :) 4/10 Noora Noor - Gone With The Wind - Very catchy, but not a winner.. just great music 8/10 Girl Happy - SOS - OMG this is soooo good :wub: haha it's cute :lol: remind me a little bit of late 90's early 00's - 9.5/10 Grethe Svensen - Like Dreamers Do - This was very boring, maybe a gower... 6/10 The BlackSheeps - Dance Tonight - They were much better in Nordic MGP jr with Oro Jaska Beana.. the verses is in Norwegian thou :) 6.5/10 Stella Mwangi - Haba Haba - Oh this make me wanna dance :dance: would be a cool act to watch live (like Greece and France in ESC 2010) 9/10 The Lucky Bullets - Fire Below - I like Johnny Cash... I don't like The Lucky Bullets.... 4/10 The quality in SF3 is... BAAAAD... Oh well...Now we know Norway won't win... :P
January 24, 201114 yr Finalen 5. Stella Mwangi - Haba Haba 6. Girl Happy - SOS 7. Åste & Rikke 8. Babel Fish Superfinalen Helene Bøksle Hanne Sørvaag Endre Mimi Blix I don't mind any of the one I put in the superfinal to win
January 24, 201114 yr Susperia - Nothing Remains Not my sort of thing at all but I can hear a tune in it at least! Don't think I'll like it in full though... Noora Noor - Gone With The Wind Not bad, it's not getting me excited though...sounds a bit Jazmine Sullivan Girl Happy - SOS Cheesy, will probably like it in full... Grethe Svensen - Like Dreamers Do *Yawn* The BlackSheeps - Dance Tonight Doesn't sound that great at all... Stella Mwangi - Haba Haba Really like this! It sounds like it should be an anthem for last year's World Cup though :lol: The Lucky Bullets - Fire Below Atrocious, sounds like US diner music from the 1950's - one of my least favourite genres of music :puke: This had better not go further! Well...Norway certainly won't be winning ESC 2011 :( There's no MGP winner in this semi, I'm certain that Susperia will progress through to the final, along with Noora or Stella perhaps - but none of these are winners. None of the second chancers will win either, so it looks as if it's realistically between Aste & Rikki and Babel Fish - and I'm praying that the latter's chosen - it's really anthemic and quickly becoming one of my favourite NF songs. In fact, I'd like Hanne Sorvaag to win but she seems like the sort of act destined to come 2nd or 3rd in this :drama: Helene could win but really it's a watered down Alvedansen and you have to ask what's the point when that epic could only finish 14th? I really can't get into Aste & Rikki's song at all and I really think it's an instant ticket to stay in the semis if that wins.
January 24, 201114 yr I think 'Vardlokk' and 'Alvedansen' is very diffrent.. Only close thing is that both are about Mythology :P 'Alvedansen' and 'Vardlokk' is not even in the same language but for you that would be poteto potato :kink:

Only close thing is that both are about Mythology :P 'Alvedansen' and 'Vardlokk' is not even in the same language but for you that would be poteto potato :kink: Similar production/new age feel to them, imo - I have no idea what the lyrics are about on either song :P I do tend to love songs with this earthy/epic sound like Den Vilda, The Voice, Alvedansen, Nocturne etc...but Vardlokk's melody is a little underwhelming compared to those four.
January 24, 201114 yr Like Dreamers Do is very much like something off Happyland... Haba Haba is the only thing REMOTELY worth listening to in this terrible heat! They should've put more of the divine heat 2 in this one so it would've had better competition... Overall, I'd LIKE to see a superfinal of (and think it quite realistic that we could see one of): Helene Bøksle Åste & Rikke Babel Fish Mimi Blix But I have a feeling some horrid Keep of Kalessin style entry will kick out Mimi Blix. Babel Fish or Helene to Dusseldorf I imagine...

Babel Fish or Helene to Dusseldorf I imagine... The top three yes, I don't see Mimi making the superfinal at all - or indeed probably making it out of second chance, sadly. I reckon Susperia will be the other super finalist and the results will be; 1. Babel Fish 2. Åste & Rikke 3. Susperia 4. Helene 2-4 could be any way round but Babel Fish screams winner, at least that performance did to me - very polished and anthemic imo, and there hasn't really been anything like it in ESC for quite a while. Hanne Sorvaag might be in the top four actually, but at the expense of who I don't know... If Åste & Rikke win then I really don't know what's gone wrong - album filler from 1998 isn't my sort of thing in 2011 I'm afraid.
January 24, 201114 yr I am just getting into 'Allergic', really loving it now :wub: I wouldn't mind Aste & Rikke winning, I've gotten into it quite a bit. But the semi draw would probably make it a non-qualifier :(
January 24, 201114 yr I can tell that the Babel Fish song will be the new Everybody if it gets to Eurovision. Meaning that I absolutely love it and everybody else can't stand it :lol: It's all in those Take That-esque harmonies!

But the semi draw would probably make it a non-qualifier :( I think it would manage to be a non-qualifier by its own merits! It's an ok song and catchy but it's so throwaway and cheap, it has no 'winner' quality to it whatsoever imo. I'm not even going to use the 'it's dated' argument that I used against Chanee & N'Evergreen last year, because at least that was anthemic and a strong melodic pop song. I seriously thought it was a shoe in for last in its semi, not the bloody winner!
