January 25, 201114 yr Listening back, I'm HELLACIOUSLY disappointed Alexander Stenerud didn't hold back Find My Girl two years - he could've swept the board this year!
January 25, 201114 yr Don't they usually release an album of the NF entries? If so when is it released? And would someone kindly throw a link my way please? :P THANKYOU IN ADVANCE! :D
January 25, 201114 yr Don't they usually release an album of the NF entries? If so when is it released? And would someone kindly throw a link my way please? :P THANKYOU IN ADVANCE! :D In a couple of weeks probably, I won't be buying it this year but I'll let you know if I see a link - the albums aren't usually as easy to get hold of as the Melodifestivalen albums - Norwegians seem notorious for not sharing music, it's near impossible to obtain illegally or for a fair price if you live outside of the country :drama: Everytime Maria/Mira/Tone/whoever release albums it always seems like weeks before they finally get uploaded somehwere!

Really? I managed to get the NF album two years back quite easily before it was over - have you checked any sites like torrentz.com Jon?
January 25, 201114 yr Really? I managed to get the NF album two years back quite easily before it was over - have you checked any sites like torrentz.com Jon? I don't use torrents so that might be my major problem :lol: I'm not bothered anyway, I've downloaded the 14 songs we have so far, will download the next 7 and then just 'make' the compilation myself.
January 25, 201114 yr I download all the songs as they appear in the semifinals, so i will already have the compilation by the time it's officially released! :D
January 26, 201114 yr Susperia - Nothing Remains - terrible, it's sort of half-arsed meandering sub-Lordi metal 3/10 Noora Noor - Gone With The Wind - Great! I'm sure this will qualify. Definitely the song I've heard so far from Norway that sounds most like an international hit 9/10 Girl Happy - SOS - is it me or is this weirdly reminsicent of Shiny Toy Guns? I like the 80s influence, and "I want to feel the air on my machinery" is the rudest lyric in an ESC semi so far :kink: 8.5/10 Grethe Svensen - Like Dreamers Do - Erm... nice? Very Radio 2 again, but not really anything likeable... 6/10 The BlackSheeps - Dance Tonight - Refreshing to have an English title and a Norwegian lyric, but it's nothing Nephew haven't done before. Not a lot of tune though. 7/10 Stella Mwangi - Haba Haba - GREAT! It's Waka Waka via La Coco-Dance (Monaco 2006). Hope to see this in the final! 9.5/10 The Lucky Bullets - Fire Below - She's got a fire down below... you can get a cream for that. 2/10 IMHO it will be Stella and Noora in the final, and Girl Happy and The BlackSheeps to Siste Sjansen, but maybe that's just what I hope...
January 27, 201114 yr Susperia - Nothing Remains - Hmm...I'm guessing it will get to the final just because these type of acts always do seem to if they appear in NF's but it's nothing of interest to me - not that I can be particularly objective as it's not a genre I have an ear for. 4/10 Noora Noor - Gone With The Wind - Just like I thought, very Jazmine Sullivan, definitely amongst the best in this selection and a real grower I expect. Don't LOVE it though...Is it me or does she look a bit like Kelly Rowland? I've PM'd Aaron about it anyway, sounds like something he might love. 8.5/10 Girl Happy - SOS - REALLY sounds like it samples Starlight by Muse, they want to watch that they don't get a plagarism case agains them :lol: Very catchy though and easily my second favourite song in the semi - I think all songs called SOS are instantly good :heehee: 9/10 Grethe Svensen - Like Dreamers Do - Completely average 6/10 The BlackSheeps - Dance Tonight - Incredibly plain song, even despite the dual language, the English lyrics are ridiculously basic. Listenable though I guess. 6/10 Stella Mwangi - Haba Haba - 6 months too late for the World Cup but it stands right out of this semi! MUST qualify for the final! 9/10 The Lucky Bullets - Fire Below - This really is dire, I'm never listening to it again - truly my least favourite genre of music, I'd rather have metal on all day than be subjected to any more of this 0/10 I predict Stella and Susperia to the final, Noora and Girl Happy to second chance, I hope and pray that Fire Below goes no further :puke:
January 28, 201114 yr Not heard all the songs so far, but I'm loving Mimi Blix - Allergic, Stella Mwangi - Haba Haba and Noora Noor - Gone With The Wind :wub: Really hope GWTW is sent, it's amazing and could potentially do very well in ESC I think!
January 29, 201114 yr Susperia were ok, still not a fan of the song, Noora I didn't like live as much as I thought I would - bored me a bit, Girl Happy's live vocals are a bit off even though I love the song. Not a great start :(
January 29, 201114 yr Grethe has a good voice but performed the most boring song I've heard so far this year, The Blacksheeps had surprisingly strong vocals but I'm still not completely won over by the song. Stella's Waka Waka tribute is the best thing so far by a country mile :wub:
January 29, 201114 yr Susperia and Lucky Bullets to second chance :/ The Blacksheeps to the final :o Nu Aste & Rikki! Hope Stella won the final, she really needs to have done frankly.
January 29, 201114 yr Stella won :party2: Let's bring that world cup fever back to ESC :lol: Realistically then, looks like either Stella, Aste & Rikki or Babel Fish will be going to ESC...I'd be quite happy with either the former or latter option personally, but certainly not the middle option.
January 29, 201114 yr Glad for Stella, but it's a shame Girl Happy didn't make it :( . All in all it was a pretty diabolical heat. Although unlikely, I'm still hopeful Mimi Blix will gain momentum from being in second chance.
