January 28, 201213 yr She used to be big, way back in 2000 when she was the lead singer of a band called Briskeby. was their biggest hit, which did well in Europe too. It's been so long, and since she is a solo artist now it's almost like starting all over again with the audience. She has a lot of potential to be big again on her own, but Lise Karlsnes hasn't properly introuced herself yet. Participating in MGP will definitely change that, though. I hope people see her decent qualities and like what is surely set to be an amazing song! Wow, I had no idea she had been going that long! I thought Red Hot was like her first ever song (solo or group-wise). I've listened to Sailors, and I prefer it to Red Hot (though I ever liked RH) definitely something different and would stand out in Eurovision! I haven't listened to the rest of the songs, but I'd be happy for Lise's song to win :)

But if Sailors is anything along the lines of Red hot, it definitely seems like it would stand out if she actually won. In a good way though I hope!
January 29, 201213 yr Crap lyrics, I know, but "Elevator" is like Far East Movement's "Like a G6" made for a girlband! LOVE IT! It would do NOTHING at the ESC so not too fussed they didn't qualify. SF1 was pretty throwaway, but SF2 had complete gems in it! "You and I", "Shapeshifter", and the three qualifiers. Very surprised "Make It Better" made it into the final and gutted that Minnie-Oh didn't. Next week, I expect Tooji and Lise Karlsnes to qualify like a boss although I can't really pinpoint one of the qualifiers to win the whole thing. My gut instinct tells me it's gonna be "Ola Nordmann" in Baku though.
January 29, 201213 yr UGH! Minnie-Oh's performance was BRILLIANT. I thought it was/is one of the best performances we would have seen for a Eurovision entry! It disgusts me that it hasn't been given a chance though. She was pretty good live, which I feared she wouldn't be! Glad she proved me wrong. Ah well. Cancel the UK's entry and just steal Minnie for us! This song deserves to be heard! It's quite Robyn-esque.
January 29, 201213 yr UGH! Minnie-Oh's performance was BRILLIANT. I thought it was/is one of the best performances we would have seen for a Eurovision entry! It disgusts me that it hasn't been given a chance though. There's still a slight chance for her to get to the Final as the best 4th placed Semi-Finalist will be the 10th Finalist.
January 29, 201213 yr I don't know what people were SEEING in Minnie Oh's perf but it was a MESS (though given a v hot one). It looked like Lauren Zizes dressed up as a gothic Gaga!
January 29, 201213 yr There's still a slight chance for her to get to the Final as the best 4th placed Semi-Finalist will be the 10th Finalist. That was initially the plan, but now, the 10th finalist is being chosen by a secret jury, so it could be practically anyone! Either way I'm even more optimistic for Minnie-Oh in light of this :D Edited January 29, 201213 yr by Freeze
January 29, 201213 yr Seems like Plumbo is the only act out of SF2 to do well in the charts. They're #5 on Platekompaniet, #25 on iTunes and #15 on VG-lista. Can't see anyone else, sadly :(
January 29, 201213 yr I guess it's Plumbo for Baku then :( Shame cuz I just fell in love with Tommy and his song! :D Really hope to see Minnie-Oh back in the Final, whichever way she gets there! :))
January 29, 201213 yr Really glad Tommy qualified, voted for it :D It was of course obvious that Malin and Plumbo got through as well. I don't think Plumbo can win MGP... I might be wrong thou, but if they do I will be really pissed! :lol: charts and what place they have reached in the semi finals have proved wrong before, so I'm crossing my fingers that Plumbo won't win! :P Tommy is my favorite in the final to win this, Havn't heard all the songs in the last semi final yet, the winner and my favorite might be there.

On the third SF I only really liked "Stay" and "Sailors" but both are not that great IMO. "Sailors" is one of the best-est tracks in the whole competition but I get bored by it quite easily and the verses always make me sing "So Young" by The Corrs. LOL "Stay" is just another male Pop stomper, pretty shallow if I may say. I'm actually rooting for Tommy to win it. Call his number for me if you will Jerick! :lol: Edited January 30, 201213 yr by Gretchen Wülkers

January 31, 201213 yr iTunes update! Plumbo is #2, Tommy Fredvang #22, Nora #40, Minnie-Oh #75 and Malin #97! Glad to see Minnie-Oh doing better than Malin :D I'm missing Rikke Normann and Rikke Lie here, though :(
January 31, 201213 yr Semi final 3 rankings after first listen 10.0/10 Tooji - Stay - OMG, this is AMAZING, so catchy and brilliant! The chours is epic! 8.5/10 Marthe Valle - Si - Really beautiful song! a bit boring at parts, but it saves itself in the second part. 6.0/10 Bobby Bare & Petter Øien - Things Change - There we have one qualifier! Come on, this is Norway... These stuff are popular here !! xD my opinion, 'listenable' 6.0/10 Yaseen & Julie Maria - Sammen - This song is about the terror attacks in Norway 22nd of July... The beginning isn't very good, but the last part I actually liked 3.5/10 Håvard Lothe Band - The Greatest Day - It's not a great song thou 5.0/10 Sylia Nymoen - Euphoria - Not too fussed about it. 2.0/10 The Canoes - Seemed Like a Good Idea - crap 10/10 Lise Karlsnes - Sailors - Amazing!
