December 22, 201113 yr Author I'm really looking forward to this. MGP 2009 was divine and I loved watching each semi. I hope this is as good! ^_^
December 23, 201113 yr Disappointed with the lack of songs in norwegian. ('Si' could also well be a norwegian song. So 2 in Semi 3)
December 23, 201113 yr Ah yeah, I thought 'si' as yes in Spanish! :lol: In Norwegian 'si' means 'say' :)
January 15, 201213 yr OMG! Some of the songs have been leaked! (I have only listen to the previews) :o Tooji - Stay http://www.amazon.de/Stay/dp/B006XOGO1Q/re...7894&sr=1-1 Lise Stokke - With Love http://www.amazon.de/With-Love/dp/B006XOET...8231&sr=1-1 Rudi Myntevik - You Break It You Own It http://www.amazon.de/You-Break-Own/dp/B006...8351&sr=1-1 Kim André Rysstad - Så Vidunderleg http://www.amazon.de/S%C3%A5-Vidunderleg/d...8408&sr=1-1 Yaseen & Julie Maria - Sammen http://www.amazon.de/Sammen/dp/B006XOGH6S/...8456&sr=1-1 Tommy Fredvang - Make It Better http://www.amazon.de/Make-it-better/dp/B00...8598&sr=1-1 Reidun Sæther - High On Love http://www.amazon.com/High-On-Love/dp/B006...58&sr=301-1 The Carburtors - Don't Touch The Flame http://www.amazon.com/Dont-touch-the-flame...43&sr=301-2 Plumbo - Ola Nordmann http://www.amazon.com/Dont-touch-the-flame...43&sr=301-2 Lise Karlsnes - Sailors: http://www.mega-media.nl/info.php?lid=603399 Rikke Lie - Another Heartache: http://www.mega-media.nl/info.php?lid=603381 Rikke Normann - Shapeshifter: http://www.mega-media.nl/info.php?lid=603392 Seems like a great quality in those songs :)
January 16, 201213 yr Irresistable - Elevator 07.5 ---- cheesy catchy electro-pop. Definitely NOT for Eurovision. An instant DNQ. Kim André Rysstad - Så vidunderlig 08.0 ---- Nice little MoR song. Lisa Stokke - With Love 07.5 ---- Can anyone help me figure out which song it reminds me of so much, especially the chorus, which seems like the copy of the song I can't recall? Nora Foss Al-Jabri - Somewhere Beautiful 08.0 ---- SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAAAAAAAINBOOOOOOOOW. Sounds do musical-ish and way too old for 2012. Quite a nice song nevertheless. Reidun Sæther - High On Love 05.0 ---- Boring country-poppy-Kelly-Clarkson-rock crap. Rudi Myntevik - You Break It, You Own It 06.0 ---- Again, quite boring. Where do they get this MoR trash from?! The Carburetors - Don't Touch The Flame 00.0 ---- This is so going to the final even if it's absolutely ABYSMAL. Vocals are absolutely TERRIBLE, music is metal-rock 101. Horrible. United - Little Bobbi 09.0 ---- Now THIS is GOOD. Like VERY good. Catchy, fresh, interesting.
January 16, 201213 yr Sailors sounds very promising! Come on Lise :D I'd download all of the Semi 1 songs now if the blog that we love to hate didn't put everything on the DIRE Uploading.com :/ Also apparently the album is out today in Norway, so hopefully it won't be too long before all of the songs are up somewhere!
January 16, 201213 yr I've got Lise's song in full - downloaded it from that Dutch website that Jerick posted the link to, cost me £1 after the currency conversion, I LOVE it (quelle surprise, I know!). A natural successor to Red Hot :wub: I'm not leaking it though, sorry. I'm sure it will be up later in the day though if the CD is out today in Norway! Or the guy on the blog will buy it and upload it. It's worth £1 though if you want to hear it that desperately like I did! I also just paid for a three month Uploading.com account, make my life easier for the next few months :lol:
January 16, 201213 yr Just downloaded all the songs. They will be uploaded to mediafire in a less than an hour. If anybody wants of course :o Edited January 16, 201213 yr by E v e r d e e n
January 16, 201213 yr 'Sailors' is nothing special to be honest :( And I completely don't get how The Canoes are the favourites to win! Plumbo, I do, because they are like #1 on iTunes or something. Plus, they are ethnic and good.
January 16, 201213 yr Irresistable - Elevator - Pop trash, and a rent-a-rapper too! Typical BJSC mid-bottom of the table fare, and wouldn't work at Eurovision. That said, it's catchy and fairly enjoyable in small doses. 8/10 Kim André Rysstad - Så vidunderlig - Bland country MOR, wouldn't get out of a Eurovision semi. 5/10 Reidun Sæther - High On Love - I really like this, she has a great voice and the very subtle strings in the background add a nice touch. It is indeed Kelly Clarkson with a key change, but also something that I could imagine Sanna Nielsen tackling. 9/10 Rudi Myntevik - You Break It, You Own It - Exactly the sort of thing I hear all day at work, MOR through and through, made especially to go in one ear and out the other leaving nothing more than a 'quite pleasant' and inoffensive aftertaste. 7/10 Lisa Stokke - With Love - Wow, loving the air guitar! It's MOR-Schlager meets the 80s, it's what I wish In A Moment Like This had sounded like and surely this is sailing through to the final? Sounds like a more exaggerated version of Right Here Waiting by Richard Marx melody wise... 9.5/10 United - Little Bobbi - Very modern and contemporary, really interesting production but at the same time the chorus sounds like something that 'N Sync or somebody might have done, instantly catchy too...couldn't see it doing that well at Eurovision though. 8.5/10 Nora Foss Al-Jabri - Somewhere Beautiful - This is so Disney, the intro especially! The music and build up of the verses, and backing instrumentation, is beautiful but the chorus is very 90s and slightly less impressive than the verses, the song takes me back to my childhood even though this is the first time I've ever heard it :lol: Love it but dated and would do about as well as Nadine Beiler did at Eurovision! 9/10 The Carburetors - Don't Touch The Flame - Chad Kroeger like vocals, great. Sounds like a metal version of Don't Pay The Ferryman by Chris De Burgh. It's catchy enough considering I hate this genre, and kudos for the key change! It will no doubt go through to the final, but there are much more deserving songs. Sounds like the sort of song that would feature in the background of some third rate rally driving video game. 6/10 My favourites: 1. With Love 2. High On Love/Somehwere Beautiful 3. Little Bobby How many songs go through to the final, three? If so then I reckon it will be Don't Touch The Flame, Little Bobby and With Love going further.
January 16, 201213 yr 'Sailors' is nothing special to be honest :( And I completely don't get how The Canoes are the favourites to win! Plumbo, I do, because they are like #1 on iTunes or something. Plus, they are ethnic and good. Not quite as good as Red Hot in the melody but the Robyn-esque production is just as infectious, I'm hooked! I'll have a link when you get one please! Where do you get them from, torrents? :o

Where do you get them from, torrents? :o Nah, downloaded them from the russian facebook site with a Internet Download Manager program (much faster than caching like I used to do!). :o Apparently 3 guys already had these songs in their music files! Quick bitches. :o My internet connection broke once so I have to re-upload them now. :drama:

Quick bitches. :o My internet connection broke once so I have to re-upload them now. :drama: Wow :o Just as well, any CD's that are released in Norway take MONTHS to ever be uploaded anywhere, I remember being bored of waiting for Maria Haukaas Whatever's last album, it finally surfaced on a download site at least a month after coming out in Norway :lol: In contrast, Swedish releases are always easy to find!
January 16, 201213 yr Well, it's Eurovision so it's bound to leak fast. There're many nutjobs like me here. :D
January 16, 201213 yr Interesting fact, in case some people don't know! Lise Karlsnes' album is out February 3rd. :o
