February 3, 201213 yr Nice spot for Nora. Although the winner of the 3rd semi will obviously have bigger advantage.
February 3, 201213 yr GAH! Lise Karlsnes' album is out today on available on Amazon MP3 Germany for the bargain price of 1,99 Euros! Of course the geographical restrictions won't let me buy it and it's not on Amazon or iTunes UK at all :nocheer: Norwegian releases NEVER leak.
February 3, 201213 yr Lise's album is streaming here (thanks to Peter30 for the link!). I knew that Sailors would sound better with an extra minute :wub:
February 3, 201213 yr It's always been amazing :drama: I think Lise's songs are made to be 4 minutes long really, I'd be mortified to hear a three minute 'ESC edit' of Red Hot with the glorious final minute of production cut out, it really makes the song. That's my main and only criticism of Eurovision, songs have to follow this very compact formula, and sometimes three minutes just isn't enough. I always appreciate when artists offer an 'extended version' or 'album version' of their national final entries/Eurovision entries, and they're almost always better.
February 3, 201213 yr I think Lise's songs are made to be 4 minutes long really, I'd be mortified to hear a three minute 'ESC edit' of Red Hot with the glorious final minute of production cut out, it really makes the song. Definitely - although, 'Here We Go' is only just over three minutes and it's one of the most immediately striking on the album. I do kind of like the 'challenge' ESC sets of making a compact, punchy pop song that has to be a set length. Anyway, Dance or Die is a fantastic album - if Lise doesn't get through tomorrow, it'll be a true injustice. What's the easiest way for me to buy this, CDON? (You can forget that, I don't have £15 to spare. *bookmarks SoundCloud*) Edited February 3, 201213 yr by råndomfurlöng

(You can forget that, I don't have £15 to spare. *bookmarks SoundCloud*) True, but they all too often veer into formulaic territory - there are more interesting things that can be done in three minutes than verse-chorus-verse-chorus-key change (as much as I love this structure of course!). Without the time limit the diversity would be so much bigger - although obviously wouldn't work as the contest could run into the 4/5 hour territory :lol: Off Liberty is your friend! I'm sure the album will leak probably by June, four months is the standard for Norwegian releases :lol:
February 4, 201213 yr Author 'Sailors' was really good live! I was a bit undecided before tonight but I quite like it now! :D
February 4, 201213 yr Author This feed keeps freezing on me which is rather annoying considering my internet is GOOD and Melodifestivalen streamed sans problèmes.
February 4, 201213 yr Tooji only 2nd :o Plumbo walking the final then I guess... What's actually first though, Bobby Bare or The Canoes?
