Re: NORWAY 2018

With the scene Rybak singing his song while other participants stand behind him feels like Rybak is lecturing them "See, that's how you write a song"

if he sings about how to write a song maybe he could have written a better one.

This is so dated funky... But that doesn't make me enjoying song. I give it 5 pts.

By normal conditions this honestly should not qualify.

He could be pulling a Dana International, former winner coming back and not qualifying

If he really wins - which I doubt - his final performance would be a triumph (maybe being perceived by some as kind of arrogant)
If he looses... the lyrics become very pathetic all of a sudden.
Writing those lyrics is a big risk...

Very happy about this. Rybak was much better than Rebecca (song-wise), and it's just great fun :D
Well done, Norway.

8 points.

Super boring, another song I don't need to listen again until May.
I think it might struggle to qualify. I doubt people in Europe will vote for Norway just because it's Rybak, he doesn't really have a fanbase like you can find in the ESC bubble, it's the song what matters and this is not a good one.

Was Wallman bad live? I didn't watch MGP but I wonder why people didn't support "Talk to the Hand"... I really loved that song

His performance was super weak but he still made the top 4.

i'm actually sure that this will qualify and do pretty good. u can't deny rybak is a really likeable performer. that doesn't change my optinion about the song though.

Re: NORWAY 2018

Oh fuck you Norway.

To be frankly serious for a moment now, I wasn't looking forward for him to return if his only goal was to wipe the floor with the contestants. But if he does, at least it's not Sweden and the hosting of Norway's will bookend the decade :D But really though, I hope it doesn't. I could even take Estonia winning over this winning, really. :lol:

So a really not wise decision...

And I'm especially chagrinned for Ringdalen and his two huge posters going to waste after tonight's MGP... but at least it's not too bad for him in Eurovision 2018 anyway as he can stan for someone else than his country, right? ^_^
