Re: NORWAY 2018 - Alexander Rybak - That's How You Write A Song

Well....I think that Alexander is back to have fun and enjoy the whole thing and not to win....
To be realistic his song is a NQ but because of his name will be a borderline qualifier..
Anyway in the final it will flop...
4 points...
ps. Alexander is one of my faves of eurovision all the time but this year he is back just to watch and live eurovision with another way!!

Re: NORWAY 2018 - Alexander Rybak - That's How You Write A Song

Alexander Rybak is one of the tragic figures of Eurovision, like Ralph Siegel, Philipp Kirkorov and Thomas G: Son. They can't make an ending to their every year participation. I Mean 2009: Winning with Fairytale
2010: Winner Performance of Fairytale at the Beginning of the Song Contest
2012: together with the other winners as act for one of the Semis in Baku
2013: Melodigrandprix in Norway as composer of "I'm with you"
2015 as composer of Franklin Callejas "I'm still here" in Malta and for Milki in Belarus ("Accent")
2016 in Stockholm in the Line-up of "Love Love Peace Peace"... Did I forget somethin? xthink

"In 7 seasons I've never seen a car crash like this before"

That's what I'm thinking when I look at this.

Re: NORWAY 2018 - Alexander Rybak - That's How You Write A Song

Hmmm listening and watching this is a half enjoyable half embarrasing experience to me. I absolutalely hated Fairytale so this is certainly an improvement for Rybak in my eyes. The first half of the song I found entertaining, he was having fun and also me. The second half gets too ridiculous with the fake violin again. The song I don't really care about. At least and unlike his scandinavian competitor he can sing so just for that I'll give one more point. A 5 it is.

I am too king to give 0 pts to a former Eurovision winner so instead I will give 1 point.

Seriously Norway? You had a song with Rebecca that could potentially enter the Top 10 and you send Rybak. I don't know what to say...

The worst this year! 2009 was way too overrated but this one is even worse!

Man, I am so disappointed Rebecca lost to this song. Nontheless, I will give it five because its still alright. But nothing more, nothing less.

I have to admit after watching performances, my faves Alejandro and Charla K were terrible live…it was almost embarrassing xcry1

STELLA & ALEXANDRA - "You Got Me" deserved victory hands down...

Doesn't Austria as a country has a quite strong Scorpio energy ? Could be a good result for Austria.

Austria is either Scorpio (1st republic of 1918) or Taurus (2nd republic 1955). I tend to think it is Taurus, because Austrians are bit slow and lag behind trends.

:hu: on the other hand has a lot of its most important dates in Scorpio season - 23 October 1989 for Third republic & 17 November 1873 - Unification of Buda, Pest & Óbuda. ;)

Definite top tenner but not enough to win. So far nothing outstanding, get ready for a shock winner this year. ( Malta ?)

I think this will do quite well, better than many think. And honestly, I don't see the juries trashing this too much

I put a long-odds bet on Malta Top 10 the other day, and thought that meant I was being very optimistic about Malta's chances. This is the first time I've seen someone suggesting them as a winner :lol:
