Re: NORWAY 2018

I will have to listen to the songs later. From the little I heard it sounds good, but I feel like many of the songs sounds a bit alike. Now they are bringing this years songwriters on stage (not everyone is present though).

Okay, I will wrap up my little live blogging, and I will listen to the songs later.

Re: NORWAY 2018

Walmanns Song is better than last year.

Re: NORWAY 2018

I think Norway will have a hard time qualifying this year, how come the songs were SO much better between 2012-2015? There were at least 3 songs that were great each year and now there's none...

Re: NORWAY 2018

Alex wants his record back.

After having heard the Song. I dont think he will win.

Havent heard to all Songs, but surprisingly I like Aleks Walmann and Ida Maria the most.

Re: NORWAY 2018

Norway and a top 10 televoting will not happen for a 5th year in a row! What a generic selection where all songs were made with Eurovision in mind which has been your downfall for quite some time now.

Aleksander Walmann has the best song but I'm not sure if sending him again so soon to Eurovision is a good idea.

Re: NORWAY 2018

Btw for those who dont know norwegian, I found a translation for Vidar Villas Song:

Norwegian:
Jeg bærer en hemmelighet
En ting som ikke du eller noen andre vet
Jeg har forelsket meg igjen
Tror at jeg har funnet min sjelevenn

Hun er solbrun
Hun er våt, vakker og vill
Jeg tror du vet hvem jeg sikter til

Jeg vil ha moren din
Jeg vil ha leppene hennes mot mitt kinn
Vet det blir rart for deg
Men jeg elsker hennes ratta-ta-ta-ta
Jeg vil ha moren din

Hennes himmelblå øyne skriker ja
Hun vet hennes kjærlighet er alt jeg vil ha
Glemmer helt at hun er 55
Når jeg besøker det som en gang var ditt hjem

Jeg elsker henne
Og jeg tror hun elsker meg
Og best av alt, hun ligner på deg

Jeg vil ha moren din
Jeg vil ha leppene hennes mot mitt kinn
Vet det blir rart for deg
Men jeg elsker hennes ratta-ta-ta-ta
Jeg vil ha moren din

Og hvis du virkelig er min venn
Så blir du glad for meg og mamma
Uten å bli forbanna
Jeg tror du vet hvor jeg vil hen
Du skal bli storebror igjen

Jeg vil ha moren din
Jeg vil ha leppene hennes mot mitt kinn
Vet det blir rart for deg
Men jeg elsker hennes ratta-ta-da-ta
Jeg vil ha moren din


Translation:
I have a secret
Something not you or any others know
I have fallen in love again
Think that I’ve found my soulmate

She is tanned
She is wet, beautiful and wild
I think you know who I mean

I want your mother
I want her lips against my cheek
Know it will be strange for you
But I love her ass-ass-ass
I want your mother

Her sky blue eyes scream yes
She knows that her love is all I want
Forget completely that she’s 55
When I visit what once was your home

I love her
And I think she loves me
And the best of it all, she looks like you

I want your mother
I want her lips against my cheek
Know it will be strange for you
But I love her ass-ass-ass
I want your mother

And if you really are my friend
Then you’ll be happy for me and your mom
Without being pissed
I think you know what I mean
You’re gonna be a big brother again

I want your mother
I want her lips against my cheek
Know it will be strange for you
But I love her ass-ass-ass
I want your mother

Re: NORWAY 2018

I think it is clear that Aleksander Walmann will win again this year. His song is a real grower ! The others are very bland.
