NORGE - Norway 2010- Didrik Solli-Tangen - My Heart Is Yours

[aletem]

Norway won't do well this year. This is plain and forgettable. :| The 5 year strike of good songs is over for Norway. Looking at the bright side, you are already in the final.

 

[Anjeza]

I'm also disappointed... Norway had KoK, Maria Haukaas Storeng and A1 and what did they choose? A guy besides whom Rybak looks like a hard rock singer...

 

[Nike]

0 pts! This is so boring and forgetable. Sorry but I don't think Norway will do well this year. Norway are lucky they are already in final.

 

[Milos-BC]

^^ I agree. I doubt it would've even qualified if it wasn't in the final directly. He sings nice, but the whole song is really boring, and nothing that will appeal to people a lot. He sings nice, it makes the song at least a bit worthy, but yeah, since Norway is one of my favorite ESC nations i expected another great entry as i liked every entry they sent since 2003.....but they won't have my support this year.

 

[Dessi]

Ah, there were no great songs this year. This was the best one out of a collection of rather bland songs IMO.
So GOOD LUCK to Didrik!

 

[Bojan]

oh well... the worst out of the very good bunch

 

[Jukica]

I hope I'm not the only who like this song. Nice ballad from Norway this year, it was one of better songs in the final for me.

imo, Rybak was better.

I like it!
It got that musical-touch to it. And i love musicals!
And the best is that you can hear the norwegian folk music rythms in the background. It's like taking a silent tour with a boat down the norwegian fjords surrounded by high mighty mountains. Quite beautiful really. The best song imo.

 

[MrJadeEwen]

i LOVE the song. but he cannot sing it :roll: or the song needs to change key xD

 

[paddyirl]

It sounds awfully like You Raise Me Up.

Plagarism Just kidding.

You say youre just kidding but Ive just listened to it and the first things that came to my mind were You Raise Me up, Westlife etc.

Not usually a fan of this type of song but, for some reason I cant identify, I like it- just dont expect a second consecutive victory, Norway

 

[paddyirl]

Yeah I did think they sounded similar however you would have to be pretty stupid to copy such a major song, the EBU would know instantly, normally these cases involve more minor songs being copied.

Agree! We're not alone then

What's folk in this one?

 

[Dessi]

What's folk in this one?

I can't even begin to decribe it in english... to hard... it's a small but recognizable feature that you often find in a lot of northern European folk music (and Ireland). It's the way he glides in the end of every note in the refrain. And a special type of harmony of cords and arrangement of notes that is very special of northern folk music.
You can't hear it easily but it's there alright.

 

[Misi]

I think I know what you mean. It's typical for Christmas carols too.

 

[PashonFrut]

I like it very much! It's so Disney/fairytale-ish. I think the female audience will appreciate this song more. Not a bad choice from Norway

 

[ShineShineSHINE]

Eh...I had higher hopes for it when it started, but he's much better to look at than listen too. Better than average, but not good enough.

 

[Matt]

Slightly above average IMO. It's funny cause my first thought was "You raise me up" ripoff and then I saw that a lot of people felt the same way. I think the song is too big for the singer....6 points.
And considering that there were several good songs in the finals this year it's quite a bummer to see this one winning.
