NORWAY 2011 - Stella Mwangi - Haba Haba

[svetep]

35 songs and this still remains the best... It really may be Oslo 2012 : )

 

[Scooby]

^^^Come on!!!!
The girl who was surgery of singing, with lyrics ... "when I was little girl my grandma told me".... WTF.
She is funny, song is exotic, entertaining but the best?
This is far away from the best song! Didrik's "My heart is yours" was example of great song!
And there is no chance that Stella can win this year (sorry no offense)!

 

[nikolay_BG]

Actually I think Norway could win the thing. If not, Norway will be in top 5.

 

[Scooby]

Do you want to bet with me that Stella will stay in semi final or in bottom 10 in final?

 

[nikolay_BG]

I usually don`t bet
I am sure
I was sure that Didrik will flop (no matter how much I liked him) and I am sure now that this will be in top 5.

 

[Scooby]

I will call you in may

 

[Stargazer]

I gave it six points. It's not my thing but I'm sure it will get votes.

 

[Morty]

I'm pretty confident Stella will do better than Didrik. Whether you think it's a good song or not, it stands out a bit, while Didrik kinda didn't. But I haven't had time to listen to any of the other songs yet, so can't really say how I think we'll do this year.

 

[Hegepege]

To quote my sister-in-laws who are both sworn Didrik-fans: "but he is so good looking!" As if that ever got Europe to vote for anyone I don't like Haba Haba much myself, but it is annoyingly catchy. The song just sticked to my brain first time I heard it, just like another annoying song, "Fairytale". That's a quality we shouldn't underestimate.

At the moment we are heading for Norway 2012. I really think Haba Haba will be the runaway victor as it stands

 

[Milos-BC]

And I smell a flop, similar to Kristina's flop last year

And I smell a flop, similar to Kristina's flop last year

YES.. I GUESS SO, but that flop we will do very well together with Serbia. 3

 

[paulgr]

i think it is a big flop

it shrinks after you hear it 3 times

it was one of my favorites and now i like it less and less

will pass to the final but won't do well there...

I can't even imagine how people think this is gonna flop. It screams out successful placing to me. It's easy to remember once all the songs have finished, it's happy, charming and with a fun dance routine I can't see how this song can fail. It's exactly the sort of thing that seems to tear up the charts internationally (such as waka waka, hips don't lie, basically shakira haha). Even if this doesn't win, I will be surprised if this doesn't pick up alot of points, the only thing I can see holding this back is the juries just like with France last year, but even so it should be able to garner enough televotes to safely get this into the top 10.

ALSO, sorry I forgot to add that I had only listened to this song on my rubbish laptop speakers, the other day I played it on my much better speakers with bass and discovered an incredible bassline that wasn't picked up on my laptop! It's so much more dynamic when played on louder speakers! Was a really nice surprise, especially in the verses, really lifted the song and that's another reason I can imagine this doing well, big bassy numbers really get the crowds going (im thinking everyway that I can, Wild dances here) which transfers well on screen! *rant/haba haba lovefest over i promise haha*

 

[CypriotGirl]

I gave it 7 points! Although I believe it's a bit silly, it has something special, and exotic, and can do very well!

After "Waka waka" of Shakira being a very popular song last year, it's modern and can even win!

Plus, it's extremely catchy! It's one of the only songs this year that I remembered its chorus after the first listening!

 

[Quent91]

It will do extremly well thanks to the viewers, but I don't think the juries will help it a lot...

What a lovely post. I thought I cant find someone that dont like this song. For me its definitively song for Junior Eurovision Song Contest. One of the worst songs of this year

 

[r3gg13]

I don't think it will flop, but I don't think it will do as well as I want it to. The song is pretty catchy, stands out well, has a great beat. I couldn't ask for more in a ethno-dance song. It could pass to the final, but the highest it might go to is probably 7-10 place. That's only my prediction

 

[LakZaNokte]

sorry but this reminded me of this song after 20 sec...
