NORWAY 2011 - Stella Mwangi - Haba Haba

Horrbile song, poor performance and hideous costumes. No wonder why it didn't qualify.

Too bad, but I do think the juries didn't like it and I guess African pop is risky. Her singing voice wasn't great, but neither was Hungary but I guess they thought the song itself was worth to put through.

It will be interesting to see which country will get a chance from the Swedish voting, I think we always give at least 3 points to Norway. ;P

I could hear the song last night. It's true that the sound dropped out some seconds but just that, some seconds. And it was due to technical problems from Germany, not from Spain.
To be honest, the song wasn't that good, and I'm very happy with the results of this semifinal^^ Good luck next time Norway.

Next year please send a Chinese immigrant who sings about how awesome the great Mao Zedong was.

Please don't compare the two vocally. There is no comparison.

I loved Stella yesterday and hoped she would qualify. Being third on my list I couldn't believe she didn't make it. Best of luck to Norway next year, they always send something great!

Well what I meant was that Hungary could have sung so much better given her voice, I think people realised that and put her through because of the potential. With Stella she wouldn't have improved.

mediocre song.... nothing more

Her vocals were really off and the backing vocalists couldn't compensate for that, really... The staging wasn't the best, either, as it kinda made the song forgettable...

Stella has just released her latest single "Lookie Lookie" (And I swear I'm not making this up)

^Creativity is running low I guess

I really liked the performance and the song was very happy/upbeat. I'm glad Norway sent it this year despite the return of a poor result.

 

[Milos-BC]

What to say.....I predicted a heavy failure for the entry, but then on the night it didn't look so bad. I even thought she may qualify, but just like I stated before, every time Norway sent something that is not considered as a traditional Norwegian entry, they failed. There is always next year, and I am looking forward to it

 

[Matt]

Her new song is nothing like Haba Haba though I must say

 

[Quent91]

Since the first second I knew it would be a totally different type of song than Haba Haba.

Based on what I've heard of her "singing", I think she'd be a great rapper.
