Norway NORWAY 2014 - Carl Espen - Silent Storm

[kengaIME]

I like the fact the stage is elevated to get clearer camera shots not ruined by flags.
Being in the arena i think it might seem weird that the nearest audience is so far away from the stage...

The way the lights come up near the end and go quiet again, lovely!

Your Country make it always in the Finals. Dont worry. You have Denmark,Sweden,Finland and a lot a Money for support. Why worry?

Its a Political Game with lot a Money under the Table. Music its not important.x12s

Norway failed in 2011 and 2007 Plus a marvellous 26th place in 2012.
Plus, Norway is one of the countries that sends the best songs

I would like to know too, but guess he/she never tells.

I have a suspicion they're from an unlucky non-big 5 country

I'm thinking Turkey, he/she seems to share the anti-big 5 mentality that their broadcaster has

It has been very quiet around Carl Espen here in Norway (at least I think so). But according to a newspaper in Bergen (Carl Espens hometown) Silent Storm was the 5th most played song on norwegian radio last week. And the most played norwegian song.
Good - we need some more fuzz about Eurovision here in Norway 2014

He posted on his Facebook yesterday that he's now the 3rd most played song on Norwegian radio

Awww, such a shame, maybe he'll win them over with a great result on May 10th

He will. I have big faith in this song and in Carl

Someone made a comparison somewhere between this and Undo, calling them both "two Nordic sad ballads", but there's a massive difference that will shine through on the night of the final and I hope the voters see it, that is, that Carl Espen is singing about a deeply personal story written by someone who saw him go through the struggles he's singing about. Sanna is just singing a song Fredrik Kempe wrote.

Well said. IF Carl Espen can control his nerves and deliver like he did AFTER he had won the NF, I am expecting a real good placing.

I have faith in him...I think he will deliver

I do too. Norway doing the concert in Amsterdam in not often. I guess carl Espen was sent there to get stage experience. And London as well. I am going for a stand-out performance. And not in a Stella Mwangi kind of way; I swear I could hear crows on my roof reacting positively when Stella started to "sing"...

Me three

Nobody has posted in this thread in a long time, they hype is dying down

We had a live listening of the songs over in NSC the other night and about 20 members ranked the songs. Norway won
