Nothing can overtop our entry last year... A Monster Like Me was so beautiful...
Ohmygod "Laika", please! I love it! It's special. It would certainly spice up Eurovision this year. I've been disappointed by both the Danish and Norwegian Melodi Grand Prix this year and they were/are just filled with painfully uninteresting mediocre songs compared to the usually enjoyable entries they always have, so as there's nothing to otherwise be really excited about, I want Norway to choose this as it's a quirky but intelligent gem in the midst of everything and has a charm to it. Such Soviet disco! Gosh I love retro music. "Laika" would keep the party going and I almost need to see it at Eurovision. Probably won't happen though
"Afterglow" is good too, but "Laika" is just too special in the best way to pass up. Please!!
Last year, Itunes gave very good hints in our Contest, especially in AC and the televoting top 3 in Friends, I guess it can be because MF is a bit more popular in than MGP is in or UMK is in (I don´t mean anything bad with that) or that Itunes is a very popular streaming store here in and that´s why the results in our final is very near the Itunes listWhile I think iTunes can provide some useful hints as to popularity, it's important to note that it seems biased towards upbeat songs and established artists, and ignores live performances. Out of all 18 songs in this year's UMK, Paa-Aijat were sitting in a comfortable first place on both iTunes and Spotify, yet they were just eliminated in their first semi yesterday.

But that just pure speculation from me, I can be totally wrong
VG did a story on how Freddy Kalas is the favorite and posted the streaming numbers from Spotify (as of Friday)

Since then have Feel Da Rush gotten 2.273.514 and it is a huge hit, so I would be really shocked if he does not win.
So you're saying Freddy Kalas is the favorite?
