What IDIOT in Norway thought that the tempo change was a good idea? It ruins two totally amazing songs!!

At least my anger over this has put my anger that they didn't pick Laika in the shadow.

Yes, I'm the 10890423th person to complain about the unnecessary key-change, but if that's a trick to make the song stand-out, then so be it!

6 points for me. Half of the song I like, the other half I just don't rate!

While I do like Norway's entry this year, I think it's more likely to be outside the top 10 than inside it. Will probably be close one way or another though.

I don't mind the tempo / key change, just wish the transition would be a bit smoother. Apart from that, I like the song, especially the chorus. Really catchy.

This is a very good song for a Eurovision entry, and the tempo change makes it original and unique (I can't decide whether in a good way or a bad way, but I think good). Sad Norway didn't go with Suite 16 but nonetheless a solid entry from Norway and one of my favourites so far - 10 points!

This song have been brought up a lot this week at school. Not a single good this has been said about the song, except some being fan´s of the stuff she did a while ago.
The hate-train is real and I am joining that train, because that train is a lot more fun to be than on the ¨Trying as hard as I can to like it¨-train :lol:

I find the sudden change in the 'beat' (i dont know many musical terms) from the verse to the chorus kinda strange, however this song has really grown on me. It's gone from #14 in my rankings to #6.

Did not see this final live. Quite happy with the winner song, but her live performering on youtube was good, but not great. Laila was average live and Freddy was just ok/average.

Hopefully we can get top 10, but i,m 95% sure this is not the winner songs like some norwegian people think.

7 points live
10 points studio

This song litteraly carried me away.
The modulation of from a middle-tempo to an up-tempo is amazing, this gives me shivers through my body, that's really mindblowing!
She is able to perform on the stage like Polina (Elhaida... meeeeeh..) did in May 2015, and that's awesome!
Concerning her vocals, they're flawless.
I'd give it a :12: for now, despite the fact that I'm not seeing it on the top of the scoreboard in the forthcoming contest... THAT'S REALLY HURTING TO SAY THOSE THINGS, BUT.... I'd be not so disappointed if I didn't see Norway on the podium, but... meeeh. xcry xcry

It's hard to predict how Norway will do in May. I like the song but it seems that a lot of people don't. I tend to think it has the shoulders to be a winner but it'll be a "love it" or "hate it".

This is a love it or hate it song, and the reason is the tempo change, as that's what makes people either love it or hate it.
As voting on Eurovision is only positive, I think this can do very well in the final.
