Re: NORWAY 2019
This is a pretty fun selection, but this is another FdC situation. "Spirit in the Sky" is a full mile ahead of the rest imo: Modern, experimental, enjoyable, catcy. Cannot wait to loop this for hours on end. Classic Eurovision Winner material if they're good live.
ftr, this is my current order after having listened to each song once:
keiino > d'sound > hank > chris > carina > ingrid > anna-lisa > mørland > adrian > erlend
pretty good (Erlend is the only one I don't like), if a tad generic. D'sound are pure UNFILTERED Eesti Laul madness though

KEiiNO is fantastic. The tribal quality really elevates it. Easy choice there! Mørland is also quality but something feels lacking.

Re: NORWAY 2019
After all, this is a huge step forward considering the later years...
I'm already curious how Keiino will stage their entry... I'll probably listen to it for some days before coming with a "suggestion" myself that they won't listen to anyway

KEiino + LEDs + the (gorgeous) Tel Aviv stage = see you in Norway next year.

Re: NORWAY 2019
sure knows how to write a hard rock song! 
As i said earlier, i always have at least one hot favorite and "Fake it" is exactly what i'm looking for.
my 2nd and 3rd choice:
D'Sound - "Mr.Unicorn"
Keeino - "Spirit in the Sky"

Re: NORWAY 2019
Listening the songs of Norway by the first time on Spotify:
1.- Mørland – En livredd mann
Love the Norwegian language here, sounds good and epic! Liked so much "A monster like me" back on 2015.
2.- Hank Von Hell – Fake it
Summer rock song. Sounds like playing an American video game at home and partying alone! Love it!
3.- KEiiNO – Spirit in the sky
I think this song will make a bigger impact live, love the ethnic thing going on! Keep an eye!
4.- Ingrid Berg Mehus – Feel
Like the song, classical Norwegian 90s Celtic ballad with a violinist. Not a fan at all of the chorus.
5.- Anna-Lisa Kumoji – Holla
Nice attempt, but I think that's all.
6.- Chris Medina – We try
Generic pop song!
7.- D’Sound – Mr. Unicorn
Nice song! Nothing impressive!
8.- Adrian Jørgensen – The bubble
Beautiful but boring as hell, nothing special at this point.
9.- Erlend Bratland – Sing for you
Sounds familiar, maybe Robbie Williams' "Feel"? Distracting in a bad way. For me is a no.
10.- Carina Dahl – Hold me down
Generic song with a plastic singer. For me is a no. Lack of originality.
They have to send a Norwegian act itself or a party rock anthem!

Re: NORWAY 2019
My thoughts exactly! Already in love with Keiino's entry. And there is something about Mørland's entry that I love; the mood, the feelings, the great lyrics - and Mørlands voice is perfect for this song. BUT I agree that something is lacking; a stronger chorus!

Re: NORWAY 2019
Morland's song is all over the place lmao. It has elements that I find interesting, but doesn't tie them together. It tries to be too many things at once.
Maybe the live will improve it, but until then I'm not very excited by it.

Re: NORWAY 2019
I listened to all of them and i have to say that KEiiNO is a masterpiece x12s and if they send it it will be one my favourites but i also like Mørland too. The rest are good too and i have to say that Norway is going to be strong this year!

Re: NORWAY 2019
I won't listen to any NF songs/official ESC entries until the CD gets released but I am really happy to see Morland and Carina Dahl coming back. I absolutely loved her song "Sleepwalking".
People who have listened to their track, why don't you rate it higher than 6/10, for example? - What is the song lacking? Is it in the same style like "Sleepwalking"?
