Norway NORWAY 2019 - KEiiNO - Spirit in the Sky

[Gera11]

Don't think this is going do well at all Eurovision, despite it's assured fanwank status.

7 points because I still enjoy the studio version.

If this is a fanwank, then what's Iceland?

Has a lot more haters than this. Spirit In The Sky is almost universally loved.

 

[VikingTiger]

Final? Maybe. Left-hand side? Doubt it. Juries will eat this for breakfast.

As I said; surely not a jury favourite. But not a bottom candidate for the juries either... I think. That is if Keiino gets the vocals right! If not I agree with you fully.

THE GOOD:
-This song's got some groove to it! I like.
-I also like and appreciate the incorporation of the Sami language.
-It's quite memorable.

THE BAD:
-I would've changed one lyric to make it perfect for me and my grammatically-correct self. That's it, really.

THE VERDICT:
Well, well, well. Look what we got here from Norway! A headbopper that also has some native language thrown in for good measure? To me, that makes for a great and unique song. Also for me, this is not even a dark horse, but perhaps a frontrunner for the win. 10 points

A masterpiece of trolling art

But seriously, how did Adrian Jorgensen loose to this Eurovision checkbox? It felt for me a heartfelt song lost to a checklist of Eurovision cliché's. Eurotrash dance beats (check), weird diverse singing trio (check), random background dancers (check), memable 'huehue' guy for memorability (check). I don't dislike the song, it's just soooo mediocre.

SO GLAD THEY WON. i was surprised the staging didn't go full ethnic but i guess they have to hold it in for NFs as to not scare international juries away. i expect them to ham it up for ALL the televote points in eurovision though. full rasmussen realness up in this bitch.

needless to say 12 points~

(also i can't believe keiino is being called mediocre in comparison to adrian "soulless ed sheeran clone" jorgensen. there really are opinions for everything i guess.)

 

[Geborgenheit]

Forgettable.

 

[GRE]

The staging is so wrong.

 

[opinionsigotem]

D-Sound and Anna Lisa making the goldfinal was a delight oh and KEiiNO are fun and fun is what this contest needed so

also just a general comment this isn't aimed at anyone in particular so don't go off but: "fanwank" should be banned like, wow a lot people like a song that you don't like and this upsets you for some reason but you're too lazy to articulate why just fuck off lol

 

[Realest]

Are people calling this really a Nonqualifier?

 

[Volkisistan]

Cheap, boring, beloved by everyone...

Sorry, but this is absolutely not for me. They're gonna meke the final for sure, but I do pray they won't be in for the win. This is the typical Eurovision sound at its worst. This is "love, love, peace, peace" taken seriously! Just horrible!

 

[ZoboCamel]

This is "love, love, peace, peace" taken seriously!

This but as a compliment.

Hum yes. The entry that is universally beloved will not do well. Flawless logic.

Not saying that KEiiNO will win (if all the OTT novelty entries cancel each other out, something safe WILL win, but it's probably just Sweden again lol.), but your argument doesn't make a lot if sense.

KEiiNO isn't like Verona which was dated, cliche and poorly staged (ftr I loved Verona for all those reasons ). If anything, they're like Only Teardrops. A nice catchy song that just *feels* right in Eurovision and out of place anywhere else.

 

[Geborgenheit]

Hum yes. The entry that is universally beloved will not do well.

I doubt that it is universally loved, especially not among fans, I do not see televoters voting for this en masse in Tel Aviv.

Depends on how appealing they can make it with staging, but they're well underway (although they aren't utilizing Fred properly). Give it time. It will come together in Tel Aviv.

 

[Franzilein]

Oh yes, mange takk Norge. My first 12 points this season and a mile ahead of any other entry. Much love!

 

[mauve]

Needless to say that this entry gets my 12 pts. I am not so satisfied with the staging (as many others), but I hope they work on it. I even can't say if this will attract many voters in May, but compared to many other songs this still stands out, I believe. I like the catchy Rhythm and hum this tune a lot. An earworm. Thank you, Norway!
