Song 1: Raylee - "Wild"
Very much an attempt to recreate "Fuego" from 2018,but I think it's not as good as "Fuego". I don't think the lead singer's voice is strong enough. The best bits are the dance routines and the flame effects.

 

[hijirio]

I can't believe my main two favourites are placed one after another. NRK is sabotaging tasteful music or sth?

 

[GlamSIMorous]

I want people to stop comparing uptempo banger songs to Fuego OMG! Raylee smashed it and she wont win but she can be utterly proud of herself. I find her extremely likeable on stage and I cant put my finger on why. But I loved it, she did well!

 

[hijirio]

Out of air is my most played song of this season. Could be my overall nr 1 of the season. But i don't wanna hold unrealistic dreams. Btw thanks for getting rid of child dancers, it was cringy.

Disclaimer: Didrik is the cutest guy my eyes have ever witnessed. Is he even real?

Song 2: Didrik & Emil - "Out of Air"
Didrik and Emily have good vocals, and good harmony on the choruses. Quite a good power ballad; I'm swayed more to this than song 1, but I don't think this will win.

Great, I apparently missed Wild which was my favourite song from the whole selection. How was her performance? I’ll never eat lunch before a selection ever again, I completely forgot it was on

You can go back in time on the nrk.no/mgp and watch it yourself

Oh to dance around in the seaside town pub Magnus is singing at

Song 3: Magnus Bokn - "Over the Sea"
Another nice ballad, it seems to have a Celtic / Irish folk twist to it what with the violin sound and the dancing, but again, I don't think this is a winner.

 

[hijirio]

The weakest attempt ever by Rybak. It's just not working.

 

[theCONWEL]

Come on Akuvi

 

[hijirio]

1. Didrik&Emil
2. Raylee
3. Magnus

 

[hijirio]

Akuvi was so bad in the semifinal, hope she will get the vocals right this time.

 

[hijirio]

I prefer this over most of the songs today, but still the tempo of the performance doesn't live up to the studio version.

 

[hijirio]

Also I doubt that a song with 'shit' in the chorus will have a big change in a family show

 

[DaFlo]

Akuvi is another case of try again with sth stronger please

Still the best in this lineup for me

 

[theCONWEL]

Slaaaaaay Som du er is such a bop

 

[NemesisNick]

Song 4: Akuvi - "Som du er"
The first song of the night in Norwegian. Whilst it's great to hear a native language song in the ESC, there's no guarantee this will stay in Norwegian if it wins tonight. This features drums and dancing just like "Fuego" in 2018,but I think it's a poor attempt at it; I hope this doesn't win.

 

[Edweis]

I need more powerful vocals to fully appreciate Som du er, as it is the live version just sit there, which is a shame because I would love to see such an uptempo sung in Norwegian in ESC.

 

[hijirio]

She's beautiful but the song is the weakest of the night for me.
