Norway NORWAY 2020 - Ulrikke - Attention

[escYOUnited]

 

[GlamSIMorous]

OH GOD I AM CRYING THAT WAS TOO MUCH FOR ME!

 

[Ana Raquel]

shocking and unexpected

 

[Zorjan]

I'm happy for her.. I'm sure it'll grow on me eventually

 

[EscGeek]

Phew.. that was close.. i alredy lost all hope and then Ulrikke won. Ost Norway, THANK YOU!

 

[Gera11]

To have Kristin so close to the victory then shatter my dreams, screw you Norway. "Attention" is nice too I guess.

 

[Loindici]

Yup, that's it.

Directly translated: As you have probably become aware of, we have not been able to receive televotes. Therefore a pre-selected people's jury will vote on the Gold-finalists.

This is quite the scandal.

ULRIKKKE WINSSSSSSSSSSS
KRISTIN IS CLOOOOOOOSSEEEE

but again, I do try the voting for the first time and it does crash. It's actually normal because it's the first time and the server load might be too much.

 

[shameless]

Wow what a cliffhanger. Kristin is now Norways Scott Fitzgerald?
Aww how happy Ulrikke is.

 

[Citelis]

Norway you have a great entry!

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

I knew it, I held out hope but mehhhh

 

[hijirio]

I think all Raylee fans anti-voted Ulrikke, and we were on the verge of a catastrophe of unaccidentally sending Kristin to Rotterdam. That could be the only explanation for what just was about to happen. *takes a deep deep sigh*

 

[Brandt]

Big disappointment losing Pray for me that close to winning. Probably (and hopefully) season's biggest disappointment will be this for me.

 

[Zorjan]

The whole show, with them playing Secret Garden constantly, just reminded me how amazing a song Nocturne is! Definitely one of my favorite eurovision winners!

 

[Malagant]

Congrats to the Norwegian winner, good luck in Rotterdam in May! It was not among my top 3 favourites but it’s nice (I would give it a 6 on the ESC-scale right now) and will hopefully make the final. Some years I am very happy with our entry (like last year with KEiiNO), other years less so. That is the way of things. Best of luck anyways, Ulrikke!

PS. ‘The Televote-scandal’ is on many people’s mind here now though, how it could happen. NRK simply say too many people tried to vote at the same time and the system broke down, but that is certainly something that should not be able to happen in our modern technological country. A huge embarrassment for NRK without doubt and it has surely influenced the final results (I think Ulrikke probably would have won anyway but there could have been other artists in the final 4 with televotes).

This actually makes sense. You're right.

 

[HayashiM]

She's really cute with all those emotional outbreaks It kinda contrasts with the superpolished song

 

[GlamSIMorous]

Oh god at those journalists rushing in 10 seconds after she finished her song

 

[hijirio]

This actually makes sense. You're right.

This is why superfinals are no good and should be effing eradicated from any national final on earth. It's always the same story. Thankfully the disaster was avoided this time.

 

[Kaz]

Sorry y’all but Attention is screaming Eurostan fan wank to me. It’ll likely do fine in Rotterdam but OMFG the hype it’s receiving? Bizarre.

I was like "Did they just say..? No, they can't! But... Nah... I guess it must be some sort of Norwegian joke, cause they obviously can't be serious... Or perhaps..?"
Shame on NRK!
But I guess Ulrikke would have won anyway
