Norway NORWAY 2021 - TIX - Fallen Angel

[escYOUnited]

​

What can I say?
I can't make her stay
When I know that she's so far above
How could she ever love someone like me
She's out of reach

Here in the dark inside the hole in my heart
I'm fighting all of my demons tryna tear me apart
And I'm still not sure what you ever saw in me

No, I'm a, I'm a fallen angel
And no matter where my heart is
There's no way I'll ever
Reach up to heaven
To you

She's so far out of this world
No way I could ever be with her
'Cause I know heaven's your home
That's where angels belong
And it wouldn't be fair
If I keep you down here

Here in the dark inside the hole in my heart
I'm fighting all of my demons tryna tear me apart
And I'm still not sure what you ever saw in me

No, I'm a, I'm a fallen angel
Tryna fly, but I'm not able
And I need you to know
That it's okay to let me go
'Cause no matter where my heart is
There's no way I'll ever
Reach up to heaven
To you

I'm a, I'm a fallen angel
Yeah I'm a, I'm a fallen angel
And I'm still not sure
What you ever saw in me

No, I'm a, I'm a fallen angel
Tryna fly, but I'm not able, so
Just let me go (I'm a, I'm a fallen angel)
'Cause no matter where my heart is
There's no way I'll ever
Reach up to heaven
To you​

Super TIX will make CHAOS in Rotterdam!
MARK MY WORDS, folks!
He will trash everything in front of him, like a hurricane, like a volcano, like an earthquake!
Be ready for the storm in May, Super TIX is coming after you...

I am still salty because of Norway snubbing Raylee. 'Hero' is so catchy and stylish. I love singing it out loud too and I've done so 5 minutes ago again, lol. It would be iconic in Rotterdam. While this is merely a boysband ballad with angel wings gimmick that has been done to death at the Eurovision. I should stop being invested in national preselections, as nearly always at least one entry that I adore loses to something that I find mediocre. From my possible top 3 to my bottom 5 with lame & kitsch 'Fallen Angel'.

Maybe Norwegians were not yet ready for such a throwback female bop ... or TIX & Keiino being more popular as artists before the contest in Norway factored in massively. I get that impression that certain, mostly female teen fans of TIX would have voted for him even if the song was much weaker (it still it is to my ears) but it's effectively held up by campy staging. They are just obsessed about him according to various relations.

Raylee is not very popular here in Norway. Her song was ok. Her stanging great. Her vocals as always rather nasal and not of the best sort. In my opinion she was never a contender for the win - knowing (or at least I think so) a bit of the norwegian taste and ways of voting in the MGP).
But you are right - the young crowd would probably have voted for TIX whatever he would send. But I think that with Fallen Angel he also others to vote for him.

 

[Preuss]

I mean, TIX isn't a teenage heartthrob here or anything if that's what people here believe lol. He's just really popular because he's made some (russe)music (that I don't care for though) and been participating in reality shows. If he'd sent a song of his usual discography, he'd absolutely landslide the voting, that's for sure

I'd say if he'd tone down the staging and didn't wear that outfit, we could've actually pulled off something similar a'la Germany 2018

@Mrm wow wow

That was quite interesting actually. Basically because of him we now have to deal with Ava Max being played every damn 10 minutes on the radio? (seriously though, it's as if she owns Croatian radio stations herself!)
When it comes to his song for the contest it's... still bottom 10 for me, sozz. Norway had such a terrific run from 08-15, they were by far my favorite of the Nordic countries, but ever since Icebreaker (and that included), all of their entries were at least a bit awful. I think this one is my least favorite because it sounds like it was made by an esc_Norway.exe song generator.
I'm not familiar with his work, but every song I've heard in the Story behind video sounded waaay more interesting than Fallen Angel, so yeah, "What could have been", etc.

 

[Jopi]

I overplayed Ava Max's discography today actually (even though I knew all her songs bc of radio as mentioned by @Phoenix), basically because of the free advertisement by Tix lol
And it kinda should've been the other way around

I can't stand Ava Max, her songs are like the epitome of generic. As soulless as Zara Larsson etc. for me.

Oh dear Iker, we do have quite a different music taste Although, I can listen to pretty much everything, from metal to opera

I actually like TIX. Let's say it like this - I had other faves in the NF (Keiino, Raylee, Emmy). And to be honest, I like the Norwegian version of "Fallen angel" much much more. But "Fallen angel" is an 8 for me. But you know, hell and heaven sometimes lie close to each other. Or as to put it with my beloved Trash Metal band Slayer's album title: "South of heaven".

 

[moop]

Oh no.......

 

[LordNafaryus1]

Tix has been my personal number one ever since he won MGP and still is now. I think he’ll easily qualify for the grand final and will hopefully reach the left hand side of the scoreboard

 

[MalagaToledo]

Ohh no. norway is between Croatia and Cyprus. a bad song by itself will look especially terribly bad disaster between 2 good songs like el diablo y tick tock.

We will always remember you norway with a nostalgia especially after semi 1.

 

[Jopi]

 

[Elina UA]

Ohh no. norway
will always remember you norway with a nostalgia

MagalaToledo, i'm happy you're here again, our sugarcoat thread has it's cherry back!
