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​

"Set the world on fire" is nothing interesting at all. Very basic and boring.

 

[Edweis]

Pages is the only one I care about in heat 4, it's isn't the most original but it's so soothing it gets me in other places in a dream-like fashion.

 

[crashworld]

"Monument" is gaining traction for me, especially after that music video. They just need to fix the staging aspect. The last part of the song could have been moment in the competition. If there are no better songs in the last heat, I can see this winning the NF.

How interestingly "Pages" got a similarly looking music video. The song is alright but it just lacks a wow moment. I hope the 'live' performance of the song will elevate it for me. But not gonna lie, I am more interested in seeing how the staging for "Circus" is.

"World on Fire" is just alright? It reminds me of the early 2010s songs you hear on the radio. Nothing out of ordinary. Doesn't scream a winner for me unless the staging can elevate the song.

 

[Loindici]

World on Fire is ordinary. As a song I don't find it appealing and the chorus did not stick to your head. I suppose the strongest point of it is the charm of the singer.

 

[empo21]

The sigh of relief watching the Monument video and seeing it has budget and no furries.

Both the MV for Monument and Pages are so beautiful (Norway is so beautiful), although I kinda like Pages MV more.

World on Fire sounded interesting for the first 20 sec and then exposed itself as a very generic entry and my generic MGP faves are better than this one me thinks.

 

[marty]

I guess Norway will choose Monument. But in Rotterdam they will not be as successful as last time.

I guess Norway will choose Monument. But in Rotterdam they will not be as successful as last time.

We should be so lucky. KEiiNO, just like Rybak in 2018, need a reality check that their "music" is not as good as they think it is, and the fact that they "won the televoting" in 2019 means nothing. I hope they don't win the NF, but if they do, they need to flop, to compensate for their overration of 2 years ago.

Marianne Pentha & Mikkel Gaup interview

 

[Neo]

I don't know about the video, but Alexandra's voice is just so sexy, and I notice how she's really grown as a person and artist to where she can carry the whole thing, both video and stage.

Monument has some absolutely lovely parts, but is slightly disjointed with some odd ones so not an ESC winner I would think, but top 10 seems possible, unless Europe is all 'joiked out'.

It's all a bit generic and the cameltoe was unfortunate, but the song is growing on me. Mikkel actually was a child film star: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BBn-7H2kEk

 

[AlekS]

Melodi Grand Prix. Semi-final #4.

[NikolaiMoller]

Marianne Pentha & Mikkel Gaup - "Pages" was ok i guess

 

[NikolaiMoller]

Landeveiens Helter - "Alt Der Der"

toxic and cheesy at the same time ...... i'm out

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

THANK GOD!

 

[NikolaiMoller]

the right winner of first duel

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

I mean...props for the visuals, but this song is still eh

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

Atle's staging is like a mix of Dance You Off and I Can't Go On

 

[Pål Nordahl]

"On Fire" had some... questionable vocals.

 

[HayashiM]

You seriously tell me On Fire got a place in the finals at the expense of Hero or Faith Bloody Faith?

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

I still don't get these?
