[ESC United Mod Team]

Qualified for the final:

Umami Tsunami
Ulrikke
Alessandra

 

[Lopitas]

I was actually worried for Alessandra (because, Norway, you know ... ), so I am happy.

Qualified for the final:

Umami Tsunami

Oh sweet Jesus!

(I'm watching Belgium, so I had no idea.)

 

[Morty]

Ulrikke was pretty obvious, even if I didn't like her song. I didn't like Attention either tho, I actually left the arena when she sang as the winner in 2020. Umami Tsunami was my 4th place, so they're ok, but I'd rather see Rasmus or Byron/JOWST qualify instead. And of course happy to see Alessandra qualify, even if I lost my two other favorites.

Good to read that Alessandra made it
Going to watch her performance later tonight.

Ulrikke´s song is still horrible but I think she was 100% safe tonight (unfortunately).

Can I somehow have Kate in the final please? Wildcard? Second Chance Round? Surprise qualifier? ANYTHING!!!

 

[mauve]

Soooo .... what happened here while there was a trainwreck in Belgium? Everything's fine? Seems so .... Alessandra made it, the world is still spinning in Norway. I am not so sure if it is in Belgium. Can someone check?

Honestly, I refuse to believe that we will be facing 9 finalists in Norway at the end... That´s an odd number - I can totally see Norway pulling that "all-of-a-sudden-wildcard" to upgrade their final and let 10 contestants participate.

9 is just... so freaking odd.

That was not a serious comment on my part...

Yeah I figure they might have a wildcard as well.

Has anyone talked about the Italian chanting intro to Queen of Kings yet? Is that a nod to her heritage, being half-Italian? At least it kinda extended the song a little, although I feel like it could be incorporated better into the overall performance.

 

[Mrm]

Horrible results in Norway for me, as expected lol

I rank in the final for now:

1. Umami Tsunami — Geronimo 4/10
2. Alessandra Mele — Queen of Kings 2/10
3. Ulrikke — Honestly 0/10 - loool I know this is not fair, she got vocals tbh, but what can I do, she really gets on my nerves..

 

[Looren]

Soooooo thrilled Alessandra made it, she was so good !

Ulrikke is soooo good live too, and she has a beautiful staging

Unami Tsunami.... I knew they would Q... the song is awful, I only like the small guy's parts, the rest is awful

 

[ollibox]

My BIG favorite - Alessandra! Glad she made it!
Umami Tsunami goes past me. Too old for this, I guess
As much as I want to like Ulrikke's song - I just can't feel it. Sorry. I absolutely ADORE Attention, but this year... It's not the same, don't know why.

Same here!
She can sing (like holding and hitting the notes) but the tone of her voice.... "Attention" was part of my bottom 5 back in 2020... let's see if I have to include Norway in that category this year as well....

 

[Mainshow]

That was not a serious comment on my part...

You've been fangurling, of course.


But thinking about it, I can totally see Norway getting a wildcard to bring it to 10 finalists in the end (which also got backed up by @theditz83 ) xD

 

[Mainshow]

How can people praise Ulrikke's staging? It's basically the same for every third Norwegian entry at Eurovisio xD

 

[Sammy]

Unpopular opinion:
Honestly >>>>>>>>>> Attention

 

[lasse braun]

watched with delay semi 1.

Umami Tsunami – Geronimo 0/10
JOWST & Byron Williams Jr – Freaky for the Weekend 1,5/10
Alessandra – Queen of Kings 4/10
Rasmus Thall – Tresko 5,5/10 (norway has no heart for some weird tunes)
Kate Gulbrandsen – Tårer I Paradis 1/10
Eirik Næss – Wave 1/10
Ulrikke – Honestly 1/10 (much too eager!)

how high are the chances that geromino will win the whole thing?

 

[HarryUK]

Yesss Ulrikke! Talent prevails - now onto the final!

Umami Tsunami – Geronimo 0/10

Terrible song indeed. But hear my story.

Just as mauve was making herself a hot chocolate a few moments ago,she froze.
mauve (mumbling): My mind just tricked me.
*but then mauve hears the melody again: "G-E-R-O-N-I-M-O! "
mauve (completely terrified): Show yourself, Satan!
*and the melody starts again "G-E-R-O-N-I-M-O! "
mauve:
mauve: Satan, take my hot chocolate and disappear!
Satan took mauve's hot chocolate, but did not disappear.

The moral of the story: a bad song can haunt you!
