Norway NORWAY 2024 - Gåte - Ulveham

[ESC United Mod Team]

 

[Geborgenheit]

I enjoyed the entry. Beautiful.

Wow, I guess we have the fan flop of the season. I was shocked when I see the results. I mean bottom 5 in BOTH juries and televote. Very very interesting. I guess the song is really inaccessible and truly made for the ESC bubble (which I am glad I wasn't part of).

 

[LoveHate]

Finland was the only Nordic country to give Norway any points, and the only country overall to give Norway both jury and televote points.

You’re welcome!

 

[Kimrt]

Erika would have done better?

She wouldn't handle the pressure tbh

Thanks

I think we deserved better but it is what it is

 

[FitzyUK]

Surprised on the last place as the vocals were great on the song. It finished 15th on my list.

I totally expected a result like this after the 2022 outcome. The flop is quite similar. Though I personally enjoyed 2022 and hated 2024.

 

[Ajeje Brazorf]

Still so surprised this came dead last, tbh. I don't really understand why.

 

[Neo]

Well that didn't go as planned..

 

[Misterb]

Got what it deserved imo. Never liked it and that wailing is just annoying. Why would anyone like that? And the singer has no charisma at all.

 

[Verjamem]

They deserved much better.

Can't wait for their concert in Kraków in December!

 

[Franzilein]

The fact that there is basically zero hype around this entry despite having such an overwhelming positive resonance among ESC fans kinda certifies this as the fanwank of the season to me.

Welp, kinda happy my gut-feeling is still somewhat working... at least sometimes.

 

[I bims]

Was probably really just too out there like Fulenn was. It also barely qualified... First time ever that my winner came last (but I generally didn't enjoy this year so there's also that).

But at least Norway can defend its record of most last places...?

We can come there together then!

 

[Verjamem]

We can come there together then!

Agata (Rahei from Polish forum) and my significant other are interested too, I'm buying 2 tickets today

 

[MAD20]

One of the most unfair last placings in ESC final ever (probably together with 2018). I'm afraid Norway will go back to the usual English formula rather than going with folk in their native language... Thank you for the amazing performance, and for staying loyal to your roots this year, Norway!

 

[Verjamem]

@MAD20, at least they qualified, so this time gap between songs in Norwegian will be shorter than 18 years (2006 and 2024). I hope.

Because some people like intense folk entries sang entirely in a native language of the contestant like this one?

Fulenn was awfully performed live. The vocals sounded nothing like in the studio version, I loved the studio cut but Fulenn live was a hot mess in every way. OTOH I liked what I saw and heard yesterday and in the SF from the Norwegian band but I think Gunnhild's vocals were not her best, she gave it all but she crossed the line into flat-out screaming territory which is fine just for some people (like me haha but I love stuff like hardcore punk and sludge metal for instance), I think she sounded better in the Norwegian NF.

 

[Chalphon]

So gutted for Norway.
Gåte you were amazing! I loved Ulveham since the beginning.
And this thing that juries hate Norway has to finish, Blanca Paloma last year finished half table with a less accessible package

To be fair, juries didn't kill this song, it wasn't succesfull with the televote either and it barely qualified from the semi.

 

[Uto]

It was a great song, but just too alternative to stand a chance apparently. Surprising to me, but yeah happens. They can go home and be proud of what they did. Many people will fondly remember the song.
