After last years Kaarja/Loreen duel there was discussions about the juries and the members of the juries. Several people pointed out that the juries are usually heavily pop-oriented. I think there is a general agreement about that. I wonder if we will see a change in the juries this year. Even...
I think you do have a point. I think both many jury member and televoters may dislike Nemo's gender/person. Conchita was in my book a different story. With the beard Conchita may have seemed more "playful" or more "drag".
If the presentation on stage is too androgynous and the focus is on...
I like the dreamy atmosphere that's partly created by the instrumentations. But there is nothing here that makes this stand out. And when Fahree isnt able to lift the song vocally in the studio version I doubt he will be able to do so on stage.
I fear this might be another NQ for Azerbaijan. I...
Good to see Iceland joing in Malmø. I suspect some of this polemic has been created by the press. It was the same tendency in Norway after MGP. The press speculated that Gåte might not want to go to Malmø... but I really dont think there was every a real chance that Norway would withdraw. Even...
Yeah, it a mess. But there are parts here that I really enjoy. The total package is worth a 7. And I am convinced that Nutsa will deliver on stage! I wont go into the lyrics though... :rolleyes:
But will Nutsa qualify? For that she will need to rely not only on the song itself, but on a hot...
I am kind of hoping that the juries this year will be a bit more diverse. After the Loreen/Kaarija discussions last year there were many voices advocating for less pop-influenced jury memembers. If Sweden ends up top 3 in the juries (or even top 5) in 2024 as well I will finally loose faith... I...
There is nothing new to this ballad. But I have to admit I quite like this. Eventhough I could to without the falsetto. And it's far from the best ballad this year. I guess a 6 is fine, the girl can obviously sing!
I am still not convinced that Eden will be in Malmø in May. She and the israeli...
I dont know what's happening to me. I used to like these slow songs with a very portuguese flavour. Than ended with Saudade Saudade - an entry that i strongly disliked but that did really well in the competition. And now Grito - I find the staging really good, and Iolandas vocals are great. But...
Well, at least the difference in points recieved from the juries and the televoters was huge; 247 vs 58 points. The difference in ranking not so much. And again; I think Mon Amour will come across as much less old-fasioned.
I am actually quite surprised to read the comments here. I was expecting more positivity over all. I absolutely love Slimane, and this song is no exception.
Yes, it's a surprise that the artist and the song has already been released. But the generel public in May do not have a big (or any)...
I just woke and learnt that Slimane is going to Malmø! I am on my fifth listening right now. France is one of my definite favourites in the Eurovision, la Zarra was my last year winner. And I am also a big fan of Slimane. I have kept an eye on him for some years now. I have many times had a...
I really dont mind having new artists competing in the MGP. I actually think that is one of the goals of NRK; to promote new artists. And even though many of the singers come from talent shows (some many years ago, some more recent) I dont see the problem. Many of the song writers are very...
