Opening isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Kate is so underrated

Based on that Ulrikke seems to be the Subwolfer or TIX of this year.

Also could there be a shock JOWST flop coming?

I am sure people are dying to see this, so ... tata!

On it... Streaming "Queen of Kings" in the background for the rest of the day, please don't have a rubbish performance sis, we need you to be fabulous!!!!

Based on the stream counts just now, Ulrikke is 3 times more popular than Alessandra, who is twice as popular as Umami Tsunami. And they are slightly higher than the rest of the pack who are all fairly close to each other.

 

[Luneaux]

The first semifinal seems interesting! My favorites are Umami Tsunami, Eirik and Ulrikke.

 

[HarryUK]

Ulrikke's 'Honestly' is already at number 3 on my Spotify 'on repeat' playlist... that's IMPACT
I love that song so much

Several songs in MGP I believe will make top 10 in ESC final (or even better) but you all know the Norwegian voting is backward (Tix over Keino f.i.), mostly according to what they've been goaded to by MGP and the establishment press, but luckily this time that seems to be Tiril - Break It, so won't be a disaster like last time. But who knows. The radio constantly plays 80s stuff and people are stuck in the past.

My rankings from NMGP Semifinal 1

1. Ulrikke - Honestly
2. Alessandra Mele - Queen of Kings
3. Kate Gulbrandsen - Tårer i paradis
4. Rasmus Thall - Tresko
5. Eirik Næss - Wave
6. Byron Williams Jr. & Jowst - Freaky for the Weekend
7. Umami Tsunami - Geronimo

3rd-5th could change based on the live performances.

I think Ulrikke, Alessandra and Rasmus Thall will be the three qualifiers.

 

[MooseShoes]

I don't care what anyone else says, Tårer i paradis >>>>>> Honestly.

My ranking:

1. Tårer i paradis
2. Tresko
3/4. Honestly / Queen of Kings (Both are serviceable enough but not my cup of tea.)
5. Mum, when I grow up I want to be Victor Crone
6. JOWST (Didn't mind this on first listen, then I heard the lyrics.)
7. Geronimo

[theditz83]

Both working thanks guys i like two in case one goes off

The Light show is iconic, her vocals are good, just not sure about Alessandras stage presence. I still like it a lot more on stage than I did in studio (and I already liked it).
