Wait, Ulrikke is 24? She need to fire her stylist immediately!
Indeed Ulrikke appears to be older than she is... However, she is not a ugly girl! Ok! Ok! We Italians cannot speak! We beautiful or ugly women courting them allI thought she was a MILF of 47 with dyed hair and lots of makeup.

TV commentator for NRK, Olav Viksmo-Slettan is quitting after 10 years.
He was Ok, but dry, and still of the old 'Wogan cynical' -mode who really just liked black metal, and had to put up a poster of Dimmu Borgir on the wall of his commentator booth to 'keep contact with the real world' I believe he once said.
His replacement should IMO really be Eurovision -ultrafan and speaker Anders Tangen, or alternatively the witty Tarjei Strøm who also loves the contest.
I am of the same opinion as most of the users here. Really good voice, but the whole song is soulless and very mediocre. Can't believe that she's going to ESC. Norway has better choices. Sad. Disappointed.
I don’t know what the whole discussion is about. Ulrikke looks mid-20 to me and is mid-20.
My guess is there will be four fingers facing you, the index finger supported by a thumb, pulsating in an intense rhythm. A litany of barely audible words will be spoken, with 'vaffanculo' emphasized for good measure.... I am not sure how people would react if I went to the Italian thread like this:
"Really good voice, but the whole song is soulless and very mediocre. Can't believe that he is going to ESC. Italy has better choices."
I really have no idea how you think that I believe I am superior. What I wrote is MY opinion. You must be very offended to write that.Reading through all these posts you could actually get the impression this is one of the weaker songs this year. Yet it's doing extremely well in some of the polls I have seen so far. I find that quite interesting.
Not a fan of this attitude. It comes across as if your taste in music is superior. Different songs for different folks. To me, the Italian song isn't doing a lot this year. While I do appreciate the quality, I am not sure how people would react if I went to the Italian thread like this:
"Really good voice, but the whole song is soulless and very mediocre. Can't believe that he is going to ESC. Italy has better choices."
Surveys like studies leave the time they find. It's not what the public likes now, but what will like in May to make a difference. Now I ask you, Mauve loves the song of Italy and that of Belgium, because as an example, as if by magic, you had to talk about the song of Italy to make a comparison with the Norwegian song? A comparison where the Italian song, in your opinion, is not beautiful, will not appeal to the public and is saved only by the interpretation of Diodato. I want to understand ... if a song is sung well, if the singer with his singing manages to give emotions, the song works and is beautiful. Just technically speaking the Norwegian song is poor. Ulrikke's beautiful voice gives nothing to the song. One can only say "Yes, Urlikke has a beautiful voice". Now I'll give you some examples of audience preferences: on this forum the song by Diodato is the one that has received the most posts, on youtube the video has received more than 10 million views and more than 100,000 likes and more than 6000 comments. The comments of foreigners, you can go and read them, are full of beautiful words. After all this ... what are you talking about? From what beliefs? I can confidently tell you that Italy, I hope I am wrong, will not win this year either. We are not your opponents. The geopolitical power of Italy to the ESC is worth as much as a peanut and the RAI will not want to invest on the ESC (as happened in 1998 with the Jalisse candidates for the victory and Enrico Ruggeri, the deliberately poor songs sent to the ESC and the most beautiful ones left to home, and long absence from 1998 to 2010). You talk too often about our song, so much that you make me think you're afraid.Reading through all these posts you could actually get the impression this is one of the weaker songs this year.
