Norway 2021: TIX - Fallen Angel

[COB]

Beady Belle or Big Daddy Karsten please!

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

All things considered, I thought this edition had enough good songs to warrant maybe warrant a Moopyfestivalen treatment. I'd be up for hosting it and getting justice for Beady Belle and Royane (I've resigned myself to their imminent early exits. ).

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Though maybe not all 5 heats is the way to go. Just fit all the semi-finalists into two semi-finals or something?

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

7 minutes in and this has more padding than Dancing On Ice.

This is 2 hours 50 minutes long.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

If I had to guess, I think it would be between Jorn (most well-known act), Stina, Big Daddy Carsten and River tonight.

Running order will be important too.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Beady Belle coming on!

Why the small screen? What is that? I don't get it

I assume it's to show off the bubble app votes more but honestly, the small icon in the corner was just fine (and more clear).

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

bubbles for Stina even before she's performed.

Jorn

Jorn

Oh dear god, not him!

 

[Iguana]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I tell you what, I’m not the greatest fan of these 80s hair metal entries, but so many of OUR FAVES could learn a thing or two from their sense of melody. They might be a bit of a RACKET, but underneath the sound of RAGE and the DEPTHS OF HELL there’s basically a schlager entry, more often than not.

 

[ButterTart]

Woot! If I couldn't have Vi ar Norge, I'm more than happy to get Faith Bloody Faith

 

[Pingu]

I’d rather Big Daddy had got the ticket but it’s a bit of variety in the final I guess.

 

[dUb]

Raylee SHAFTED?

 

[Suomi]

Weirdly, the Norwegian finals never seem to follow the usual patterns of Eurovision/Melfest , in that being placed 2nd doesn’t mean it’s chanceless

 

[Alla]

For god's sake, 2nd for Raylee!?

Remember when you wouldn't talk to me for a day because I said Monument was less than the sum of its parts

 

[Suomi]

Remember when you wouldn't talk to me for a day because I said Monument was less than the sum of its parts

and what is your opinion now

 

[Pingu]

2nd isn’t the end of the world as she only needs to finish 4th to get through to the head-to-heads.

 

[Penelope]

and what is your opinion now

The same. Ask me again in six months tho

 

[VoR]

Nothing about Raylee’s pre-contest stats suggest she’s likely to win.

 

[Suomi]

Since 2015, only once has a song placed first or second not made the superfinal

these stats all suggest that Raylee is likely to win

 

[Lucille]

So there’s a final THEN a SUPERFINAL?!?

 

[Suomi]

So there’s a final THEN a SUPERFINAL?!?

yes, four go through and then they battle in duels to have a final two. And then you get the Gold-final between those two.

 

[Lucille]

Omg it’s RELENTLESS! Do they all have to perform again?

 

[Iguana]

So there’s a final THEN a SUPERFINAL?!?

Then they make all the solo artists into a supergroup and have a flower arranging competition to decide who goes through to the Ultimate Final

 

[Alla]

Omg it’s RELENTLESS! Do they all have to perform again?

I think they have to sing again, yes. They used to do these duels in the MF Andra Chansen back in the day, performing twice.

 

[Soldi]

She opened the show last year and they still gave KEiiNO a pimp slot. It’s not like they put TIX last or anything and SHAFTED all the other favourites. As the only Kaja fan in the world I’m also very happy with her draw

 

[Soldi]

Omg it’s RELENTLESS! Do they all have to perform again?

I recall last year the top four didn’t perform again but the two that went through to the ‘Gold Duel’ did.

 

[RJN]

Omg it’s RELENTLESS! Do they all have to perform again?

There is no end to Eurovision national finals. Just when you think you understand it, there are 5 more rounds

 

[Suomi]

Somebody has suggested that Raylee is drawn early to allow her PERM to dry ahead of her performance in the final and I

 

[Iguana]

 

[COB]

omg

 

[Jacques]

I think the running order shows who the producers favour, but in a 12 song contest it really doesn't matter. The Mamas performed 3rd in the Melfest final last year so if Raylee is destined to win, she still will. But really I think making the final 4 is victory for her.

 

[Alla]

if Raylee is destined to win, she still will.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I do love Keiino, but they will never outperform 2019. Kaylee has, in my opinion, a better chance of getting a good placing in Rotherham. Also Rotterdam.

Surprised I'm in the minority on Moopy.

 

[Alla]

Surprised I'm in the minority on Moopy.

Raylee getting less than 30% of the Moopy votes is unbelievable, I don't know this place anymore.

 

[Pingu]

Nothing about Raylee’s pre-contest stats suggest she’s likely to win.

What are you looking at other than Spotify?
