Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

Excellent choices of tonight continued in Norway where Margaret Berger, the biggest favorite indeed won easily with her I feed you my love . Rather horrid Adelen came distant second followed by Sirkus Eliassen and Annsofi in superfinal.

The Norwegian MGP 2013 is coming to a conclusion tonight. After three semifinals we have nine songs plus one Wildcard was added (Lucky Lips) to mess things up a bit. My hopes are in no particular order: Gromth & Emil, Annsofi, Margaret Berger... and that's about it. I have a soft spot for Sirkus Eliassen but I don't necessarily want them for Malmö 2013.... I'll be back with results as soon as I'm done with UMK 2013 :-) Vidar Busk - Paid my way Gromth ft. Emil Solli-Tangen - Alone Datarock - The underground Annsofi - I'm with you Fjellfolk - Ulvetuva Margaret Berger - I feed you my love Adélen - Bombo Lucky Lips - Sweet and heavy Haute Ormåsen - Awake Sirkus Eliassen - I love you te quero

The second semifinal in Norway brought us three more finalists. As expected Annsofi went to the final with Alexander Rybak penned I'm with you . But only as third one, which means Norwegian are not so easily fooled by big name as the song is... well, how to put it? Not so extraordinary? Fjellfolk with Ulvetuva made it as well bringing some folk to the final line up. The surprise for this blogger is Margaret Berger with I feed you my love . Mind you I like it and its noisy arrangement I didn't quite believe it would get through. And win the semi! The Norwegians surely ate her love up and apparently a star was born tonight! It would be like fresh air in Malmö 2013 compared to these other two very traditional efforts. Martin Blomvik didn't make it with his dialect rap, that was rather enoyable in some weird way.
