Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

Norway's Melodi Grand Prix 2023 came to and end Saturday night and the streaming queen and fan favorite indeed won with her Queen of kings. I may have been a bit harsh in my review but that's what reviews are for. I'm still not a big fan of the song but Alessandra's bubbly personality that came across so well during the voting and especially after winning won me over a bit. Then again, autotune was allowed in Norway and she still didn't sound so well live, so what about Liverpool? We'll see, or rather hear. Prepare yourself! And I'm not going to say anything about her winning repeat performance ..... I haven't seen such chaos for years. Nice touch though she sung some verses in Italian like a good Italian girl! Ulrikke didn't get her chance to do finally Eurovision and another streaming success Jone failed badly, as did Atle Pettersen, mainly in televotes that all went to Alessandra. 1. Alessandra - Queen of kings (jury 104 + televote 129) 233 2. Ulr...

Norway has had its three semi-finals, created two streaming magnets, lost a couple of fan favorites (mainly for poor live performances despite auto tune allowed) and here we are with the nine finalists.In the final there will be 50/50 international jury/televote, while the semi-finalists were chosen by 100% televote in the semi-finals. Jone - Ekko inni mig *** The big local favorite apparently. On a positive side this is in Norwegian. I kinda like this but it's not a big favorite of mine I doubt this will end up on any of my playlists. Should this win.... Well, I have no idea how this would do in Liverpool. Lower parts of the grand final perhaps? Eline Thorp - Not ment to be *** I really like the first 45 second, and the past chorus but not such a fan of the chorus itself. She looks a bit suffering in this live performance which troubles me a bit. Not bad though. Maybe a bit forgettable right after the song's over. Could be a song that plays in the closing credits of a movie......
